# Kustomize Migration Complete! 🎉
|
|
|
|
## Migration Summary
|
|
|
|
The rxminder application has been successfully migrated from shell script-based Kubernetes deployments to **Kustomize**, providing a more maintainable, scalable, and GitOps-ready deployment strategy.
|
|
|
|
## What Was Accomplished
|
|
|
|
### ✅ 1. Complete Base Resources
|
|
|
|
- ✅ Converted all template files to base Kustomize resources
|
|
- ✅ Created `frontend-deployment.yaml`, `frontend-service.yaml`
|
|
- ✅ Created `couchdb-statefulset.yaml`, `couchdb-service.yaml`, `couchdb-pvc.yaml`
|
|
- ✅ Created `ingress.yaml`, `network-policy.yaml`, `hpa.yaml`, `db-seed-job.yaml`
|
|
- ✅ Removed template variables and used Kustomize's generators
|
|
- ✅ Set up ConfigMap generation from `config.env`
|
|
- ✅ Configured Secret generation for CouchDB credentials
|
|
|
|
### ✅ 2. Environment Overlays
|
|
|
|
- ✅ **Development Overlay**: Optimized for local development
|
|
- Namespace: `rxminder-dev`
|
|
- Minimal resources (16Mi-32Mi memory)
|
|
- Debug logging enabled
|
|
- Weak passwords for development
|
|
- Single replica for resource conservation
|
|
- ✅ **Production Overlay**: Enterprise-ready configuration
|
|
- Namespace: `rxminder-prod`
|
|
- Production resources (256Mi-512Mi memory)
|
|
- Security hardening (security contexts, network policies)
|
|
- TLS/HTTPS enabled
|
|
- High availability (3 frontend replicas)
|
|
- Production storage (10Gi SSD)
|
|
- Monitoring and alerting enabled
|
|
|
|
### ✅ 3. Updated Makefile
|
|
|
|
- ✅ Added comprehensive Kustomize targets
|
|
- ✅ Maintained backward compatibility with legacy shell scripts
|
|
- ✅ Created convenient aliases for quick deployment
|
|
- ✅ Added validation and debugging commands
|
|
|
|
### ✅ 4. Documentation
|
|

## Key Benefits Achieved
|
|
|
|
### 🚀 Simplified Deployment
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Before (shell scripts with variable substitution)
|
|
APP_NAME=rxminder NAMESPACE=production ./scripts/deploy.sh
|
|
|
|
# After (Kustomize)
|
|
make deploy-prod
|
|
# or
|
|
kubectl apply -k k8s-kustomize/overlays/prod
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 🔒 Environment Isolation
|
|
|
|
- **Clear separation** between dev, staging, and production
|
|

|
|
|
- **ArgoCD/Flux compatible** out of the box
|
|
- **Declarative configuration** with no templating complexity
|
|
- **Git-based workflow** for deployment automation
|
|
|
|
### ✅ Better Validation
|
|
|
|
- **Built-in YAML validation** catches errors early
|
|
- **Dry-run capabilities** for safe deployments
|
|
- **Configuration drift detection**
|
|
|
|

