Launching Apps Across Multiple Platforms

Spring Cloud Data Flow lets you orchestrate the launching of applications on different platforms from a single instance. A platform is a location where an application can be launched. For this document, a platform can be a Kubernetes cluster and namespace, a Cloud Foundry organization and space, or a physical server. The purpose of this document is to showcase a couple of ways to take advantage of deploying across multiple platforms.

Launching Tasks Across Multiple Kubernetes Name Spaces

The following image shows a common scenario for launching tasks across namespaces:

Launching Tasks Across Namespaces In this scenario, a Spring Cloud Data Flow is running in a Kubernetes cluster in the default namespace and the user wants to be able to launch tasks in both the default and the practice namespaces. For this exercise, we deploy Spring Cloud Data Flow by using SCDF's provided YAML files onto Minikube.

Configuring Spring Cloud Data Flow and Setting up the Environment

  1. Download the SCDF repository, as described in Deploying With kubectl. However, before continuing to the Choose a Message Broker section, we need to create the namespaces and add the platform configuration to Spring Cloud Data Flow.
  2. Create the practice namespace (default is already created for you) by running the following command:
kubectl create namespace practice
  1. Configure the platforms that Spring Cloud Data Flow uses. Us a text editor to open the <{>SCDF Dir>/src/kubernetes/server/server-deployment.yaml file and replace the SPRING_APPLICATION_JSON property with the following value:
- name: SPRING_APPLICATION_JSON
  value: '{ "maven": { "local-repository": null, "remote-repositories": { "repo1": { "url": "https://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot"} } },"spring.cloud.dataflow.task":{"platform.kubernetes.accounts":{"default":{"namespace" : "default"},"practice":{"namespace" : "practice"}}} }'
  1. Continue following the instructions, picking up at the Choose a Message Broker step, till all steps are completed.
  2. To let Spring Cloud Data Flow launch tasks across multiple namespaces, the RBAC policy for Spring Cloud Data Flow service needs to be updated. To do so, run the following command:
kubectl create clusterrolebinding scdftestrole --clusterrole cluster-admin --user=system:serviceaccount:default:scdf-sa

Setting the cluster role to cluster-admin for the scdf-sa user is not something that is recommended for production, but in this case it is meant for demo purposes.

Registering Pre-built Tasks

This exercise uses the pre-built timestamp application provided by Spring Cloud Data Flow. If you have not already registered your pre-built task applications:

  1. Bring up the Spring Cloud Data Flow UI in a browser.
  2. Click the Applications tab on the left side of the page.
  3. Click the ADD APPLICATION(S) button at the top of the page. Register Task Applications Button
  4. When the Add Applications(s) page appears, click the Import application starters from dataflow.spring.io. option. Bulk Import Applications
  5. Click the Task application starters for Docker radio button. Select Docker for Import
  6. Click the IMPORT APPLICATION(S) button on the bottom of the page.

Create Task Definitions

In this section, we create two task definitions: timestamp-task and timestamp-task-2. We launch each task definition on a specific platform.

To create the timestamp-task definition:

  1. Click the Tasks tab on the left side of the UI.
    Select Task Tab
  2. Click the CREATE TASK button on the page.
  3. Type timestamp in the text box.
  4. Click the CREATE TASK button. Create Timestamp Task
  5. When the Create Task dialog appears, type timestamp-task in the Name field.
  6. Click the CREATE THE TASK button. Name the New Task Definition

To create the timestamp-task-2 definition, follow the timestamp-task instructions shown earlier, except that, for the step when the Create Task dialog appears, the name is timestamp-task-2.

Now both task definitions are available, as shown below:
Task Definition List

Launching Tasks

In this section, we launch timestamp-task in the default platform and then launch timestamp-task-2 in the practice platform. To do so:

  1. Click the option control associated with the timestamp-task task definition and select the Launch option. Launch timestamp-task
  2. Now select the platform on which you want the timestamp-task to be launched -- in this case, the default namespace. Launch timestamp-task-platform-select
  3. Click the LAUNCH THE TASK button at the bottom of the page.

To verify that the pod executed, you can view the result in the task execution page or run the following kubectl command to view the pods in the default namespace:

kubectl get pods --namespace default
NAME                         READY   STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE
mysql-b94654bd4-k8vr7        1/1     Running     1          7h38m
rabbitmq-545bb5b7cb-dn5rd    1/1     Running     39         124d
scdf-server-dff599ff-68949   1/1     Running     0          8m27s
skipper-6b4d48ddc4-9p2x7     1/1     Running     0          12m
timestamp-task-v9jrm66p55    0/1     Completed   0          87s

To launch a task in the practice name space:

  1. Click the option control associated with the timestamp-task-2 task definition and select the Launch option. Launch timestamp-task
  2. Select the platform you want the timestamp-task to be launched -- in this case, the practice namespace. Launch timestamp-task-platform-select
  3. Click the LAUNCH THE TASK button at the bottom of the page.

