Goal

Sdewan CRD Controller (config agent) is the controller of Sdewan CRDs. With the CRD Controller, we are able to deploy Sdewan CRs to configure CNF rules. In this page, we have the following terms, let's define them here.

CNF Deployment: A deployment running network function process(openWRT)
Sdewan rule: The rule defines the CNF behaves. We have 3 classes of rules: mwan3, firewall, ipsec. Each class includes several kinds of rules. For example, mwan3 has 2 kinds: mwan3_policy and mwan3_rule. Firewall has 5 kinds: firewall_zone, firewall_snat, firewall_dnat, firewall_forwarding, firewall_rule. Ipsec has xx(ruoyu) kinds: xx, xx.
Sdewan rule CRD: The CRD defines each kind of sdewan rule. For each kind of Sdewan rule, we have a Sdewan rule CRD. Sdewan rule CRD is namespaced resource.
Sdewan rule CR: Instance of Sdewan rule CRD.
Sdewan controller: The controller watching Sdewan rule CRs.
CNF: A network function running in container.

To deploy a CNF, user needs to create one CNF deployment and some Sdewan rule CRs. In a Kubernetes namespace, there could be more than one CNF deployment and many Sdewan rule CRs. We use label to correlate one CNF with some Sdewan rule CRs. The Sdewan controller watches Sdewan rule CRs and applies them onto the correlated CNF by calling CNF REST api.

Sdwan Design Principle

There could be multiple tenants/namespaces in a Kubernetes cluster. User may deploy multiple CNFs in any one or more tenants.
The replica of CNF deployment could be more than one for active/backup purpose. We should apply rules for all the pods under CNF deployment. (This release doesn't implement VRRP between pods)
CNF deployment and Sdewan rule CRs can be created/updated/deleted in any order
The Sdewan controller and CNF process could be crash/restart at anytime for some reasons. We need to handle these scenarios
Each Sdewan rule CR has labels to identify the type it belongs to. 3 types are available at this time: basic, app-intent and k8s-service. We extend k8s user role permission so that we can set user permission at type level of Sdewan rule CR
Sdewan rule CR dependencies are checked on creating/updating/deleting. For example, if we create a mwan3_rule CR which uses policy policy-x, but no mwan3_policy CR named policy-x exists. Then we block the request

CNF Deployment

In this section we describe what the CNF deployment should be like, as well as the pod under the deployment.

CNF pod should has multiple network interfaces attached. We use multus and ovn4nfv CNIs to enable multiple interfaces. So in the CNF pod yaml, we set annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks, k8s.plugin.opnfv.org/nfn-network.
When user deploys a CNF, she/he most likely want to deploy the CNF on a specified node instead of a random node. Because some nodes may don't have provider network connected. So we set spec.nodeSelector for pod
CNF pod runs Sdewan CNF (based on openWRT in ICN). We use image integratedcloudnative/openwrt:dev
CNF pod should setup with rediness probe. Sdewan controller would check pod readiness before calling CNF REST api.

Architecture

Image Added

SDEWAN CRD Controller internally calls SDEWAN Restful API to do CNF configuration. And a remote client (e.g. SDEWAN Overlay Controller) can manage SDEWAN CNF configuration through creating/updating/deleting SDEWAN CRs. It includes below components:

MWAN3 Controller: monitor mwan3 related CR change then do mwan3 configuration in SDEWAN CNF
Firewall Controller: monitor firewall related CR change then do firewall configuration in SDEWAN CNF
IpSec Controller: monitor ipsec related CR change then do ipsec configuration in SDEWAN CNF
Service/Application Controller: configure firewall/NAT rule for in-cluster service and application
Runtime controller: collect runtime information of CNF include IPSec, IKE, firewall/NAT connections, DHCP leases, DNS entries, ARP entries etc..
BucketPerssion/LabelValidateWebhook: do sdewan CR request permission check based on CR label and user

Sdewan rule CRs

CRD defines all properties of a resource, but it's not human friendly. So we paste Sdewan rule CR samples instead of CRDs.

Each Sdewan rule CR has a label named sdewanPurpose to indicate which CNF should the rule be applied onto
Each Sdewan rule CR has the status field which indicates if the latest rule is applied and when it's applied
Mwan3Policy.spec.members[].network should match the networks defined in CNF pod annotation k8s.plugin.opnfv.org/nfn-network. As well as FirewallZone.spec[].network

Sdewan rule CRD Reconcile Logic

As we have many kinds of CRDs, they have almost the same reconcile logic. So we only describe the Mwan3Rule logic.

