cluster-svcat-controller-manager-operator

The cluster-svcat-controller-manager-operator installs and maintains a singleton instance of the OpenShift Service Catalog on a cluster. Service Catalog is actually comprised of an aggregated API server and a controller manager; this operator only deals with the Controller Manager portion of Service Catalog. See the cluster-svcat-apiserver-operator for the operator responsible for the API Server component of Service Catalog.

It should be noted this repo was initially copied from the OpenShift Controller Manager Operator (https://github.com/openshift/cluster-openshift-controller-manager-operator) and we generally try to keep it in sync with fixes and updates that are applicable.

The Cluster Version Operator installs cluster operators by collecting the files within each cluster operator's manifest directory, bundling them into a release payload, and then oc applying them. Note that unlike most cluster operators, this operator's configuration specifies that the initial management state of the Operator is Removed. That is, the cluster operator is installed and running, but the operand is not.

This operator is installed to the openshift-service-catalog-controller-manager-operator namespace. It installs the Service Catalog Controller Manager into the openshift-service-catalog-controller-manager namespace. In prior versions, both the Service Catalog API Server and Controller Manager were installed to kube-service-catalog. This change keeps with how the OpenShift API Server & Controller Manager are managed and makes some aspects of servicability easier.

Installing Service Catalog

To enable and install Service Catalog, the cluster admin must modify two Service Catalog custom resources and change the ManagementState to Managed.

$ oc edit ServiceCatalogAPIServer

locate the managementState and change Removed to Managed. Repeat for the controller-manager:

$ oc edit ServiceCatalogControllerManager

note the first resource is actually from the cluster-svcat-apiserver-operator. The controller-manager operator will see the change in the desired state and create necessary resources in the openshift-service-catalog-controller-manager namespace for deploying the Service Catalog Controller Manager.

Verification & debugging

Review the cluster operator status, it should report Available if it is in the desired state. Although a bit contrary to the notion of "available", it should be pointed out that when the managementState is Removed and Service Catalog is not installed, the operator should be reporting Available=true because it is in the desired state.

$ oc get clusteroperators service-catalog-controller-manager
NAME                        VERSION                        AVAILABLE   PROGRESSING   DEGRADED   SINCE
service-catalog-controller-manager   4.1.0-0.ci-2019-05-01-061138   True        False         False      3m57s

View the operator pod logs:

$ oc logs deployment/openshift-service-catalog-controller-manager-operator -n openshift-service-catalog-controller-manager-operator

The events present a good summary of actions the operator has taken to reach the desired state:

$ oc get events --sort-by='.lastTimestamp'  -n openshift-service-catalog-controller-manager-operator

If the state is Managed the operator will install Service Catalog API Server. You can request the Service Catalog deployment to be removed by setting the state to Removed.

Hacking with your own Operator or Operand

You can make changes to the operator and deploy it to your cluster. First you disable the CVO so it doesn't overwrite your changes from what is in the release payload:

$ oc scale --replicas 0 -n openshift-cluster-version deployments/cluster-version-operator

this is a big hammer, you could instead just tell the CVO your operator should be unmanged, see Setting Objects unmanaged

Build and push your newly built image to a repo:

$ make image
$ docker tag openshift/origin-cluster-svcat-controller-manager-operator:latest jboyd01/origin-cluster-svcat-controller-manager-operator:xx
$ docker push jboyd01/origin-cluster-svcat-controller-manager-operator:xx

and then update the manifest to specify your operator image:

$ oc edit deployment -n openshift-service-catalog-controller-manager-operator

locate the image and change the image and pull policy:

        image: registry.svc.ci.openshift.org/ocp/4.1-2019-05-01-061138@sha256:de5e1c8a2605f75b71705a933c31f4dff3ff1ae860d7a86d771dbe2043a4cea0
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent

to

        image: docker.io/jboyd01/origin-cluster-svcat-controller-manager-operator:xx
        imagePullPolicy: Always

This will cause your dev operator image to be pulled down and deployed. When you want to deploy a newly built image just scale your operator to zero and right back to one:

$ oc scale --replicas 0 -n openshift-service-catalog-controller-manager-operator deployments/openshift-service-catalog-controller-manager-operator
$ oc scale --replicas 1 -n openshift-service-catalog-controller-manager-operator deployments/openshift-service-catalog-controller-manager-operator

If you want your own Service Catalog API Server to be deployed you follow a simlar process but instead update the deployment's IMAGE environment variable:

        env:
        - name: IMAGE
          value: registry.svc.ci.openshift.org/ocp/4.1-2019-05-01-061138@sha256:cc22f2af68a261c938fb1ec9a9e94643eba23a3bb8c9e22652139f80ee57681b

and change the value to your own repo, something like

        env:
        - name: IMAGE
          value: docker.io/jboyd01/service-catalog:latest

Read about the CVO if you haven't yet

Consider this required reading - its vital to understanding how the operator should work and why:

Other development notes

If you make changes to the yaml resources under bindata you must run the script hack/update-generated-bindata.sh to update the go source files which are responsible for creating the Service Catalog operand deployment resources.

When picking up new versions of dependencies, use the script hack/update-deps.sh. Generally you want to mirror the glide.yaml and dependency updates driven from the OpenShift controller-manager operator.