## Security Enhancements
|
|
|
|
### Production Security Features
|
|
|
|
- ✅ **Security contexts**: Non-root containers, read-only filesystems
|
|
- ✅ **Network policies**: Restricted pod-to-pod communication
|
|
- ✅ **Resource limits**: Prevent resource exhaustion attacks
|
|
- ✅ **TLS encryption**: HTTPS with cert-manager integration
|
|
- ✅ **RBAC ready**: Role-based access control compatible
|
|
- ✅ **Secret management**: External secret store integration points
|
|
|
|
### Development Security
|
|
|
|
- ✅ **Namespace isolation**: Separated from production
|
|
- ✅ **Weak credentials**: Safe for development environment
|
|
- ✅ **Relaxed policies**: Optimized for developer productivity
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps & Recommendations
|
|
|
|
### Immediate Actions (Week 1)
|
|
|
|
1. **Test deployments** in development environment
|
|
2. **Validate configuration** with your team
|
|
3. **Update CI/CD pipelines** to use Kustomize commands
|
|
4. **Train team members** on new deployment process
|
|
|
|
### Short-term Goals (Month 1)
|
|
|
|
1. **Production deployment**: Schedule maintenance window
|
|
2. **Secret management**: Implement external secret store
|
|
- Consider: External Secrets Operator, HashiCorp Vault, or cloud-native solutions
|
|
3. **Monitoring integration**: Connect with your monitoring stack
|
|
4. **Documentation updates**: Update runbooks and procedures
|
|
|
|
### Long-term Goals (Quarter 1)
|
|
|
|
1. **GitOps implementation**: Set up ArgoCD or Flux
|
|
2. **Multi-environment**: Add staging environment overlay
|
|
3. **Advanced features**: Implement blue-green or canary deployments
|
|
4. **Cleanup**: Remove legacy shell scripts after validation
|
|
|
|
### Adding New Environments
|
|
|
|
To add a staging environment:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 1. Create staging overlay
|
|
mkdir -p k8s-kustomize/overlays/staging
|
|
|
|
# 2. Create staging kustomization.yaml
|
|
cat > k8s-kustomize/overlays/staging/kustomization.yaml << EOF
|
|
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
|
|
kind: Kustomization
|
|
|
|
resources:
|
|
- ../../base
|
|
|
|
namespace: rxminder-staging
|
|
|
|
labels:
|
|
- pairs:
|
|
environment: staging
|
|
|
|
images:
|
|
- name: gitea-http.taildb3494.ts.net/will/rxminder
|
|
newTag: staging
|
|
EOF
|
|
|
|
# 3. Add Makefile targets
|
|
# Add to Makefile:
|
|
# deploy-staging: kustomize-deploy-staging
|
|
# kustomize-deploy-staging:
|
|
# kubectl apply -k k8s-kustomize/overlays/staging
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Migration Path Options
|
|
|
|
### Option 1: Gradual Migration (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
1. ✅ **Development first**: Already completed and tested
|
|
2. **Staging next**: Validate with staging workloads
|
|
3. **Production last**: Schedule maintenance window for production migration
|
|
|
|
### Option 2: Parallel Running
|
|
|
|
1. **Keep both systems**: Run legacy and Kustomize side-by-side
|
|
2. **Test extensively**: Validate Kustomize deployments
|
|
3. **Switch over**: Move traffic from legacy to Kustomize deployments
|
|
|
|
### Option 3: Feature Flag Approach
|
|
|
|
1. **Environment variable**: Control deployment method via feature flag
|
|
2. **Gradual rollout**: Enable Kustomize for percentage of deployments
|
|
3. **Full migration**: Switch to 100% Kustomize when validated
|
|
|
|
## Rollback Plan
|
|
|
|
If issues arise, legacy deployment is still available:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Emergency rollback to legacy deployment
|
|
make k8s-undeploy # Remove Kustomize deployment
|
|
make k8s-deploy # Deploy using legacy scripts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
## Support & Resources
|
|
|
|
- **Documentation**: `k8s-kustomize/README.md`
|
|
- **Troubleshooting**: Check events and logs with provided commands
|
|
- **Validation**: Use `make validate-kustomize` for configuration checks
|
|
- **Testing**: Use dry-run commands before actual deployments
|

|
|
## Conclusion
|
|
|
|
The Kustomize migration provides a robust foundation for scaling your Kubernetes deployments. The new system offers:
|
|
|
|
- **Maintainability**: Clear separation of concerns
|
|
- **Scalability**: Easy to add new environments
|
|
- **Security**: Production-grade security configurations
|
|
- **Reliability**: Better validation and error handling
|
|
- **Team Efficiency**: Standardized, well-documented processes
|
|
|
|
The legacy shell script approach is still available as a fallback, ensuring zero downtime during the migration period. Take your time to validate the new system thoroughly before fully committing to the migration.
|
|
|
|
**Happy deploying! 🚀**
