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.

Technical Support

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:

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

For cluster configuration:

  1. Provision primary node
  2. Provision primary node again (collect facts)
  3. Provision secondary nodes
  4. Provision secondary nodes again (collect facts)
  5. Provision primary node (configure firewall & misc. based on facts)
  6. Provision secondary nodes again (clone/setup)
  7. Restart instances, if asked during provisioning
  8. 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:

  1. Please make sure to restart services after distribution gets changes (or you may run in trouble).
  2. Please avoid using the same system for codingfuture derived services and custom. Or see #3.
  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.

  • $roles = undef - configuration for extra cfdb::role resources (Hiera-friendly).

    • Note: database name is automatically prefixed
  • $ext = [] - database-specific extensions. Genereral format “{name}” or “{name}:{version}“. If version is omitted then the latest one is used.

Please note that implementation types without concept of databases have a fictional one defined with the same name as the cluster.

type cfdb::instance parameters

Defines and auto-configures instances.

  • $type - type of cluster, e.g. elasticsearch, mysql, postgresql
  • $is_cluster = false - if true, configured instance with cluster in mind
  • $is_secondary = false - if true, secondary node is assumed
  • $is_bootstrap = false - if true, forces cluster bootstrap (should be used only TEMPORARY for recovery purposes). There is no need to set this during first node of cluster setup since v0.9.9
  • $is_arbitrator = false - if true, assumes a witness node for quorum with no data
  • *
  • $memory_weight = 100 - relative memory weight for automatic configuration based on available RAM

  • *
  • $ssh_key_type = 'ed25519' - SSH key type for in-cluster communication
  • $ssh_key_bits = 2048 - SSH key bits for RSA
  • $scheduled_actions = {} - type-specific scheduled actions

type cfdb::role parameters

Define and auto-configures roles per database in specified cluster. Please avoid direct configuration, see $cfdb::database::roles

  • $cluster - cluster name
  • $database - database name
  • $password = undef - force password instead of auto-generated
  • $subname = '' - role name is equal to $database. Sub-name is added to it.
  • $readonly = false - set read-only access, if supported by type
  • $custom_grant = undef - custom grant rules with $database and $user being replaced by actual values.
  • $static_access = {} - host => maxconn pairs for static configuration with data in PuppetDB. Please avoid using it, unless really needed.

Please note that if particular implementation is missing concept of databases then there is only one role with the same name as the cluster.

Backup & restore

Each instance has /db/bin/cfdb_{cluster}_backup and /db/bin/cfdb_{cluster}_restore scripts installed to perform manual backup and manual restore from backup respectively. Of course, restore will ask to input two different phrases for safety reasons.

There are two types of backup: base and incremental. The type of backup is detected automatically based on base_date option which can be set through $cfdb::instance::backup_tune.

Possible values for for base_date:

  • 'year' - ‘%Y’
  • 'quarter' - “%Y-Q$(( $(/bin/date +%m) / 4 + 1 ))”
  • 'month' - ‘%Y-%m’
  • 'week' - ‘%Y-W%W’
  • 'day' - ‘%Y-%m-%d’
  • 'daytime' - ‘%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S’
  • any accepted as date format

If $cfdb::instance::backup is true then bin/cfdb_backup_auto symlink is created. The symlinks are automatically called in sequence during system-wide cron-based backup to minimize stress on system.

TLS tunnel based on HAProxy

As database services do not support a dedicated TLS-only port and generally do not well offload TLS processing overhead the actual implentation is based on HAProxy utilizing Puppet PKI for mutual authentication of both peers. There are no changes required to client application - they open local UNIX socket.

TLS tunnel is created in the following cases:

  • use_proxy = 'secure' - unconditionally created
  • use_proxy = 'auto' - if specific database node cf_location mismatch client’s cf_location

TLS tunnel is NOT created in the following cases:

  • use_proxy = 'insecure' - HAProxy is used, but without any TLS security. This parameter is useful, if there is lower level secure VPN tunnel is available.
  • use_proxy = false - HAProxy is not used

Other commands & configurations

  • /opt/codingfuture/bin/cfdb_backup_all is installed and used in periodic cron for sequential instance backup with minimized stress on the system.
  • /opt/codingfuture/bin/cfdb_access_checker <user> <dotenv> <prefix> is a generic tool to verify each configured access is working. It is used on every Puppet provisioning run for every cfdb::access defined.
  • /opt/codingfuture/bin/cfdb_restart_pending is a helper to restart all DB instances with pending restart flag

MySQL

Quite simple. Every key is section name in MySQL INI. Each value is a hash of section’s variable => value pairs.

