title: Deploy Application
---
This documentation will walk through a full application deployment workflow on KubeVela platform.
## Introduction
KubeVela is a fully self-service platform. All capabilities an application deployment needs are maintained as building block modules in this platform. Specifically:
- Components - deployable/provisionable entities that composed your application deployment
- e.g. a Kubernetes workload, a MySQL database, or a AWS OSS bucket
- Traits - attachable operational features per your needs
- e.g. autoscaling rules, rollout strategies, ingress rules, sidecars, security policies etc
## Step 1: Check Capabilities in the Platform
As user of this platform, you could check available components you can deploy, and available traits you can attach.
```console
$ kubectl get componentdefinitions -n vela-system
NAME WORKLOAD-KIND DESCRIPTION AGE
task Job Describes jobs that run code or a script to completion. 5h52m
webservice Deployment Describes long-running, scalable, containerized services that have a stable network endpoint to receive external network traffic from customers. 5h52m
worker Deployment Describes long-running, scalable, containerized services that running at backend. They do NOT have network endpoint to receive external network traffic. 5h52m
```
```console
$ kubectl get traitdefinitions -n vela-system
NAME APPLIES-TO DESCRIPTION AGE
ingress ["webservice","worker"] Configures K8s ingress and service to enable web traffic for your service. Please use route trait in cap center for advanced usage. 6h8m
cpuscaler ["webservice","worker"] Configure k8s HPA with CPU metrics for Deployment 6h8m
```
To show the specification for given capability, you could use `vela` CLI. For example, `vela show webservice` will return full schema of *Web Service* component and `vela show webservice --web` will open its capability reference documentation in your browser.
## Step 2: Design and Deploy Application
In KubeVela, `Application` is the main API to define your application deployment based on available capabilities. Every `Application` could contain multiple components, each of them can be attached with a number of traits per needs.
Now let's define an application composed by *Web Service* and *Worker* components.
```yaml
# sample.yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: website
spec:
components:
- name: frontend
type: webservice
properties:
image: nginx
traits:
- type: cpuscaler
properties:
min: 1
max: 10
cpuPercent: 60
- type: sidecar
properties:
name: "sidecar-test"
image: "fluentd"
- name: backend
type: worker
properties:
image: busybox
cmd:
- sleep
- '1000'
```
In this sample, we also attached `sidecar` and `cpuscaler` traits to the `frontend` component.
So after deployed, the `frontend` component instance (a Kubernetes Deployment workload) will be automatically injected
with a `fluentd` sidecar and automatically scale from 1-10 replicas based on CPU usage.
### Deploy the Application
Apply application YAML to Kubernetes:
```shell
$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/master/docs/examples/enduser/sample.yaml
application.core.oam.dev/website created
```
You'll get the application becomes `running`.
```shell
$ kubectl get application website -o yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: website
....
status:
components:
- apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1alpha2
kind: Component
name: backend
- apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1alpha2
kind: Component
name: frontend
....
status: running
```
### Verify the Deployment
You could see a Deployment named `frontend` is running, with port exposed, and with a container `fluentd` injected.
```shell
$ kubectl get deploy frontend
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
frontend 1/1 1 1 97s
```
```shell
$ kubectl get deploy frontend -o yaml
...
spec:
containers:
- image: nginx
imagePullPolicy: Always
name: frontend
ports:
- containerPort: 80
protocol: TCP
- image: fluentd
imagePullPolicy: Always
name: sidecar-test
...
```
Another Deployment is also running named `backend`.
```shell
$ kubectl get deploy backend
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
backend 1/1 1 1 111s
```
An HPA was also created by the `cpuscaler` trait.
```shell
$ kubectl get HorizontalPodAutoscaler frontend
NAME REFERENCE TARGETS MINPODS MAXPODS REPLICAS AGE
frontend Deployment/frontend <unknown>/50% 1 10 1 101m
```

