Documentation

Overview

Package implements Kubernetes resources synchronization and provides the following main features:

• basic syncing
• resource pruning
• resource hooks
• sync waves
• sync options

Basic Syncing

Executes equivalent of `kubectl apply` for each specified resource. The apply operations are executed in the predefined order depending of resource type: namespaces, custom resource definitions first and workload resources last.

Resource Pruning

An ability to delete resources that no longer should exist in the cluster. By default obsolete resources are not deleted and only reported in the sync operation result.

Resource Hooks

Hooks provide an ability to create resources such as Pod, Job or any other resource, that are 'executed' before, after or even during the synchronization process. Hooks enable use-cases such as database migration and post sync notifications.

Hooks are regular Kubernetes resources that have `argocd.argoproj.io/hook` annotation:

apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job
metadata:
  generateName: schema-migrate-
  annotations:
    argocd.argoproj.io/hook: PreSync

The annotation value indicates the sync operation phase:

• PreSync - executes prior to the apply of the manifests.
• PostSync - executes after all Sync hooks completed and were successful, a successful apply, and all resources in a Healthy state.
• SyncFail - executes when the sync operation fails.
• Sync - executes after all PreSync hooks completed and were successful, at the same time as the apply of the manifests.

Named hooks (i.e. ones with /metadata/name) will only be created once. If you want a hook to be re-created each time either use BeforeHookCreation policy (see below) or /metadata/generateName.

The same resource hook might be executed in several sync phases:

apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job
metadata:
  generateName: schema-migrate-
  annotations:
    argocd.argoproj.io/hook: PreSync,PostSync

Hooks can be deleted in an automatic fashion using the annotation: argocd.argoproj.io/hook-delete-policy.

apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job
metadata:
  generateName: integration-test-
  annotations:
    argocd.argoproj.io/hook: PostSync
    argocd.argoproj.io/hook-delete-policy: HookSucceeded

The following policies define when the hook will be deleted.

• HookSucceeded - the hook resource is deleted after the hook succeeded (e.g. Job/Workflow completed successfully).
• HookFailed - the hook resource is deleted after the hook failed.
• BeforeHookCreation - any existing hook resource is deleted before the new one is created

Sync Waves

The waves allow to group sync execution of syncing process into batches when each batch is executed sequentially one after another. Hooks and resources are assigned to wave zero by default. The wave can be negative, so you can create a wave that runs before all other resources. The `argocd.argoproj.io/sync-wave` annotation assign resource to a wave:

metadata:
  annotations:
    argocd.argoproj.io/sync-wave: "5"

Sync Options

The sync options allows customizing the synchronization of selected resources. The options are specified using the annotation 'argocd.argoproj.io/sync-options'. Following sync options are supported:

- SkipDryRunOnMissingResource=true - disables dry run in resource is missing in the cluster - Prune=false - disables resource pruning - Validate=false - disables resource validation (equivalent to 'kubectl apply --validate=false')

How Does It Work Together?

Syncing process orders the resources in the following precedence:

- The phase - The wave they are in (lower values first) - By kind (e.g. namespaces first) - By name

It then determines which the number of the next wave to apply. This is the first number where any resource is out-of-sync or unhealthy. It applies resources in that wave. It repeats this process until all phases and waves are in in-sync and healthy.

Functions

func FormatStatefulSetError

func FormatStatefulSetError(err error, targetObj *unstructured.Unstructured, liveObj *unstructured.Unstructured) error

Types

type ReconciliationResult

type ReconciliationResult struct {
	Live   []*unstructured.Unstructured
	Target []*unstructured.Unstructured
	Hooks  []*unstructured.Unstructured
}

func Reconcile

func Reconcile(targetObjs []*unstructured.Unstructured, liveObjByKey map[kube.ResourceKey]*unstructured.Unstructured, namespace string, resInfo kubeutil.ResourceInfoProvider) ReconciliationResult

type SyncContext

type SyncContext interface {
	// Terminate terminates sync operation. The method is asynchronous: it starts deletion is related K8S resources
	// such as in-flight resource hooks, updates operation status, and exists without waiting for resource completion.
	Terminate()
	// Executes next synchronization step and updates operation status.
	Sync()
	// Returns current sync operation state and information about resources synchronized so far.
	GetState() (common.OperationPhase, string, []common.ResourceSyncResult)
}

SyncContext defines an interface that allows to execute sync operation step or terminate it.

func NewSyncContext
