The kubernetes pod with persistent volumes protectable and protection plugins¶

The kubernetes pod protectable plugin:¶

A new protectable plugin about The kubernetes pod need be implemented. The type of resource the kubernetes pod is “OS::Kubernetes::Pod”. It will be added to the constant RESOURCE_TYPES in Karbor.

1. The parent resource types: PROJECT_RESOURCE_TYPE

2. list the resources:

   This interface of plugin will call the ‘list_pod_for_all_namespaces’ API method in the kubernetes python client[1].

3. show the resource:

   This interface of plugin will call the ‘read_namespaced_pod’ method API method in the kubernetes python client. The parameter is a pod id.

4. get dependent resources:

   The parameter parent_resource is a project, this interface of plugin will return the kubernetes pod in this project.

The volume protectable plugin:¶

1. Add a new parent resource types: “OS::Kubernetes::Pod”

2. get dependent resources:

   The parameter parent_resource is a kubernetes pod, this interface of plugin will return the persistent volumes list provided by Cinder in the this parent resource pod.

The kubernetes pod protection plugin¶

A new protection plugin about the kubernetes pod need be implemented.

1. Protect Operation: The configurations and metadata in etcd service about the pod will be saved to the bank of Karbor.

2. Restore Operation: The persistent volumes of the pod will be restored by Cinder Volume plugins.

   Get the configurations and metadata in etcd service about the pod from bank, and create a new pod with restored persistent volumes from cinder in the kubernetes cluster.

3. Delete Operation:

   The configurations and metadata about the pod will be deleted from the bank. The backup data of persistent volumes will be deleted from Cinder.
