Overview
Channel controller sync and promote resources from the target source to a channel namespace on your hub cluster or to a host(such as object bucket). Then your subscription can consume these resources from the channel directly.
Quick Start
Keep in mind, if you were using this operator before, you might need to migrate your resource api-group and version from app.ibm.com/v1alpha1 to apps.open-cluster-management.io/v1. Example can be found under the examples folder.
For a quick start, we are going to create a namespace channel, meaning you can put the resouce to a namespace, which is watching by our channel operator, then the operator will promote this resoucre to the channel namespace, which should be the namesapce the channel operator sits.
The following example is tested on a minikube, so that you can play with this operator with out worrying too much extra stuff, such as secrity for a real cluster.
Setting up a channel to sync resourcese between your hub cluster and a object bucket
- Clone the channel operator repository
% mkdir -p "$GOPATH"/src/github.com/open-cluster-management
% cd "$GOPATH"/src/github.com/open-cluster-management
% git clone https://github.com/open-cluster-management/multicloud-operators-channel.git
% cd "$GOPATH"/src/github.com/open-cluster-management/multicloud-operators-channel
- Setup environment and deploy channel operator
# apply all the necessary CRDs
% kubectl apply -f ./deploy/crds
% kubectl apply -f ./deploy/dependent-crds
# deploy the channel controller to your cluster via a deployment, also grant access to the controller
% kubectl apply -f ./deploy/standalone
- Create a Channel and deploy the payload(the resource you want channel operator to help you move/promote around)
# a simple namespace type channel example
% kubectl apply -f ./examples/channel-alone
As a result, a config map wrapped by deployable, at default namespace. At the meantime, it will also deploy a channel resource at the ch-ns namespace.
% kubectl get deployables.apps.open-cluster-management.io
NAME TEMPLATE-KIND TEMPLATE-APIVERSION AGE STATUS
payload-cfg-namespace-channel ConfigMap v1 9s
% kubectl get channel -n ch-ns
NAME TYPE PATHNAME AGE
ns Namespace ch-ns 20s
Resouces got moved to it destination, and subscription can take over from here, deploying this resource(it will be the configmap deployed) to your managed cluster.
% kubectl get deployables.apps.open-cluster-management.io -n ch-ns
NAME TEMPLATE-KIND TEMPLATE-APIVERSION AGE STATUS
payload-cfg-namespace-channel-gt47s ConfigMap v1 37s
Trouble shooting
- Check operator availability
% kubectl get deploy,pods
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
deployment.apps/multicloud-operators-channel 1/1 1 1 2m1s
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
pod/multicloud-operators-channel-7cbd9fbd55-kjkpc 1/1 Running 0 2m
- Check Channel and its status
% kubectl describe channel ns -n ch-ns

Normally, we care the reconcile trace. For each flow, it should at least have a valid reconcile log for the deployable.
