Chapter 16. Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager for cluster updates
Chapter 16. Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager for cluster updates You can use the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) to manage the software lifecycle of multiple single-node OpenShift clusters. TALM uses Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM) policies to perform changes on the target clusters. Important Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope . 16.1. About the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager configuration The Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) manages the deployment of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM) policies for one or more OpenShift Container Platform clusters. Using TALM in a large network of clusters allows the phased rollout of policies to the clusters in limited batches. This helps to minimize possible service disruptions when updating. With TALM, you can control the following actions: The timing of the update The number of RHACM-managed clusters The subset of managed clusters to apply the policies to The update order of the clusters The set of policies remediated to the cluster The order of policies remediated to the cluster TALM supports the orchestration of the OpenShift Container Platform y-stream and z-stream updates, and day-two operations on y-streams and z-streams. 16.2. About managed policies used with Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager The Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) uses RHACM policies for cluster updates. TALM can be used to manage the rollout of any policy CR where the remediationAction field is set to inform . Supported use cases include the following: Manual user creation of policy CRs Automatically generated policies from the PolicyGenTemplate custom resource definition (CRD) For policies that update an Operator subscription with manual approval, TALM provides additional functionality that approves the installation of the updated Operator. For more information about managed policies, see Policy Overview in the RHACM documentation. For more information about the PolicyGenTemplate CRD, see the "About the PolicyGenTemplate CRD" section in "Configuring managed clusters with policies and PolicyGenTemplate resources". 16.3. Installing the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager by using the web console You can use the OpenShift Container Platform web console to install the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager. Prerequisites Install the latest version of the RHACM Operator. Set up a hub cluster with disconnected regitry. Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure In the OpenShift Container Platform web console, navigate to Operators OperatorHub . Search for the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager from the list of available Operators, and then click Install . Keep the default selection of Installation mode ["All namespaces on the cluster (default)"] and Installed Namespace ("openshift-operators") to ensure that the Operator is installed properly. Click Install . Verification To confirm that the installation is successful: Navigate to the Operators Installed Operators page. Check that the Operator is installed in the All Namespaces namespace and its status is Succeeded . If the Operator is not installed successfully: Navigate to the Operators Installed Operators page and inspect the Status column for any errors or failures. Navigate to the Workloads Pods page and check the logs in any containers in the cluster-group-upgrades-controller-manager pod that are reporting issues. 16.4. Installing the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager by using the CLI You can use the OpenShift CLI ( oc ) to install the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM). Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Install the latest version of the RHACM Operator. Set up a hub cluster with disconnected registry. Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create a Subscription CR: Define the Subscription CR and save the YAML file, for example, talm-subscription.yaml : apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1 kind: Subscription metadata: name: openshift-topology-aware-lifecycle-manager-subscription namespace: openshift-operators spec: channel: "stable" name: topology-aware-lifecycle-manager source: redhat-operators sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace Create the Subscription CR by running the following command: USD oc create -f talm-subscription.yaml Verification Verify that the installation succeeded by inspecting the CSV resource: USD oc get csv -n openshift-operators Example output NAME DISPLAY VERSION REPLACES PHASE topology-aware-lifecycle-manager.4.10.0-202206301927 Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager 4.10.0-202206301927 Succeeded Verify that the TALM is up and running: USD oc get deploy -n openshift-operators Example output NAMESPACE NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE openshift-operators cluster-group-upgrades-controller-manager 1/1 1 1 14s 16.5. About the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR The Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) builds the remediation plan from the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR for a group of clusters. You can define the following specifications in a ClusterGroupUpgrade CR: Clusters in the group Blocking ClusterGroupUpgrade CRs Applicable list of managed policies Number of concurrent updates Applicable canary updates Actions to perform before and after the update Update timing As TALM works through remediation of the policies to the specified clusters, the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR can have the following states: UpgradeNotStarted UpgradeCannotStart UpgradeNotComplete UpgradeTimedOut UpgradeCompleted PrecachingRequired Note After TALM completes a cluster update, the cluster does not update again under the control of the same ClusterGroupUpgrade CR. You must create a new ClusterGroupUpgrade CR in the following cases: When you need to update the cluster again When the cluster changes to non-compliant with the inform policy after being updated 16.5.1. The UpgradeNotStarted state The initial state of the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR is UpgradeNotStarted . TALM builds a remediation plan based on the following fields: The clusterSelector field specifies the labels of the clusters that you want to update. The clusters field specifies a list of clusters to update. The canaries field specifies the clusters for canary updates. The maxConcurrency field specifies the number of clusters to update in a batch. You can use the clusters and the clusterSelector fields together to create a combined list of clusters. The remediation plan starts with the clusters listed in the canaries field. Each canary cluster forms a single-cluster batch. Note Any failures during the update of a canary cluster stops the update process. The ClusterGroupUpgrade CR transitions to the UpgradeNotCompleted state after the remediation plan is successfully created and after the enable field is set to true . At this point, TALM starts to update the non-compliant clusters with the specified managed policies. Note You can only make changes to the spec fields if the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR is either in the UpgradeNotStarted or the UpgradeCannotStart state. Sample ClusterGroupUpgrade CR in the UpgradeNotStarted state apiVersion: ran.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: ClusterGroupUpgrade metadata: name: cgu-upgrade-complete namespace: default spec: clusters: 1 - spoke1 enable: false managedPolicies: 2 - policy1-common-cluster-version-policy - policy2-common-pao-sub-policy remediationStrategy: 3 canaries: 4 - spoke1 maxConcurrency: 1 5 timeout: 240 status: 6 conditions: - message: The ClusterGroupUpgrade CR is not enabled reason: UpgradeNotStarted status: "False" type: Ready copiedPolicies: - cgu-upgrade-complete-policy1-common-cluster-version-policy - cgu-upgrade-complete-policy2-common-pao-sub-policy managedPoliciesForUpgrade: - name: policy1-common-cluster-version-policy namespace: default - name: policy2-common-pao-sub-policy namespace: default placementBindings: - cgu-upgrade-complete-policy1-common-cluster-version-policy - cgu-upgrade-complete-policy2-common-pao-sub-policy placementRules: - cgu-upgrade-complete-policy1-common-cluster-version-policy - cgu-upgrade-complete-policy2-common-pao-sub-policy remediationPlan: - - spoke1 1 Defines the list of clusters to update. 2 Lists the user-defined set of policies to remediate. 3 Defines the specifics of the cluster updates. 4 Defines the clusters for canary updates. 5 Defines the maximum number of concurrent updates in a batch. The number of remediation batches is the number of canary clusters, plus the number of clusters, except the canary clusters, divided by the maxConcurrency value. The clusters that are already compliant with all the managed policies are excluded from the remediation plan. 6 Displays information about the status of the updates. 16.5.2. The UpgradeCannotStart state In the UpgradeCannotStart state, the update cannot start because of the following reasons: Blocking CRs are missing from the system Blocking CRs have not yet finished 16.5.3. The UpgradeNotCompleted state In the UpgradeNotCompleted state, TALM enforces the policies following the remediation plan defined in the UpgradeNotStarted state. Enforcing the policies for subsequent batches starts immediately after all the clusters of the current batch are compliant with all the managed policies. If the batch times out, TALM moves on to the batch. The timeout value of a batch is the spec.timeout field divided by the number of batches in the remediation plan. Note The managed policies apply in the order that they are listed in the managedPolicies field in the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR. One managed policy is applied to the specified clusters at a time. After the specified clusters comply with the current policy, the managed policy is applied to the non-compliant cluster. Sample ClusterGroupUpgrade CR in the UpgradeNotCompleted state apiVersion: ran.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: ClusterGroupUpgrade metadata: name: cgu-upgrade-complete namespace: default spec: clusters: - spoke1 enable: true 1 managedPolicies: - policy1-common-cluster-version-policy - policy2-common-pao-sub-policy remediationStrategy: maxConcurrency: 1 timeout: 240 status: 2 conditions: - message: The ClusterGroupUpgrade CR has upgrade policies that are still non compliant reason: UpgradeNotCompleted status: "False" type: Ready copiedPolicies: - cgu-upgrade-complete-policy1-common-cluster-version-policy - cgu-upgrade-complete-policy2-common-pao-sub-policy managedPoliciesForUpgrade: - name: policy1-common-cluster-version-policy namespace: default - name: policy2-common-pao-sub-policy namespace: default placementBindings: - cgu-upgrade-complete-policy1-common-cluster-version-policy - cgu-upgrade-complete-policy2-common-pao-sub-policy placementRules: - cgu-upgrade-complete-policy1-common-cluster-version-policy - cgu-upgrade-complete-policy2-common-pao-sub-policy remediationPlan: - - spoke1 status: currentBatch: 1 remediationPlanForBatch: 3 spoke1: 0 1 The update starts when the value of the spec.enable field is true . 