Making open source more inclusive

Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright’s message.

Chapter 1. Deploying Data Grid clusters as Helm chart releases

Build, configure, and deploy Data Grid clusters with Helm. Data Grid provides a Helm chart that packages resources for running Data Grid clusters on OpenShift.

Install the Data Grid chart to create a Helm release, which instantiates a Data Grid cluster in your OpenShift project.

1.1. Installing the Data Grid chart through the OpenShift console

Use the OpenShift Web Console to install the Data Grid chart from the Red Hat developer catalog. Installing the chart creates a Helm release that deploys a Data Grid cluster.

Prerequisites

Have access to OpenShift.

Procedure

Log in to the OpenShift Web Console.
Select the Developer perspective.
Open the Add view and then select Helm Chart to browse the Red Hat developer catalog.
Locate and select the Data Grid chart.
Specify a name for the chart and select a version.
Define values in the following sections of the Data Grid chart:
- Images configures the container images to use when creating pods for your Data Grid cluster.
- Deploy configures your Data Grid cluster.
  Tip
  To find descriptions for each value, select the YAML view option and access the schema. Edit the yaml configuration to customize your Data Grid chart.
Select Install.

Verification

Select the Helm view in the Developer perspective.
Select the Helm release you created to view details, resources, and other information.

1.2. Installing the Data Grid chart on the command line

Use the command line to install the Data Grid chart on OpenShift and instantiate a Data Grid cluster. Installing the chart creates a Helm release that deploys a Data Grid cluster.

Prerequisites

Install the helm client.
Add the OpenShift Helm Charts repository.
Have access to an OpenShift cluster.
Have an oc client.

Procedure

Create a values file that configures your Data Grid cluster.

For example, the following values file creates a cluster with two nodes:

$ cat > infinispan-values.yaml<<EOF
#Build configuration
images:
  server: registry.redhat.io/datagrid/datagrid-8-rhel8:latest
  initContainer: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8-micro
#Deployment configuration
deploy:
  #Add a user with full security authorization.
  security:
    batch: "user create admin -p changeme"
  #Create a cluster with two pods.
  replicas: 2
EOF

Install the Data Grid chart and specify your values file.

$ helm install infinispan openshift-helm-charts/redhat-data-grid --values infinispan-values.yaml

Tip

Use the --set flag to override configuration values for the deployment. For example, to create a cluster with three nodes:

--set deploy.replicas=3

Verification

Watch the pods to ensure all nodes in the Data Grid cluster are created successfully.

$ oc get pods -w

1.3. Upgrading Data Grid Helm releases

Modify your Data Grid cluster configuration at runtime by upgrading Helm releases.

Prerequisites

Deploy the Data Grid chart.
Have a helm client.
Have an oc client.

Procedure

Modify the values file for your Data Grid deployment as appropriate.

Use the helm client to apply your changes, for example:

$ helm upgrade infinispan openshift-helm-charts/redhat-data-grid --values infinispan-values.yaml

Verification

Watch the pods rebuild to ensure all changes are applied to your Data Grid cluster successfully.

$ oc get pods -w

1.4. Uninstalling Data Grid Helm releases

Uninstall a release of the Data Grid chart to remove pods and other deployment artifacts.

Note

This procedure shows you how to uninstall a Data Grid deployment on the command line but you can use the OpenShift Web Console instead. Refer to the OpenShift documentation for specific instructions.

Prerequisites

Deploy the Data Grid chart.
Have a helm client.
Have an oc client.

Procedure

List the installed Data Grid Helm releases.
```
$ helm list
```
Use the helm client to uninstall a release and remove the Data Grid cluster:
```
$ helm uninstall <helm_release_name>
```

Use the oc client to remove the generated secret.

$ oc delete secret <helm_release_name>-generated-secret

1.5. Deployment configuration values

Deployment configuration values let you customize Data Grid clusters.

Tip

You can also find field and value descriptions in the Data Grid chart README.

