SAP Converged Charts

This repository contains Helm charts required by SAP Converged Cloud.

Structure

Charts are grouped logically into:

  • common: Reusable charts
  • global: Singletons that only exist once in a global context
  • openstack: Openstack and dependent or related services
  • prometheus-exporters: A curated collection of Prometheus exporters
  • prometheus-rules: Prometheus alert- & aggregation rules specific to our controlplane
  • system: Infrastructure required by the control plane

This structure is just a logical grouping, it does not represent deployable units or imply other semantics.

Charts

On the second level we expect a chart. This can be a single chart or a meta-chart that describe a dependent set of compononents. Meta-charts contain sub-charts or reference charts from other repositories using Helm dependencies.

We imply that the highest chart will be deployed as a Helm release. In this example, releasing dns will install/update bind and unbound.

In order to be able to relate charts to running Kubernetes pods, we also imply that a chart will be deployed in a namespace with the same name.

$ kubectl get pods --all-namespaces                                                                                                                 0 ↵

This has the benefits that:

  • Values required for releasing a chart can be found at the same place in cc/regions
  • Cleanup of a failed release, is as easy as deleting the namespace.
  • For testing a chart can deployed in a seperate testing namespace.
  • Pods and other Kubernetes primitives are reflected at a known place in Kubernetes

Test a Chart

Opening a PR to this repository triggers the Helm chart tests which are described in detail here.

Install/Update of a Chart/Release

Per convention we use the name of the meta-chart as namespace and name of the release. Values are pulled in from a secret repository.

helm upgrade dns ./system/dns --namespace dns --values ../secrets/staging/system/dns.yaml --install