In this documentation, we will explain the core idea of KubeVela and clarify some technical terms that are widely used in the project.
## Overview
First of all, KubeVela introduces a workflow with separate of concerns as below:
- **Platform Team**
- Model and manage platform capabilities as components or traits, together with deployment environment configurations.
- **End Users**
- Choose a deployment environment, assemble the app with available components and traits per needs, and then deploy the app to target environment.
Below is how this workflow looks like:
![alt](resources/how-it-works.png)
This design make it possible for platform team to enforce best practices by *coding* platform capabilities into reusable building blocks, and leverage them to expose a *PaaS-like* experience (*i.e. app-centric abstractions, self-service workflow etc*) to end users.
Also, as programmable components, all capabilities in KubeVela can be updated or extended easily per your needs at any time.
![alt](resources/what-is-kubevela.png)
In the model layer, KubeVela leverages [Open Application Model (OAM)](https://oam.dev) to make above design happen.
## `Application`
The *Application* is the core API of KubeVela. It allows developers to work with a single artifact to capture the complete application deployment with simplified primitives.
In application delivery platform, having an "application" concept is important to simplify administrative tasks and can serve as an anchor to avoid configuration drifts during operation. Also, it provides a much simpler path for on-boarding Kubernetes capabilities to end users without relying on low level details. For example, a developer will be able to model a "web service" without defining a detailed Kubernetes Deployment + Service combo each time, or claim the auto-scaling requirements without referring to the underlying KEDA ScaleObject.
### Example
An example of `website` application with two components (i.e. `frontend` and `backend`) could be modeled as below:
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: website
spec:
components:
- name: backend
type: worker
properties:
image: busybox
cmd:
- sleep
- '1000'
- name: frontend
type: webservice
properties:
image: nginx
traits:
- type: autoscaler
properties:
min: 1
max: 10
- type: sidecar
properties:
name: "sidecar-test"
image: "fluentd"
```
The `Application` resource in KubeVela is a LEGO-style entity and does not even have fixed schema. Instead, it is composed by several building blocks (app components and traits etc.) that gives you full flexibility to model platform capabilities around the application's needs.
These building blocks named `ComponentDefinition` and `TraitDefinition`.
### `ComponentDefinition`
`ComponentDefinition` is an object that models a deployable entity in your platform, for example, a *Long Running Web Service*, a *Helm chart* or a *Alibaba Cloud RDS*. A typical `ComponentDefinition` carries workload type description (i.e. `WorkloadDefinition`) of this component, and the configurable parameter list this component exposed to users.
Hence, components are designed to be shareable and reusable. For example, by referencing the same *Alibaba Cloud RDS* component and setting different parameter values, users could easily provision Alibaba Cloud RDS instances of different sizes in different availability zones.
Users will use the `Application` entity to declare how they want to instantiate and deploy certain component definitions. Specifically, the `.type` field references the name of a `ComponentDefinition` and `.properties` are user provided parameter values to instantiate it.
All component definitions expected to be provided by component providers such as 3rd-party software vendors, or pre-installed in the system by platform team.
### `TraitDefinition`
Optionally, each component has a `.traits` section that augments the component instance with operational behaviors such as load balancing policy, network ingress routing, auto-scaling policies, or upgrade strategies, etc.
Traits are operational features provided by the platform. To attach a trait to component instance, the user will declare `.type` field to reference the specific `TraitDefinition`, and `.properties` field to set property values of the given trait. Similarly, `TraitDefiniton` also allows you to define *template* for operational features.
We also reference component definitions and trait definitions as *"capabilities"* in KubeVela.
### Summary
These main concepts of KubeVela could be shown as below:
![alt](resources/concepts.png)
Essentially:
- Components - deployable/provisionable entities that composed your application
- e.g. a Helm chart, a stateless workload, a MySQL database, or a AWS S3 bucket
- Traits - attachable operational features per your needs
- e.g. autoscaling rules, rollout strategies, ingress rules, sidecars, security policies etc
- Application - full description of your application deployment assembled with components and traits
- Environment - the target environments to deploy this application
## Environment
Before releasing an application to production, it's important to test the code in testing/staging workspaces. In KubeVela, we describe these workspaces as "deployment environments" or "environments" for short. Each environment has its own configuration (e.g., domain, Kubernetes cluster and namespace, configuration data, access control policy, etc.) to allow user to create different deployment environments such as "test" and "production".
Currently, a KubeVela `environment` only maps to a Kubernetes namespace, while the cluster level environment is work in progress.
## Architecture
The overall architecture of KubeVela is shown as below:
![alt](resources/arch.png)
In nutshell, in *control plane cluster*, the application controller is responsible for application deployment orchestration and the placement controller is responsible for deploying the application across multiple *runtime clusters* with traffic shifting features supported out-of-box. The needed addons in runtime cluster are automatically discovered and installed with leverage of [CRD Lifecycle Management (CLM)](https://github.com/cloudnativeapp/CLM).
### Control Plane Cluster
The main part of KubeVela. It is the component that users will interact with and where the KubeVela controllers are running on. Control plane cluster will deploy the application to multiple *runtime clusters*.
### Runtime Clusters
Runtime clusters are where the applications are actually running on. The needed addons in runtime cluster are automatically discovered and installed with leverage of [CRD Lifecycle Management (CLM)](https://github.com/cloudnativeapp/CLM).
## API
On control plane cluster, KubeVela introduces [Open Application Model (OAM)](https://oam.dev) as the higher level API. Hence users of KubeVela only work on application level with a consistent experience, regardless of the complexity of heterogeneous runtime environments.
This API could be explained as below:
![alt](resources/concepts.png)
In detail:
- Components - deployable/provisionable entities that compose your application.
- e.g. a Helm chart, a Kubernetes workload, a CUE or Terraform module, or a cloud database instance etc.
- Traits - attachable features that will *overlay* given component with operational behaviors.
- e.g. autoscaling rules, rollout strategies, ingress rules, sidecars, security policies etc.
- Application - full description of your application deployment assembled with components and traits.
- Environment - the target environments to deploy this application.
We also reference components and traits as *"capabilities"* in KubeVela.
## Workflow
To ensure simple yet consistent user experience across hybrid environments. KubeVela introduces a workflow with separate of concerns as below:
- **Platform Team**
- Model and manage platform capabilities as components or traits, together with target environments specifications.
- **Application Team**
- Choose a environment, assemble the application with components and traits per needs, and deploy it to target environment.
> Note that either platform team or application team application will only talk to the control plane cluster. KubeVela is designed to hide the details of runtime clusters except for debugging or verifying purpose.
Below is how this workflow looks like:
![alt](resources/how-it-works.png)
All the capability building blocks can be updated or extended easily at any time since they are fully programmable (currently support CUE, Terraform and Helm).
## Environment
Before releasing an application to production, it's important to test the code in testing/staging workspaces. In KubeVela, we describe these workspaces as "environments". Each environment has its own configuration (e.g., domain, Kubernetes cluster and namespace, configuration data, access control policy, etc.) to allow user to create different deployment environments such as "test" and "production".
Currently, a KubeVela `environment` only maps to a Kubernetes namespace. In the future, a `environment` will contain multiple clusters.
## What's Next
Here are some recommended next steps:
- Learn how to [deploy an application](end-user/application) and understand how it works.
- Join `#kubevela` channel in CNCF [Slack](https://cloud-native.slack.com) and/or [Gitter](https://gitter.im/oam-dev/community)
Welcome onboard and sail Vela!

title: Overview
---
In this documentation, we will show how to check the detailed schema of a given capability (i.e. component type or trait).
This may sound challenging because every capability is a "plug-in" in KubeVela (even for the built-in ones), also, it's by design that KubeVela allows platform administrators to modify the capability templates at any time. In this case, do we need to manually write documentation for every newly installed capability? And how can we ensure those documentations for the system is up-to-date?
## Using Browser
Actually, as a important part of its "extensibility" design, KubeVela will always **automatically generate** reference documentation for every workload type or trait registered in your Kubernetes cluster, based on the template in its definition of course. This feature works for any capability: either built-in ones or your own workload types/traits.
Thus, as an end user, the only thing you need to do is:
```console
$ vela show COMPONENT_TYPE or TRAIT --web
```
This command will automatically open the reference documentation for given component type or trait in your default browser.
Let's take `$ vela show webservice --web` as example. The detailed schema documentation for `Web Service` component type will show up immediately as below:
![](../../resources/vela_show_webservice.jpg)
Note that there's in the section named `Specification`, it even provides you with a full sample for the usage of this workload type with a fake name `my-service-name`.
Similarly, we can also do `$ vela show autoscale`:
![](../../resources/vela_show_autoscale.jpg)
With these auto-generated reference documentations, we could easily complete the application description by simple copy-paste, for example:
```yaml
name: helloworld
services:
backend: # copy-paste from the webservice ref doc above
image: oamdev/testapp:v1
cmd: ["node", "server.js"]
port: 8080
cpu: "0.1"
autoscale: # copy-paste and modify from autoscaler ref doc above
min: 1
max: 8
cron:
startAt: "19:00"
duration: "2h"
days: "Friday"
replicas: 4
timezone: "America/Los_Angeles"
```
## Using Terminal
This reference doc feature also works for terminal-only case. For example:
```shell
$ vela show webservice