Field	Description	Default value
`deploy.replicas`	Specifies the number of nodes in your Data Grid cluster, with a pod created for each node.	`1`
`deploy.container.extraJvmOpts`	Passes JVM options to Data Grid Server.	No default value.
`deploy.container.storage.ephemeral`	Defines whether storage is ephemeral or permanent.	The default value is `false`, which means data is permanent. Set the value to `true` to use ephemeral storage, which means all data is deleted when clusters shut down or restart.
`deploy.container.storage.size`	Defines how much storage is allocated to each Data Grid pod.	1Gi
`deploy.container.storage.storageClassName`	Specifies the name of a `StorageClass` object to use for the persistent volume claim (PVC).	No default value. By default, the persistent volume claim uses the storage class that has the `storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class` annotation set to `true`. If you include this field, you must specify an existing storage class as the value.
`deploy.container.resources.limits.cpu`	Defines the CPU limit, in CPU units, for each Data Grid pod.	500m
`deploy.container.resources.limits.memory`	Defines the maximum amount of memory, in bytes, for each Data Grid pod.	512Mi
`deploy.container.resources.requests.cpu`	Specifies the maximum CPU requests, in CPU units, for each Data Grid pod.	500m
`deploy.container.resources.requests.memory`	Specifies the maximum memory requests, in bytes, for each Data Grid pod.	512Mi
`deploy.security.secretName`	Specifies the name of a secret that creates credentials and configures security authorization.	No default value. If you create a custom security secret then `deploy.security.batch` does not take effect.
`deploy.security.batch`	Provides a batch file for the Data Grid command line interface (CLI) to create credentials and configure security authorization at startup.	No default value.
`deploy.expose.type`	Specifies the service that exposes Hot Rod and REST endpoints on the network and provides access to your Data Grid cluster, including the Data Grid Console.	`Route` Valid options are: `""` (empty value), `Route`, `LoadBalancer`, and `NodePort`. Set an empty value (`""`) if you do not want to expose Data Grid on the network.
`deploy.expose.nodePort`	Specifies a network port for node port services within the default range of 30000 to 32767.	0 If you do not specify a port, the platform selects an available one.
`deploy.expose.host`	Optionally specifies the hostname where the Route is exposed.	No default value.
`deploy.expose.annotations`	Adds annotations to the service that exposes Data Grid on the network.	No default value.
`deploy.logging.categories`	Configures Data Grid cluster log categories and levels.	No default value.
`deploy.podLabels`	Adds labels to each Data Grid pod that you create.	No default value.
`deploy.svcLabels`	Adds labels to each service that you create.	No default value.
`deploy.resourceLabels`	Adds labels to all Data Grid resources including pods and services.	No default value.
`deploy.makeDataDirWritable`	Allows write access to the `data` directory for each Data Grid Server node.	`false` If you set the value to `true`, Data Grid creates an initContainer that runs `chmod -R` on the `/opt/infinispan/server/data` directory to change permissions.
`deploy.nameOverride`	Specifies a name for all Data Grid cluster resources.	Helm Chart release name.
`deploy.infinispan`	Data Grid Server configuration.	Data Grid provides default server configuration. For more information about configuring server instances, see Data Grid Server configuration values.

Chapter 2. Configuring Data Grid Servers

Apply custom Data Grid Server configuration to your deployments.

2.1. Customizing Data Grid Server configuration

Apply custom deploy.infinispan values to Data Grid clusters that configure the Cache Manager and underlying server mechanisms like security realms or Hot Rod and REST endpoints.

Important

You must always provide a complete Data Grid Server configuration when you modify deploy.infinispan values.

Note

Do not modify or remove the default "metrics" configuration if you want to use monitoring capabilities for your Data Grid cluster.

Procedure

Modify Data Grid Server configuration as required:

Specify configuration values for the Cache Manager with deploy.infinispan.cacheContainer fields.
For example, you can create caches at startup with any Data Grid configuration or add cache templates and use them to create caches on demand.
Configure security authorization to control user roles and permissions with the deploy.infinispan.cacheContainer.security.authorization field.
Select one of the default JGroups stacks or configure cluster transport with the deploy.infinispan.cacheContainer.transport fields.
Configure Data Grid Server endpoints with the deploy.infinispan.server.endpoints fields.
Configure Data Grid Server network interfaces and ports with the deploy.infinispan.server.interfaces and deploy.infinispan.server.socketBindings fields.
Configure Data Grid Server security mechanisms with the deploy.infinispan.server.security fields.
Note
The Data Grid chart does not currently support TLS/SSL security realms and encrypted client connections.

