| 11 | +## Summary |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +This proposal will be adding a new OCM API named `AddOnPlacementScoreGenerator` |
| 14 | +which helps the administrators to provide custom values to Addon controllers |
| 15 | +that generate `AddOnPlacementScores`. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +A valid `AddOnPlacementScoreGenerator` resource should be in a "cluster namespace" and |
| 18 | +the associated config resources will be delivered to the associated managed cluster |
| 19 | +with that "cluster namespace". |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +## Motivation |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +### Influence Addon controllers behavior |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Currently, when writing an Addon in order to extend the scheduling capabilities of OCM |
| 26 | +there is no way to influence behavior of that addon via an API. The controller will run |
| 27 | +and update the status for the `AddOnPlacementScores` object. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +One of the use-cases we want to cover is testing latency from managed clusters to a set |
| 30 | +of user-define locations. With the current `AddOnPlacementScores` implementation we would |
| 31 | +need to hard code these locations or maybe use something like a `ConfigMap` that gets consumed |
| 32 | +by the controller. We don't find these solutions flexible enough, so our proposal would be having |
| 33 | +a new API to influence the behavior of such controllers. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Let's say I want to test latencies to redhat.com and google.com and place my application based on |
| 36 | +the managed cluster with the lowest latency to redhat.com. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Providing I created the required controller with the hardcoded locations (redhat.com and google.com) |
| 39 | +an `AddOnPlacementScores` similar to this one would be created on each managed cluster running this addon: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +~~~yaml |
| 42 | +apiVersion: cluster.open-cluster-management.io/v1alpha1 |
| 43 | +kind: AddOnPlacementScore |
| 44 | +metadata: |
| 45 | + name: cluster1-generator |
| 46 | + namespace: cluster1 |
| 47 | +status: |
| 48 | + conditions: |
| 49 | + - lastTransitionTime: "2021-10-28T08:31:39Z" |
| 50 | + message: AddOnPlacementScore updated successfully |
| 51 | + reason: AddOnPlacementScoreUpdated |
| 52 | + status: "True" |
| 53 | + type: AddOnPlacementScoreUpdated |
| 54 | + validUntil: "2021-10-29T18:31:39Z" |
| 55 | + scores: |
| 56 | + - name: "redhat-com-avgLatency" |
| 57 | + value: 30 |
| 58 | + - name: "google-com-avgLatency" |
| 59 | + value: 50 |
| 60 | +~~~ |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +Now, a `Placement` like this could be used: |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +~~~yaml |
| 65 | +apiVersion: cluster.open-cluster-management.io/v1beta1 |
| 66 | +kind: Placement |
| 67 | +metadata: |
| 68 | + name: latency-placement |
| 69 | + namespace: ns1 |
| 70 | +spec: |
| 71 | + numberOfClusters: 3 |
| 72 | + prioritizerPolicy: |
| 73 | + mode: Exact |
| 74 | + configurations: |
| 75 | + - scoreCoordinate: |
| 76 | + type: AddOn |
| 77 | + addOn: |
| 78 | + resourceName: cluster1-generator |
| 79 | + scoreName: redhat-com-avgLatency |
| 80 | + weight: -1 |
| 81 | +~~~ |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +Other applications may use latency to google.com. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +Now, we want to add linux.com to the list of locations to test. With the current implementation we |
| 86 | +will need to edit the code of the addon controller and include the test to linux.com + the result to be added |
| 87 | +to the `AddOnPlacementScore`. |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +To fix above issue, the proposal is to create a new API `AddOnPlacementScoreGenerator`, which could |
| 90 | +look like this for the example above: |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +~~~yaml |
| 93 | +apiVersion: cluster.open-cluster-management.io/v1alpha1 |
| 94 | +kind: AddOnPlacementScoreGenerator |
| 95 | +metadata: |
| 96 | + name: cluster1-generator |
| 97 | + namespace: cluster1 |
| 98 | +spec: |
| 99 | + addOnPlacementSelector: |
| 100 | + name: latency |
| 101 | + namespace: cluster1 |
| 102 | + latencies: |
| 103 | + - name: redhat-com-avgLatency |
| 104 | + url: https://redhat.com |
| 105 | + runs: 2 |
| 106 | + waitBetweenRuns: 10s |
| 107 | + - name: google-com-avgLatency |
| 108 | + url: https://google.com |
| 109 | + - name: linux-com-avgLatency |
| 110 | + url: https://linux.com |
| 111 | +~~~ |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +Our controller can now read the `AddOnPlacementScoreGenerator` and our specific controller will be interested on |
| 114 | +everything below `.spec.latencies`. For example, the redhat-com-avgLatency will have the result of running two latency |
| 115 | +tests to https://redhat.com and waiting 10s between runs, then the mean value will be posted to the `AddOnPlacementScore` |
| 116 | +status. |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +## Goals & Non-Goals |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +### Goals |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +- Help the administrators to provide custom values to addon controllers that generate `AddOnPlacementScores` |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +### Non-Goals |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +- Addond developers need to develop their own controller to consume this new API. |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +### Future goals |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +- It is currently assumed that the user of `AddOnPlacementScoreGenerator` is either a |
| 131 | +cluster admin or a user who can create `AddOnPlacementScoreGenerator` in the hub cluster's |
| 132 | +managed "cluster namespace". |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +## Design |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +### Component & API |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +We purpose to adding a new custom resource named |
| 139 | +`AddOnPlacementScoreGenerator` introduced into OCM by this proposal: |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +A sample of the `AddOnPlacementScoreGenerator` will be: |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +~~~yaml |
| 144 | +apiVersion: cluster.open-cluster-management.io/v1alpha1 |
| 145 | +kind: AddOnPlacementScoreGenerator |
| 146 | +metadata: |
| 147 | + name: cluster1-generator |
| 148 | + namespace: cluster1 |
| 149 | +spec: |
| 150 | + addOnPlacementSelector: |
| 151 | + name: latency |
| 152 | + namespace: cluster1 |
| 153 | + latencies: |
| 154 | + - name: redhat-com-avgLatency |
| 155 | + url: https://redhat.com |
| 156 | + runs: 2 |
| 157 | + waitBetweenRuns: 10s |
| 158 | + otherPlugin: |
| 159 | + - name: score-name |
| 160 | + optionConsumedByPlugin: optionValue |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +~~~ |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +The `AddOnPlacementScoreGenerator` resource is expected to be |
| 165 | +created under the "cluster namespace" which is a namespace with |
| 166 | +the same name as the managed cluster, the `AddOnPlacementScoreGenerator` |
| 167 | +delivered to the managed cluster will have the same name as the |
| 168 | +`AddOnPlacementScoreGenerator` resource. |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +The addon controller must setup a watcher and reconcile `AddOnPlacementScoreGenerator`. |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +### Test Plan |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +- Unit tests |
| 175 | +- Integration tests |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +### Graduation Criteria |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | +#### Alpha |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +At first, This proposal will be in the alpha stage and needs to meet |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +1. The new APIs are reviewed and accepted; |
| 184 | +2. Implementation is completed to support the functionalities; |
| 185 | +3. Develop test cases to demonstrate this proposal works correctly; |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +#### Beta |
| 188 | +1. Need to revisit the API shape before upgrading to beta based on user feedback. |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +### Upgrade / Downgrade Strategy |
| 191 | +TBD |
| 192 | + |
| 193 | +### Version Skew Strategy |
| 194 | +N/A |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +## Alternatives |
