|
| 14 | +== Context and Problem Statement |
| 15 | +Currently users have to specify the full image tag in the Products CRD. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +[source,yaml] |
| 18 | +---- |
| 19 | +spec: |
| 20 | + version: 1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 |
| 21 | +---- |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +This must be a tag belonging to an image from the stackable repository. In order to give the user the opportunity to provide a own repository, mirror our repository or provide a complete own image, we'd like to propose a solution for it. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +== Decision Drivers |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +* Flexible and extendable solution for possible use cases |
| 28 | +* Preserve the possibility of magic version completion of operators for images (e.g. `superset:1.4.1` => `superset:1.4.1-stackable2.1.0`) |
| 29 | +* Allow the user to easily paste in a complete image name |
| 30 | +* Allow users to use some defaults, allow them to only override certain things |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +In detail we used the following use-cases to drive the decision: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +* use Stackable repo |
| 35 | +** users specified version 1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 |
| 36 | +=> operator should use image docker.stackable.tech/stackable/superset:1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 |
| 37 | +** users specified version 1.4.1 |
| 38 | +=> operator should use image docker.stackable.tech/stackable/superset:1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 based on compatibility knowledge (which operator works with which image) |
| 39 | +** users specifies no version |
| 40 | +=> operator should use image docker.stackable.tech/stackable/superset:1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 based on recommended product version of the release/operator and knowledge (which operator works with which image) |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +* use self-hosted (mirrored) repo |
| 43 | +** users specified version 1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 and imageRepository my.corp/superset |
| 44 | +=> operator should use image my.corp/superset:1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 based on imageRepository |
| 45 | +=> Equivalent to user saying use the image "my.corp/superset:1.4.1-stackable2.1.0" |
| 46 | +** users specified version 1.4.1 and imageRepository my.corp/superset |
| 47 | +=> operator should use image my.corp/superset:1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 based on imageRepository and compatibility knowledge (which operator works with which image) |
| 48 | +=> Equivalent to user saying use the image "my.corp/superset:1.4.1-stackable2.1.0" |
| 49 | +=> NOT equivalent to user saying use the image "my.corp/superset:1.4.1" |
| 50 | +=> When specifying the image directly users loose the ability to let the operator determine its compatible stackable image version |
| 51 | +** user just specifies a repo: my.corp/superset with no versions -> operator should use image my.corp/superset:1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 based on recommended product version of the release/operator and knowledge (which operator works with which image) |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +== Decision Outcome |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +Chosen option: "<<option6,Option 6>>" because it is the only option to cover all use cases. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +== Pros and Cons of the Options |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +=== Option 1 |
| 61 | +[source,yaml] |
| 62 | +---- |
| 63 | +version: 1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 # optional (currently operator will error out but in the future according to ADR 18 operator should pick a good version automatically) |
| 64 | +imageRepository: docker.stackable.tech/stackable/superset # Option<String> |
| 65 | +---- |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +* Good, because it's non-breaking |
| 68 | +* Good, because users can specify `version: 1.4.1` and the operator will resolve it to `1.4.1-stackable2.1.0` (or whatever stackable versions works for *him*). This mechanism continues working. For this to work the customers needs to mirror the exact same tags as we at Stackable have (he can't rename the tags). |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +=== Option 2 |
| 71 | +[source,yaml] |
| 72 | +---- |
| 73 | +version: 1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 # optional (currently operator will error out but in the future according to ADR 18 operator should pick a good version automatically) |
| 74 | +image: docker.stackable.tech/stackable/superset:1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 # Option<String>. Will overwrite version (if specified) |
| 75 | +---- |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +* Good, because it's non-breaking because mechanism from Option 1 is not implemented yet |
| 78 | +* Bad, because mechanism explain in Option 1 breaks. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +=== Option 3 |
| 81 | +[source,yaml] |
| 82 | +---- |
| 83 | +image: |
| 84 | + version: 1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 # optional (currently operator will error out but in the future according to ADR 18 operator should pick a good version automatically) |
| 85 | + imageRepository: docker.stackable.tech/stackable/superset # Option<String> |
| 86 | +---- |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +* Bad, because it's breaking |