To verify that the pod executed, you can view the result in the task execution page or run the following kubectl command to view the pods in the default namespace:

kubectl get pods --namespace practice
NAME                          READY   STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE
timestamp-task-2-nwvk4r89vy   0/1     Completed   0          59s

Scheduling Tasks

In this section, we create two schedules, each on a different platform. By using Spring Cloud Data Flow's shell, we create a schedule to launch the timestamp-task once a minute on the default platform. To do so:

  1. Schedule the task by running the following command from the Spring Cloud Data Flow shell:
task schedule create --name timestamp-task-sched --definitionName timestamp-task --expression "*/1 * * * *" --platform default

It looks something like this:

dataflow:>task schedule create --name timestamp-task-sched --definitionName timestamp-task --expression "*/1 * * * *" --platform default
Created schedule 'timestamp-task-sched'
  1. Verify that the schedule was created by running the task schedule list --platform default command:
dataflow:>task schedule list --platform default
╔════════════════════╤════════════════════╤════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║   Schedule Name    │Task Definition Name│                     Properties                     ║

║timestamp-task-sched│timestamp-task      │spring.cloud.scheduler.cron.expression = */1 * * * *║
╚════════════════════╧════════════════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
  1. To verify that the scheduled application was properly created and launched by the CronJob, you can view the result by running the following command task execution list from the SCDF shell: (Alternatively, you can run the following kubectl command and see the timestamp-task-sched pods start appearing after one minute.)
kubectl get pods --namespace default
NAME                                    READY   STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE

timestamp-task-sched-1591904880-p48cx   0/1     Completed   0          33s
  1. To delete the schedule, run the following command:
dataflow:>task schedule destroy --name timestamp-task-sched --platform default
Deleted task schedule 'timestamp-task-sched'

Using Spring Cloud Data Flow's shell, we create a schedule that launches the timestamp-task-2 once a minute on the practice platform.

  1. To schedule the task, run the following command from the Spring Cloud Data Flow shell:
task schedule create --name timestamp-task-2-sched --definitionName timestamp-task --expression "*/1 * * * *" --platform practice

It looks something like this:

dataflow:>task schedule create --name timestamp-task-2-sched --definitionName timestamp-task --expression "*/1 * * * *" --platform practice
Created schedule 'timestamp-task-2-sched'
  1. Verify that the schedule was created by running the task schedule list --platform practice command as shown below.
dataflow:>task schedule list --platform practice
╔══════════════════════╤════════════════════╤════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║    Schedule Name     │Task Definition Name│                     Properties                     ║

║timestamp-task-2-sched│timestamp-task-2    │spring.cloud.scheduler.cron.expression = */1 * * * *║
╚══════════════════════╧════════════════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
  1. You can verify the result by running the following command task execution list from the SCDF shell. Alternatively, you can launch the kubectl command with the following command and view the result:
glennrenfro ~/scripts: kubectl get pods --namespace practice
NAME                                      READY   STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE
timestamp-task-2-sched-1591905600-rnfks   0/1     Completed   0          17s
  1. To delete the schedule, run the following command:
dataflow:>task schedule destroy --name timestamp-task-2-sched --platform practioce
Deleted task schedule 'timestamp-task-2-sched'

Launching Tasks Across Multiple Platforms from an External Spring Cloud Data Flow

Remote DB & SCDF

In this scenario, a Spring Cloud Data Flow and its data store are running outside the Kubernetes cluster, and the user wants to be able to launch tasks in both the default and practice namespaces while being able to monitor the task execution from SCDF.

Configuring Spring Cloud Data Flow

For this exercise, you need to have access to a shell. Set the following environment properties for Spring Cloud Data Flow and launch it:

export spring_datasource_url=<your database url>
export spring_datasource_username=<your username>
export spring_datasource_password=<your password>
export spring_datasource_driverClassName=<your driverClassName>
export spring_profiles_active=cloud
export jbp_config_spring_auto_reconfiguration='{enabled: false}'
export spring_cloud_dataflow_features_schedulesEnabled=true
export spring_cloud_dataflow_features_tasks_enabled=true
export SPRING_APPLICATION_JSON="{\"spring.cloud.dataflow.task\":{\"platform.local.accounts\":{\"default\":{\"timeout\" : \"60\"}},\"platform.kubernetes.accounts\":{\"kzone\":{\"namespace\" : \"default\"},\"practice\":{\"namespace\" : \"practice\"}}}}"

java -jar spring-cloud-dataflow-server/target/spring-cloud-dataflow-server-<version>.jar

Configuring Database Service in Kubernetes to Connect to an External Database

The tasks that are launched in this exercise need to have access to a database service that connects to the external database that is being used by SCDF. To do this, we create a database service along with an endpoint that refers to the external database. For this example, we connect to a MySql database.

