4. Quarkus Run Modes Understanding the JVM and Native Run Modes JVM A Quarkus application running as bytecode on a JVM Native A Quarkus application as a native binary
5. Building a Quarkus Image in OpenShift A High-Level Abstraction of OCP BuildConfigs Git Repo ImageStream BuildConfig OpenShift Project 1 2 3 1 Clone the application from Git 2 Build the application in OCP 3 Publish the image to an ImageStream
6. BuildConfigs Can Be Challenging to Create Builds Require Both OpenShift and Quarkus Expertise ▸ An understanding of Source and Docker strategies is key ･ Which s2i builder should you use? ･ How should your Dockerfile be written? ▸ Need to know how to configure a BuildConfig ▸ JVM and Native modes require different configurations
7. Building Is Only the First Part...Now You Need to Deploy Here’s a Few Resources to Consider Each resource has its own configuration. ▸ OpenShift expertise is required to understand the available options. ▸ Quarkus expertise is required to understand the best practices behind deploying a Quarkus app.
8. Helm to the Rescue! The Kubernetes Package Manager
9. Helm at a Glance • 2016 - Joined CNCF • 2020 - Graduated status Active development community Top level CNCF Project • 13,000+ contributors • 1,700+ contributing companies • 9,500+ code commits Project Overview • https://helm.sh/ • https://github.com/helm/helm
10. Helm Creates a Wrapper (Called “Charts”) Around OCP Resources { Users can then create each of these resources using a single command...helm install.
11. Helm Allows YAML Definitions to be Dynamically Generated apiVersion: build.openshift.io/v1 kind: BuildConfig . . . spec: . . . source: type: Git git: uri: {{ .Values.build.uri }} contextDir: {{ .Values.build.contextDir }} {{- if and .Values.build.native.useDefaultDockerfile (eq .Values.build.mode “native”) }} dockerfile: |- FROM registry.redhat.com/quarkus/mandrel-20-rhel8 AS builder . . . {{- end }} strategy: {{- if eq .Values.build.mode “jvm” }} type: Source sourceStrategy: . . . apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: . . . spec: replicas: {{ .Values.deploy.replicas }} . . . template: spec: containers: - name: web image: {{ .Release.Name }}:{{ .Values.image.tag }} {{- if .Values.deploy.resources }} resources: {{- toYaml .Values.deploy.resources | nindent 12 }} {{- end }} . . .
12. Users Configure Their Installation Using “Values” build: uri: https://github.com/deweya/quarkus-quickstarts contextDir: getting-started mode: jvm deploy: resources: limits: cpu: 500m memory: 2Gi Create a values.yaml file $ helm install quarkus-app redhat-charts/quarkus --values values.yaml Install the Helm chart BuildConfig ImageStream
13. Installing Charts From Helm Chart Repositories Using the Helm CLI Users can easily install Helm charts by first adding a Helm chart repository using the Helm CLI. $ helm repo add redhat-charts https://redhat-developer.github.io/re dhat-helm-charts/index.yaml Then, users can install charts under the chart repository they added. $ helm install quarkus-app redhat-charts/quarkus --values values.yaml 1 2
14. Installing Charts From Helm Chart Repositories Using the OpenShift UI The Red Hat Helm Chart Repository is already configured OOTB. Optionally, admins can add additional repos by creating a HelmChartRepository resource $ cat <<EOF | oc apply -f - apiVersion: helm.openshift.io/v1beta1 kind: HelmChartRepository metadata: name: redhat-charts spec: name: redhat-charts connectionConfig: url: https://redhat-developer.github.io/re dhat-helm-charts/index.yaml EOF Users can install charts using the OpenShift UI
15. The Quarkus Helm Chart + ▸ A Red Hat Runtimes initiative ▸ Released to the Red Hat Helm Chart Repository as Alpha ･ https://github.com/redhat-developer/re dhat-helm-charts
16. JVM and Native Builds JVM Creates an s2i build, using the java:11 s2i builder by default build: mode: jvm . . . Build mode is determined by the build.mode value Native Creates a Docker build, using a default inline Dockerfile If build.mode is jvm (default) If build.mode is native
17. Default Dockerfile for Native Builds source: type: Git git: uri: {{ .Values.build.uri }} ref: {{ .Values.build.ref }} {{- if and .Values.build.native.useDefaultDockerfile (eq .Values.build.mode "native") }} dockerfile: |- FROM registry.redhat.io/quarkus/mandrel-20-rhel8 AS builder USER root WORKDIR /build/ COPY . /build/ RUN ./mvnw clean package -Pnative FROM registry.redhat.io/ubi8/ubi-minimal WORKDIR /deployments/ COPY --from=builder /build/target/*-runner /deployments/application RUN chmod 110 /deployments/application CMD ["./application", "-Dquarkus.http.host=0.0.0.0"] {{- end }}
18. Externalized Application Properties deploy: applicationProperties: enabled: true mountPath: /deployments/config/ properties: |- quarkus.http.port=8081 greeting.message=Hello! Application properties can be externalized by leveraging the deploy.applicationProperties values Creates A ConfigMap with the specified application properties A volume mount at /deployments/config/
19. ConfigChange and ImageChange Triggers $ helm install quarkus-app redhat-charts/quarkus --values values.yaml Install the Helm chart Build automatically starts Pods automatically roll out Build is finished
20. Freeform Fields Environment variables Init and sidecar containers Volumes and volume mounts Resources Liveness and readiness probes Ports
21. The End Result BuildConfig ImageStream Optional build: uri: https:/my-repo.com/quarkus-app And this can all be configured with a single value, at a minimum!
22. Example Quarkus Project Structure .helm/ values.yaml src/ mvnw pom.xml # Other project files Used to configure the Quarkus Helm chart Very useful for CI/CD tooling and creating repeatable builds and deployments Alternatively, these values can be configured in the UI for short-term use cases