2.2. Data Grid Server configuration values

Data Grid Server configuration values let you customize the Cache Manager and modify server instances that run in OpenShift pods.

Chapter 3. Configuring authentication and authorization

Control access to Data Grid clusters by adding credentials and assigning roles with different permissions.

3.1. Default credentials

Data Grid adds default credentials in a <helm_release_name>-generated-secret secret.

Username	Description
`developer`	User that has the `admin` role with full access to Data Grid resources.
`monitor`	Internal user that has the `monitor` role with access to Data Grid metrics through port `11223`.

Additional resources

Data Grid Security Guide

3.1.1. Retrieving credentials

Get Data Grid credentials from authentication secrets.

Prerequisites

Install the Data Grid Helm chart.
Have an oc client.

Procedure

Retrieve default credentials from the <helm_release_name>-generated-secret or custom credentials from another secret with the following command:
```
$ oc get secret <helm_release_name>-generated-secret \
-o jsonpath="{.data.identities-batch}" | base64 --decode
```

3.2. Adding custom user credentials

Create Data Grid user credentials and assign roles that grant security authorization for cluster access.

Procedure

Create credentials by specifying a user create command in the deploy.security.batch field.
User with implicit authorization
```
deploy:
  security:
    batch: 'user create admin -p changeme'
```
User with a specific role
```
deploy:
  security:
    batch: 'user create personone -p changeme -g deployer'
```
Install or upgrade your Data Grid Helm release.

3.2.1. User roles and permissions

Data Grid uses role-based access control to authorize users for access to cluster resources and data. For additional security, you should grant Data Grid users with appropriate roles when you add credentials.

Role	Permissions	Description
`admin`	ALL	Superuser with all permissions including control of the Cache Manager lifecycle.
`deployer`	ALL_READ, ALL_WRITE, LISTEN, EXEC, MONITOR, CREATE	Can create and delete Data Grid resources in addition to `application` permissions.
`application`	ALL_READ, ALL_WRITE, LISTEN, EXEC, MONITOR	Has read and write access to Data Grid resources in addition to `observer` permissions. Can also listen to events and execute server tasks and scripts.
`observer`	ALL_READ, MONITOR	Has read access to Data Grid resources in addition to `monitor` permissions.
`monitor`	MONITOR	Can view statistics for Data Grid clusters.

Additional resources

Data Grid Security Guide

3.2.2. Adding multiple credentials with authentication secrets

Add multiple credentials to Data Grid clusters with authentication secrets.

Prerequisites

Have an oc client.

Procedure

Create an identities-batch file that contains the commands to add your credentials.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: connect-secret
type: Opaque
stringData:
  # The "monitor" user authenticates with the Prometheus ServiceMonitor.
  username: monitor
  # The password for the "monitor" user.
  password: password
  # The key must be 'identities-batch'.
  # The content is "user create" commands for the Data Grid CLI.
  identities-batch: |-
    user create user1 -p changeme -g admin
    user create user2 -p changeme -g deployer
    user create monitor -p password --users-file metrics-users.properties --groups-file metrics-groups.properties

Create an authentication secret from your identities-batch file.
```
$ oc apply -f identities-batch.yaml
```

Specify the authentication secret in the deploy.security.SecretName field.

deploy:
  security:
    authentication: true
    secretName: 'connect-secret'

Install or upgrade your Data Grid Helm release.

3.3. Disabling authentication

Allow users to access Data Grid clusters and manipulate data without providing credentials.

Important

Do not disable authentication if endpoints are accessible from outside the OpenShift cluster. You should disable authentication for development environments only.

Procedure

Remove the propertiesRealm fields from the "default" security realm.
Install or upgrade your Data Grid Helm release.

3.4. Disabling security authorization

Allow Data Grid users to perform any operation regardless of their role.

Procedure

Set null as the value for the deploy.infinispan.cacheContainer.security field.
Tip
Use the --set deploy.infinispan.cacheContainer.security=null argument with the helm client.
Install or upgrade your Data Grid Helm release.

