# Istio Canary Deployments
|
|
|
|
This guide shows you how to use Istio and Flagger to automate canary deployments.
|
|
|
|
### Bootstrap
|
|
|
|
Create a test namespace with Istio sidecar injection enabled:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export REPO=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weaveworks/flagger/master
|
|
|
|
kubectl apply -f ${REPO}/artifacts/namespaces/test.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a deployment and a horizontal pod autoscaler:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl apply -f ${REPO}/artifacts/canaries/deployment.yaml
|
|
kubectl apply -f ${REPO}/artifacts/canaries/hpa.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Deploy the load testing service to generate traffic during the canary analysis:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl -n test apply -f ${REPO}/artifacts/loadtester/deployment.yaml
|
|
kubectl -n test apply -f ${REPO}/artifacts/loadtester/service.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a canary custom resource (replace example.com with your own domain):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
apiVersion: flagger.app/v1alpha3
|
|
kind: Canary
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: podinfo
|
|
namespace: test
|
|
spec:
|
|
# deployment reference
|
|
targetRef:
|
|
apiVersion: apps/v1
|
|
kind: Deployment
|
|
name: podinfo
|
|
# the maximum time in seconds for the canary deployment
|
|
# to make progress before it is rollback (default 600s)
|
|
progressDeadlineSeconds: 60
|
|
# HPA reference (optional)
|
|
autoscalerRef:
|
|
apiVersion: autoscaling/v2beta1
|
|
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
|
|
name: podinfo
|
|
service:
|
|
# container port
|
|
port: 9898
|
|
# Istio gateways (optional)
|
|
gateways:
|
|
- public-gateway.istio-system.svc.cluster.local
|
|
# Istio virtual service host names (optional)
|
|
hosts:
|
|
- app.example.com
|
|
canaryAnalysis:
|
|
# schedule interval (default 60s)
|
|
interval: 1m
|
|
# max number of failed metric checks before rollback
|
|
threshold: 5
|
|
# max traffic percentage routed to canary
|
|
# percentage (0-100)
|
|
maxWeight: 50
|
|
# canary increment step
|
|
# percentage (0-100)
|
|
stepWeight: 10
|
|
metrics:
|
|
- name: request-success-rate
|
|
# minimum req success rate (non 5xx responses)
|
|
# percentage (0-100)
|
|
threshold: 99
|
|
interval: 1m
|
|
- name: request-duration
|
|
# maximum req duration P99
|
|
# milliseconds
|
|
threshold: 500
|
|
interval: 30s
|
|
# generate traffic during analysis
|
|
webhooks:
|
|
- name: load-test
|
|
url: http://flagger-loadtester.test/
|
|
timeout: 5s
|
|
metadata:
|
|
cmd: "hey -z 1m -q 10 -c 2 http://podinfo-canary.test:9898/"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Save the above resource as podinfo-canary.yaml and then apply it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl apply -f ./podinfo-canary.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After a couple of seconds Flagger will create the canary objects:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# applied
|
|
deployment.apps/podinfo
|
|
horizontalpodautoscaler.autoscaling/podinfo
|
|
canary.flagger.app/podinfo
|
|
|
|
# generated
|
|
deployment.apps/podinfo-primary
|
|
horizontalpodautoscaler.autoscaling/podinfo-primary
|
|
service/podinfo
|
|
service/podinfo-canary
|
|
service/podinfo-primary
|
|
destinationrule.networking.istio.io/podinfo-canary
|
|
destinationrule.networking.istio.io/podinfo-primary
|
|
virtualservice.networking.istio.io/podinfo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Automated canary promotion
|
|
|
|
Trigger a canary deployment by updating the container image:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl -n test set image deployment/podinfo \
|
|
podinfod=quay.io/stefanprodan/podinfo:1.4.1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Flagger detects that the deployment revision changed and starts a new rollout:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
kubectl -n test describe canary/podinfo
|
|
|
|
Status:
|
|
Canary Weight: 0
|
|
Failed Checks: 0
|
|
Phase: Succeeded
|
|
Events:
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
Normal Synced 5s flagger Promotion completed! Scaling down podinfo.test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note** that if you apply new changes to the deployment during the canary analysis, Flagger will restart the analysis.
|
|
|
|
You can monitor all canaries with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
watch kubectl get canaries --all-namespaces
|
|
|
|
NAMESPACE NAME STATUS WEIGHT LASTTRANSITIONTIME
|
|
test podinfo Progressing 15 2019-01-16T14:05:07Z
|
|
prod frontend Succeeded 0 2019-01-15T16:15:07Z
|
|
prod backend Failed 0 2019-01-14T17:05:07Z
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Automated rollback
|
|
|
|
During the canary analysis you can generate HTTP 500 errors and high latency to test if Flagger pauses the rollout.
|
|
|
|
Create a tester pod and exec into it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl -n test run tester \
|
|
--image=quay.io/stefanprodan/podinfo:1.2.1 \
|
|
-- ./podinfo --port=9898
|
|
|
|
kubectl -n test exec -it tester-xx-xx sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Generate HTTP 500 errors:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
watch curl http://podinfo-canary:9898/status/500
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Generate latency:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
watch curl http://podinfo-canary:9898/delay/1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When the number of failed checks reaches the canary analysis threshold, the traffic is routed back to the primary,
|
|
the canary is scaled to zero and the rollout is marked as failed.
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
kubectl -n test describe canary/podinfo
|
|
|
|
Status:
|
|
Canary Weight: 0
|
|