2 The status fields change accordingly when the update begins. 3 Lists the clusters in the batch and the index of the policy that is being currently applied to each cluster. The index of the policies starts with 0 and the index follows the order of the status.managedPoliciesForUpgrade list. 16.5.4. The UpgradeTimedOut state In the UpgradeTimedOut state, TALM checks every hour if all the policies for the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR are compliant. The checks continue until the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR is deleted or the updates are completed. The periodic checks allow the updates to complete if they get prolonged due to network, CPU, or other issues. TALM transitions to the UpgradeTimedOut state in two cases: When the current batch contains canary updates and the cluster in the batch does not comply with all the managed policies within the batch timeout. When the clusters do not comply with the managed policies within the timeout value specified in the remediationStrategy field. If the policies are compliant, TALM transitions to the UpgradeCompleted state. 16.5.5. The UpgradeCompleted state In the UpgradeCompleted state, the cluster updates are complete. Sample ClusterGroupUpgrade CR in the UpgradeCompleted state apiVersion: ran.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: ClusterGroupUpgrade metadata: name: cgu-upgrade-complete namespace: default spec: actions: afterCompletion: deleteObjects: true 1 clusters: - spoke1 enable: true managedPolicies: - policy1-common-cluster-version-policy - policy2-common-pao-sub-policy remediationStrategy: maxConcurrency: 1 timeout: 240 status: 2 conditions: - message: The ClusterGroupUpgrade CR has all clusters compliant with all the managed policies reason: UpgradeCompleted status: "True" type: Ready managedPoliciesForUpgrade: - name: policy1-common-cluster-version-policy namespace: default - name: policy2-common-pao-sub-policy namespace: default remediationPlan: - - spoke1 status: remediationPlanForBatch: spoke1: -2 3 1 The value of spec.action.afterCompletion.deleteObjects field is true by default. After the update is completed, TALM deletes the underlying RHACM objects that were created during the update. This option is to prevent the RHACM hub from continuously checking for compliance after a successful update. 2 The status fields show that the updates completed successfully. 3 Displays that all the policies are applied to the cluster. <discreet> <title>The PrecachingRequired state</title> In the PrecachingRequired state, the clusters need to have images pre-cached before the update can start. For more information about pre-caching, see the "Using the container image pre-cache feature" section. </discreet> 16.5.6. Blocking ClusterGroupUpgrade CRs You can create multiple ClusterGroupUpgrade CRs and control their order of application. For example, if you create ClusterGroupUpgrade CR C that blocks the start of ClusterGroupUpgrade CR A, then ClusterGroupUpgrade CR A cannot start until the status of ClusterGroupUpgrade CR C becomes UpgradeComplete . One ClusterGroupUpgrade CR can have multiple blocking CRs. In this case, all the blocking CRs must complete before the upgrade for the current CR can start. Prerequisites Install the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM). Provision one or more managed clusters. Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Create RHACM policies in the hub cluster. Procedure Save the content of the ClusterGroupUpgrade CRs in the cgu-a.yaml , cgu-b.yaml , and cgu-c.yaml files. apiVersion: ran.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: ClusterGroupUpgrade metadata: name: cgu-a namespace: default spec: blockingCRs: 1 - name: cgu-c namespace: default clusters: - spoke1 - spoke2 - spoke3 enable: false managedPolicies: - policy1-common-cluster-version-policy - policy2-common-pao-sub-policy - policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy remediationStrategy: canaries: - spoke1 maxConcurrency: 2 timeout: 240 status: conditions: - message: The ClusterGroupUpgrade CR is not enabled reason: UpgradeNotStarted status: "False" type: Ready copiedPolicies: - cgu-a-policy1-common-cluster-version-policy - cgu-a-policy2-common-pao-sub-policy - cgu-a-policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy managedPoliciesForUpgrade: - name: policy1-common-cluster-version-policy namespace: default - name: policy2-common-pao-sub-policy namespace: default - name: policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy namespace: default placementBindings: - cgu-a-policy1-common-cluster-version-policy - cgu-a-policy2-common-pao-sub-policy - cgu-a-policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy placementRules: - cgu-a-policy1-common-cluster-version-policy - cgu-a-policy2-common-pao-sub-policy - cgu-a-policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy remediationPlan: - - spoke1 - - spoke2 1 Defines the blocking CRs.