Note: there are some configuration variables which are enforced by CFDB

However, there is a special "cfdb" section, which is interpreted differently. There are special keys:

  • optimize_ssd - if true, assume data directory is located on high IOPS hardware
  • secure_cluster - if true, use Puppet PKI based TLS for inter-node communication
  • shared_secret - DO NOT USE, for internal cluster purposes.
  • max_connections_roundto = 100 - ceil max_connections to multiple of that
  • listen = 0.0.0.0 - address to listen on, if external connections are detected based on cfdb::access
  • cluster_listen - address to listen for cluster communication based on ‘$cluster_face’
  • inodes_min = 1000 and inodes_max = 10000 - set gates for automatic calculation of mysqld.table_definition_cache and mysqld.table_open_cache
  • open_file_limit_roundto = 10000 - ceil mysqld.open_file_limit to multiple of that
  • binlog_reserve_percent = 10 - percent of $target_size to reserve for binary logs
  • default_chunk_size = 2 * gb - default for innodbbufferpoolchunksize
  • innodb_buffer_pool_roundto = 1GB or 128MB - rounding of memory available for InnoDB pool. The default depends on actual amount of RAM available.
  • wsrep_provider_options = {} - overrides for some of wsrep_provider_options of Galera Cluster
  • init_db_from - “{pgver}:{origdaradir}” - copies initial data from specified path expecting specific PostgreSQL version and then upgrades
  • joiner_timeout = 600 - how long to wait for initial sync of joiner node

PostgreSQL

Similar to MySQL. Section named 'postgresql' overrides some of configuration values in postgresql.conf- some other variables are enforced.

However, there is also a special “cfdb” section:

  • optimize_ssd - if true, assume data directory is located on high IOPS hardware
  • secure_cluster - if true, use Puppet PKI based TLS for inter-node communication
  • shared_secret - DO NOT USE, for internal cluster purposes.
  • strict_hba_roles = true - if true, hba conf strictly matches each role to host instead of using “all” for match. This imitates the same host-based security as provided by MySQL.
  • max_connections_roundto = 100 - ceil max_connections to multiple of that
  • listen = 0.0.0.0 - address to listen on, if external connections are detected based on cfdb::access
  • cluster_listen - address to listen for cluster communication based on ‘$cluster_face’
  • inodes_min = 1000 and inodes_max = 10000 - set gates for automatic calculation of inodes_used participating in: postgresql.max_files_per_process = 3 * (max_connections + inodes_used)
  • open_file_limit_roundto = 10000 - ceil postgresql.max_files_per_process to multiple of that
  • shared_buffers_percent = 20 - percent of allowed RAM to reserve for shared_buffers
  • temp_buffers_percent = 40 - percent of allowed RAM to reserve for tempbuffers
  • temp_buffers_overcommit = 8 - ratio of allowed temp_buffers overcommit
  • node_id - node ID for repmgr. If not set then the last digits of hostname are used as ID.
  • upstream_node_id - upstream node ID for repmgr. If not set then primary instance is used.
  • locale = 'en_US.UTF-8' - locale to use for initdb
  • init_db_from - copies initial data dir from specified path and then upgrades

HAProxy

  1. Top level key matches haproxy.conf sections (e.g. global, defaults, frontend XXX, backend YYY, etc.)

    • If section is missing - it is created
  2. Top level values must be hashes of section definitions

    • Nil value is interpreted as “delete section”
  3. Due to quite messy HAProxy configuration, you should check lib/puppet/provider/cfdb_haproxy/cfdbb.rb for how to properly overrides entires (some of them include space, like “timeout client”)

However, there is also a special “cfdb” section:

  • inter = '3s' default for server inter
  • fastinter = '500ms' default for server fastinter - it also serves for timeout checks

Scheduled actions

Elasticsearch scheduled actions

All actions are based on elasticsearch-curator configuration which is run from cron.

Note: cron actions run only on cfdb $is_primary node.

Old index cleanup

Suitable for cleanup in ELK stack.

  • type = 'cleanup_old' - must be set exactly
  • prefix - must be set explicitely (e.g. ‘logstash’)
  • timestring = '%Y.%m.%d' - filter.timestring value
  • unit = 'days' - filter.unit value
  • unit_count = 30 - filter.unit_value value
  • cron = { hour => 2, minute => 10 } - cron config

Generic elasticsearch-curator actions

  • actions = {} - as required by curator action config
  • cron = { hour => 2, minute => 10 } - cron config
