The purpose of this document is to show how to upload a VM disk image on your local system to a PersistentVolumeClaim in Kubernetes.
You have a Kubernetes cluster up and running with CDI installed and at least one PersistentVolume is available.
Commands/manifests below will be run from the root of the CDI repo against a Minikube cluster.
If you are using Minikube with the storage-provisioner
addon enabled. You can create a PersistentVolume like so:
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
name: pv0001
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
capacity:
storage: 5Gi
hostPath:
path: /data/pv0001/
EOF
In order to upload data to your cluster, the cdi-uploadproxy service must be accessible from outside the cluster. In a production environment, this probably involves setting up a Ingress or a LoadBalancer Service.
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: cdi-uploadproxy-nodeport
namespace: cdi
labels:
cdi.kubevirt.io: "cdi-uploadproxy"
spec:
type: NodePort
ports:
- port: 443
targetPort: 8443
nodePort: 31001
protocol: TCP
selector:
cdi.kubevirt.io: cdi-uploadproxy
EOF
oc get cm -n cdi cdi-uploadproxy-signer-bundle -o=jsonpath="{.data['ca-bundle\.crt']}" > tls.crt && \
oc create route reencrypt -n cdi --service=cdi-uploadproxy --dest-ca-cert=tls.crt && \
rm tls.crt
kubectl port-forward -n cdi service/cdi-uploadproxy 8443:443
(Make sure port 8443 on your system isn't occupied.)
Specifying an 'upload' source will mark the data volume as a target for upload.
To create an upload datavolume use the following example.
apiVersion: cdi.kubevirt.io/v1beta1
kind: DataVolume
metadata:
name: upload-datavolume
spec:
source:
upload: {}
pvc:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 500Mi
kubectl apply -f manifests/example/upload-datavolume.yaml
Before sending data to the Upload Proxy, an Upload Token must be requested.
Take a look at at manifests/example/upload-datavolume-token.yaml
for an example.
apiVersion: upload.cdi.kubevirt.io/v1beta1
kind: UploadTokenRequest
metadata:
name: upload-datavolume
namespace: default
spec:
pvcName: upload-datavolume
kubectl apply -f manifests/example/upload-datavolume-token.yaml -o yaml
apiVersion: upload.cdi.kubevirt.io/v1beta1
kind: UploadTokenRequest
metadata:
annotations:
kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration: |
{"apiVersion":"upload.cdi.kubevirt.io/v1beta1","kind":"UploadTokenRequest","metadata":{"annotations":{},"name":"upload-datavolume-token","namespace":"default"},"spec":{"pvcName":"upload-datavolume"}}
creationTimestamp: null
name: upload-datavolume-token
namespace: default
spec:
pvcName: upload-datavolume
status:

Save the token
field of the response status. It will be used to authorize our CDI Upload request. Tokens are good for 5 minutes.
You can capture the token in an environment variable by doing this:
TOKEN=$(kubectl apply -f manifests/example/upload-datavolume-token.yaml -o="jsonpath={.status.token}")
We will be using curl to upload tests/images/cirros-qcow2.img
to the datavolume.
Assuming that the environment variable TOKEN
contains a valid UploadToken, execute the following to upload the image:
curl -v --insecure -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" --data-binary @tests/images/cirros-qcow2.img https://$(minikube ip):31001/v1alpha1/upload
The connection will not be closed until the entire process is completed. If the conversion or resizing process takes a long time intermediate proxies might close the connection unexpectedly.
curl -v --insecure -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" --data-binary @tests/images/cirros-qcow2.img https://$(minikube ip):31001/v1alpha1/upload-async
As soon as the data has been transmitted, the connection will be closed. The caller should monitor the Datavolume status to see if the process is completed.
curl -v --insecure -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" --data-binary @tests/images/cirros-qcow2.img https://cdi-uploadproxy-cdi.$(minishift ip).nip.io/v1alpha1/upload
The connection will not be closed until the entire process is completed. If the conversion or resizing process takes a long time intermediate proxies might close the connection unexpectedly.
curl -v --insecure -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" --data-binary @tests/images/cirros-qcow2.img https://cdi-uploadproxy-cdi.$(minishift ip).nip.io/v1alpha1/upload-async
As soon as the data has been transmitted, the connection will be closed. The caller should monitor the Datavolume status to see if the process is completed.
Assuming you did not get an error, the Datavolume upload-datavolume
should now contain a bootable VM image.