Update policies on managed clusters The Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) remediates a set of inform policies for the clusters specified in the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR. TALM remediates inform policies by making enforce copies of the managed RHACM policies. Each copied policy has its own corresponding RHACM placement rule and RHACM placement binding. One by one, TALM adds each cluster from the current batch to the placement rule that corresponds with the applicable managed policy. If a cluster is already compliant with a policy, TALM skips applying that policy on the compliant cluster. TALM then moves on to applying the policy to the non-compliant cluster. After TALM completes the updates in a batch, all clusters are removed from the placement rules associated with the copied policies. Then, the update of the batch starts. If a spoke cluster does not report any compliant state to RHACM, the managed policies on the hub cluster can be missing status information that TALM needs. TALM handles these cases in the following ways: If a policy's status.compliant field is missing, TALM ignores the policy and adds a log entry. Then, TALM continues looking at the policy's status.status field. If a policy's status.status is missing, TALM produces an error. If a cluster's compliance status is missing in the policy's status.status field, TALM considers that cluster to be non-compliant with that policy. For more information about RHACM policies, see Policy overview . Additional resources For more information about the PolicyGenTemplate CRD, see About the PolicyGenTemplate CRD . 16.6.1. Applying update policies to managed clusters You can update your managed clusters by applying your policies. Prerequisites Install the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM).

Note When TALM is remediating a policy containing a subscription, it automatically approves any install plans attached to that subscription. Where multiple install plans are needed to get the operator to the latest known version, TALM might approve multiple install plans, upgrading through one or more intermediate versions to get to the final version. Check if the cluster service version for the Operator of the policy that the ClusterGroupUpgrade is installing reached the Succeeded phase by running the following command: USD oc get csv -n <operator_namespace> Example output for OpenShift Logging Operator NAME DISPLAY VERSION REPLACES PHASE cluster-logging.5.4.2 Red Hat OpenShift Logging 5.4.2 Succeeded 16.7. Using the container image pre-cache feature Clusters might have limited bandwidth to access the container image registry, which can cause a timeout before the updates are completed. Note The time of the update is not set by TALM. You can apply the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR at the beginning of the update by manual application or by external automation. The container image pre-caching starts when the preCaching field is set to true in the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR. After a successful pre-caching process, you can start remediating policies. The remediation actions start when the enable field is set to true . The pre-caching process can be in the following statuses: PrecacheNotStarted This is the initial state all clusters are automatically assigned to on the first reconciliation pass of the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR. In this state, TALM deletes any pre-caching namespace and hub view resources of spoke clusters that remain from incomplete updates. TALM then creates a new ManagedClusterView resource for the spoke pre-caching namespace to verify its deletion in the PrecachePreparing state. PrecachePreparing Cleaning up any remaining resources from incomplete updates is in progress. PrecacheStarting Pre-caching job prerequisites and the job are created. PrecacheActive The job is in "Active" state. PrecacheSucceeded The pre-cache job has succeeded. PrecacheTimeout The artifact pre-caching has been partially done. PrecacheUnrecoverableError The job ends with a non-zero exit code. 16.7.1. Creating a ClusterGroupUpgrade CR with pre-caching The pre-cache feature allows the required container images to be present on the spoke cluster before the update starts. Prerequisites Install the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM). Provision one or more managed clusters. Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Save the contents of the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR with the preCaching field set to true in the clustergroupupgrades-group-du.yaml file: apiVersion: ran.