Create e2e test to emulate deployment use cases for MCAD

[z103cb]

Description

We need the to ensure that MCAD functions correctly in the following deployment scenarios which are most likely encountered when upgrading / deploying a new version of MCAD with the quota management feature enabled. It is assumed that the changes in #396, are incorporated and that the "default" quota node is available.

To achieve the goals, we'll need to augment our kuttl end to end tests to support the following scenarios. It is assumed that the same kind configuration / cluster setup as the existing end to end tests is used. The scenarios below assume that the kind cluster is up and running.

Deployment Scenarios

Deploy in cluster with running app wrappers where quota management was not previously deployed

Purpose

To validate that we can deploy MCAD with quota management feature turned on a cluster where there are app wrappers in a RUNNING, COMPLETED, RUNNING HOLD COMPLETION state which did not specify quota labels. Once the MCAD is re-deployed in with quota management feature enabled, it is expected that existing app wrappers in RUNNING and RUNNING HOLD COMPLETION state without any quota management labels will use the quota from the "default" quota node.

Steps

1. Deploy MCAD on cluster with quota management turned off
2. Submit 1 app wrapper with a deployment running echo server to emulate long running AppWrappers with the expectation that the existing app wrappers and associated resources will continue to run. Expect that the submitted app wrapper will be in a "RUNNING" state.
3. Submit 1 app wrapper with one job that is expected to run for a limited time. Expect that the submitted app wrapper will be in a "COMPLETED" state.
4. Submit 1 app wrapper that would end up in a "RUNNING HOLD COMPLETION"
5. Redeploy MCAD on cluster with quota management turned on, and no quota trees submitted with the expectation that the existing app wrappers and associated resources will continue to run and MCAD continues to function.
6. Submit quota trees with a "default" node and additional quota nodes with the expectation that the existing app wrappers are associated with the "default" quota node and MCAD continues to function.
7. Submit a new app wrapper with enough resource request to use up the remainder of the quota allocation for the "default" node. Expect the app wrapper to be in a "Pending" state.
8. Delete app wrappers submitted in step 2 and 3 expect that the app wrapper in the previous step will be in a RUNNING state.
9. Submit additional app wrappers consuming quota nodes other than default with the expectation that they would be in a "RUNNING" or "COMPLETE" state.

Deploy in cluster with running app wrappers where quota management was previously deployed

Purpose

To validate that we can deploy and re deploy MCAD with quota management feature turned on a cluster where there are app wrappers in a RUNNING, COMPLETED, RUNNING HOLD COMPLETION with specific quota labels. Once the MCAD is re-deployed in with quota management feature enabled, it is expected that existing app wrappers in RUNNING and RUNNING HOLD COMPLETION state would use up the quota from their respective nodes.

Steps:

1. Deploy CRDS in the cluster
2. Deploy quota trees in the cluster, with a "default" node.
3. Deploy MCAD on cluster with quota management feature flag turned on.
4. Submit additional app wrappers consuming quota nodes other than default with the expectation that they would be in a "RUNNING" and "COMPLETED" state.
5. Submit additional app wrappers with no quota nodes specified. Expect that the app wrappers would be in a "Running" and "Completed" state and they would use up the "default" node quota.
6. Redeploy MCAD on cluster with quota management turned on or kill the MCAD pod
7. Submit a new app wrapper with enough resource request to use up the remainder of the quota allocation for the "default" node. Expect the app wrapper to be in a "Pending" state.
8. Submit a new app wrapper with enough resource request to use up the remainder of the quota allocation for a node other than default. Expect the app wrapper to be in a "Pending" state.

Note: This scenario should be probably incorporated into the existing quota management e2e test.

Update quota trees in a running cluster

Purpose

To validate that updates to the quota trees can be processed while MCAD is running and there are no disruption in processing for existing app wrappers and new app wrappers can be submitted.

