Migrating Krateo PlatformOps from v2.4.3 to v2.5.0 (AKS example)

Krateo 2.5.0 introduces a new set of manifests to declare widgets in the portal. The difference with the previous version resides in the following:

  • API orchestration has been decoupled from the data preparation for the portal. This assumption requires implementing a RESTAction that the widget will reference
  • New widgets are strongly typified, meaning that there is a specific Kind for a particular widget, and properties are expressed in the dedicated CRD

The schema for widgets until the 2.4.3 version is the following:

apiVersion: templates.krateo.io/v1alpha1
kind: Collection
spec:
  type: panel
  propsRef:
  widgetsRefs: []
---
apiVersion: templates.krateo.io/v1alpha1
kind: Widget
spec:
  type:
  propsRef:
  app:
    template:
  API: []
  actions: []

The schema for widget from 2.5.0 version is the following:

kind: LineChart
apiVersion: widgets.templates.krateo.io/v1beta1
spec:
  widgetData:
  apiRef: 
  widgetDataTemplate: []
  resourcesRefs: []
  resourcesRefsTemplate: []

Updated schemas for the new frontend are collected here: https://github.com/krateoplatformops/frontend-chart/tree/main/chart/crds

Starting point: Krateo 2.4.3, Fireworksapp compositiondefinition 1.1.15, fireworksapp-tomigrate composition​

Krateo 2.4.3 has been installed on AKS in the following way:

helm upgrade installer installer \
 --repo https://charts.krateo.io \
 --namespace krateo-system \
 --create-namespace \
 --set krateoplatformops.service.type=LoadBalancer \
 --set krateoplatformops.service.externalIpAvailable=true \
 --install \
 --version 2.4.3 \
 --wait

This is the login page of Krateo 2.4.3: image

This is the dashboard page of an empty Krateo 2.4.3 installation: image

Let's apply a Fireworksapp compositiondefinition version 1.1.15: https://github.com/krateoplatformops/krateo-v2-template-fireworksapp, follow instruction for Krateo version 2.4.3 or lower

This is the dashboard page of Krateo 2.4.3 installation with the installed compositiondefinition with status Ready:False: image

This is the dashboard page of Krateo 2.4.3 installation with the install compositiondefinition that, after a while,e has status Ready:True: image

Moving to the template page of Krateo 2.4.3 installation, a Card is available: image

Let's click on the Card to open the Drawer with the CustomForm: image

Let's fill the form: image image

Krateo automatically opens the compositions page once the fireworksapp-tomigrate composition is created: image

Let's navigate the fireworksapp-tomigrate composition widgets: image image image image image

This is the dashboard page of Krateo 2.4.3 installation with the installed fireworksapp-tomigrate composition: image

Scale Krateo 2.4.3 core-provider to zero replicas​

kubectl scale deployment core-provider --replicas=0 -n krateo-system

Scale Krateo 2.4.3 oasgen-provider to zero replicas​

kubectl scale deployment oasgen-provider --replicas=0 -n krateo-system

Ending point: Krateo 2.5.0, Fireworksapp compositiondefinition 2.0.2 (version changed within the same compositiondefinition, previous fireworksapp-tomigrate composition​

A parallel installation of Krateo 2.5.0 has been installed on AKS in the following way:

git clone --branch 249-prepare-release-250 https://github.com/krateoplatformops/installer-chart.git
cd installer-chart
helm install installer-v2 ./chart --namespace krateo-v2-system --create-namespace -f ./chart/values.yaml --wait

Scale Krateo 2.5.0 core-provider to zero replicas​

kubectl scale deployment core-provider --replicas=0 -n krateo-v2-system

Scale Krateo 2.4.3 core-provider to one replica​

kubectl scale deployment core-provider --replicas=1 -n krateo-system

This is the login page of Krateo 2.5.0: image

This is the dashboard page of a Krateo 2.5.0 installation: image

Let's configure Krateo 2.5.0 for Fireworksapp compositiondefinition version 2.0.2: https://github.com/krateoplatformops/krateo-v2-template-fireworksapp, follow instruction for Krateo >= 2.5.0

Let's navigate the compositions page of Krateo 2.5.0 - it is empty since the composition fireworksapp-tomigrate has not been migrated yet: image

Let's migrate the composition, changing the Fireworksapp compositiondefinition version from 1.1.15 to 2.0.2:

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: core.krateo.io/v1alpha1
kind: CompositionDefinition
metadata:
  name: fireworksapp
  namespace: fireworksapp-system
spec:
  chart:
    repo: fireworks-app
    url: https://charts.krateo.io
    version: 2.0.2
EOF

Let's navigate again the compositions page of Krateo 2.5.0 - now the composition fireworksapp-tomigrate is migrated: image

Let's navigate the fireworksapp-tomigrate composition widgets: image image image image image

The composition fireworksapp-tomigrate has been migrated.

What has changed in the Fireworksapp helm chart from 1.1.15 to 2.0.2 version

We have changed the dependency,

We have released a new Helm Chart that collects Krateo 2.5.0 new portal widgets which is called composable-portal-starter.
