Re: [atomic-devel] Introducing Commissaire



Related: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/23343

This is the model proposed by CoreOS for supporting cluster-upgrades.  Basically, a run-once kubelet is launched by the init system, and pulls down the real kubelet to run as a container, then all other requisite host services are provisioned as a DaemonSet derived set of pods on the node.  This does not cover things like kernel updates, but definitely does enable a lot of scenarios for updates of kubelet/openshift-node if we adopted the pattern.

Thanks,
Derek

Hello thanks for releasing this blog post, from a first impression
there is a bit of an overlap if you are already cloudforms to do that,
isn't it ?

With current implementations, yes. That said, Cloud Forms could eventually switch to using Commissaire for managing clusters of hosts.

As commissaire matures, I see great promise for it to handle a lot of the complexity involved in managing complex cluster upgrades (think OpenShift), where even something like applying kernel updates and orchestrating a reboot of hosts requires much more consideration than apply and restart or just performing the operations serially. Long term we need something that can be more integrated with Kubernetes/OpenShift that will allow for making ordering/restarting decisions on things like pod placement, scheduler configuration, and disruption budgets (when they are implemented). Having a centralized place to manage that complexity is much better than having multiple external tools do the same.
