Tutorial: Deploying OpenShift API for Data Protection on a ROSA cluster

edit

This content is authored by Red Hat experts, but has not yet been tested on every supported configuration.
Prerequisites
Environment

  • Prepare the environment variables:

    Change the cluster name to match your ROSA cluster and ensure you are logged into the cluster as an Administrator. Ensure all fields are outputted correctly before moving on.

    		 
    $ export CLUSTER_NAME=$(oc get infrastructure cluster -o=jsonpath="{.status.infrastructureName}"  | sed 's/-[a-z0-9]\{5\}$//')
$ export ROSA_CLUSTER_ID=$(rosa describe cluster -c ${CLUSTER_NAME} --output json | jq -r .id)
$ export REGION=$(rosa describe cluster -c ${CLUSTER_NAME} --output json | jq -r .region.id)
$ export OIDC_ENDPOINT=$(oc get authentication.config.openshift.io cluster -o jsonpath='{.spec.serviceAccountIssuer}' | sed  's|^https://||')
$ export AWS_ACCOUNT_ID=`aws sts get-caller-identity --query Account --output text`
$ export CLUSTER_VERSION=`rosa describe cluster -c ${CLUSTER_NAME} -o json | jq -r .version.raw_id | cut -f -2 -d '.'`
$ export ROLE_NAME="${CLUSTER_NAME}-openshift-oadp-aws-cloud-credentials"
$ export AWS_PAGER=""
$ export SCRATCH="/tmp/${CLUSTER_NAME}/oadp"
$ mkdir -p ${SCRATCH}
$ echo "Cluster ID: ${ROSA_CLUSTER_ID}, Region: ${REGION}, OIDC Endpoint: ${OIDC_ENDPOINT}, AWS Account ID: ${AWS_ACCOUNT_ID}"

Prepare AWS Account

  1. Create an IAM Policy to allow for S3 Access:

    $ POLICY_ARN=$(aws iam list-policies --query "Policies[?PolicyName=='RosaOadpVer1'].{ARN:Arn}" --output text)
if [[ -z "${POLICY_ARN}" ]]; then
$ cat << EOF > ${SCRATCH}/policy.json
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
 {
   "Effect": "Allow",
   "Action": [
     "s3:CreateBucket",
     "s3:DeleteBucket",
     "s3:PutBucketTagging",
     "s3:GetBucketTagging",
     "s3:PutEncryptionConfiguration",
     "s3:GetEncryptionConfiguration",
     "s3:PutLifecycleConfiguration",
     "s3:GetLifecycleConfiguration",
     "s3:GetBucketLocation",
     "s3:ListBucket",
     "s3:GetObject",
     "s3:PutObject",
     "s3:DeleteObject",
     "s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads",
     "s3:AbortMultipartUpload",
     "s3:ListMultipartUploadParts",
     "ec2:DescribeSnapshots",
     "ec2:DescribeVolumes",
     "ec2:DescribeVolumeAttribute",
     "ec2:DescribeVolumesModifications",
     "ec2:DescribeVolumeStatus",
     "ec2:CreateTags",
     "ec2:CreateVolume",
     "ec2:CreateSnapshot",
     "ec2:DeleteSnapshot"
   ],
   "Resource": "*"
 }
]}
EOF
$ POLICY_ARN=$(aws iam create-policy --policy-name "RosaOadpVer1" \
--policy-document file:///${SCRATCH}/policy.json --query Policy.Arn \
--tags Key=rosa_openshift_version,Value=${CLUSTER_VERSION} Key=rosa_role_prefix,Value=ManagedOpenShift Key=operator_namespace,Value=openshift-oadp Key=operator_name,Value=openshift-oadp \
--output text)
fi
$ echo ${POLICY_ARN}

  2. Create an IAM Role trust policy for the cluster:

    $ cat <<EOF > ${SCRATCH}/trust-policy.json
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [{
    "Effect": "Allow",
    "Principal": {
      "Federated": "arn:aws:iam::${AWS_ACCOUNT_ID}:oidc-provider/${OIDC_ENDPOINT}"
    },
    "Action": "sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity",
    "Condition": {
      "StringEquals": {
         "${OIDC_ENDPOINT}:sub": [
           "system:serviceaccount:openshift-adp:openshift-adp-controller-manager",
           "system:serviceaccount:openshift-adp:velero"]
      }
    }
  }]
}
EOF
$ ROLE_ARN=$(aws iam create-role --role-name \
 "${ROLE_NAME}" \
  --assume-role-policy-document file://${SCRATCH}/trust-policy.json \
  --tags Key=rosa_cluster_id,Value=${ROSA_CLUSTER_ID} Key=rosa_openshift_version,Value=${CLUSTER_VERSION} Key=rosa_role_prefix,Value=ManagedOpenShift Key=operator_namespace,Value=openshift-adp Key=operator_name,Value=openshift-oadp \
  --query Role.Arn --output text)

