ProxySQLOpsRequest

What is ProxySQLOpsRequest

ProxySQLOpsRequest is a Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRD). It provides a declarative configuration for ProxySQL administrative operations like database version updating, horizontal scaling, vertical scaling,reconfiguration etc. in a Kubernetes native way.

ProxySQLOpsRequest CRD Specifications

Like any official Kubernetes resource, a ProxySQLOpsRequest has TypeMeta, ObjectMeta, Spec and Status sections.

Here, some sample ProxySQLOpsRequest CRs for different administrative operations is given below:

Here, we are going to describe the various sections of a ProxySQLOpsRequest crd.

A ProxySQLOpsRequest object has the following fields in the spec section.

spec.proxyRef

spec.proxyRef is a required field that point to the ProxySQL object for which the administrative operations will be performed. This field consists of the following sub-field:

• spec.proxyRef.name : specifies the name of the ProxySQL object.

spec.type

spec.type specifies the kind of operation that will be applied to the database. Currently, the following types of operations are allowed in ProxySQLOpsRequest.

• UpdateVersion
• HorizontalScaling
• VerticalScaling
• Reconfigure
• ReconfigureTLS
• Restart

You can perform only one type of operation on a single ProxySQLOpsRequest CR. For example, if you want to update your proxysql and scale up its replica then you have to create two separate ProxySQLOpsRequest. At first, you have to create a ProxySQLOpsRequest for updating. Once it is completed, then you can create another ProxySQLOpsRequest for scaling. You should not create two ProxySQLOpsRequest simultaneously.

spec.updateVersion

If you want to update your ProxySQL version, you have to specify the spec.updateVersion section that specifies the desired version information. This field consists of the following sub-field:

• spec.updateVersion.targetVersion refers to a ProxySQLVersion CR that contains the ProxySQL version information where you want to update.

You can only update between ProxySQL versions. KubeDB does not support downgrade for ProxySQL.

spec.horizontalScaling

If you want to scale-up or scale-down your ProxySQL cluster or different components of it, you have to specify spec.horizontalScaling section. spec.horizontalScaling.member indicates the desired number of nodes for ProxySQL cluster after scaling. For example, if your cluster currently has 4 nodes, and you want to add additional 2 nodes then you have to specify 6 in spec.horizontalScaling.member field. Similarly, if you want to remove one node from the cluster, you have to specify 3 in spec.horizontalScaling. field.

spec.verticalScaling

spec.verticalScaling is a required field specifying the information of ProxySQL resources like cpu, memory etc that will be scaled. This field consists of the following sub-field:

• spec.verticalScaling.proxysql indicates the desired resources for ProxySQL standalone or cluster after scaling.
• spec.verticalScaling.exporter indicates the desired resources for the exporter container.
• spec.verticalScaling.coordinator indicates the desired resources for the coordinator container.

All of them has the below structure:

requests:
  memory: "200Mi"
  cpu: "0.1"
limits:
  memory: "300Mi"
  cpu: "0.2"

Here, when you specify the resource request, the scheduler uses this information to decide which node to place the container of the Pod on and when you specify a resource limit for the container, the kubelet enforces those limits so that the running container is not allowed to use more of that resource than the limit you set. You can found more details from here.

spec.configuration

If you want to reconfigure your Running ProxySQL cluster with new custom configuration, you have to specify spec.configuration section. This field consists of the following sub-fields:

• mysqlUsers : To reconfigure the mysql_users table, you need to provide the desired user infos under the spec.configuration.mysqlUsers.users section. Set the .spec.configuration.mysqlUsers.reqType to either add, update or delete based on the operation you want to do.
• mysqlQueryRules : To reconfigure the mysql_query_rules table, you need to provide the desired rule infos under the spec.configuration.mysqlQueryRules.rules section. Set the .spec.configuration.mysqlQueryRules.reqType to either add, update or delete based on the operation you want to do.
• mysqlVariables : You can reconfigure mysql variables for the proxysql server using this field. You can reconfigure almost all the mysql variables except mysql-interfaces, mysql-monitor_username, mysql-monitor_password, mysql-ssl_p2s_cert, mysql-ssl_p2s_key, mysql-ssl_p2s_ca.
• adminVariables : You can reconfigure admin variables for the proxysql server using this field. You can reconfigure almost all the admin variables except admin-admin_credentials and admin-mysql_interface.

spec.tls

If you want to reconfigure the TLS configuration of your database i.e. add TLS, remove TLS, update issuer/cluster issuer or Certificates and rotate the certificates, you have to specify spec.tls section. This field consists of the following sub-field:

• spec.tls.issuerRef specifies the issuer name, kind and api group.
• spec.tls.certificates specifies the certificates. You can learn more about this field from here.
• spec.tls.rotateCertificates specifies that we want to rotate the certificate of this proxysql.
• spec.tls.remove specifies that we want to remove tls from this proxysql.

ProxySQLOpsRequest Status

.status describes the current state and progress of a ProxySQLOpsRequest operation. It has the following fields:

status.phase

status.phase indicates the overall phase of the operation for this ProxySQLOpsRequest. It can have the following three values:

status.observedGeneration

status.observedGeneration shows the most recent generation observed by the ProxySQLOpsRequest controller.

status.conditions

status.conditions is an array that specifies the conditions of different steps of ProxySQLOpsRequest processing. Each condition entry has the following fields:

• types specifies the type of the condition. ProxySQLOpsRequest has the following types of conditions:

• The status field is a string, with possible values True, False, and Unknown.
  • status will be True if the current transition succeeded.
  • status will be False if the current transition failed.
  • status will be Unknown if the current transition was denied.
• The message field is a human-readable message indicating details about the condition.
• The reason field is a unique, one-word, CamelCase reason for the condition’s last transition.
• The lastTransitionTime field provides a timestamp for when the operation last transitioned from one state to another.
• The observedGeneration shows the most recent condition transition generation observed by the controller.
