一步一步教你写kubernetes sidecar

什么是sidecar?#

kubernetes-sidecar-what-is

sidecar,直译为边车。 如上图所示,边车就是加装在摩托车旁来达到拓展功能的目的,比如行驶更加稳定,可以拉更多的人和货物,坐在边车上的人可以给驾驶员指路等。边车模式通过给应用服务加装一个“边车”来达到控制逻辑的分离的目的。

对于微服务来讲,我们可以用边车模式来做诸如 日志收集、服务注册、服务发现、限流、鉴权等不需要业务服务实现的控制面板能力。通常和边车模式比较的就是像spring-cloud那样的sdk模式,像上面提到的这些能力都通过sdk实现。

kubernetes-sidecar-what-can-do

这两种实现模式各有优劣,sidecar模式会引入额外的性能损耗以及延时,但传统的sdk模式会让代码变得臃肿并且升级复杂,控制面能力和业务面能力不能分开升级。

本文的代码已经上传到gitee

sidecar 实现原理#

介绍了sidecar的诸多功能,但是,sidecar是如何做到这些能力的呢?

原来,在kubernetes中,一个pod是部署的最小单元,但一个pod里面,允许运行多个container(容器),多个container(容器)之间共享存储卷和网络栈。这样子,我们就可以多container来做sidecar,或者init-container(初始化容器)来调整挂载卷的权限

kubernetes-sidecar-inside

日志收集sidecar#

日志收集sidecar的原理是利用多个container间可以共用挂载卷的原理实现的,通过将应用程序的日志路径挂出,用另一个程序访问路径下的日志来实现日志收集,这里用cat来替代了日志收集,部署yaml模板如下

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: webserver
spec:
volumes:
- name: shared-logs
emptyDir: {}

containers:
- name: nginx
image: ttbb/nginx:mate
volumeMounts:
- name: shared-logs
mountPath: /opt/sh/openresty/nginx/logs

- name: sidecar-container
image: ttbb/base
command: ["sh","-c","while true; do cat /opt/sh/openresty/nginx/logs/nginx.pid; sleep 30; done"]
volumeMounts:
- name: shared-logs
mountPath: /opt/sh/openresty/nginx/logs

使用kubectl create -f 创建pod,通过kubectl logs命令就可以看到sidecar-container打印的日志输出

kubectl logs webserver sidecar-container

转发请求sidecar#

这一节我们来实现,一个给应用程序转发请求的sidecar,应用程序代码如下

use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::net::{TcpListener, TcpStream};

fn main() {
let listener = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:7878").unwrap();

for stream in listener.incoming() {
let stream = stream.unwrap();

handle_connection(stream);
}
println!("Hello, world!");
}

fn handle_connection(mut stream: TcpStream) {
let mut buffer = [0; 1024];

stream.read(&mut buffer).unwrap();

let contents = "Hello";

let response = format!(
"HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nContent-Length: {}\r\n\r\n{}",
contents.len(),
contents
);

println!("receive a request!");
stream.write(response.as_bytes()).unwrap();
stream.flush().unwrap();
}

我们再来写一个sidecar,它会每15秒向应用程序发出请求

use std::time::Duration;

fn main() {
loop {
thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(15));
let response = reqwest::blocking::get("http://localhost:7878").unwrap();
println!("{}", response.text().unwrap())
}
}

通过仓库下的intput/build.sh脚本构造镜像,运行yaml如下

metadata:

spec:
containers:
- name: input-server

- name: input-sidecar

通过查看kubectl logs input input-http-server可以看到input-http-server收到了请求

package com.shoothzj.sidecar

import akka.actor.typed.ActorSystem
import akka.actor.typed.scaladsl.Behaviors
import akka.http.scaladsl.Http
import akka.http.scaladsl.model._

import scala.concurrent.{ExecutionContextExecutor, Future}
import scala.util.{Failure, Success}

object HttpClient {
def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
while (true) {
Thread.sleep(15_000L)
implicit val system: ActorSystem[Nothing] = ActorSystem(Behaviors.empty, "SingleRequest")
// needed for the future flatMap/onComplete in the end
implicit val executionContext: ExecutionContextExecutor = system.executionContext

val responseFuture: Future[HttpResponse] = Http().singleRequest(HttpRequest(uri = "http://localhost:7979/hello"))

responseFuture
.onComplete {
case Success(res) => println(res)
case Failure(_) => sys.error("something wrong")
}
}
}
}

我们再来写一个sidecar,它会拦截http请求并打印日志

Thread.sleep(15_000L)