title: Application
---
This documentation will walk through how to use KubeVela to design a simple application without any placement rule.
> Note: since you didn't declare placement rule, KubeVela will deploy this application directly to the control plane cluster (i.e. the cluster your `kubectl` is talking to). This is also the same case if you are using local cluster such as KinD or MiniKube to play KubeVela.
## Step 1: Check Available Components
Components are deployable or provisionable entities that compose your application. It could be a Helm chart, a simple Kubernetes workload, a CUE or Terraform module, or a cloud database etc.
Let's check the available components in fresh new KubeVela.
```shell
kubectl get comp -n vela-system
NAME WORKLOAD-KIND DESCRIPTION
task Job Describes jobs that run code or a script to completion.
webservice Deployment Describes long-running, scalable, containerized services that have a stable network endpoint to receive external network traffic from customers.
worker Deployment Describes long-running, scalable, containerized services that running at backend. They do NOT have network endpoint to receive external network traffic.
```
To show the specification for given component, you could use `vela show`.
```shell
$ kubectl vela show webservice
# Properties

| port | Which port do you want customer traffic sent to | int | true | 80 |

+------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------+----------+---------+
... // skip other fields
```
> Tips: `vela show xxx --web` will open its capability reference documentation in your default browser.
You could always [add more components](components/more) to the platform at any time.
## Step 2: Declare an Application
Application is the full description of a deployment. Let's define an application that deploys a *Web Service* and a *Worker* components.
```yaml
# sample.yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: website
spec:
components:
- name: frontend
type: webservice
properties:
image: nginx

properties:
image: busybox
cmd:
- sleep
- '1000'
```
## Step 3: Attach Traits
Traits are platform provided features that could *overlay* a given component with extra operational behaviors.
```shell
$ kubectl get trait -n vela-system
NAME APPLIES-TO DESCRIPTION
cpuscaler [webservice worker] configure k8s HPA with CPU metrics for Deployment
ingress [webservice worker] Configures K8s ingress and service to enable web traffic for your service. Please use route trait in cap center for advanced usage.
scaler [webservice worker] Configures replicas for your service.
sidecar [webservice worker] inject a sidecar container into your app
```
Let's check the specification of `sidecar` trait.
```shell
$ kubectl vela show sidecar
# Properties
+---------+-----------------------------------------+----------+----------+---------+
| NAME | DESCRIPTION | TYPE | REQUIRED | DEFAULT |
+---------+-----------------------------------------+----------+----------+---------+
| name | Specify the name of sidecar container | string | true | |
| image | Specify the image of sidecar container | string | true | |
| command | Specify the commands run in the sidecar | []string | false | |
+---------+-----------------------------------------+----------+----------+---------+
```
Note that traits are designed to be *overlays*.
This means for `sidecar` trait, your `frontend` component doesn't need to have a sidecar template or bring a webhook to enable sidecar injection. Instead, KubeVela is able to patch a sidecar to its workload instance after it is generated by the component (no matter it's a Helm chart or CUE module) but before it is applied to runtime cluster.
Similarly, the system will assign a HPA instance based on the properties you set and "link" it to the target workload instance, the component itself is untouched.
Now let's attach `sidecar` and `cpuscaler` traits to the `frontend` component.
```yaml
# sample.yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: website
spec:
components:
- name: frontend # This is the component I want to deploy
type: webservice
properties:
image: nginx
traits:
- type: cpuscaler # Assign a HPA to scale the component by CPU usage
properties:
min: 1
max: 10
cpuPercent: 60
- type: sidecar # Inject a fluentd sidecar before applying the component to runtime cluster
properties:
name: "sidecar-test"
image: "fluentd"
- name: backend
type: worker
properties:
image: busybox
cmd:
- sleep
- '1000'
```
## Step 4: Deploy the Application
```shell
$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/master/docs/examples/enduser/sample.yaml
application.core.oam.dev/website created
```
You'll get the application becomes `running`.
```shell
$ kubectl get application
NAME COMPONENT TYPE PHASE HEALTHY STATUS AGE
website frontend webservice running true 4m54s
```
Check the details of the application.
```shell
$ kubectl get app website -o yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
generation: 1
name: website
namespace: default
spec:
components:
- name: frontend
properties:
image: nginx
traits:
- properties:
cpuPercent: 60
max: 10
min: 1
type: cpuscaler
- properties:
image: fluentd
name: sidecar-test
type: sidecar
type: webservice
- name: backend
properties:
cmd:
- sleep
- "1000"
image: busybox
type: worker
status:
...
latestRevision:
name: website-v1
revision: 1
revisionHash: e9e062e2cddfe5fb
services:
- healthy: true
name: frontend
traits:
- healthy: true
type: cpuscaler
- healthy: true
type: sidecar
- healthy: true
name: backend
status: running
```
Specifically:
1. `status.latestRevision` declares current revision of this deployment.
2. `status.services` declares the component created by this deployment and the healthy state.
3. `status.status` declares the global state of this deployment.
### List Revisions
When updating an application entity, KubeVela will create a new revision for this change.
```shell
$ kubectl get apprev -l app.oam.dev/name=website
NAME AGE
website-v1 35m
```
Furthermore, the system will decide how to/whether to rollout the application based on the attached [rollout plan](scopes/rollout-plan).
### Verify
<details>
On the runtime cluster, you could see a Kubernetes Deployment named `frontend` is running, with port exposed, and with a container `fluentd` injected.
```shell
$ kubectl get deploy frontend
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
frontend 1/1 1 1 97s
```
```shell
$ kubectl get deploy frontend -o yaml
...
spec:
containers:
- image: nginx
imagePullPolicy: Always
name: frontend
ports:
- containerPort: 80
protocol: TCP
- image: fluentd
imagePullPolicy: Always
name: sidecar-test
...
```
Another Deployment is also running named `backend`.
```shell
$ kubectl get deploy backend
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
backend 1/1 1 1 111s
```
An HPA was also created by the `cpuscaler` trait.
```shell
$ kubectl get HorizontalPodAutoscaler frontend
NAME REFERENCE TARGETS MINPODS MAXPODS REPLICAS AGE
frontend Deployment/frontend <unknown>/50% 1 10 1 101m
```
</details>

