Chris Curwick 3bacc1f54b Add Azure Monitor Workspace metrics provider
Add an `azuremonitor` metric template provider that queries the managed
Prometheus endpoint of an Azure Monitor Workspace, removing the need to
front the workspace with an aad-auth-proxy sidecar.

The provider embeds the Prometheus provider and only takes care of
authentication. It resolves a Microsoft Entra ID token before each query
and hands it to the Prometheus provider as a bearer token, so query
handling, headers and error reporting stay unchanged.

The identity is taken from the keys present in the referenced secret. A
clientId and tenantId pair selects a workload identity, adding a
clientSecret selects a service principal, and an absent secret falls back
to the workload identity of the Flagger pod. The Azure cloud and the
token audience are derived from the workspace host name, so no new
provider fields or controller flags are needed.

The address is required to be an HTTPS Azure Monitor Workspace query
endpoint and insecureSkipVerify is rejected, so that the token is only
ever sent to a verified workspace host.

Flagger Kustomize installer

As an alternative to Helm, Flagger can be installed with Kustomize.

Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes cluster >=1.13.0
  • Kustomize >=3.6.0

Service mesh specific installers

Install Flagger for Istio:

kustomize build https://github.com/fluxcd/flagger/kustomize/istio?ref=main | kubectl apply -f -

This deploys Flagger in the istio-system namespace and sets the metrics server URL to Istio's Prometheus instance.

Install Flagger for AWS App Mesh:

kustomize build https://github.com/fluxcd/flagger/kustomize/appmesh?ref=main | kubectl apply -f -

This deploys Flagger in the appmesh-system namespace and sets the metrics server URL to App Mesh Prometheus instance.

Install Flagger for Linkerd:

kustomize build https://github.com/fluxcd/flagger/kustomize/linkerd?ref=main | kubectl apply -f -

This deploys Flagger in the linkerd namespace and sets the metrics server URL to linkerd-viz extension's Prometheus instance which lives under linkerd-viz namespace by default.

If you want to install a specific Flagger release, add the version number to the URL:

kustomize build https://github.com/fluxcd/flagger/kustomize/linkerd?ref=v1.0.0 | kubectl apply -f -

Install Flagger for Contour:

kustomize build https://github.com/fluxcd/flagger/kustomize/contour?ref=main | kubectl apply -f -

This deploys Flagger and Prometheus in the projectcontour namespace and sets Prometheus to scrape Contour's Envoy instances.

Generic installer

Install Flagger and Prometheus:

kustomize build https://github.com/fluxcd/flagger/kustomize/kubernetes?ref=main | kubectl apply -f -

This deploys Flagger and Prometheus in the flagger-system namespace, sets the metrics server URL to http://flagger-prometheus.flagger-system:9090 and the mesh provider to kubernetes.

To target a different provider you can specify it in the canary custom resource:

apiVersion: flagger.app/v1alpha3
kind: Canary
metadata:
  name: app
  namespace: test
spec:
  # can be: kubernetes, istio, linkerd, appmesh, nginx, skipper, gloo
  # use the kubernetes provider for Blue/Green style deployments
  provider: nginx

You'll need Prometheus when using Flagger with AWS App Mesh, Gloo, NGINX or Skipper ingress controller. The Prometheus instance has a two hours data retention and is configured to scrape all pods in your cluster that have the prometheus.io/scrape: "true" annotation.

Customise the installation

Create a kustomization file using Flagger as base and patch the container args:

cat > kustomization.yaml <<EOF
namespace: istio-system
bases:
  - github.com/fluxcd/flagger/kustomize/base/flagger
patches:
- target:
    kind: Deployment
    name: flagger
  patch: |-
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: flagger
    spec:
      template:
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: flagger
            args:
              - -mesh-provider=istio
              - -metrics-server=http://prometheus.istio-system:9090
              - -slack-user=flagger
              - -slack-channel=alerts
              - -slack-url=https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR/SLACK/WEBHOOK
EOF

Install Flagger for Istio with Slack notifications:

kustomize build . | kubectl apply -f -