Steps

1. Deploy CRDS in the cluster
2. Deploy quota trees in the cluster, with a "default" node.
3. Deploy MCAD on cluster with quota management feature flag turned on.
4. Submit additional app wrappers consuming quota nodes other than default with the expectation that they would be in a "RUNNING" or "COMPLETED" state.
5. Submit additional app wrappers with no quota nodes specified with the expectation that they would be in a "Running" and "Completed" state.
6. Submit CRD that adds a new quota node to the tree defined in step 2. Expect that the existing app wrappers will continue to execute and MCAD is still functional.
7. Submit additional app wrappers for the quota node defined in step 6 with the expectation that they would be in a "RUNNING" or "COMPLETED" state.

The most critical scenario is the clean, orchestrated MCAD deployment and configuration.

1. deploy CRDs and MCAD controller,
2. wait for controller to be ready,
3. deploy 3-node quota tree at once,
4. test AppWrapper deployment, possibly deploying first an AppWrapper under quota then after completion an AppWrapper over quota.

We can then relax this scenario by deploying either:

• the CRDs, the controller, the quota tree without waiting for the controller to be ready,
• the CRDs then the quota tree then the controller,
• the CRDs then part of the tree then the controller then the rest of the tree.

We can then consider scenarios including existing AppWrappers (running or not).

Deploy in cluster with running app wrappers where quota management was not previously deployed

Steps:

Deploy MCAD on cluster with quota management turned off
Submit 2 app wrappers with a deployment running echo server to emulate long running AppWrappers with the expectation that the existing app wrappers and associated resources will continue to run. Expect that the submitted app wrapper will be in a "Running" state.
Redeploy MCAD on cluster with quota management turned on, and no quota trees submitted with the expectation that the existing app wrappers and associated resources will continue to run and MCAD continues to function.
Submit quota trees with a "default" node and additional quota nodes with the expectation that the existing app wrappers are associated with the "default" quota node and MCAD continues to function.

the above step is a 3rd AW, correct? Based on the next step there is still available quota but not enough for the AW in the next step?

Submit a new app wrapper with enough resource request to use up the remainder of the quota allocation for the "default" node. Expect the app wrapper to be in a "Pending" state.

the above step is 4th AW, correct? This is assuming available quota < 4th AW quota demand?

Delete app wrappers submitted in step 2, expect that the app wrapper in step 5 will be in a running state

this is assuming the 4th AW, correct? implying 4th AW quota demand <= current available quota + quota demand from in step 2, correct?

Submit additional app wrappers consuming quota nodes other than default with the expectation that they would be in a "Running" or "Completed" state

this is assuming a 5th AW quota demand <= quota node entitlement + borrowing if applicable?

Deploy in cluster with running app wrappers where quota management was previously deployed

Steps:

Deploy CRDS in the cluster
Deploy quota trees in the cluster, with a "default" node.
Deploy MCAD on cluster with quota management feature flag turned on.
Submit additional app wrappers consuming quota nodes other than default with the expectation that they would be in a "Running" and "Completed" state.
Submit additional app wrappers with no quota nodes specified with the expectation that they would be in a "Running" and "Completed" state.

Would this test case have different behavior if the AW Completed vs Running?

Redeploy MCAD on cluster with quota management turned on or kill the MCAD pod
Submit a new app wrapper with enough resource request to use up the remainder of the quota allocation for the "default" node. Expect the app wrapper to be in a "Pending" state.
Submit a new app wrapper with enough resource request to use up the remainder of the quota allocation for a node other than default. Expect the app wrapper to be in a "Pending" state.

@z103cb could you explain a bit more about what this test case is testing? Plus can I assume the # of AWs submitted is the same as the previous test case?

Update quota trees in a running cluster

Steps:

Deploy CRDS in the cluster
Deploy quota trees in the cluster, with a "default" node.
Deploy MCAD on cluster with quota management feature flag turned on.
Submit additional app wrappers consuming quota nodes other than default with the expectation that they would be in a "Running" and "Completed" state.
Submit additional app wrappers with no quota nodes specified with the expectation that they would be in a "Running" and "Completed" state.
Submit CRD that adds a new quota node to the tree defined in step 2. Expect that the existing app wrappers will continue to execute and MCAD is still functional
Submit additional app wrappers for the quota node defined in step 6 with the expectation that they would be in a "Running" and "Completed" state.

this is assuming this final AW quota demand <= quota node entitlement + borrowing if applicable?