## Provision and consume cloud resource in different applications
In this section, cloud resource will be provisioned in one application and consumed in another application.
### Provision Cloud Resource
Instantiate RDS component with `alibaba-rds` workload type in an [Application](../application) to provide cloud resources.
As we have claimed an RDS instance with ComponentDefinition name `alibaba-rds`.
The component in the application should refer to this type.
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: baas-rds
spec:
components:
- name: sample-db
type: alibaba-rds
properties:
name: sample-db
engine: mysql
engineVersion: "8.0"
instanceClass: rds.mysql.c1.large
username: oamtest
secretName: db-conn
```
Apply the application to Kubernetes and a RDS instance will be automatically provisioned (may take some time, ~2 mins).
A secret `db-conn` will also be created in the same namespace as that of the application.
```shell
$ kubectl get application
NAME AGE
baas-rds 9h
$ kubectl get rdsinstance
NAME READY SYNCED STATE ENGINE VERSION AGE
sample-db-v1 True True Running mysql 8.0 9h
$ kubectl get secret
NAME TYPE DATA AGE
db-conn connection.crossplane.io/v1alpha1 4 9h
$ ✗ kubectl get secret db-conn -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
endpoint: xxx==
password: yyy
port: MzMwNg==
username: b2FtdGVzdA==
kind: Secret
```
### Consume the Cloud Resource
In this section, we will show how another component consumes the RDS instance.
> Note: we recommend defining the cloud resource claiming to an independent application if that cloud resource has
> standalone lifecycle.
Now create the Application to consume the data.
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: webapp
spec:
components:
- name: express-server
type: webconsumer
properties:
image: zzxwill/flask-web-application:v0.3.1-crossplane
ports: 80
dbSecret: db-conn
```
```shell
$ kubectl get application
NAME AGE
baas-rds 10h
webapp 14h
$ kubectl get deployment
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
express-server-v1 1/1 1 1 9h
$ kubectl port-forward deployment/express-server 80:80
```
We can see the cloud resource is successfully consumed by the application.

title: Want More?

Components in KubeVela are designed to be brought by users.
Check below documentations about how to bring your own components to the system in various approaches.
- [Helm](../../platform-engineers/helm/component) - Helm chart is a natural form of component, note that you need to have a valid Helm repository (e.g. GitHub repo or a Helm hub) to host the chart in this case.
- [CUE](../../platform-engineers/cue/component) - CUE is powerful approach to encapsulate a component and it doesn't require any repository.
- [Simple Template](../../platform-engineers/kube/component) - Not a Helm or CUE expert? A simple template approach is also provided to define any Kubernetes API resource as a component. Note that only key-value style parameters are supported in this case.
- [Cloud Services](../../platform-engineers/cloud-services) - KubeVela allows you to declare cloud services as part of the application and provision them in consistent API.

title: Application Rollout
---
In this documentation, we will show how to use the rollout plan within application to do progressive rollout.
## Overview
By default, when we update the spec of Application, KubeVela will update workload directly which relies on the underlying workload to provide availability.
KubeVela provides a unified progressive rollout mechanism, you can specify the `spec.rolloutPlan` in application to do so.
## User Workflow
Here is the end to end user experience based on Deployment
1. Deploy application to the cluster
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: test-rolling
spec:
components:
- name: metrics-provider
type: worker
properties:
cmd:
- ./podinfo
- stress-cpu=1.0
image: stefanprodan/podinfo:4.0.6
port: 8080
rolloutPlan:
rolloutStrategy: "IncreaseFirst"
rolloutBatches:
- replicas: 50%
- replicas: 50%
targetSize: 6
```
2. User can modify the application container command and apply
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: test-rolling
spec:
components:
- name: metrics-provider
type: worker

port: 8080
rolloutPlan:
rolloutStrategy: "IncreaseFirst"

- replicas: 50%

```
User can check the status of the Application and see the rollout completes, and the
Application's `status.rollout.rollingState` becomes `rolloutSucceed`
## Using AppRollout to adopt Application with rolloutPlan
Sometimes, we want to use [AppRollout](../rollout/rollout) to adopt the Application Rollout, so we can use the `AppRollout` to specify more specific revision. The `AppRollout` can both rollout or revert the version of application.
If you want to let `AppRollout` adopt the Application with `rolloutPlan`, please add the annotations in application to tell `AppRollout` to adopt rollout, and clean the strategy in `spec.rolloutPlan` to avoid conflicts.
eg. to let AppRollout adopt the application above, you should update the application like below:
```shell
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: test-rolling
annotations:
"app.oam.dev/rolling-components": "metrics-provider"
"app.oam.dev/rollout-template": "true"
spec:
components:
- name: metrics-provider
type: worker
properties:
cmd:
- ./podinfo
- stress-cpu=2.0
image: stefanprodan/podinfo:4.0.6
port: 8080
```
Please refer to [AppRollout](../rollout/rollout) to learn more details.

