Google Cloud Platform extension for the Chaos Toolkit

Chaos Toolkit Extension for Google Cloud Platform

This project is a collection of actions and probes, gathered as an extension to the Chaos Toolkit. It targets the Google Cloud Platform.

Install

This package requires Python 3.7+

To be used from your experiment, this package must be installed in the Python environment where chaostoolkit already lives.

$ pip install --prefer-binary -U chaostoolkit-google-cloud-platform

Usage

To use the probes and actions from this package, add the following to your experiment file:

{
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "title": "create and delete a cloud run service",
    "description": "n/a",
    "secrets": {
        "gcp": {
            "service_account_file": "service_account.json"
        }
    },
    "method": [
        {
            "name": "create-cloud-run-service",
            "type": "action",
            "provider": {
                "type": "python",
                "module": "chaosgcp.cloudrun.actions",
                "func": "create_service",
                "secrets": ["gcp"],
                "arguments": {
                    "parent": "projects/.../locations/...",
                    "service_id": "demo",
                    "container": {
                        "name": "demo",
                        "image": "gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:1.0"
                    }
                }
            }
        },
        {
            "name": "delete-cloud-run-service",
            "type": "action",
            "provider": {
                "type": "python",
                "module": "chaosgcp.cloudrun.actions",
                "func": "delete_service",
                "secrets": ["gcp"],
                "arguments": {
                    "parent": "projects/.../locations/.../services/demo"
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

That's it!

Please explore the code to see existing probes and actions.

Configuration

Project and Cluster Information

You can pass the context via the configuration section of your experiment:

{
    "configuration": {
        "gcp_project_id": "...",
        "gcp_gke_cluster_name": "...",
        "gcp_region": "...",
        "gcp_zone": "..."
    }
}

This is only valuable when you want to reuse the same context everywhere. A finer approach is to set the the parent argument on activities that support it. It should be of the form projects/*/locations/* or projects/*/locations/*/clusters/*, where location is either a region or a zone, depending on the context and defined by the GCP API.

When provided, this takes precedence over the context defined in the configuration. In some cases, it also means you do not need to pass the values in the configuration at all as the extension will derive the context from the parent value.

Credentials

This extension expects a service account with enough permissions to perform its operations. Please create such a service account manually (do not use the default one for your cluster if you can, so you'll be able to delete that service account if need be).

Once you have created your service account, either keep the file on the same machine where you will be running the experiment from. Or, pass its content as part of the secrets section, although this is not recommended because your sensitive data will be quite visible.

Here is the first way:

{
    "secrets": {
        "gcp": {
            "service_account_file": "/path/to/sa.json"
        }
    }
}

You can also use the well-known GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variables. iI that case, you do not need to set any secrets in the experiment.

While the embedded way looks like this:

{
    "secrets": {
        "k8s": {
            "KUBERNETES_CONTEXT": "..."
        },
        "gcp": {
            "service_account_info": {
                "type": "service_account",
                "project_id": "...",
                "private_key_id": "...",
                "private_key": "...",
                "client_email": "...",
                "client_id": "...",
                "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
                "token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token",
                "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
                "client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/...."
            }
        }
    }
}

Notice also how we provided here the k8s entry. This is only because, in our example we use the swap_nodepool action which drains the Kubernetes nodes and it requires the Kubernetes cluster credentials to work. These are documented in the Kubernetes extension for Chaos Toolkit. This is the only action that requires such a secret payload, others only speak to the GCP API.

Putting it all together

Here is a full example which creates a node pool then swap it for a new one.

Migrate from GCE extension

If you previously used the deprecated GCE extension, here is a quick recap of changes you'll need to go through to update your experiments.

• The module chaosgce.nodepool.actions has been replaced by chaosgcp.gke.nodepool.actions. You will need to update the module key for the python providers.
• The configuration keys in the configuration section have been renamed accordingly:
  • "gce_project_id" -> "gcp_project_id"
  • "gce_region" -> "gcp_region"
  • "gce_zone" -> "gcp_zone"
  • "gce_cluster_name" -> "gcp_gke_cluster_name"

Contribute

If you wish to contribute more functions to this package, you are more than welcome to do so. Please, fork this project, make your changes following the usual PEP 8 code style, sprinkling with tests and submit a PR for review.

The Chaos Toolkit projects require all contributors must sign a Developer Certificate of Origin on each commit they would like to merge into the master branch of the repository. Please, make sure you can abide by the rules of the DCO before submitting a PR.

If you wish to add a new function to this extension, that is related to a Google Cloud product that is not available yet in this package, please use the product short name or acronym as a first level subpackage (eg. iam, gke, sql, storage, ...). See the list of [GCP products and services][gcp_products].

Develop

If you wish to develop on this project, make sure to install the development dependencies. But first, create a virtual environment and then install those dependencies.

$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt -r requirements.txt 

Then, point your environment to this directory:

$ python setup.py develop

Now, you can edit the files and they will be automatically be seen by your environment, even when running from the chaos command locally.

Test

To run the tests for the project execute the following:

$ pytest
