Getting Started - Multiple Providers (Service Mesh Interface and NGiNX Ingress)

!!! important Available since v1.2

This guide covers how Argo Rollouts integrates with multiple TrafficRoutings, using Linkerd and NGINX Ingress Controller for traffic shaping, but you should be able to produce any other combination between the existing trafficRouting options.

This guide builds upon the concepts of the basic getting started guide, NGINX Guide, and SMI Guide.

Requirements

  • Kubernetes cluster with Linkerd installed
  • Kubernetes cluster with NGINX ingress controller installed and part of the mesh

!!! tip See the environment setup guide for linkerd on how to setup a local minikube environment with linkerd and nginx.

1. Deploy the Rollout, Services, and Ingress

When SMI is used as one the traffic routers, the Rollout canary strategy must define the following mandatory fields:

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Rollout
metadata:
  name: rollouts-demo
spec:
  strategy:
    canary:
      # Reference to a Service which the controller will update to point to the canary ReplicaSet
      canaryService: rollouts-demo-canary
      # Reference to a Service which the controller will update to point to the stable ReplicaSet
      stableService: rollouts-demo-stable
      trafficRouting:
        smi: {}

When NGINX Ingress is used as the traffic router, the Rollout canary strategy must define the following mandatory fields:

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Rollout
metadata:
  name: rollouts-demo
spec:
  strategy:
    canary:
      # Reference to a Service which the controller will update to point to the canary ReplicaSet
      canaryService: rollouts-demo-canary
      # Reference to a Service which the controller will update to point to the stable ReplicaSet
      stableService: rollouts-demo-stable
      trafficRouting:
        nginx:
          # Reference to an Ingress which has a rule pointing to the stable service (e.g. rollouts-demo-stable)
          # This ingress will be cloned with a new name, in order to achieve NGINX traffic splitting.
          stableIngress: rollouts-demo-stable
...

A combination of both should have comply with each TrafficRouting requirements, in this case:

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Rollout
metadata:
  name: rollouts-demo
spec:
  strategy:
    canary:
      # Reference to a Service which the controller will update to point to the canary ReplicaSet
      canaryService: rollouts-demo-canary
      # Reference to a Service which the controller will update to point to the stable ReplicaSet
      stableService: rollouts-demo-stable
      trafficRouting:
        nginx:
          # Reference to an Ingress which has a rule pointing to the stable service (e.g. rollouts-demo-stable)
          # This ingress will be cloned with a new name, in order to achieve NGINX traffic splitting.
          stableIngress: rollouts-demo-stable
        smi: {}

The Ingress referenced in canary.trafficRouting.nginx.stableIngress is required to have a host rule which has a backend targeting the Service referenced under canary.stableService. In our example, that stable Service is named: rollouts-demo-stable:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: rollouts-demo-stable
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
spec:
  rules:
  - host: rollouts-demo.local
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        backend:
          # Reference to a Service name, also specified in the Rollout spec.strategy.canary.stableService field
          serviceName: rollouts-demo-stable
          servicePort: 80

Run the following commands to deploy:

  • A Rollout with the Linkerd linkerd.io/inject: enabled annotation
  • Two Services (stable and canary)
  • An Ingress
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-rollouts/master/docs/getting-started/mixed/rollout.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-rollouts/master/docs/getting-started/mixed/services.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-rollouts/master/docs/getting-started/mixed/ingress.yaml

After applying the manifests you should see the following rollout, services, and ingress resources in the cluster:

$ kubectl get ro
NAME            DESIRED   CURRENT   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE
rollouts-demo   1         2         1            2

$ kubectl get svc
NAME                   TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)   AGE
rollouts-demo-canary   ClusterIP   10.111.69.188    <none>        80/TCP    23m
rollouts-demo-stable   ClusterIP   10.109.175.248   <none>        80/TCP    23m

$ kubectl get ing
NAME                   CLASS    HOSTS                 ADDRESS        PORTS   AGE
rollouts-demo-stable   <none>   rollouts-demo.local   192.168.64.2   80      23m

You should also see a TrafficSplit resource which is created automatically and owned by the rollout:

$ kubectl get trafficsplit
NAME            SERVICE
rollouts-demo   rollouts-demo-stable

When inspecting the generated TrafficSplit resource, the weights are automatically configured to send 100% traffic to the rollouts-demo-stable service, and 0% traffic to the rollouts-demo-canary. These values will be updated during an update.

apiVersion: split.smi-spec.io/v1alpha1
kind: TrafficSplit
metadata:
  name: rollouts-demo
  namespace: default
spec:
  backends:
  - service: rollouts-demo-canary
    weight: "0"
  - service: rollouts-demo-stable
    weight: "100"
  service: rollouts-demo-stable

You should also notice a second ingress created by the rollouts controller, rollouts-demo-rollouts-demo-stable-canary. This ingress is the "canary ingress", which is a clone of the user-managed Ingress referenced under nginx.stableIngress. It is used by nginx ingress controller to achieve canary traffic splitting. The name of the generated ingress is formulated using <ROLLOUT-NAME>-<INGRESS-NAME>-canary. More details on the second Ingress are discussed in the following section.

2. Perform an update

Now perform an update the rollout by changing the image, and wait for it to reached the paused state.

kubectl argo rollouts set image rollouts-demo rollouts-demo=argoproj/rollouts-demo:yellow
kubectl argo rollouts get rollout rollouts-demo

Rollout Paused

At this point, both the canary and stable version of the Rollout are running, with 5% of the traffic directed to the canary and 95% to the stable. When inspecting the TrafficSplit generated by the controller, we see that the weight has been updated to reflect the current setWeight: 5 step of the canary deploy.

apiVersion: split.smi-spec.io/v1alpha1
kind: TrafficSplit
metadata:
  name: rollouts-demo
  namespace: default
spec:
  backends:
  - service: rollouts-demo-canary
    weight: "5"
  - service: rollouts-demo-stable
    weight: "95"
  service: rollouts-demo-stable

When inspecting the rollout controller generated Ingress copy, we see that it has the following changes over the original ingress:

  1. Two additional NGINX specific canary annotations are added to the annotations.
  2. The Ingress rules will have an rule which points the backend to the canary service.
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: rollouts-demo-rollouts-demo-stable-canary
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary: "true"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary-weight: "5"
spec:
  rules:
  - host: rollouts-demo.local
    http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          serviceName: rollouts-demo-canary
          servicePort: 80

As the Rollout progresses through steps, the weights in the TrafficSplit and Ingress resource will be adjusted to match the current setWeight of the steps.