Thanks @z103cb for the test case descriptions above. A couple scenario, not necessarily related to default behavior is the following:

1. create tree: MyTree with following tree structure
   Root(10CPU)->NodeA(10CPU-Soft)
2. create AW1 with label MyTree=NodeA and demanding 8 CPUs until running state
3. update MyTree with following tree structure
   Root(10CPU)->NodeA(10CPU-Soft)
   I think the design here was to leave AW running as is. If AW1 get preempted the job will stay queued due to insufficient quota.

Another Scenario

1. create tree: MyTree with following tree structure
   Root(10CPU)->NodeA(10CPU-Soft)
2. create AW1 with label MyTree=NodeA and demanding 8 CPUs until running state
3. create AW2 with label MyTree=NodeA and demanding 12 CPUs until pending state
4. update MyTree with following tree structure
   Root(20CPU)->GroupA(20CPU)->NodeA(10CPU-Soft)
   both AW1 and AW2 should running.

@tardieu I believe that these scenarios are mostly covered by the existing e2e test. A slight modification to tests would be needed to flip the order of steps in the test setup as such:

  - script: helm upgrade  --install mcad-controller deployment/mcad-controller --skip-crds --namespace kube-system --wait --set loglevel=${LOG_LEVEL} --set resources.requests.cpu=1000m --set resources.requests.memory=1024Mi --set resources.limits.cpu=4000m --set resources.limits.memory=4096Mi --set image.repository=$IMAGE_REPOSITORY_MCAD --set image.tag=$IMAGE_TAG_MCAD --set image.pullPolicy=$MCAD_IMAGE_PULL_POLICY --set configMap.quotaEnabled='"true"' --set quotaManagement.rbac.apiGroup=ibm.com --set quotaManagement.rbac.resource=quotasubtrees  --set configMap.name=mcad-controller-configmap --set configMap.preemptionEnabled='"true"' 
  - command: kubectl apply -f ./e2e-kuttl/install-quota-subtree.yaml

Is this alteration sufficient or you think we need a separate test to cover the scenario you have described ?

Deploy in cluster with running app wrappers where quota management was not previously deployed
Steps:

Deploy MCAD on cluster with quota management turned off
Submit 2 app wrappers with a deployment running echo server to emulate long running AppWrappers with the expectation that the existing app wrappers and associated resources will continue to run. Expect that the submitted app wrapper will be in a "Running" state.
Redeploy MCAD on cluster with quota management turned on, and no quota trees submitted with the expectation that the existing app wrappers and associated resources will continue to run and MCAD continues to function.
Submit quota trees with a "default" node and additional quota nodes with the expectation that the existing app wrappers are associated with the "default" quota node and MCAD continues to function.

the above step is a 3rd AW, correct?
No, the step above adds the CRDs that define the quota trees. There should be no new app wrappers submitted. It is expected that existing app wrappers will associate with the "default" node and use up all the resource quota (cpu) defined for that node.
Based on the next step there is still available quota but not enough for the AW in the next step?
Correct, the next submitted app wrapper should be put in "PENDING" state, due to insufficient available quota. Quota should be freed up for the this wrapper once the existing app wrappers are deleted.

Submit a new app wrapper with enough resource request to use up the remainder of the quota allocation for the "default" node. Expect the app wrapper to be in a "Pending" state.

the above step is 4th AW, correct? This is assuming available quota < 4th AW quota demand?
Correct.

Delete app wrappers submitted in step 2, expect that the app wrapper in step 5 will be in a running state

this is assuming the 4th AW, correct? implying 4th AW quota demand <= current available quota + quota demand from in step 2, correct?
Yes

Submit additional app wrappers consuming quota nodes other than default with the expectation that they would be in a "Running" or "Completed" state

this is assuming a 5th AW quota demand <= quota node entitlement + borrowing if applicable?
Yes.
