Serverless Cloud Native Runtimes

Videos

Setup

Checkout the base project git clone https://github.com/redhat-appdev-practice/polyglot-knative.git

Overview

The purpose of this repository is to give simple examples of Knative serving applications in a range of common languages and frameworks, primarily supported as "Red Hat Cloud Native Runtimes". The languages / frameworks covered are:

• Node.js
• C#
• Quarkus
• Vert.x
• Spring Boot
• Camel-k

The intention is to use OpenShift S2I tools where possible to perform builds, reducing the need to install specific local tooling e.g. podman, maven.

OpenShift Environment setup

Install Serverless and Camel-k Operators

Deploy operator subscriptions

oc apply -f ./deploy/operator-subscriptions.yaml

Create knative-serving project

oc new-project knative-serving

Install knative-serving

oc apply -f ./deploy/knative-serving.yaml

It can take some time for Knative serving to be fully installed, you could see some pod restarts, eventually you should see:

oc get pods
activator-6c4754ff4-bsvrf           1/1       Running   1          58s
activator-6c4754ff4-dzz4d           1/1       Running   0          43s

Create knative-test project

oc new-project knative-test

Node.js

Build node.js app image

oc new-build nodejs:12~https://github.com/deewhyweb/polyglot-knative.git --context-dir=/samples/node

Watch the build logs:

oc logs -f -n knative-test $(oc get pods -o name -n knative-test | grep build)

Once the image is pushed successfully, and the build is complete we can delete the build pod:

oc delete pod --field-selector=status.phase==Succeeded -n knative-test

Deploy the Knative service

oc apply -f ./deploy/event-display-nodejs.yaml

Monitor the logs of the node.js Knative service:

oc logs -f -c user-container -n knative-test $(oc get pods -o name -n knative-test | grep event-display)

Test the Knative service

curl $(oc get ksvc event-display-nodejs -o custom-columns=url:status.url --no-headers) -w "%{time_starttransfer}\n"

C#

Build .NET app image

oc new-build dotnet:3.1~https://github.com/deewhyweb/polyglot-knative.git --context-dir=/samples/csharp --to="csharp" --name="csharp"

Watch the build logs:

oc logs -f -n knative-test $(oc get pods -o name -n knative-test | grep build)

Once the image is pushed successfully, and the build is complete we can delete the build pod:

oc delete pod --field-selector=status.phase==Succeeded -n knative-test

Deploy the Knative service

oc apply -f ./deploy/event-display-csharp.yaml

Test the Knative service

curl $(oc get ksvc event-display-csharp -o custom-columns=url:status.url --no-headers) -w "%{time_starttransfer}\n"

Quarkus

For the Quarkus build we need to create a modified build config (and an image stream) to allow more resources to the build.

Create image stream

oc apply -f ./deploy/is-quarkus-quickstart-native.yaml

Create the quarkus build config

oc apply -f ./deploy/quarkus-build-config.yaml

Watch the build logs:

oc logs -f -n knative-test $(oc get pods -o name -n knative-test | grep build)

Once the image is pushed successfully, and the build is complete we can delete the build pod:

oc delete pod --field-selector=status.phase==Succeeded -n knative-test

Deploy the Knative service

oc apply -f ./deploy/event-display-quarkus.yaml

Test the Knative service

curl $(oc get ksvc event-display-quarkus -o custom-columns=url:status.url --no-headers) -w "%{time_starttransfer}\n"

vert.x

Create vert.x image stream

oc apply -f ./deploy/is-vertx.yaml

Build vert.x image

oc apply -f ./deploy/vertx-build-config.yaml

Watch the build logs:

oc logs -f -n knative-test $(oc get pods -o name -n knative-test | grep build)

Once the image is pushed successfully, and the build is complete we can delete the build pod:

oc delete pod --field-selector=status.phase==Succeeded -n knative-test

Deploy the Knative service

oc apply -f ./deploy/event-display-vertx.yaml

Test the Knative service

curl $(oc get ksvc event-display-vertx -o custom-columns=url:status.url --no-headers) -w "%{time_starttransfer}\n"

Spring Boot

Build the Spring Boot app image

oc new-build openjdk-8-rhel8:1.1~https://github.com/deewhyweb/polyglot-knative.git --context-dir=/samples/spring --to="spring" --name="spring"

Watch the build logs:

oc logs -f -n knative-test $(oc get pods -o name -n knative-test | grep build)

Once the image is pushed successfully, and the build is complete we can delete the build pod:

oc delete pod --field-selector=status.phase==Succeeded -n knative-test

Deploy the Knative service

oc apply -f ./deploy/event-display-spring.yaml

Test the Knative service

curl $(oc get ksvc event-display-spring -o custom-columns=url:status.url --no-headers) -w "%{time_starttransfer}\n"

Camel-k

Install the Kamel CLI from https://github.com/apache/camel-k/releases

Deploy and configure the Camel-k integration

kamel run ./samples/Camel-k/Sample.java --name event-display-camel --dependency camel-undertow --env CAMEL_SETBODY="Response received from POD : \\{\\{env:HOSTNAME\\}\\}"

The camel CLI will create the image build, and create the Knative service from the image. Run the following commands to watch the progress.

oc get it
NAME      PHASE          KIT                        REPLICAS
event-display-camel    Building Kit   kit-bslepn11l893qqtt713g

Wait for the integration to be ready:

oc get it
NAME      PHASE     KIT                        REPLICAS
event-display-camel    Running   kit-bslepn11l893qqtt713g   0

Once the integration is ready watch the deployment which will create the Knative service.

oc get pods
NAME                                       READY     STATUS              RESTARTS   AGE

camel-k-kit-bslepn11l893qqtt713g-builder   0/1       Completed           0          2m19s
event-display-camel-wnnsf-deployment-84744bfbdd-xpdw5   0/2       ContainerCreating   0          6s

oc get deployment

event-display-camel-wnnsf-deployment   0/1       1            0           9s

oc get ksvc      
NAME      URL                                                                             LATESTCREATED   LATESTREADY    READY     REASON
event-display-camel    http://event-display-camel-camelknative.apps.xxx.yourcluster.com   event-display-camel-wnnsf    event-display-camel-wnnsf   Unknown

Once the Knative service is created, test the Knative service

curl $(oc get ksvc event-display-camel -o custom-columns=url:status.url --no-headers)/test -w "\n%{time_starttransfer}\n"
