Version: v1.0

This document demonstrates how to install Yurt-Device-Controller,Yurt-EdgeX-Manager, and manage edge leaf devices via cloud native style based on virtual devices.

For more details about these two components, please refer to Yurt-Device-Controller, Yurt-EdgeX-Manager

If you don't have an OpenYurt on hand, you can use yurtctl to create one or convert from an exist Kubernetes cluster.

Environment

  • OpenYurt v0.5.0+

  • You should first install Yurt-app-manager.

  • Deploy CoreDNS for every edge node

  • Set ServiceTopology to kubernetes.io/hostname for CoreDNS service. For details, please refer to ServiceTopology

1. install yurt-edgex-manager and create an EdgeX insatnce

install yurt-edgex-manager

$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/openyurtio/yurt-edgex-manager/releases/download/v0.2.0/yurt-edgex-manager.yaml

# check status of yurt-edgex-manager
$ kubectl get pods -n edgex-system |grep edgex
edgex-controller-manager-6c99fd9f9f-b9nnk 2/2 Running 0 6d22h

Create a nodepool named hangzhou, join node into this nodepool.

$ export WORKER_NODEPOOL="hangzhou"
$ export EDGE_NODE="node1"

# create nodepool hangzhou
$ cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: apps.openyurt.io/v1alpha1
kind: NodePool
metadata:
name: $WORKER_NODEPOOL
spec:
type: Edge
EOF

# join edge node into nodepool hangzhou
$ kubectl label node $EDGE_NODE apps.openyurt.io/desired-nodepool=hangzhou

# check node status
$ kubectl get nodepool
NAME TYPE READYNODES NOTREADYNODES AGE
hangzhou Edge 0 1 6d22h

create EdgeX Foundry instance in nodepool hangzhou and deploy edgex-device-virtual

check EdgeX instance status

$ kubectl get edgex
NAME READY SERVICE READYSERVICE DEPLOYMENT READYDEPLOYMENT
edgex-sample-hangzhou true 9 9 9 9

2. install yurt-device-controller

install CRDs of yurt-device-controller

$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openyurtio/yurt-device-controller/main/config/setup/crd.yaml

use UnitedDeployment to deploy yurt-device-controller instance in nodepool hangzhou. It should be pointed out that we use cluster-admin ClusterRole just for demo purpose

check whether yurt-device-controller has been deployed successful

$ kubectl get pod |grep yurt-device-controller
yurt-device-controller-xxxxxx-sf7xz-79c9cbf4b7-mbfds 1/1 Running 0 6d22h

3. Check virtual devices synced from EdgeX

The device-virtual-go driver will automatically create and register 5 virtual devices of different kinds upon start, yurt-device-controller will then sync them to OpenYurt. You can use kubectl to check it:

$ kubectl get device
NAME NODEPOOL SYNCED AGE
hangzhou-random-binary-device hangzhou true 19h
hangzhou-random-boolean-device hangzhou true 19h
hangzhou-random-float-device hangzhou true 19h
hangzhou-random-integer-device hangzhou true 19h
hangzhou-random-unsignedinteger-device hangzhou true 19h

4. Uninstall and cleanup

$ export WORKER_NODEPOOL="hangzhou"
$ export EDGE_NODE="node1"

# 1.1 delete all device, deviceservice, deviceprofile资源
$ kubectl delete device --all
$ kubectl delete deviceprofile --all
$ kubectl delete deviceservice --all

# 1.2 uninstall yurt-device-controller
$ kubectl delete uniteddeployment yurt-device-controller
$ kubectl delete clusterrolebinding ud-rolebinding

# 1.3 delete CRDs of yurt-device-controller
$ kubectl delete -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openyurtio/yurt-device-controller/main/config/setup/crd.yaml

# 2.1 delete EdgeX instance
$ kubectl delete edgex --all

# 2.2 uninstall yurt-edgex-manager
$ kubectl delete -f https://github.com/openyurtio/yurt-edgex-manager/releases/download/v0.2.0/yurt-edgex-manager.yaml

# (optional)
# 3.1 remove node from nodepool
$ kubectl label node $EDGE_NODE apps.openyurt.io/desired-nodepool-
# 3.2 delete nodepool
$ kubectl delete nodepool $WORKER_NODEPOOL
