Hello Erik,

Thank you for your inputs.
However, while trying to update the label for my Nodes, here is what I get:

[cid:[email protected]]

labels are single key/value pairs. You are trying to add an additional zone 
label without specifying --overwrite. You cannot have multiple values for the 
same key.

Same thing if I try to update my pods’ labels.

Changing a pod label is not what you want to do. You want to change the pod 
nodeselector.

>  Yes I guess that is what I will have to change

Yes.

For the NodeSelector, where can I find the pod configuration file, for me to 
specify the Node,  please?
Is it in the master-config.yaml file?

master-config.yaml is the master configuration, not a "pod configuration". "pod 
configuration" is kind of a strange statement. You probably mean "pod 
definition".

>  By « pod definition », do you mean the pod yaml file?

That is one example, yes.


We'll ignore nodeselector and master-config because while it's a thing, it 
won't do what you want. If you're interested, docs here: 
https://docs.openshift.org/latest/admin_guide/managing_projects.html#setting-the-cluster-wide-default-node-selector.

If the defaultNodeSelector is set, and you didn't somehow change it in the 
project, then the default node selector will *always* be applied, in addition 
to any pod-specific node selector. Whether that default nodeSelector is for 
"region", "zone", or any other arbitrary key/value pair is not relevant. The 
default is the default.

I think you meant to ask "if the default... is set for a region... does that 
mean the pods will always be placed". Not "never". Why would the selector mean 
never? That sounds more like an anti-selector...

 Always… yes, sorry, my bad

What you want to change is the pod nodeselector. I linked to the docs:

https://docs.openshift.org/latest/dev_guide/deployments.html#assigning-pods-to-specific-nodes

>  Just to make sure ; by setting a value to the « nodeSelector », will that

If you set a value for the nodeSelector your pod will attempt to be scheduled 
on nodes who have labels that match.

If you want to run a pod on a specific node I believe there is also a way to 
select a specific node by its hostname. It's in the docs somewhere.
Ok thanks

I don't know how you created your pods, so how you change/add nodeselector 
depends.

Yes, so you have a deployment config that causes a replication controller to be 
created that then causes a pod to be created. As per below, "new-app" / "add to 
project" are basically the same thing. One is the UI and one is the CLI.
Oh ok I see.

I don't understand your question. The number of pods is the number of pods. 
What do you mean by "the application's 'versions'"?
What I meant by application’s versions is a sort of ‘A/B testing’. That is 
because I was wondering how does the HA work. As in, when a pod goes down, how 
is another pod regenerated by the replication controller to make the App still 
running?

Since you have builds, I am guessing that you used something like "new-app". 
new-app will have created a deploymentconfig. You would want to edit the 
deploymentconfig, find the pod template, and then add the nodeselector as shown 
in the docs above.


Thank you!

Olga

Hello all,

I am done with my origin advanced installation (thanks to your useful help) 
which architecture is composed of 4 virtualized servers (on the same network):

-       1  Master

-       2 Nodes

-       1 VM hosting Ansible

My next steps are to implement/test some use cases with a three-tier App(each 
App’s tier being hosted on a different VM):

-       The horizontal scalability;

-       The load-balancing of the Nodes : Keep the system running even if one 
of the VMs goes down;

-       App’s monitoring using Origin API: Allow the Origin API to “tell” the 
App on which VM is hosted each tier. (I still don’t know how to test that 
though…)

There are some notions that are still not clear to me:

-       From my web console, how can I know on which Node has my App been 
deployed?

If you look in the Browse -> Pods -> select a pod, you should see the node 
where the pod is running.


-       How can I put each component of my App on a separated Node?

-       How does the “zones” concept in origin work?

These two are closely related.

1) In your case it sounds like you would want a zone for each tier: appserver, 
web server, db
2) This would require a node with a label of, for example, zone=appserver
3) When you create your pod (or replication controller, or deployment config) 
you would want to specify, via a nodeselector, which zone you want the pod(s) 
to land in

This stuff is scattered throughout the docs:

https://docs.openshift.org/latest/admin_guide/manage_nodes.html#updating-labels-on-nodes
https://docs.openshift.org/latest/dev_guide/deployments.html#assigning-pods-to-specific-nodes

I hope this helps.


Content of /etc/ansible/hosts of my Ansible hosting VM:
[masters]
sv5305.selfdeploy.loc
# host group for nodes, includes region info
[nodes]
sv5305.selfdeploy.loc openshift_node_labels="{'region': 'infra', 'zone': 
'default'}" openshift_schedulable=false
sv5306.selfdeploy.loc openshift_node_labels="{'region': 'primary', 'zone': 
'east'}"
sv5307.selfdeploy.loc openshift_node_labels="{'region': 'primary', 'zone': 
'west'}"

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Olga