Chapter 4. Configuring network access

Configure network access for your Data Grid deployment and find out about internal network services.

4.1. Exposing Data Grid clusters on the network

Make Data Grid clusters available on the network so you can access Data Grid Console as well as REST and Hot Rod endpoints. By default, the Data Grid chart exposes deployments through a Route but you can configure it to expose clusters via Load Balancer or Node Port. You can also configure the Data Grid chart so that deployments are not exposed on the network and only available internally to the OpenShift cluster.

Procedure

Specify one of the following for the deploy.expose.type field:

Option	Description
`Route`	Exposes Data Grid through a route. This is the default value.
`LoadBalancer`	Exposes Data Grid through a load balancer service.
`NodePort`	Exposes Data Grid through a node port service.
`""` (empty value)	Disables exposing Data Grid on the network.

Optionally specify a hostname with the deploy.expose.host field if you expose Data Grid through a route.
Optionally specify a port with the deploy.expose.nodePort field if you expose Data Grid through a node port service.
Install or upgrade your Data Grid Helm release.

4.2. Retrieving network service details

Get network service details so you can connect to Data Grid clusters.

Prerequisites

Expose your Data Grid cluster on the network.
Have an oc client.

Procedure

Use one of the following commands to retrieve network service details:

If you expose Data Grid through a route:
```
$ oc get routes
```
If you expose Data Grid through a load balancer or node port service:
```
$ oc get services
```

4.3. Network services

The Data Grid chart creates default network services for internal access.

Service	Port	Protocol	Description
`<helm_release_name>`	`11222`	TCP	Provides access to Data Grid Hot Rod and REST endpoints.
`<helm_release_name>`	`11223`	TCP	Provides access to Data Grid metrics.
`<helm_release_name>-ping`	`8888`	TCP	Allows Data Grid pods to discover each other and form clusters.

You can retrieve details about internal network services as follows:

$ oc get services

NAME              TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)
infinispan        ClusterIP   192.0.2.0        <none>        11222/TCP,11223/TCP
infinispan-ping   ClusterIP   None             <none>        8888/TCP

Chapter 5. Connecting to Data Grid clusters

After you configure and deploy Data Grid clusters you can establish remote connections through the Data Grid Console, command line interface (CLI), Hot Rod client, or REST API.

5.1. Accessing Data Grid Console

Access the console to create caches, perform adminstrative operations, and monitor your Data Grid clusters.

Prerequisites

Expose your Data Grid cluster on the network.
Retrieve network service details.

Procedure

Access Data Grid Console from any browser at $SERVICE_HOSTNAME:$PORT.
Replace $SERVICE_HOSTNAME:$PORT with the hostname and port where Data Grid is available on the network.

5.2. Connecting with the command line interface (CLI)

Use the Data Grid CLI to connect to clusters and create caches, manipulate data, and perform administrative operations.

Prerequisites

Expose your Data Grid cluster on the network.
Retrieve network service details.
Download the native Data Grid CLI distribution from the Data Grid software downloads.
Extract the .zip archive for the native Data Grid CLI distribution to your host filesystem.

Procedure

Start the Data Grid CLI with the network service as the value for the -c argument, for example:
```
$ {native_cli} -c http://cluster-name-myroute.hostname.net/
```
Enter your Data Grid credentials when prompted.
Perform CLI operations as required.
Tip
Press the tab key or use the --help argument to view available options and help text.
Use the quit command to exit the CLI.

Using the Data Grid Command Line Interface

5.3. Connecting Hot Rod clients running on OpenShift

Access remote caches with Hot Rod clients running on the same OpenShift cluster as your Data Grid cluster.

Prerequisites

Retrieve network service details.

Procedure

Specify the internal network service detail for your Data Grid cluster in the client configuration.
In the following configuration examples, $SERVICE_HOSTNAME:$PORT denotes the hostname and port that allows access to your Data Grid cluster.
Specify your credentials so the client can authenticate with Data Grid.
Configure client intelligence, if required.
Hot Rod clients running on OpenShift can use any client intelligence because they can access internal IP addresses for Data Grid pods.
The default intelligence, HASH_DISTRIBUTION_AWARE, is recommended because it allows clients to route requests to primary owners, which improves performance.