title: Advanced Rollout Plan
---
The rollout plan feature in KubeVela is essentially provided by `AppRollout` API.
## AppRollout
Below is an example for rolling update an application from v1 to v2 in three batches. The
first batch contains only 1 pod while the rest of the batches split the rest.
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: AppRollout
metadata:
name: rolling-example
spec:
sourceAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v1
targetAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v2
componentList:
- metrics-provider
rolloutPlan:
rolloutStrategy: "IncreaseFirst"
rolloutBatches:
- replicas: 1
- replicas: 50%
- replicas: 50%
batchPartition: 1
```
## Basic Usage
1. Deploy application
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: test-rolling
annotations:
"app.oam.dev/rolling-components": "metrics-provider"
"app.oam.dev/rollout-template": "true"
spec:
components:
- name: metrics-provider
type: worker
properties:
cmd:
- ./podinfo
- stress-cpu=1
image: stefanprodan/podinfo:4.0.6
port: 8080
replicas: 5
```
Verify AppRevision `test-rolling-v1` have generated
```shell
$ kubectl get apprev test-rolling-v1
NAME AGE
test-rolling-v1 9s
```
2. Attach the following rollout plan to upgrade the application to v1
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: AppRollout
metadata:
name: rolling-example
spec:
# application (revision) reference
targetAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v1
componentList:
- metrics-provider
rolloutPlan:
rolloutStrategy: "IncreaseFirst"
rolloutBatches:
- replicas: 10%
- replicas: 40%
- replicas: 50%
targetSize: 5
```
Use can check the status of the ApplicationRollout and wait for the rollout to complete.
3. User can continue to modify the application image tag and apply.This will generate new AppRevision `test-rolling-v2`
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: test-rolling
annotations:
"app.oam.dev/rolling-components": "metrics-provider"
"app.oam.dev/rollout-template": "true"
spec:
components:
- name: metrics-provider
type: worker
properties:
cmd:
- ./podinfo
- stress-cpu=1
image: stefanprodan/podinfo:5.0.2
port: 8080
replicas: 5
```
Verify AppRevision `test-rolling-v2` have generated
```shell
$ kubectl get apprev test-rolling-v2
NAME AGE
test-rolling-v2 7s
```
4. Apply the application rollout that upgrade the application from v1 to v2
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: AppRollout
metadata:
name: rolling-example
spec:
# application (revision) reference
sourceAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v1
targetAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v2
componentList:
- metrics-provider
rolloutPlan:
rolloutStrategy: "IncreaseFirst"
rolloutBatches:
- replicas: 1
- replicas: 2
- replicas: 2
```
User can check the status of the ApplicationRollout and see the rollout completes, and the
ApplicationRollout's "Rolling State" becomes `rolloutSucceed`
## Advanced Usage
Using `AppRollout` separately can enable some advanced use case.
### Revert
5. Apply the application rollout that revert the application from v2 to v1
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: AppRollout
metadata:
name: rolling-example
spec:
# application (revision) reference
sourceAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v2
targetAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v1
componentList:
- metrics-provider
rolloutPlan:
rolloutStrategy: "IncreaseFirst"
rolloutBatches:
- replicas: 1
- replicas: 2
- replicas: 2
```
### Skip Revision Rollout
6. User can apply this yaml continue to modify the application image tag.This will generate new AppRevision `test-rolling-v3`
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: test-rolling
annotations:
"app.oam.dev/rolling-components": "metrics-provider"
"app.oam.dev/rollout-template": "true"
spec:
components:
- name: metrics-provider
type: worker
properties:
cmd:
- ./podinfo
- stress-cpu=1
image: stefanprodan/podinfo:5.2.0
port: 8080
replicas: 5
```
Verify AppRevision `test-rolling-v3` have generated
```shell
$ kubectl get apprev test-rolling-v3
NAME AGE
test-rolling-v3 7s
```
7. Apply the application rollout that rollout the application from v1 to v3
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: AppRollout
metadata:
name: rolling-example
spec:
# application (revision) reference
sourceAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v1
targetAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v3
componentList:
- metrics-provider
rolloutPlan:
rolloutStrategy: "IncreaseFirst"
rolloutBatches:
- replicas: 1
- replicas: 2
- replicas: 2
```
## More Details About `AppRollout`
### Design Principles and Goals
There are several attempts at solving rollout problem in the cloud native community. However, none
of them provide a true rolling style upgrade. For example, flagger supports Blue/Green, Canary
and A/B testing. Therefore, we decide to add support for batch based rolling upgrade as
our first style to support in KubeVela.
We design KubeVela rollout solutions with the following principles in mind
- First, we want all flavors of rollout controllers share the same core rollout
related logic. The trait and application related logic can be easily encapsulated into its own
package.
- Second, the core rollout related logic is easily extensible to support different type of
workloads, i.e. Deployment, CloneSet, Statefulset, DaemonSet or even customized workloads.
- Thirdly, the core rollout related logic has a well documented state machine that
does state transition explicitly.
- Finally, the controllers can support all the rollout/upgrade needs of an application running
in a production environment including Blue/Green, Canary and A/B testing.
### State Transition
Here is the high level state transition graph
![](../../resources/approllout-status-transition.jpg)
### Roadmap
Our recent roadmap for rollout plan is [here](./roadmap).

## Introduction
Modern application infrastructure involves multiple clusters to ensure high availability and maximize service throughput. In this section, we will introduce how to use KubeVela to achieve application deployment across multiple clusters with following features supported:
- Rolling Upgrade: To continuously deploy apps requires to rollout in a safe manner which usually involves step by step rollout batches and analysis.
- Traffic shifting: When rolling upgrade an app, it needs to split the traffic onto both the old and new revisions to verify the new version while preserving service availability.
In this section, we will introduce how to use KubeVela to place application across multiple clusters with traffic management enabled. For traffic management, KubeVela currently allows you to split the traffic onto both the old and new revisions during rolling update and verify the new version while preserving service availability.

title: Rollout Plan
---
In this documentation, we will show how to use the rollout plan to rolling update an application.
## Overview
By default, when we update the properties of application, KubeVela will update the underlying instances directly. The availability of the application will be guaranteed by rollout traits (if any).
Though KubeVela also provides a rolling style update mechanism, you can specify the `spec.rolloutPlan` in application to do so.
## Example
1. Deploy application to the cluster
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: test-rolling
spec:
components:
- name: metrics-provider
type: worker
properties:
cmd:
- ./podinfo
- stress-cpu=1.0
image: stefanprodan/podinfo:4.0.6
port: 8080
rolloutPlan:
rolloutStrategy: "IncreaseFirst"
rolloutBatches:
- replicas: 50%
- replicas: 50%
targetSize: 6
```
2. User can modify the application container command and apply
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: test-rolling
spec:
components:
- name: metrics-provider
type: worker
properties:
cmd:
- ./podinfo
- stress-cpu=2.0
image: stefanprodan/podinfo:4.0.6
port: 8080
rolloutPlan:
rolloutStrategy: "IncreaseFirst"
rolloutBatches:
- replicas: 50%
- replicas: 50%
targetSize: 6
```
User can check the status of the application and see the rollout completes, and the
application's `status.rollout.rollingState` becomes `rolloutSucceed`.

