What is Madcore?
------------------

Madcore is a CLI tool for deployment and auto-configuration of data mining and analytics microservices. It is a Kubernetes-based unmodified KOPS/Minikube installation manager. However, single point of truth is preserved as a unified yaml file called "clusterfile". Clusterfile controls generic aspects of provisioning, deployment, scale and configuration. All KOPS and Kubernetes templates are then populated from input clusterfile.


Install
-------

Mac & Linux install form terminal.

.. code-block:: bash

pip install madcore


Minikube Environment Prerequisites
----------------------------------

* Virtual Box
* Minikube 1.9
* Local PC 16GB of Ram (minikube is set at 8GB by default)

AWS Environment Prerequisites
-----------------------------

* VPC in AWS (you will need id)
* Internet Gateway attached to VPC
* S3 Storage bucket for KOPS settings


Provision Locally on Minikube
-----------------------------

Minikube is great but obviously limited by specs of your local machine. You can comment out elements of minikube.yaml to suit your needs. Then when you're ready start provisioning. When you're done, run second command to map *minikube.local* hostname to your new setup.

.. code-block:: bash

madcore --provision minikube.yaml
madcore --mini-hostname


Provision in AWS
----------------

Currently Madcore is tested on Mac and Linux only. We are working on exposing clusterfiles and templates in a better way. By default they install with the python project files location similar to this `lib/python2.7/site-packages/madcore`

.. code-block:: bash

madcore --provision demo.yaml

**AWS POST-INSTALL:**

- Create <yourdomain.com> A record and point it to ingress IP (ingress horizontal scaling above 500MB/s is described in another doc)
- Create wildcard CNAME *.<yourdomain.com> and point it to your above hostname (will automate this eventually)
- Create Security Group in your VPC and whitelist your access IP's, attach it to ingress node (will automate this eventually)


Madcore Data Mining & Deep Learning Ecosystem
---------------------------------------------

Functionality is grouped into instance groups (physically) and into namespaces (logically). Each software deployed here belongs to their respective owners. We do not interfere in containers but make sure that we find best containers for deployment in Kubernetes.

Goal of Madcore is to abstract deployment and configuration of data processing elements and have it available in working state out-of-the-box. This way anyone can start work on their actual problem and not spend time on deployment and configuration of common toolsets.

.. code-block:: text

usage: ./madcore.py [-h]
[-p CLUSTERFILE | -c CLUSTERFILE | --destroy | --kops-update | --kops-validate | --kubectl-use-context | --mini-hostname | --get-attr ATTR | --install-core | --install-elk | --install-neo4j | --install-kafka | --install-flink]

Deploy Core
-----------

Installation of core elements is a single command. Filenames in range of 100-200. You can comment out any of those installs. By commenting corresponding lines in your aws clusterfile. Registry and metrics elements are optional. You probably want to leave dashboard and ingress setup as everything else maps to it.

.. code-block:: bash

madcore --install-core

:target: https://asciinema.org/a/179330


================ =====
Core Stack Description
================ =====
dashboard Kubernetes Dashboard
nfs NFS 4.1 for utilized for Kubernetes persistent volume claims (StatefulSets)
registry2 (optional) docker registry v2
influxdb InfluxDB for Heapster data
heapster Kubernetes metrics collector
grafana Grafana Dashboard pointed at InfluxDB for kube metrics
haproxy-ingress HAProxy ingress (route external traffic and map to kube services)
ingress-default default container reporting 404 when hitting anything but mapped endpoints
ingress echo echo container to test ingress alive
================ =====

* DASHBOARD - https://api.<yourdomain.com>/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kubernetes-dashboard/proxy/ or type *minikube dahsboard*
* GRAFANA - http://grafana.<yourdomain.com> or http://grafana.minikube.local

Deploy neo4j
------------

Neo4j and Dashboard is in the template file space of 9220-9229. Deploy using command below. Few second later you will have a working dashboard and single pod engine configuration ready to start your tests. Thi deployment is installed onto standard `nodes` instancegroup. This deployment lives its own `neo4j` namespace. It's easy to remove it when you don't require it anymore. It using standard `neo4j:3.1.4-enterprise` containers from docker hub maintainer by neo4j team. It is exposed through ingress and mapped through its own subodmain `neo4j.<yourdomain.com>`

.. code-block:: bash

madcore --install-neo4j

================ =====
Neo4J Stack Description
================ =====
engine Enterprise: neo4j:3.1.4-enterprise (subject to EULA)
ui Dashboard
================ =====

* Neo4j Browser - http://neo4j.<yourdomain.com> or http://neo4j.minikube.local


Deploy kafka
------------

Kafka and Dashboard is in the template file space of 9240-9249. Deploy using command below. Few second later you will have a working dashboard and single pod engine configuration ready to start your tests. Thi deployment is installed onto standard `nodes` instancegroup. This deployment lives its own `kafka` namespace. It's easy to remove it when you don't require it anymore. It is exposed through ingress and mapped through its own subodmain `kafka.<yourdomain.com>` for Yahoo kafka dashboard and `kafka.<yourdomain.com>/rest` for Mailgun Pixy rest ui (grpc is listening internally but not exposed outside)

.. code-block:: bash

madcore --install-kafka

Deploy Elasticsearch / FluentD / Kibana
---------------------------------------

Famous trio optimized for Kubernetes. Elasticsearch exposed through ingress as well as Kibana. Internally FluentD DaemonSets are deployed to ALL nodes and collect all logs from pods stdout along with kubernetes logs and aggregate in ElasticSearch. Deploy this when you have a need. There is a dedicated instance group for ELK so it doesn't collide with any of your other applications.