Mwan3Rule Reconcile could be triggered by the following cases:

Create/Update/Delete Mwan3Rule CR
CNF deployment ready status change (With predicate feature, we can only watch CNF deployment readiness status. With enqueueRequestsFromMapFunc, we can enqueue all Mwan3Rule CRs with specified labels.sdewanPurpose, if CNF deployment's ready status changes)
- CNF becomes ready after creating
- CNF becomes ready after restart
- CNF becomes not-ready after crash

Mwan3Rule Reconcile flow:

def Mwan3RuleReconciler.Reconcile(req ctrl.Request): rule_cr = k8sClient.get(req.NamespacedName) cnf_deployment = k8sClient.get_deployment_with_label(rule_cr.labels.sdewanPurpose) if rule_cr DeletionTimestamp exists: # The CR is being deleted. finalizer on the CR if cnf_deployment exists: if cnf_deployment is ready: for cnf_pod in cnf_deployment: err = openwrt_client.delete_rule(cnf_pod_ip, rule_cr) if err: return "re-queue req" rule_cr.finalizer = nil return "ok" else: return "re-queue req" else

...

No reconcile executed before the controller goes up. The rule CRs have empty status, no rules applied to the CNF deployment
Once the controller goes up, it reconciles every rule CR. In the reconcile function, rules are applied and rule CRs status.appliedVersion are updated

...

During the controller are down, rule are not deleted from the CNF Deployment. The rule CRs are not deleted from k8s etcd because of finalizer.
Once the controller goes up, it reconciles every rule CR. It calls CNF api to delete rules and remove CR finalizer.

CNF Service CR

.spec.fullname - The full name of the target service, with which we can get the service IP

.spec.port - The port exposed by CNF, we will do DNAT for the requests accessing this port of CNF

For MWAN3 rule 2, we don't make any change
CNF-pod-1 is up
Info
As controller is down, so no event, no reconcile. As pod restart, CNF-pod-1 is running with no/default configuration.

Controller is up.

Info

Controller reconciles for all CRs. For rule1 CR, controller calls cnf api to delete rule1 from both CNF-pod-1 and CNF-pod-2. Then controller removes finalizer from the rule1 CR, then rule1 CR is deleted from etcd by k8s. For rule2, controller calls cnf api to update rul2 for both CNF-pod-1 and CNF-pod-2. Then set rule2 status.appliedVersion=<current-version> and status.appliedTime=<now-time> and status.inSync=true. For rule3, controller calls cnf api to add rul3 for both CNF-pod-1 and CNF-pod-2. Then set rule3 finalizer. Also set rule3 status.appliedVersion=<current-version> and status.appliedTime=<now-time> and status.inSync=true.

Ensure that CNF-pod-1 and CNF-pod-2 have latest configuration and there is no duplicate information.
Info
Once the reconcile finish, both CNF-pod-1 and CNF-pod-2 have latest configuration.

Admission Webhook Usage

We use admission webhook to implemention several features.

Prevent creating more than one CNF of the same lable and the same namespace
Validate CR dependencies. For example, mwan3 rule depends on mwan3 policy
Extend user permission to control the operations on rule CRs. For example, we can control that ONAP can't update/delete rule CRs created by platform.

Sdewan rule CR type level Permission Implementation

8s support permission control on namespace level. For example, user1 may be able to create/update/delete one kind of resource(e.g. pod) in namespace ns1, but not namespace ns2. For Sdewan, this can't fit our requirement. We want label level control of Sdewan rule CRs. For example, user_onap can create/update/delete Mwan3Rule CR of label sdewan-bucket-type=app-intent, but not label sdewan-bucket-type=basic.

Let me first describe the extended permission system and then explain how we implement it. In k8s, user or serviceAccount could be bonded to one or more roles. The roles defines the permissions, for example the following role defines that sdewan-test role can create/update Mwan3Rule CRs in default namespace. Also sdewan-testrole can get Mwan3Policy CRs.

Code Block

language	yml

apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: Role
metadata:
  annotations:
  name: sdewan-test
  namespace: default
rules:
- apiGroups:
  - ""
  resources:
  - mwan3rules
  verbs:
  - create
  - update
- apiGroups:
  - ""
  resources:
  - mwan3policies
  verbs:
  - get

...

Code Block

language	py

def mwan3rule_webhook_handle_permission(req admission.Request):
  userinfo = req["userInfo]
  mwan3rule_cr = decode(req)
  roles = k8s_client.get_role_from_user(userinfo)
  for role in roles:
    if mwan3rule_cr.labels.sdewan-bucket-type in role.annotation.sdewan-bucket-type-permission.mwan3rules:
      return {"allowd": True}
  return {"allowd": False}

ServiceRule controller (For next release)

We create a controller watches the services created in the cluster. For each service, it creates a FirewallDNAT CR. On controller startup, it makes a syncup to remove unused CRs.