title: Cloud Volumes
---
This section introduces how to attach cloud volumes to the component. For example, AWS ElasticBlockStore,
Azure Disk, Alibaba Cloud OSS, etc.
Cloud volumes are not built-in capabilities in KubeVela so you need to enable these traits first. Let's use AWS EBS as example.
Install and check the `TraitDefinition` for AWS EBS volume trait.
```shell
$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/master/docs/examples/app-with-volumes/td-awsEBS.yaml
```
```shell
$ kubectl vela show aws-ebs-volume

title: Attach Volumes
---
We will introduce how to attach basic volumes as well as extended custom
volume types for applications.
## Attach Basic Volume
`worker` and `webservice` both are capable of attaching multiple common types of
volumes, including `persistenVolumeClaim`, `configMap`, `secret`, and `emptyDir`.
You should indicate the name of volume type in components properties.
(we use `pvc` instead of `persistenVolumeClaim` for brevity)
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: website
spec:
components:
- name: frontend
type: webservice
properties:
image: nginx
volumes:
- name: "my-pvc"
mountPath: "/var/www/html1"
type: "pvc" # persistenVolumeClaim type volume
claimName: "myclaim"
- name: "my-cm"
mountPath: "/var/www/html2"
type: "configMap" # configMap type volume (specifying items)
cmName: "myCmName"
items:
- key: "k1"
path: "./a1"
- key: "k2"
path: "./a2"
- name: "my-cm-noitems"
mountPath: "/var/www/html22"
type: "configMap" # configMap type volume (not specifying items)
cmName: "myCmName2"
- name: "mysecret"
type: "secret" # secret type volume
mountPath: "/var/www/html3"
secretName: "mysecret"
- name: "my-empty-dir"
type: "emptyDir" # emptyDir type volume
mountPath: "/var/www/html4"
```
You should make sure the attached volume sources are prepared in your cluster.
## Extend custom volume types and attach
It's also allowed to extend custom volume types, such as AWS ElasticBlockStore,
Azure disk, Alibaba Cloud OSS, etc.
To enable attaching extended volume types, we should install specific Trait
capability first.
```shell
$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oam-dev/kubevela/master/docs/examples/app-with-volumes/td-awsEBS.yaml
```
```shell
$ kubectl vela show aws-ebs-volume
+-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------+--------+----------+---------+
| NAME | DESCRIPTION | TYPE | REQUIRED | DEFAULT |
+-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------+--------+----------+---------+
| name | The name of volume. | string | true | |
| mountPath | | string | true | |
| volumeID | Unique id of the persistent disk resource. | string | true | |
| fsType | Filesystem type to mount. | string | true | ext4 |
| partition | Partition on the disk to mount. | int | false | |
| readOnly | ReadOnly here will force the ReadOnly setting in VolumeMounts. | bool | true | false |
+-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------+--------+----------+---------+
```
Then we can define an Application using aws-ebs volumes.
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: app-worker
spec:
components:
- name: myworker
type: worker
properties:
image: "busybox"

- Simple yet Reliable. Perfect in flexibility though, X-as-Code may lead to configuration drift (i.e. the running instances are not in line with the expected configuration). KubeVela solves this by modeling its capabilities as code but enforce them via Kubernetes control loop which will never leave inconsistency in your clusters. This also makes KubeVela work with any CI/CD or GitOps tools via declarative API without integration burden.

Comparing to this mechanism, traditional PaaS systems are highly restricted, i.e. they have to enforce constraints in the type of supported applications and capabilities, and as application needs grows, you always outgrow the capabilities of the PaaS system - this will never happen in KubeVela platform.

title: Crossplane
title: Overview
---
Cloud services is also part of your application deployment.
Cloud services are important components of your application, and KubeVela allows you to provision and consume them in a consistent experience.
## Should a Cloud Service be a Component or Trait?
## How Does KubeVela Manage Cloud Services?
The following practice could be considered:
- Use `ComponentDefinition` if:
- you want to allow your end users explicitly claim a "instance" of the cloud service and consume it, and release the "instance" when deleting the application.
- Use `TraitDefinition` if:
- you don't want to give your end users any control/workflow of claiming or releasing the cloud service, you only want to give them a way to consume a cloud service which could even be managed by some other system. A `Service Binding` trait is widely used in this case.
In KubeVela, the needed cloud services are claimed as *components* in an application, and consumed via *Service Binding Trait* by other components.
In this documentation, we will define an Alibaba Cloud's RDS (Relational Database Service), and an Alibaba Cloud's OSS (Object Storage System) as example. This mechanism works the same with other cloud providers.
In a single application, they are in form of Traits, and in multiple applications, they are in form of Components.
## Does KubeVela Talk to the Clouds?
## Install and Configure Crossplane
KubeVela relies on [Terraform Controller](https://github.com/oam-dev/terraform-controller) or [Crossplane](http://crossplane.io/) as providers to talk to the clouds. Please check the documentations below for detailed steps.
This guide will use [Crossplane](https://crossplane.io/) as the cloud service provider. Please Refer to [Installation](https://github.com/crossplane/provider-alibaba/releases/tag/v0.5.0)
to install Crossplane Alibaba provider v0.5.0.
- [Terraform](./terraform.md)
- [Crossplane](./crossplane.md)
If you'd like to configure any other Crossplane providers, please refer to [Crossplane Select a Getting Started Configuration](https://crossplane.io/docs/v1.1/getting-started/install-configure.html#select-a-getting-started-configuration).
## Can a Instance of Cloud Services be Shared by Multiple Applications?
```
$ kubectl crossplane install provider crossplane/provider-alibaba:v0.5.0
Yes. Though we currently defer this to providers so by default the cloud service instances are not shared and dedicated per `Application`. A workaround for now is you could use a separate `Application` to declare the cloud service only, then other `Application` can consume it via service binding trait in a shared approach.
# Note the xxx and yyy here is your own AccessKey and SecretKey to the cloud resources.
$ kubectl create secret generic alibaba-account-creds -n crossplane-system --from-literal=accessKeyId=xxx --from-literal=accessKeySecret=yyy
$ kubectl apply -f provider.yaml
```
`provider.yaml` is as below.
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
name: crossplane-system
---
apiVersion: alibaba.crossplane.io/v1alpha1
kind: ProviderConfig

```
Note: We currently just use Crossplane Alibaba provider. But we are about to use [Crossplane](https://crossplane.io/) as the
cloud resource operator for Kubernetes in the near future.
## Register ComponentDefinition and TraitDefinition

