- We are using a single branch which has all the code in development and we will be releasing from this branch itself.
ci_prodbranch contains codebase version in development.
To contribute: create your private branch off of ci_prod, make changes and use pull request to merge back to ci_prod.
Pull request must be approved by at least one engineering team members.
We recommend using Visual Studio Code for authoring. Windows 10 with Ubuntu App can be used for both Windows and Linux Agent development and recommened to clone the code onto Ubuntu app so that you dont need to worry about line ending issues LF vs CRLF.
- Install go1.18.3, dotnet, powershell, docker and build dependencies to build go code for both Linux and Windows platforms
bash ~/Docker-Provider/scripts/build/linux/install-build-pre-requisites.sh
- Verify python, docker and golang installed properly and also PATH and GOBIN environment variables set with go bin path.
For some reason go env not set by install-build-pre-requisites.sh script, run the following commands to set them
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin export GOBIN=/usr/local/go/bin - If you want to use Docker on the WSL2, verify following configuration settings configured on your Ubuntu app
echo $DOCKER_HOST # if either DOCKER_HOST not set already or doesnt have tcp://localhost:2375 value, set DOCKER_HOST value via this command echo "export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://localhost:2375" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc # on Docker Desktop for Windows make sure docker running linux mode and enabled Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375 without TLS
Note: If you are using WSL2, ensure
Docker for windowsrunning with Linux containers mode on your windows machine to build Linux agent image successfully
Note: format of the imagetag will be
ci<release><MMDDYYYY>. possible values for release are test, dev, preview, dogfood, prod etc. Please use MCR urls while building internally.
Preferred Way: You can build and push images for multiple architectures. This is powered by docker buildx Directly use the docker buildx commands (the MCR images can be found in our internal wiki to be used as arguments)
# multiple platforms
cd ~/Docker-Provider
docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64/v8,linux/amd64 -t <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> --build-arg IMAGE_TAG=<imagetag> --build-arg CI_BASE_IMAGE=<ciimage> --build-arg GOLANG_BASE_IMAGE=<golangimage> -f kubernetes/linux/Dockerfile.multiarch --push .
# single platform
cd ~/Docker-Provider
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> --build-arg IMAGE_TAG=<imagetag> --build-arg CI_BASE_IMAGE=<ciimage> --build-arg GOLANG_BASE_IMAGE=<golangimage> -f kubernetes/linux/Dockerfile.multiarch --push .
Using the build and publish script
cd ~/Docker-Provider/kubernetes/linux/dockerbuild
sudo docker login # if you want to publish the image to acr then login to acr via `docker login <acr-name>`
# build provider, docker image and publish to docker image
bash build-and-publish-docker-image.sh --image <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> --ubuntu <ubuntu image url> --golang <golang image url>
cd ~/Docker-Provider/kubernetes/linux/dockerbuild
sudo docker login # if you want to publish the image to acr then login to acr via `docker login <acr-name>`
# build and publish using docker buildx
bash build-and-publish-docker-image.sh --image <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> --ubuntu <ubuntu image url> --golang <golang image url> --multiarch
You can also build and push images for multiple architectures. This is powered by docker buildx
cd ~/Docker-Provider/kubernetes/linux/dockerbuild
sudo docker login # if you want to publish the image to acr then login to acr via `docker login <acr-name>`
# build and publish using docker buildx
bash build-and-publish-docker-image.sh --image <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> --multiarch
or directly use the docker buildx commands
# multiple platforms
cd ~/Docker-Provider
docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64/v8,linux/amd64 -t <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> --build-arg IMAGE_TAG=<imagetag> -f kubernetes/linux/Dockerfile.multiarch --push .
# single platform
cd ~/Docker-Provider
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> --build-arg IMAGE_TAG=<imagetag> -f kubernetes/linux/Dockerfile.multiarch --push .
If you prefer to build docker provider shell bundle and image separately, then you can follow below instructions
cd ~/Docker-Provider/build/linux
make
cd ~/Docker-Provider/kubernetes/linux/
docker build -t <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> --build-arg IMAGE_TAG=<imagetag> --build-arg CI_BASE_IMAGE=<ciimage> .
docker push <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag>
To build the windows agent, you will have to build .NET and Go code, and docker image for windows agent.
Docker image for windows agent can only build on Windows machine with Docker for windows with Windows containers mode but the .NET code and Go code can be built either on Windows or Linux or WSL2.
