Verrazzano Module Operator

Instructions for building and testing the Verrazzano module operator.

Prerequisites

• controller-gen v0.9.2
• go version v1.19
• Docker
• kubectl
• helm (for testing)

Build the Verrazzano module operator

• To build the operator:

  make go-build
  

Build and push Docker image

• To build the Docker image:

  DOCKER_REPO=<repo> DOCKER_NAMESPACE=<namespace> make docker-build
  

• To build and push the Docker image:

  DOCKER_REPO=<repo> DOCKER_NAMESPACE=<namespace> make docker-push
  

• To build and push the Docker image and generate artifacts:

  IMAGE_PULL_SECRETS=<secret name> DOCKER_REPO=<repo> DOCKER_NAMESPACE=<namespace> make generate-operator-artifacts docker-push
  

Running on a cluster

1. After building and pushing the Docker image and generating the operator artifacts, apply the operator YAML file:

   kubectl apply -f build/deploy/verrazzano-module-operator.yaml
   

2. Wait for the operator:

   kubectl -n verrazzano-install rollout status deployment/verrazzano-module-operator
   

3. Alternatively, apply the CRDs and use make to run the operator:

   kubectl apply -f manifests/charts/operators/verrazzano-module-operator/crds/*
   make run
   

Testing

1. After installing the operator, apply a Module CR:

   kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
   apiVersion: platform.verrazzano.io/v1alpha1
   kind: Module
   metadata:
     name: vz-test
   spec:
     moduleName: helm
     targetNamespace: default
   EOF
   

2. Verify that the Helm chart was installed:

   helm ls
   

Modifying the API definitions

If you update the API definitions, then you must regenerate CRDs and code.

• To generate manifests (for example, CRDs):

  make manifests
  

• To generate code (for example, zz_generated.deepcopy.go):

  make generate