```

// +usage=Secret name which RDS connection will write to

```
### Register ComponentDefinition `webconsumer` with Secret Reference
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: ComponentDefinition
metadata:
name: webconsumer
annotations:
definition.oam.dev/description: A Deployment provides declarative updates for Pods and ReplicaSets
spec:

spec: {

image: parameter.image
if parameter["cmd"] != _|_ {
command: parameter.cmd
}
if parameter["dbSecret"] != _|_ {
env: [
{
name: "username"
value: dbConn.username
},
{
name: "endpoint"
value: dbConn.endpoint
},
{
name: "DB_PASSWORD"
value: dbConn.password
},
]
}
ports: [{
containerPort: parameter.port
}]
if parameter["cpu"] != _|_ {
resources: {
limits:
cpu: parameter.cpu
requests:
cpu: parameter.cpu
}
}
}]
}
}
}
}
parameter: {
// +usage=Which image would you like to use for your service
// +short=i
image: string
// +usage=Commands to run in the container
cmd?: [...string]
// +usage=Which port do you want customer traffic sent to
// +short=p
port: *80 | int
// +usage=Referred db secret
// +insertSecretTo=dbConn
dbSecret?: string
// +usage=Number of CPU units for the service, like `0.5` (0.5 CPU core), `1` (1 CPU core)
cpu?: string
}
dbConn: {
username: string
endpoint: string
password: string
}
```
The key point is the annotation `//+insertSecretTo=dbConn`, KubeVela will know the parameter is a K8s secret, it will parse
the secret and bind the data into the CUE struct `dbConn`.
Then the `output` can reference the `dbConn` struct for the data value. The name `dbConn` can be any name.
It's just an example in this case. The `+insertSecretTo` is keyword, it defines the data binding mechanism.
### Prepare TraitDefinition `service-binding` to do env-secret mapping
As for data binding in Application, KubeVela recommends defining a trait to finish the job. We have prepared a common
trait for convenience. This trait works well for binding resources' info into pod spec Env.
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: TraitDefinition
metadata:
annotations:
definition.oam.dev/description: "binding cloud resource secrets to pod env"
name: service-binding
spec:
appliesToWorkloads:
- webservice
- worker
schematic:
cue:
template: |
patch: {
spec: template: spec: {
// +patchKey=name
containers: [{
name: context.name
// +patchKey=name
env: [
for envName, v in parameter.envMappings {
name: envName
valueFrom: {
secretKeyRef: {
name: v.secret
if v["key"] != _|_ {
key: v.key
}
if v["key"] == _|_ {
key: envName
}
}
}
},
]
}]
}
}
parameter: {
// +usage=The mapping of environment variables to secret
envMappings: [string]: [string]: string
}
```
With the help of this `service-binding` trait, developers can explicitly set parameter `envMappings` to mapping all
environment names with secret key. Here is an example.
```yaml
...
traits:
- type: service-binding
properties:
envMappings:
# environments refer to db-conn secret
DB_PASSWORD:
secret: db-conn
key: password # 1) If the env name is different from secret key, secret key has to be set.
endpoint:
secret: db-conn # 2) If the env name is the same as the secret key, secret key can be omitted.
username:
secret: db-conn
# environments refer to oss-conn secret
BUCKET_NAME:
secret: oss-conn
key: Bucket
...
```
You can see [the end user usage workflow](../end-user/cloud-resources) to know how it used.
In the future, we are considering making this part as a standard feature of KubeVela so you could claim whether a given cloud service component should be shared or not.

* For Helm based definition: the [`parameter`](../helm/component#Write-ComponentDefinition) is generated from `values.yaml` in Helm chart.
* For CUE based definition: the `parameter` is a keyword in CUE template.
* For Helm based definition: the `parameter` is generated from `values.yaml` in Helm chart.

### Helm Based Components
If a Helm based component definition is installed in KubeVela, it will also generate OpenAPI v3 JSON schema based on the [`values.schema.json`](https://helm.sh/docs/topics/charts/#schema-files) in the Helm chart, and store it in the `ConfigMap` following convention above. If `values.schema.json` is not provided by the chart author, KubeVela will automatically generate OpenAPI v3 JSON schema based on its `values.yaml` file automatically.
# What's Next
It's by design that KubeVela supports multiple ways to define the schematic. Hence, we will explain `.schematic` field in detail with following guides.

## Application
KubeVela introduces an `Application` CRD as its main API that captures a full application deployment. Every application is composed by multiple components with attachable operational behaviors (traits). For example:
The *Application* is the core API of KubeVela. It allows application team to work with a single artifact to capture the complete application deployment with simplified primitives.
This provides a simpler path for on-boarding application team to the platform without leaking low level details in runtime infrastructure. For example, they will be able to declare a "web service" without defining a detailed Kubernetes Deployment + Service combo each time, or claim the auto-scaling requirements without referring to the underlying KEDA ScaleObject. They can also declare a cloud database with same API if they want.

```
The `Application` resource in KubeVela is a LEGO-style entity and does not even have fixed schema. Instead, it is assembled by below building block entities that are maintained by the platform team.
Though the application object doesn't have fixed schema, it is a composition object assembled by several *programmable building blocks* as shown below.
## Component
The component model in KubeVela is designed to allow *component providers* to encapsulate deployable/provisionable entities by leveraging widely adopted tools such as CUE, Helm etc, and give a easier path to developers to deploy complicated microservices with ease.
Templates based encapsulation is probably the mostly widely used approach to enable efficient application deployment and exposes easier interfaces to end users. For example, many tools today encapsulate Kubernetes *Deployment* and *Service* into a *Web Service* module, and then instantiate this module by simply providing parameters such as *image=foo* and *ports=80*. This pattern can be found in cdk8s (e.g. [`web-service.ts` ](https://github.com/awslabs/cdk8s/blob/master/examples/typescript/web-service/web-service.ts)), CUE (e.g. [`kube.cue`](https://github.com/cuelang/cue/blob/b8b489251a3f9ea318830788794c1b4a753031c0/doc/tutorial/kubernetes/quick/services/kube.cue#L70)), and many widely used Helm charts (e.g. [Web Service](https://docs.bitnami.com/tutorials/create-your-first-helm-chart/)).
The component model (`ComponentDefinition` API) is designed to allow *component providers* to encapsulate deployable/provisionable entities with a wide range of tools, and hence give a easier path to application team to deploy complicated microservices across hybrid environments at ease. A component normally carries its workload type description (i.e. `WorkloadDefinition`), a encapsulation module with a parameter list.
> Hence, a components provider could be anyone who packages software components in form of Helm chart of CUE modules. Think about 3rd-party software distributor, DevOps team, or even your CI pipeline.
In above example, it describes an application composed with Kubernetes stateless workload (component `foo`) and a Alibaba Cloud OSS bucket (component `bar`) alongside.
Components are shareable and reusable. For example, by referencing the same *Alibaba Cloud RDS* component and setting different parameter values, application team could easily provision Alibaba Cloud RDS instances of different sizes in different availability zones.
Application team will use the `Application` entity to declare how they want to instantiate and deploy a group of certain components. In above example, it describes an application composed with Kubernetes stateless workload (component `foo`) and a Alibaba Cloud OSS bucket (component `bar`) alongside.
### How it Works?
@ -99,11 +104,13 @@ spec:
Hence, the `properties` section of `backend` only exposes two parameters to fill: `image` and `cmd`, this is enforced by the `parameter` list of the `.spec.template` field of the definition.
## Traits
Traits are operational features that can be attached to component per needs. Traits are normally considered as platform features and maintained by platform team. In the above example, `type: autoscaler` in `frontend` means the specification (i.e. `properties` section)
of this trait will be enforced by a `TraitDefinition` object named `autoscaler` as below:
Traits (`TraitDefinition` API) are operational features provided by the platform. A trait augments the component instance with operational behaviors such as load balancing policy, network ingress routing, auto-scaling policies, or upgrade strategies, etc.
To attach a trait to component instance, the user will declare `.type` field to reference the specific `TraitDefinition`, and `.properties` field to set property values of the given trait. Similarly, `TraitDefiniton` also allows you to define *template* for operational features.