Install pre-requisites based on OS platform you will be using to build the windows agent code
powershell # launch powershell with elevated admin on your windows machine
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy bypass # set the execution policy
cd %userprofile%\Docker-Provider\scripts\build\windows # based on your repo path
.\install-build-pre-requisites.ps1 #
powershell # launch powershell with elevated admin on your windows machine
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy bypass # set the execution policy
net use z: \\wsl$\Ubuntu-16.04 # map the network drive of the ubuntu app to windows
cd z:\home\sshadmin\Docker-Provider\scripts\build\windows # based on your repo path
.\install-build-pre-requisites.ps1 #
Note: format of the windows agent imagetag will be
win-ci<release><MMDDYYYY>. possible values for release are test, dev, preview, dogfood, prod etc.
Execute below instructions on elevated command prompt to build windows agent code and docker image, publishing the image to acr or docker hub
cd %userprofile%\Docker-Provider\kubernetes\windows\dockerbuild # based on your repo path
docker login # if you want to publish the image to acr then login to acr via `docker login <acr-name>`
powershell -ExecutionPolicy bypass # switch to powershell if you are not on powershell already
.\build-and-publish-docker-image.ps1 -image <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> # trigger build code and image and publish docker hub or acr
If you do not want to build the image from scratch every time you make changes during development,you can choose to build the docker images that are separated out by
- Base image and dependencies including agent bootstrap(setup.ps1)
- Agent conf and plugin changes
To do this, the very first time you start developing you would need to execute below instructions in elevated command prompt of powershell. This builds the base image(ama-logs-win-base) with all the package dependencies
cd %userprofile%\Docker-Provider\kubernetes\windows\dockerbuild # based on your repo path
docker login # if you want to publish the image to acr then login to acr via `docker login <acr-name>`
powershell -ExecutionPolicy bypass # switch to powershell if you are not on powershell already
.\build-dev-base-image.ps1 # builds base image and dependencies
And then run the script to build the image consisting of code and conf changes.
.\build-and-publish-dev-docker-image.ps1 -image <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> # trigger build code and image and publish docker hub or acr
By default, multi-arc docker image will be built, but if you want generate test image either with ltsc2019 or ltsc2022 base image, then you can follow the instructions below
For building image with base image version ltsc2019
.\build-and-publish-dev-docker-image.ps1 -image <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> -windowsBaseImageVersion ltsc2019
For building image with base image version ltsc2022
.\build-and-publish-dev-docker-image.ps1 -image <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> -windowsBaseImageVersion ltsc2022
For the subsequent builds, you can just run -
.\build-and-publish-dev-docker-image.ps1 -image <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> # trigger build code and image and publish docker hub or acr
By default, multi-arc docker image will be built, but if you want generate test image either with ltsc2019 or ltsc2022 base image, then you can follow the instructions below
For building image with base image version ltsc2019
.\build-and-publish-dev-docker-image.ps1 -image <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> -windowsBaseImageVersion ltsc2019
For building image with base image version ltsc2022
.\build-and-publish-dev-docker-image.ps1 -image <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> -windowsBaseImageVersion ltsc2022
Note - If you have changes in setup.ps1 and want to test those changes, uncomment the section consisting of setup.ps1 in the Dockerfile-dev-image file.
cd ~/Docker-Provider/build/windows # based on your repo path on WSL2 Ubuntu app
pwsh #switch to powershell
.\Makefile.ps1 # trigger build and publish of .net and go code
Note: Docker image for windows container can only built on windows hence you will have to execute below commands on windows via accessing network share or copying published bits amalogswindows under kubernetes directory on to windows machine
net use z: \\wsl$\Ubuntu-16.04 # map the network drive of the ubuntu app to windows
cd z:\home\sshadmin\Docker-Provider\kubernetes\windows # based on your repo path
docker build -t <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> --build-arg IMAGE_TAG=<imagetag> .
docker push <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag>
Navigate to https://github-private.visualstudio.com/microsoft/_build?definitionId=444&_a=summary to see Linux and Windows Agent build pipelines. These pipelines are configured with CI triggers for ci_prod.
Docker Images will be pushed to CDPX ACR repos and these needs to retagged and pushed to corresponding ACR or docker hub. Only onboarded Azure AD AppId has permission to pull the images from CDPx ACRs.
Please reach out the agent engineering team if you need access to it.