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: ClusterGroupUpgrade metadata: name: du-upgrade-4918 namespace: ztp-group-du-sno spec: preCaching: true 1 clusters: - cnfdb1 - cnfdb2 enable: false managedPolicies: - du-upgrade-platform-upgrade remediationStrategy: maxConcurrency: 2 timeout: 240 1 The preCaching field is set to true , which enables TALM to pull the container images before starting the update. When you want to start the update, apply the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR by running the following command: USD oc apply -f clustergroupupgrades-group-du.yaml Verification Check if the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR exists in the hub cluster by running the following command: USD oc get cgu -A Example output NAMESPACE NAME AGE ztp-group-du-sno du-upgrade-4918 10s 1 1 The CR is created. Check the status of the pre-caching task by running the following command: USD oc get cgu -n ztp-group-du-sno du-upgrade-4918 -o jsonpath='{.status}' Example output { "conditions": [ { "lastTransitionTime": "2022-01-27T19:07:24Z", "message": "Precaching is not completed (required)", 1 "reason": "PrecachingRequired", "status": "False", "type": "Ready" }, { "lastTransitionTime": "2022-01-27T19:07:24Z", "message": "Precaching is required and not done", "reason": "PrecachingNotDone", "status": "False", "type": "PrecachingDone" }, { "lastTransitionTime": "2022-01-27T19:07:34Z", "message": "Pre-caching spec is valid and consistent", "reason": "PrecacheSpecIsWellFormed", "status": "True", "type": "PrecacheSpecValid" } ], "precaching": { "clusters": [ "cnfdb1" 2 ], "spec": { "platformImage": "image.example.io"}, "status": { "cnfdb1": "Active"} } } 1 Displays that the update is in progress. 2 Displays the list of identified clusters. Check the status of the pre-caching job by running the following command on the spoke cluster: USD oc get jobs,pods -n openshift-talm-pre-cache Example output NAME COMPLETIONS DURATION AGE job.batch/pre-cache 0/1 3m10s 3m10s NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE pod/pre-cache--1-9bmlr 1/1 Running 0 3m10s Check the status of the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR by running the following command: USD oc get cgu -n ztp-group-du-sno du-upgrade-4918 -o jsonpath='{.status}' Example output "conditions": [ { "lastTransitionTime": "2022-01-27T19:30:41Z", "message": "The ClusterGroupUpgrade CR has all clusters compliant with all the managed policies", "reason": "UpgradeCompleted", "status": "True", "type": "Ready" }, { "lastTransitionTime": "2022-01-27T19:28:57Z", "message": "Precaching is completed", "reason": "PrecachingCompleted", "status": "True", "type": "PrecachingDone" 1 } 1 The pre-cache tasks are done. 16.8. Troubleshooting the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager The Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) is an OpenShift Container Platform Operator that remediates RHACM policies. When issues occur, use the oc adm must-gather command to gather details and logs and to take steps in debugging the issues. For more information about related topics, see the following documentation: Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.4 Support Matrix Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management Troubleshooting The "Troubleshooting Operator issues" section 16.8.1. General troubleshooting You can determine the cause of the problem by reviewing the following questions: Is the configuration that you are applying supported? Are the RHACM and the OpenShift Container Platform versions compatible? Are the TALM and RHACM versions compatible? Which of the following components is causing the problem? Section 16.8.3, "Managed policies" Section 16.8.4, "Clusters" Section 16.8.5, "Remediation Strategy" Section 16.8.6, "Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager" To ensure that the ClusterGroupUpgrade configuration is functional, you can do the following: Create the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR with the spec.enable field set to false . Wait for the status to be updated and go through the troubleshooting questions. If everything looks as expected, set the spec.enable field to true in the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR. Warning After you set the spec.enable field to true in the ClusterUpgradeGroup CR, the update procedure starts and you cannot edit the CR's spec fields anymore. 16.8.2. Cannot modify the ClusterUpgradeGroup CR Issue You cannot edit the ClusterUpgradeGroup CR after enabling the update. Resolution Restart the procedure by performing the following steps: Remove the old ClusterGroupUpgrade CR by running the following command: USD oc delete cgu -n <ClusterGroupUpgradeCR_namespace> <ClusterGroupUpgradeCR_name> Check and fix the existing issues with the managed clusters and policies. Ensure that all the clusters are managed clusters and available. Ensure that all the policies exist and have the spec.remediationAction field set to inform . Create a new ClusterGroupUpgrade CR with the correct configurations. USD oc apply -f <ClusterGroupUpgradeCR_YAML> 16.8.3. Managed policies Checking managed policies on the system Issue You want to check if you have the correct managed policies on the system. Resolution Run the following command: USD oc get cgu lab-upgrade -ojsonpath='{.spec.managedPolicies}' Example output ["group-du-sno-validator-du-validator-policy", "policy2-common-pao-sub-policy", "policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy"] Checking remediationAction mode Issue You want to check if the remediationAction field is set to inform in the spec of the managed policies.