title: Progressive Rollout
---
`Rollout` or `Upgrade` is one of the most essential "day 2" operation on any application
. KubeVela, as an application centric platform, definitely needs to provide a customized solution
to alleviate the burden on the application operators.
## Overview
There are several attempts at solving this problem in the cloud native community. However, none
of them provide a true rolling style upgrade. For example, flagger supports Blue/Green, Canary
and A/B testing. Therefore, we decide to add support for batch based rolling upgrade as
our first style to support in KubeVela.
### Design Principles and Goals
We design KubeVela rollout solutions with the following principles in mind
- First, we want all flavors of rollout controllers share the same core rollout
related logic. The trait and application related logic can be easily encapsulated into its own
package.
- Second, the core rollout related logic is easily extensible to support different type of
workloads, i.e. Deployment, CloneSet, Statefulset, DaemonSet or even customized workloads.
- Thirdly, the core rollout related logic has a well documented state machine that
does state transition explicitly.
- Finally, the controllers can support all the rollout/upgrade needs of an application running
in a production environment including Blue/Green, Canary and A/B testing.
## AppRollout
Here is a simple `AppRollout` that upgrade an application from v1 to v2 in three batches. The
first batch contains only 1 pod while the rest of the batches split the rest.
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: AppRollout
metadata:
name: rolling-example
spec:
sourceAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v1
targetAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v2
componentList:
- metrics-provider
rolloutPlan:
rolloutStrategy: "IncreaseFirst"
rolloutBatches:
- replicas: 1
- replicas: 50%
- replicas: 50%
batchPartition: 1
```
## User Workflow
Here is the end to end user experience based on Deployment
1. Deploy application to the cluster
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: test-rolling
annotations:
"app.oam.dev/rolling-components": "metrics-provider"
"app.oam.dev/rollout-template": "true"
spec:
components:
- name: metrics-provider
type: worker
properties:
cmd:
- ./podinfo
- stress-cpu=1
image: stefanprodan/podinfo:4.0.6
port: 8080
replicas: 5
```
Verify AppRevision `test-rolling-v1` have generated
```shell
$ kubectl get apprev test-rolling-v1
NAME AGE
test-rolling-v1 9s
```
2. Attach the following rollout plan to upgrade the application to v1
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: AppRollout
metadata:
name: rolling-example
spec:
# application (revision) reference
targetAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v1
componentList:
- metrics-provider
rolloutPlan:
rolloutStrategy: "IncreaseFirst"
rolloutBatches:
- replicas: 10%
- replicas: 40%
- replicas: 50%
targetSize: 5
```
Use can check the status of the ApplicationRollout and wait for the rollout to complete.
3. User can continue to modify the application image tag and apply.This will generate new AppRevision `test-rolling-v2`
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: test-rolling
annotations:
"app.oam.dev/rolling-components": "metrics-provider"
"app.oam.dev/rollout-template": "true"
spec:
components:
- name: metrics-provider
type: worker
properties:
cmd:
- ./podinfo
- stress-cpu=1
image: stefanprodan/podinfo:5.0.2
port: 8080
replicas: 5
```
Verify AppRevision `test-rolling-v2` have generated
```shell
$ kubectl get apprev test-rolling-v2
NAME AGE
test-rolling-v2 7s
```
4. Apply the application rollout that upgrade the application from v1 to v2
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: AppRollout
metadata:
name: rolling-example
spec:
# application (revision) reference
sourceAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v1
targetAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v2
componentList:
- metrics-provider
rolloutPlan:
rolloutStrategy: "IncreaseFirst"
rolloutBatches:
- replicas: 1
- replicas: 2
- replicas: 2
```
User can check the status of the ApplicationRollout and see the rollout completes, and the
ApplicationRollout's "Rolling State" becomes `rolloutSucceed`
### Revert
5. Apply the application rollout that revert the application from v2 to v1
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: AppRollout
metadata:
name: rolling-example
spec:
# application (revision) reference
sourceAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v2
targetAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v1
componentList:
- metrics-provider
rolloutPlan:
rolloutStrategy: "IncreaseFirst"
rolloutBatches:
- replicas: 1
- replicas: 2
- replicas: 2
```
### Skip revision rollout
6. User can apply this yaml continue to modify the application image tag.This will generate new AppRevision `test-rolling-v3`
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
name: test-rolling
annotations:
"app.oam.dev/rolling-components": "metrics-provider"
"app.oam.dev/rollout-template": "true"
spec:
components:
- name: metrics-provider
type: worker
properties:
cmd:
- ./podinfo
- stress-cpu=1
image: stefanprodan/podinfo:5.2.0
port: 8080
replicas: 5
```
Verify AppRevision `test-rolling-v3` have generated
```shell
$ kubectl get apprev test-rolling-v3
NAME AGE
test-rolling-v3 7s
```
7. Apply the application rollout that rollout the application from v1 to v3
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: AppRollout
metadata:
name: rolling-example
spec:
# application (revision) reference
sourceAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v1
targetAppRevisionName: test-rolling-v3
componentList:
- metrics-provider
rolloutPlan:
rolloutStrategy: "IncreaseFirst"
rolloutBatches:
- replicas: 1
- replicas: 2
- replicas: 2
```