$ echo ${ROLE_ARN}

  3. Attach the IAM Policy to the IAM Role:

    $ aws iam attach-role-policy --role-name "${ROLE_NAME}" \
 --policy-arn ${POLICY_ARN}

Deploy OADP on the cluster

  1. Create a namespace for OADP:

    $ oc create namespace openshift-adp

  2. Create a credentials secret:

    $ cat <<EOF > ${SCRATCH}/credentials
[default]
role_arn = ${ROLE_ARN}
web_identity_token_file = /var/run/secrets/openshift/serviceaccount/token
EOF
$ oc -n openshift-adp create secret generic cloud-credentials \
 --from-file=${SCRATCH}/credentials

  3. Deploy the OADP Operator:

    There is currently an issue with version 1.1 of the Operator with backups that have a PartiallyFailed status. This does not seem to affect the backup and restore process, but it should be noted as there are issues with it.

    		 
    $ cat << EOF | oc create -f -
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1
kind: OperatorGroup
metadata:
 generateName: openshift-adp-
 namespace: openshift-adp
 name: oadp
spec:
 targetNamespaces:
 - openshift-adp
---
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: Subscription
metadata:
 name: redhat-oadp-operator
 namespace: openshift-adp
spec:
 channel: stable-1.2
 installPlanApproval: Automatic
 name: redhat-oadp-operator
 source: redhat-operators
 sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace
EOF

  4. Wait for the Operator to be ready:

    $ watch oc -n openshift-adp get pods
    Example output
    NAME                                                READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
openshift-adp-controller-manager-546684844f-qqjhn   1/1     Running   0          22s

  5. Create Cloud Storage:

    $ cat << EOF | oc create -f -
apiVersion: oadp.openshift.io/v1alpha1
kind: CloudStorage
metadata:
 name: ${CLUSTER_NAME}-oadp
 namespace: openshift-adp
spec:
 creationSecret:
   key: credentials
   name: cloud-credentials
 enableSharedConfig: true
 name: ${CLUSTER_NAME}-oadp
 provider: aws
 region: $REGION
EOF

  6. Check your application’s storage default storage class:

    $ oc get pvc -n <namespace> (1)
    1 Enter your application’s namespace.
    Example output
    NAME     STATUS   VOLUME                                     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS   AGE
applog   Bound    pvc-351791ae-b6ab-4e8b-88a4-30f73caf5ef8   1Gi        RWO            gp3-csi        4d19h
mysql    Bound    pvc-16b8e009-a20a-4379-accc-bc81fedd0621   1Gi        RWO            gp3-csi        4d19h
    $ oc get storageclass
    Example output
    NAME                PROVISIONER             RECLAIMPOLICY   VOLUMEBINDINGMODE      ALLOWVOLUMEEXPANSION   AGE
gp2                 kubernetes.io/aws-ebs   Delete          WaitForFirstConsumer   true                   4d21h
gp2-csi             ebs.csi.aws.com         Delete          WaitForFirstConsumer   true                   4d21h
gp3                 ebs.csi.aws.com         Delete          WaitForFirstConsumer   true                   4d21h
gp3-csi (default)   ebs.csi.aws.com         Delete          WaitForFirstConsumer   true                   4d21h

    Using either gp3-csi, gp2-csi, gp3 or gp2 will work. If the application(s) that are being backed up are all using PV’s with CSI, include the CSI plugin in the OADP DPA configuration.

  7. CSI only: Deploy a Data Protection Application:

    $ cat << EOF | oc create -f -
apiVersion: oadp.openshift.io/v1alpha1
kind: DataProtectionApplication
metadata:
 name: ${CLUSTER_NAME}-dpa
 namespace: openshift-adp
spec:
 backupImages: true
 features:
   dataMover:
     enable: false
 backupLocations:
 - bucket:
     cloudStorageRef:
       name: ${CLUSTER_NAME}-oadp
     credential:
       key: credentials
       name: cloud-credentials
     prefix: velero
     default: true
     config:
       region: ${REGION}
 configuration:
   velero:
     defaultPlugins:
     - openshift
     - aws
     - csi
   restic:
     enable: false
EOF

    If you run this command for CSI volumes, you can skip the next step.

  8. Non-CSI volumes: Deploy a Data Protection Application:

    $ cat << EOF | oc create -f -
apiVersion: oadp.openshift.io/v1alpha1
kind: DataProtectionApplication
metadata:
 name: ${CLUSTER_NAME}-dpa
 namespace: openshift-adp
spec:
 backupImages: true
 features:
   dataMover:
     enable: false
 backupLocations:
 - bucket:
     cloudStorageRef:
       name: ${CLUSTER_NAME}-oadp
     credential:
       key: credentials
       name: cloud-credentials
     prefix: velero
     default: true
     config:
       region: ${REGION}
 configuration:
   velero:
     defaultPlugins:
     - openshift
     - aws
   restic:
     enable: false
 snapshotLocations:
   - velero:
       config:
         credentialsFile: /tmp/credentials/openshift-adp/cloud-credentials-credentials
         enableSharedConfig: 'true'
         profile: default
         region: ${REGION}
       provider: aws
EOF

  • In OADP 1.1.x ROSA STS environments, the container image backup and restore (spec.backupImages) value must be set to false as it is not supported.

