Danube Cluster Helm Chart

This Helm chart deploys the Danube Cluster with ETCD as metadata storage in the same namespace.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.19+
• Helm 3.2.0+

Installation

Add Helm Repository

First, add the repository to your Helm client:

helm repo add danube https://danrusei.github.io/danube_helm
helm repo update

Install the Helm Chart

You can install the chart with the release name my-danube-cluster using the following command:

helm install my-danube-cluster danube/danube-helm-chart

This will deploy the Danube Broker and an ETCD instance with the default configuration.

Configuration

ETCD Configuration

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the ETCD chart and their default values.

Parameter	Description	Default
etcd.enabled	Enable or disable ETCD deployment	true
etcd.replicaCount	Number of ETCD instances	1
etcd.image.repository	ETCD image repository	bitnami/etcd
etcd.image.tag	ETCD image tag	latest
etcd.image.pullPolicy	ETCD image pull policy	IfNotPresent
etcd.service.type	ETCD service type	ClusterIP
etcd.service.port	ETCD service port	2379

Broker Configuration

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the Danube Broker chart and their default values.

Parameter	Description	Default
broker.replicaCount	Number of broker instances	1
broker.image.repository	Broker image repository	ghcr.io/your-username/danube-broker
broker.image.tag	Broker image tag	latest
broker.image.pullPolicy	Broker image pull policy	IfNotPresent
broker.service.type	Broker service type	ClusterIP
broker.service.port	Broker service port	6650
broker.resources.limits.cpu	CPU limit for broker container	500m
broker.resources.limits.memory	Memory limit for broker container	512Mi
broker.resources.requests.cpu	CPU request for broker container	200m
broker.resources.requests.memory	Memory request for broker container	256Mi
broker.env.RUST_LOG	Rust log level for broker	danube_broker=trace
broker.brokerAddr	Broker address	0.0.0.0:6650
broker.clusterName	Cluster name	MY_CLUSTER
broker.metaStoreAddr	Metadata store address	etcd:2379

You can override the default values by providing a custom values.yaml file:

helm install my-danube-cluster danube/danube-helm-chart -f custom-values.yaml

Alternatively, you can specify individual values using the --set flag:

helm install my-danube-cluster danube/danube-helm-chart --set broker.replicaCount=2 --set broker.brokerAddr="0.0.0.0:6651"

Resource consideration

Pay attention to resource allocation, the default configuration is just OK for testing.

For production environment you may want to increase.

Sizing for Production

Small to Medium Load:

CPU Requests: 500m to 1 CPU CPU Limits: 1 CPU to 2 CPUs Memory Requests: 512Mi to 1Gi Memory Limits: 1Gi to 2Gi

Heavy Load: CPU Requests: 1 CPU to 2 CPUs CPU Limits: 2 CPUs to 4 CPUs Memory Requests: 1Gi to 2Gi Memory Limits: 2Gi to 4Gi

Uninstallation

To uninstall the my-danube-cluster release:

helm uninstall my-danube-cluster

This command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Troubleshooting

To get the status of the ETCD and Broker pods:

kubectl get pods -l app=etcd
kubectl get pods -l app=broker

To view the logs of a specific broker pod:

kubectl logs <broker-pod-name>