| 89 | +* Bad, because versions can only contain the product version (e.g. `1.4.1`). Having this "hidden" under image may seem like an implementation detail to the user. It can be argued that version is important enough to be a top-level field. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +=== Option 4 |
| 92 | +[source,yaml] |
| 93 | +---- |
| 94 | +version: 1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 # optional (currently operator will error out but in the future according to ADR 18 operator should pick a good version automatically) |
| 95 | +imageOverwrite: # Option<struct> |
| 96 | + repository: docker.stackable.tech/stackable/superset # String |
| 97 | + tag: 1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 # Option<String>. Will overwrite tag (the specified version is ignored/overwritten) |
| 98 | +---- |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +* Good, because it's non-breaking |
| 101 | +* Good, because when only `imageOverwrite.repository` is specified, it's the same as option 1 with all the benefits |
| 102 | +* Good, because when `imageOverwrite.repository` and `imageOverwrite.tag` is specified, it's the same as option 2 with all the benefits |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +[[option5]] |
| 105 | +=== Option 5 |
| 106 | +[source,yaml] |
| 107 | +---- |
| 108 | +image: # mandatory complex enum |
| 109 | + stackableImageTag: 1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 # String |
| 110 | + # OR |
| 111 | + custom: docker.stackable.tech/stackable/superset:1.4.1-stackable2.1.0 # String |
| 112 | + # OR (later on) |
| 113 | + stackableVersion: 1.4.1 # String |
| 114 | + # OR (later on) |
| 115 | + recommendedVersion: true # needs to be set to true. if set to false operator will error out |
| 116 | +---- |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +We want to start with the first two variants `stackableImageTag` and `custom`. The `magicVersionResolving` and `recommendedVersion` variants _might_ be added later on. |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +* Bad, because it's breaking |
| 121 | +* Good, because it gives all flexibility of all previous options |
| 122 | +* Good, because we can non-breaking introduce new "magic" in the future by adding new image enum variants |
| 123 | +* Good, because we can implement it as enum called e.g. `ImageSpec` in operator-rs which will offer a function like `resolve_image` that will make it easy for operators to use |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +[[option6]] |
| 126 | +=== Option 6 |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +This option is **breaking**. It uses a complex enum, similar to Option 5. Option 5 does not account for the need to specify the product version with a custom image. It is also not possible to just use a custom docker repository and still use the operator recommended version (i.e. just mirroring the stackable repository). This option makes that possible. We first start with implementing `stackableVersion` and `custom`. The `stackable` enum variant will be implemented as soon as we have the magic stackableVersion resolution. |

| 130 | +[source,yaml] |
| 131 | +---- |
| 132 | +image: # complex enum |
| 133 | + stackableVersion: # (1) |
| 134 | + repo: docker.stackable.tech # String. Defaults to docker.stackable.tech (kind of optional). |
| 135 | + productVersion: 1.4.1 # mandatory |
| 136 | + stackableVersion: stackable2.1.0 # mandatory |
| 137 | + # OR |
| 138 | + stackable: # (2) |
| 139 | + repo: docker.stackable.tech # String. Defaults to docker.stackable.tech (kind of optional). |
| 140 | + productVersion: 1.4.1 # Option<String>. If not specified use recommended product version ("magic"). |
| 141 | + # OR |
| 142 | + custom: # (3) |
| 143 | + productVersion: 1.4.1 |
| 144 | + custom: docker.stackable.tech/stackable/superset:1.4.1-stackable2.1 |
| 145 | +

| 146 | + pullPolicy: IfNotPresent |
| 147 | + pullSecrets: # Option<Vec<LocalObjectReference>> |
| 148 | + name: regcred # reference to secret in same namespace |
| 149 | +---- |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +**Known issues**: We will start to implement our own schema since kube-rs is not supporting flatten yet. |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +**Use-case**: I don't want to specify anything, just give me defaults! |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +-> Don't specify anything. |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +**Use-case**: I want a specific version of the product: |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +[source,yaml] |
| 160 | +---- |
| 161 | +image: |
| 162 | + productVersion: 1.5.1 |
| 163 | +---- |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +This resolves to the enum variant 2, with just the product version specified |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +**Use-case**: I've mirrored the stackable repo locally, but want to use automatic image resolution: |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +[source,yaml] |
| 170 | +---- |
| 171 | +image: |
| 172 | + repo: my.repo.company.org/stackable |
| 173 | +---- |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +This resolves to variant 2. |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +**Use-case**: I have built my own custom image with i.e. additional dependencies for the product, which has a different tag than the original stackable image. I've uploaded it to my custom repo: |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | +[source,yaml] |
| 180 | +---- |
| 181 | +image: |
| 182 | + custom: my.repo.company.org/stackable/superset:my-custom-tag |
| 183 | + productVersion: 1.4.1 |
| 184 | +---- |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +This resolves to enum variant 3. The product version is mandatory so the operator knows what to do. |
