Adding multiple hybrid orgs to a cluster

Version 1.8 (unsupported)keyboard_arrow_down

This topic explains how to add a second Apigee hybrid organization (org) to an existing Kubernetes cluster. In this multi-org per cluster configuration, both orgs use and share the same Cassandra ring. Each org can have multiple environments and environment groups configured.

Limitations

A multi-org per cluster configuration is supported with the following limitations. Until these limitations are mitigated, we do not recommend that you use this configuration.

Multi-org options

This section describes how Apigee Support handles existing multi-org clusters and recommendations for future deployments:

Prerequisites

Before continuing, note the following:

Create an org to add to the existing cluster

To create the additional org, follow the steps in Part 1: Project and org setup.

Configure the new org

In the following steps, you will create a new overrides file and configure it for the new org. An overrides.yaml file can only support one org's information. Therefore, you must create a new overrides.yaml file and apply it to the existing Kubernetes cluster.

  1. Create service accounts for use with the new org. See Create service accounts.
  2. Make note of the TLS certificate files (.key and .pem) in your certs directory. If you need to create them again, you can follow the instructions in Create TLS certificates.
  3. Copy your existing overrides.yaml to a new file to use as a starting point for configuring your new org. For example: new-overrides.yaml.
  4. Edit the new overrides file with the following configurations: 
    org: "new-org-name"
instanceID: "instance-id"   ## Must match the instanceID of your existing org.

k8sCluster:
  name: "existing-cluster-name"
  region: "existing-cluster-analytics-region"

gcp:
  projectID: "new-project-id"
  name: "new-project-id"
  region: "new-project-default-location"

namespace: namespace ## must be the same for both new and existing orgs

virtualhosts:
  - name: new-environment-group-name
    sslCertPath: ./certs/cert-file-name # .crt or .pem
    sslKeyPath: ./certs/key-file-name # .key

envs:
  - name: new-environment-name
    serviceAccountPaths:
      runtime: ./new-service-accounts-directory/new-project-id-apigee-runtime.json
      synchronizer: ./new-service-accounts-directory/new-project-id-apigee-synchronizer.json
      udca: ./new-service-accounts-directory/new-project-id-apigee-udca.json

connectAgent:
  serviceAccountPath: ./new-service-accounts-directory/new-project-id-apigee-mart.json

mart:
  serviceAccountPath: ./new-service-accounts-directory/new-project-id-apigee-mart.json

metrics:
  serviceAccountPath: ./new-service-accounts-directory/new-project-id-apigee-metrics.json

watcher:
  serviceAccountPath: ./new-service-accounts-directory/new-project-id-apigee-watcher.json

    The following table describes each of the property values that you must provide in the overrides file. For more information, see Configuration property reference.

    Variable Description
    new-org-name The name of your new org.
    instance-id All orgs in in this cluster must have the same instance ID. Therefore this must match the instanceID entry in the overrides file for your original org.
    existing-cluster-name The name of the cluster you are adding this org to. It must match the k8sCluster.name entry in the overrides file for your original cluster.
    existing-cluster-analytics-region The region where the original cluster is provisioned. It must match the k8sCluster.region entry in the overrides file for your original cluster.
    new-project-id The project ID of your new project. The project ID and org name are the same.
    new-project-default-location The analytics region you specified when you created the new org. It does not have to be the same as the region for the existing org.
    namespace All orgs in the cluster must share the same namespace. Be sure to use the same namespace that was used for the original org. Note that the default namespace is apigee.
    new-environment-group-name The new environment group you created for the new org.
    cert-file-name and
    key-file-name    		 The TLS cert and key files for the cluster that you checked or created in step 1 in this section.
    new-environment-name The name of the environment you created for the new org.
    new-service-accounts-directory The directory where the service account key files you created for the new org are located.

Apply the configuration

Apply the new org configuration to your cluster:

  1. Do a dry run installation to check for any problems: 
    apigeectl apply -f overrides/new-overrides.yaml --org --dry-run=client
  2. If there are no issues, apply the org-level components. This step installs the Cassandra jobs (user and schema), Apigee Connect, Apigee Watcher and MART services: 
    apigeectl apply -f overrides/new-overrides.yaml --org
  3. Install the environment. This step installs apigee-runtime, synchronizer and UDCA components, per environment: 
    apigeectl apply -f overrides/new-overrides.yaml --env ${ENV_NAME} --dry-run=client
     
    apigeectl apply -f overrides/new-overrides.yaml --env ${ENV_NAME}
  4. Apply the load balancer changes. This step configures the ingress to listen to the new virtual host(s) for the second org: 
    apigeectl apply -f overrides/new-overrides.yaml --settings virtualhosts --dry-run=client
     
    apigeectl apply -f overrides/new-overrides.yaml --settings virtualhosts
  5. Enable synchronizer access for your new org following the steps in Enable Synchronizer access.