  • The Restic feature (restic.enable=false) is disabled and not supported in ROSA STS environments.

  • The DataMover feature (dataMover.enable=false) is disabled and not supported in ROSA STS environments.

Perform a backup

The following sample hello-world application has no attached persistent volumes. Either DPA configuration will work.

  1. Create a workload to back up:

    $ oc create namespace hello-world
$ oc new-app -n hello-world --image=docker.io/openshift/hello-openshift

  2. Expose the route:

    $ oc expose service/hello-openshift -n hello-world

  3. Check that the application is working:

    $ curl `oc get route/hello-openshift -n hello-world -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}'`
    Example output
    Hello OpenShift!

  4. Back up the workload:

    $ cat << EOF | oc create -f -
apiVersion: velero.io/v1
kind: Backup
metadata:
 name: hello-world
 namespace: openshift-adp
spec:
 includedNamespaces:
 - hello-world
 storageLocation: ${CLUSTER_NAME}-dpa-1
 ttl: 720h0m0s
EOF

  5. Wait until the backup is done:

    $ watch "oc -n openshift-adp get backup hello-world -o json | jq .status"
    Example output
    {
 "completionTimestamp": "2022-09-07T22:20:44Z",
 "expiration": "2022-10-07T22:20:22Z",
 "formatVersion": "1.1.0",
 "phase": "Completed",
 "progress": {
   "itemsBackedUp": 58,
   "totalItems": 58
 },
 "startTimestamp": "2022-09-07T22:20:22Z",
 "version": 1
}

  6. Delete the demo workload:

    $ oc delete ns hello-world

  7. Restore from the backup:

    $ cat << EOF | oc create -f -
apiVersion: velero.io/v1
kind: Restore
metadata:
 name: hello-world
 namespace: openshift-adp
spec:
 backupName: hello-world
EOF

  8. Wait for the Restore to finish:

    $ watch "oc -n openshift-adp get restore hello-world -o json | jq .status"
    Example output
    {
 "completionTimestamp": "2022-09-07T22:25:47Z",
 "phase": "Completed",
 "progress": {
   "itemsRestored": 38,
   "totalItems": 38
 },
 "startTimestamp": "2022-09-07T22:25:28Z",
 "warnings": 9
}

  9. Check that the workload is restored:

    $ oc -n hello-world get pods
    Example output
    NAME                              READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
hello-openshift-9f885f7c6-kdjpj   1/1     Running   0          90s
    $ curl `oc get route/hello-openshift -n hello-world -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}'`
    Example output
    Hello OpenShift!

Cleanup

  1. Delete the workload:

    $ oc delete ns hello-world

  2. Remove the backup and restore resources from the cluster if they are no longer required:

    $ oc delete backup hello-world
$ oc delete restore hello-world

  3. To delete the backup/restore and remote objects in s3:

    $ velero backup delete hello-world
$ velero restore delete hello-world

  4. Delete the Data Protection Application:

    $ oc -n openshift-adp delete dpa ${CLUSTER_NAME}-dpa

  5. Delete the Cloud Storage:

    $ oc -n openshift-adp delete cloudstorage ${CLUSTER_NAME}-oadp

    If this command hangs, you might need to delete the finalizer:

    $ oc -n openshift-adp patch cloudstorage ${CLUSTER_NAME}-oadp -p '{"metadata":{"finalizers":null}}' --type=merge

  6. Remove the Operator if it is no longer required:

    $ oc -n openshift-adp delete subscription oadp-operator

  7. Remove the namespace for the Operator:

    $ oc delete ns redhat-openshift-adp

  8. Remove the Custom Resource Definitions from the cluster if you no longer wish to have them:

    $ for CRD in `oc get crds | grep velero | awk '{print $1}'`; do oc delete crd $CRD; done
$ for CRD in `oc get crds | grep -i oadp | awk '{print $1}'`; do oc delete crd $CRD; done

  9. Delete the AWS S3 Bucket:

    $ aws s3 rm s3://${CLUSTER_NAME}-oadp --recursive
$ aws s3api delete-bucket --bucket ${CLUSTER_NAME}-oadp

  10. Detach the Policy from the role:

    $ aws iam detach-role-policy --role-name "${ROLE_NAME}" \
 --policy-arn "${POLICY_ARN}"

  11. Delete the role:

    $ aws iam delete-role --role-name "${ROLE_NAME}"
