✨ Kubernetes integration

[Meshiest]

✨ Feature

Extensions to snops-cli to build Kubernetes deployments automatically from environment specs, and run the controlplane within k8s

Motivation

Reduces friction for getting a snops environment setup, allows automated cloud native deployment of isonets.

Use cases

Simple isonet creation with ZERO YAML (no config files)

Deploy containerized agents for a generic size network

• snops-cli k8s generate network --validators 4 --clients 4 | kubectl apply -f -

(example command, needs more info to determine if these are real mainnet/testnet/canary nodes or isonet nodes)

1. Generates a spec file with 4 validators and 4 clients
2. Creates a deployment for running a controlplane and 8 agents connecting to the controlplane
3. Starts/updates the environment and delegates all the agents

Simple environment setup

Deploy containerized agents for any existing environment

• snops-cli k8s generate -f my-env.yaml | kubectl apply -f -

1. Determines the number of agents needed for a spec
2. Generates a deployment for running a controlplane and that many agents
3. Starts/updates the environment and delegates all the agents

Example setup with monitoring

Some mechanism to inject Prometheus/Grafana into the k8s cluster

Implementation

• Using the image from ✅ Docker image for running an agent #277, and a new image for the controlplane, create an example kubernetes yaml for deploying snops
• Upgrade snops-cli to generate kubernetes yaml definitions
• Allow the controlplane to deploy/update an environment on startup (from env or a file)
• Allow the controlplane to wait for agents to come online before preparing, or have some way of delegating agents on the fly
