cfdb

Description

Setup & auto tune service instances based on available resources:
- Elasticsearch
- MongoDB
  - MySQL
  - PostgreSQL
  - Redis
  - a general framework to easily add new types is available
Support auto-configurable clustering:
- Native for Elasticsearch
- Native for MongoDB
  - Galera Cluster for MySQL
  - repmgr for PostgreSQL
  - Sentinel for Redis Master-Slave
High Availability and fail-over out-of-the-box
- Specialized HAProxy on each client system
Support for secure TLS tunnel with mutual authentication for database connections
Automatic creation of databases
Automatic upgrade of databases after DB software upgrade
Complete management of user accounts (roles)
- automatic random generated password management
- full & read-only database roles
- custom grants support
- ensures max connections meet
- PostgreSQL extension support
Easy access configuration
- automatic firewall setup on both client & server side
- automatic protection for roles x incoming hosts
- automatic protection for roles x max connections
Automatic incremental backup and automated restore
Strict cgroup-based resource isolation on top of systemd integration
Automatic DB connection availability checks
Automatic cluster state checks
Support easy migration from default data dirs (see init_db_from).
Scheduled actions:
- For example, log cleanup in ELK stack

Terminology & Concept

cluster - infrastructure-wide unique associative name for a collection of distributed database instances. In standalone cases, there is only one instance per cluster.
instance - database service process and related configuration. Each instance runs in own cgroup for fair weighted usage of RAM, CPU and I/O resources.
- primary instance - instance where dynamic setup of roles and databases occurs. It also gets all Read-Write users by default.
- secondary instance - a slave instance suitable for temporary automatic fail-over and Read-Only users. It is not allowed to define databases & roles in configuration, unless the instance is switched to primary node in static configuration.
- arbitrator - an instance participating in quorum, but with no data. Mitigates split-brain cases.
database - a database instance per cluster. All privileged on the database role with the same name is automatically created. There is no need to define such role explicitly.
role - a database user. Each role name is automatically prefixed with related database name to prevent name collisions.
access - a definition of client system and user to access particular role on specific database of specific cluster. All connections parameters are saved in ".env" file in user's home folder. It's possible to specify multiple access definitions per single system user using different .env variable prefixes. In case of multi-node cluster, a local HAProxy reverse-proxy instance is implicitly created with required high-Availability configuration.

Setup

Up to date installation instructions are available in Puppet Forge: https://forge.puppet.com/codingfuture/cfdb

Please use librarian-puppet or cfpuppetserver module to deal with dependencies.

There is a known r10k issue RK-3 which prevents automatic dependencies of dependencies installation.

IMPORTANT NOTES!!!

Please understand that PuppetDB is heavily used for auto-configuration. The drawback is that new facts are updated only on second run after the run which makes any changes. Typical case is to do the following:

Provision instance with databases & roles
Provision the same instance again (collect facts)
Provision access locations
Provision access locations again (collect facts)
Provision instance (update configuration based on the access facts)
Restart instances, if asked during provisioning
Provision all nodes in cycle until there are no new changes and no restart is required

For cluster configuration:

Provision primary node
Provision primary node again (collect facts)
Provision secondary nodes
Provision secondary nodes again (collect facts)
Provision primary node (configure firewall & misc. based on facts)
Provision secondary nodes again (clone/setup)
Restart instances, if asked during provisioning
Provision all nodes in cycle until there are no new changes and no restart is required

As available system memory is automatically distributed between all registered services:

Please make sure to restart services after distribution gets changes (or you may run in trouble).
Please avoid using the same system for codingfuture derived services and custom. Or see #3.
Please make sure to reserve RAM using cfsystem_memory_weight for any custom co-located services. Example:

cfsystem_memory_weight { 'my_own_services':
        ensure => present,
        weight => 100,
        min_mb => 100,
        max_mb => 1024
    }

Examples

Please check codingufuture/puppet-test for example of a complete infrastructure configuration and Vagrant provisioning.

Example for host running standalone instances, PXC arbitrator & PostgreSQL slaves + related accesses.
