Add Tasks to acquire and release boskos Tasks 🐑
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Boskos is a tool that allows one to create a pool of cloud projects
(definitely GCP, I think it supports other providers as well), and
manages acquiring, releasing, and cleaning them between leases.

We use it for Tekton test infrastructure for our end to end tests and
we'd like to use it for our catalog Tasks as well.

This commit adds boskos acquire and release Tasks.

The acquire Task also creates a pod in the running cluster to perform
heartbeating so that boskos knows that the resource is still in use.

The intention of the release Task is that it would be run in a
Pipeline's `finally` clause, however today that would be difficult
because finally Tasks can't yet use the results of other Tasks, but this
functionality is on the way: tektoncd/pipeline#2557

This is part of the work in tektoncd#373 to create a Pipeline for the catalog.

# Boskos Acquire

The `boskos-acquire` Task can be used to acquire cloud projects from a pool with
[Boskos](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/boskos#boskos), by invoking `boskosctl`.

To release projects obtained with `boskos-acquire` can be released with
[`boskos-release`](../boskos-release).

It is implemented using [`boskosctl`](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/boskos/tree/master/cmd/boskosctl).

_The Task assumes already have Boskos up and running. To set it up yourself, your
best bet would be to find an example of it already configured, for example
[the boskos configuration used for Tekton itself](https://github.com/tektoncd/plumbing/tree/master/boskos)._

## ServiceAccount

After acquiring a project, the Task will start a running `pod` in your cluster to send
heartbeat requests to Boskos (Boskos will automatically clean up abandoned clusters).
This means the Task must be run with a serviceAccount that has the ability to interact
with `pods` (see [service-account.yaml](examples/service-account.yaml) for an example).

## Parameters

* **server-url**: The URL of the running boskos server. (_default_: http://boskos.test-pods.svc.cluster.local)
* **type**: The type of resource to request. Resource types are specified in the resource
ConfigMap provided to the Boskos server. (_default_: gke-project)
* **owner-name**: A string that identifies the owner of the leased resource to request. (_required_)

## Results

* **leased-resource**: The name of the leased resource

## Usage

See [examples/pipelinerun.yaml](examples/pipelinerun.yaml) for an example of a Pipeline that obtains
a resource using Boskos, then waits (this is when you would do whatever you need to do with the resource),
and finally releases it with [`boskos-release`](../boskos-release).

Boskos doesn't do anything to provide you with the credentials you need to interact with the resource you
have leased. Setting up and managing these credentials is outside the scope of Boskos's responsibilities.

# Boskos Release

The `boskos-release` Task can be used to release cloud projects
which were obtained from a pool with [Boskos](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/boskos#boskos)
via [`boskos-acquire`](../boskos-acquire).

It will mark the resource as `dirty` so that Boskos will clear any obtained resources.

It is implemented using [`boskosctl`](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/boskos/tree/master/cmd/boskosctl).

_The Task assumes already have Boskos up and running. To set it up yourself, your
best bet would be to find an example of it already configured, for example
[the boskos configuration used for Tekton itself](https://github.com/tektoncd/plumbing/tree/master/boskos)._

## ServiceAccount

[`boskos-acquire`](../boskos-acquire) will start a `pod` in your cluster to maintain the lease
via a heartbeat. `boskos-release` will delete that pod, and so the Task must be run with a
serviceAccount that has the ability to delete `pods` (see [service-account.yaml](examples/service-account.yaml) for an example).

## Parameters

* **server-url**: The URL of the running boskos server. (_default_: http://boskos.test-pods.svc.cluster.local)
* **leased-resource**: The name of the leased resource. (_required_)
* **owner-name**: A string that identifies the owner of the leased resource to request. (_required_)

## Usage

See [examples/pipelinerun.yaml](examples/pipelinerun.yaml) for an example of a Pipeline that obtains
a resource using [`boskos-acquire`](../boskos-acquire), then waits (this is when you would do whatever
you need to do with the resource), and finally releases it with `boskos-release`.