  1. Set up the database service:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: mysql-mac
spec:
  ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 1443
      targetPort: 3306
  1. Set up an endpoint to your local MySql:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Endpoints
metadata:
  name: mysql-mac
subsets:
  - addresses:
      - ip: 192.168.1.72
    ports:
      - port: 3306
  1. Now, obtain the cluster ip for the newly created mysql-mac service so that you can use it to launch and schedule tasks. To do so, run the following command (in this case a MySql instance running on your local machine):
kubectl get svc mysql-mac

The result of this command looks something like:

NAME        TYPE        CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)    AGE
mysql-mac   ClusterIP   <ext db conn>   <none>        1443/TCP   44m

Registering Applications

To register the applications needed for the exercise, follow the instructions in this section.

Launching Tasks

Add the following command-line argument when launching the task (replace <ext db conn> with the CLUSTER-IP provided by the kubectl get svc mysql-mac):

--spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://<ext db conn>:1443/<your db>

It should look something like the following image: Timestamp-task launch

To verify that the task was launched, select the Task executions tab on the left side of the page to see results that look like the following image: timestamp-task execution

Also, you can verify the launch by viewing the pod list for the default namespace:

kubectl get pods --namespace default
NAME                          READY   STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE
timestamp-task-kzkpqjp936     0/1     Completed   0          38s

Add the following command-line argument when launching the task:

--spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://<ext db conn>:1443/<your db>

It should look something like the following image: Timestamp-task launch

To verify that the task was launched, select the Task executions tab on the left side of the page to see results that look like the following image: timestamp-task execution

Also, you can verify the launch by viewing the pod list for the practice namespace, as the following example shows:

kubectl get pods --namespace practice
NAME                          READY   STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE
timestamp-task-2-pkwzevl0mp   0/1     Completed   0          48s

Scheduling Tasks

In this section, we create two schedules, each on a different platform. By using Spring Cloud Data Flow's shell, we create a schedule that launches the timestamp-task once a minute on the default platform.

  1. To schedule the task, run the following command from the Spring Cloud Data Flow shell:
task schedule create --name timestamp-task-sched --definitionName timestamp-task --expression "*/1 * * * *" --platform default --properties "app.docker-timestamp.spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://<ext db conn>:1443/<your db>"

It looks something like this:

dataflow:>task schedule create --name timestamp-task-sched --definitionName timestamp-task --expression "*/1 * * * *" --platform default --properties "app.docker-timestamp.spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://10.100.231.80:1443/task"
Created schedule 'timestamp-task-sched'
  1. To verify that the schedule was created, run the task schedule list --platform default command and view the result:
dataflow:>task schedule list --platform default
╔════════════════════╤════════════════════╤════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

timestamp-task-sched-1592229780-f5w6w   0/1     Completed   0          15s
  1. To delete the schedule, run the following command:
dataflow:>task schedule destroy --name timestamp-task-sched --platform default
Deleted task schedule 'timestamp-task-sched'

By using Spring Cloud Data Flow's shell, we create a schedule that launches the timestamp-task-2 once a minute on the practice platform.

  1. To schedule the task, run the following command from the Spring Cloud Data Flow shell:
task schedule create --name timestamp-task-2-sched --definitionName timestamp-task --expression "*/1 * * * *" --platform practice --properties "app.docker-timestamp.spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://<ext db conn>:1443/<your db>"

It looks something like this:

  1. To delete the schedule, run the following command:
dataflow:>task schedule destroy --name timestamp-task-2-sched --platform practice
Deleted task schedule 'timestamp-task-2-sched'

Launching Tasks on Different Types of Platforms

Remote DB & SCDF In this scenario, Spring Cloud Data Flow is running outside of Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry and you want to launch tasks on both platforms.

Configuring Spring Cloud Data Flow

For this exercise, you need access to a shell. Set the following environment properties for Spring Cloud Data Flow and launch it:

export spring_datasource_url=<your database url>
export spring_datasource_username=<your username>
export spring_datasource_password=<your password>
export spring_datasource_driverClassName=<your database driverClassNanme>
export spring_profiles_active=cloud
export jbp_config_spring_auto_reconfiguration='{enabled: false}'
export spring_cloud_dataflow_features_schedulesEnabled=true
export spring_cloud_dataflow_features_tasks_enabled=true

k8-timestamp-rpqw00d175     0/1     Completed   0          39s

Scheduling Tasks

In this section, we create two schedules, each on a different platform. By using Spring Cloud Data Flow's shell, we create a schedule that launches the cf-timestamp task definition once a minute on the cfzone Cloud Foundry platform and a k8-timestamp task definition on the default namespace of a minikube.

  1. Create the schedule for the Cloud Foundry platform:
task schedule create --name timestamp-task-cf-sched --definitionName cf-timestamp --expression "*/1 * ? * *"  --platform cfzone --properties "app.maven-timestamp.spring.datasource.url=<your database url>"
  1. Verify that the schedule was created, run thetask schedule list --platform cfzone command and view the result:
task schedule list --platform cfzone
