etcd-carry provides the ability to synchronize resources in the K8s cluster that meet custom rules to the standby k8s cluster in real time.

This is still very experimental and should be used with caution in production environments. At present, it does not support the correct synchronization of Service resources, and does not support the synchronization of data in PVs of stateful services.It is recommended to back up the standby etcd before use.

Supports binary deployment and deployment to K8s with helm.

• debug -- enable client-side debug logging
• mirror-rule -- Specify the custom rules to start mirroring
• encryption-provider-config -- The file containing configuration for encryption providers to be used for storing K8s secrets in etcd
• kube-prefix -- the prefix to all kubernetes resources passed to etcd (default "/registry")
• max-txn-ops -- Maximum number of operations permitted in a transaction during syncing updates (default 128)
• rev -- Specify the kv revision to start to mirror (default 0)
• dial-timeout -- dial timeout for client connections
• keepalive-time -- keepalive time for client connections
• keepalive-timeout -- keepalive timeout for client connections
• source-endpoints -- List of source etcd servers to connect with (scheme://ip:port), comma separated
• source-cacert -- verify certificates of TLS-enabled secure servers using this CA bundle
• source-cert -- identify secure client using this TLS certificate file
• source-key -- identify secure client using this TLS key file
• source-insecure-skip-tls-verify -- skip server certificate verification
• source-insecure-transport -- disable transport security for client connections
• dest-endpoints -- List of sink etcd servers to connect with (scheme://ip:port), comma separated
• dest-cacert -- verify certificates of TLS-enabled secure servers using this CA bundle
• dest-cert -- identify secure client using this TLS certificate file
• dest-key -- identify secure client using this TLS key file
• dest-insecure-skip-tls-verify -- skip server certificate verification
• dest-insecure-transport -- disable transport security for client connections

At present, it mainly supports the synchronization of K8s resources, and more data sources will be supported in the future. If no synchronization rule is specified, running etcd-carry will not synchronize any data on the source cluster to the sink cluster. Synchronization rules are in the form of yaml, the format is as follows:

filters:
  sequential: []
  secondary: []

sequential is used to configure resources that require priority order synchronization; secondary is used to configure resources that do not require priority, and these will be synchronized after sequential finished.

Example 1:

filters:
  sequential:
    - group: apiextensions.k8s.io
      resources:
        - group: apiextensions.k8s.io
          version: v1beta1
          kind: CustomResourceDefinition
    - group: ""
      resources:
        - version: v1
          kind: Namespace
  secondary: []

According to the rules, the CRDs will be synchronized first, and then the Namespaces will be synchronized.

Example 2:

filters:
  sequential:
    - group: ""
      resources:
        - version: v1
          kind: Namespace
      labelSelectors:
        - matchExpressions:
            - key: test.io/namespace-name
              operator: In
              values:
                - test1
                - test2
  secondary: []

According to the rules, Namespaces with the label test.io/namespace-name:test1 or test.io/namespace-name:test2 will be synchronized first.

Example 1:

filters:
  sequential:
    - group: ""
      resources:
        - version: v1
          kind: Namespace
  secondary:
    - group: "monitoring.coreos.com"
      resources:
        - group: monitoring.coreos.com
          version: v1alpha1
          kind: AlertmanagerConfig
        - group: monitoring.coreos.com
          version: v1
          kind: PrometheusRule
        - group: monitoring.coreos.com
          version: v1
          kind: ServiceMonitor
        - group: monitoring.coreos.com
          version: v1
          kind: PodMonitor
      namespaceSelectors:
        - matchExpressions:
            - key: test.io/namespace-name
              operator: In
              values:
                - test1
                - test2

According to the rules, all Namespaces will be synchronized first, and then the AlertmanagerConfig, PrometheusRule, ServiceMonitor, and PodMonitor resources belonging to group monitoring.coreos.com in the specific namespaces will be synchronized. The relevant namespaces must be labeled test.io/namespace-name:test1 or test.io/namespace-name:test2.

Example 2:

filters:
  sequential:
    - group: ""
      resources:
        - version: v1
          kind: Namespace
  secondary:
    - group: ""
      resources:
        - version: v1
          Kind: Secret
      namespaceSelectors:
        - matchExpressions:
            - key: test.io/namespace-name
              operator: In
              values:
                - test1
                - test2
      fieldSelectors:
        - matchExpressions:
            - key: type
              operator: NotIn
              values:
                - kubernetes.io/service-account-token

According to the rules, all Namespaces will be synchronized first, and then the Secrets whose type is not kubernetes.io/service-account-token in the specific namespaces will be synchronized. The relevant namespaces must be labeled test .io/namespace-name:test1 and test.io/namespace-name:test2.

Example 3:

filters:
  sequential:
    - group: ""
      resources:
        - version: v1
          kind: Namespace
  secondary:
    - group: ""
      resources:
        - version: v1
          kind: ConfigMap
        - version: v1
          Kind: Secret
      namespace: test1
      labelSelectors:
        - matchExpressions:
            - key: test.io/configuration
              operator: Exists
        - matchExpressions:
            - key: test.io/credential
              operator: Exists
        - matchExpressions:
            - key: repo.test.io/docker-registry
              operator: Exists
      excludes:
        - resource:
            version: v1
            kind: Secret
          name: test-password-secret
          namespace: test1

According to the rules, all Naemspaces will be synchronized first, then all ConfigMaps and Secrets that were labeled with any of test.io/configuration, test.io/credential and repo.test.io/docker-registry in namespace test1 will be synchronized, except the Secret test-password-secret will not be synchronized.

Example4:

filters:
  sequential:
    - group: ""
      resources:
        - version: v1
          kind: Namespace
  secondary:
    - group: "*.test.io"
      namespace: test1
      excludes:
        - resource:
            group: "app.test.io"
            version: v1beta1
            kind: TestCell
          labelSelectors:
            - matchExpressions:
                - key: app.test.io/required-on-controller
                  operator: In
                  values:
                    - "true"

According to the rules, all Naemspaces will be synchronized first, then synchronize the resources whose group name matches the *.test.io regular rule in namespace test1, except the app.test.io/v1beta1 TestCell that are labeled with app.test.io/required-on-controller:true.

│   └── server.key
└── dest
    ├── ca.crt
    ├── server.crt
    └── server.key

Apply the yamls in ./deploy/examples/kube direcotry to source K8s cluster.

# copy yamls in ./deploy/examples/kube directory to the master node of source K8s cluster
scp -r ./deploy/examples/kube {user}@{source_K8s_cluster_ip}:/opt/
# apply to source K8s cluster
kubectl apply -f /opt/kube/

Execute the following command to start synchronizing test resources that match the rules.

According to the rules in ./deploy/examples/rules.yaml, only the following resources should be synchronized to the sink cluster:

namespace unique
namespace unit-test
secret named influxdb in namespace unique
configmap named influxdb1 in namespace unit-test