Here are the instructions to onboard the feature branch to Azure Dev Ops pipeline
- Navigate to https://github-private.visualstudio.com/microsoft/_apps/hub/azurecdp.cdpx-onboarding.cdpx-onboarding-tab
- Select the repository as "docker-provider" from repository drop down
- click on validate repository
- select the your feature branch from Branch drop down
- Select the Operation system as "Linux" and Build type as "buddy"
- create build definition
- enable continous integration on trigger on the build definition
This will create build definition for the Linux agent. Repeat above steps except that this time select Operation system as "Windows" to onboard the pipeline for Windows agent.
Integrated to Azure DevOps release pipeline for the ci_prod branch. With this, for every commit to ci_prod branch, latest bits automatically deployed to DEV AKS clusters in Build subscription.
When releasing the agent, we have a separate Azure DevOps pipeline which needs to be run to publish the image to prod MCR and our PROD AKS clusters.
For development, agent image will be in this format mcr.microsoft.com/azuremonitor/containerinsights/cidev:Major.Minor.Patch-CommitAheadCount-. Image tag for windows will be win-Major.Minor.Patch-CommitAheadCount-.
For releases, agent will be in this format mcr.microsoft.com/azuremonitor/containerinsights/ciprod:Major.Minor.Patch. Image tag for windows will be win-Major.Minor.Patch.
Navigate to https://github-private.visualstudio.com/microsoft/_release?_a=releases&view=all to see the release pipelines.
Navigate to Kubernetes directory and update the yamls with latest docker image of Linux and Windows Agent and other relevant updates.
For our single branch ci_prod, automatically deployed latest yaml with latest agent image (which automatically built by the azure devops pipeline) onto CIDEV AKS clusters in build subscription. So, you can use CIDEV AKS cluster to validate E2E. Similarly, you can set up build and release pipelines for your feature branch.
- Enable Monitoring addon with Managed Idenity Auth Mode either using Portal or CLI or Template
- Get the MSI token (which is valid for 24 hrs.) value via
kubectl get secrets -n kube-system aad-msi-auth-token -o=jsonpath='{.data.token}' - Disable Monitoring addon via
az aks disable-addons -a monitoring -g <rgName> -n <clusterName> - Deploy ARM template with enabled = false to create DCR, DCR-A and link the workspace to Portal
Note - Make sure to update the parameter values in existingClusterParam.json file and have enabled = false in template file
az deployment group create --resource-group <ResourceGroupName> --template-file ./existingClusterOnboarding.json --parameters @./existingClusterParam.json
- Uncomment MSI auth related yaml lines, replace all the placeholder values, MSI token value and image tag in the ama-logs.yaml
- Deploy the ama-logs.yaml via
kubectl apply -f ama-logs.yaml> Note: use the image toggle for release E2E validation - validate E2E for LA & Metrics data flows, and other scenarios
- Deploy the ama-logs.yaml with your agent image. In the yaml, make sure
ISTESTenvironment variable set totrueif its not set already - Update the Service Principal CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET and TENANT_ID placeholder values and apply e2e-tests.yaml to execute the tests
Note: Service Principal requires reader role on log analytics workspace and cluster resource to query LA and metrics
cd ~/Docker-Provider/test/e2e # based on your repo path kubectl apply -f e2e-tests.yaml # this will trigger job to run the tests in sonobuoy namespace kubectl get po -n sonobuoy # to check the pods and jobs associated to tests - Download (sonobuoy)[https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/sonobuoy/releases] on your dev box to view the results of the tests
results=$(sonobuoy retrieve) # downloads tar file which has logs and test results sonobuoy results $results # get the summary of the results tar -xzvf <downloaded-tar-file> # extract downloaded tar file and look for pod logs, results and other k8s resources if there are any failures
- Add the test python file with your test code under
testsdirectory - Build the docker image, recommended to use ACR & MCR
cd ~/Docker-Provider/test/e2e/src # based on your repo path
docker login <acr> -u <user> -p <pwd> # login to acr
docker build -f ./core/Dockerfile -t <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag> .
docker push <repo>/<imagename>:<imagetag>
- update existing agentest image tag in e2e-tests.yaml & conformance.yaml with newly built image tag with MCR repo
Clusters are used in release pipeline already has the yamls under test\scenario deployed. Make sure to validate these scenarios. If you have new interesting scenarios, please add/update them.
