CNFs Software

Overview

The Cloud-Native Network Functions (CNFs) custom resource definitions (CRDs), software images and installation Helm charts are provided in a single TAR file. A CNFs public signing key, and two signature files are also provided to validate the TAR file’s integrity. Once validated and extracted, the software images can be uploaded to a local container registry, and integrated into the cluster using the CNFs Helm charts. Finally, the CNFs CRDs will be installed into the cluster.

This document describes the CNFs software, and guides you through validating, extracting and installing the CNF software components.

Software images

The table below lists and describes the software images for this software release. For a full list of software images by release, refer to the Software Releases guide.

Note: The software image name and deployed container name may differ.

Requirements

Ensure you have:

  • Obtained the CNE software tarball.

  • A local container registry.

  • A workstation with Podman.

  • (Optional) A compatible version of Open Source Cert Manager

Procedures

Extract the Software Images

Use the following steps to validate the CNFs tarball, extract the software images, installation Helm charts, and CRDs.

Note: F5 now provides a single tarball for SPK and CNF. As a result, you may notice the SPK CRDs bundle (f5-spk-crds-common, f5-spk-crds-service-proxy, and f5-spk-crds-deprecated) included in the tarball and manifest file. F5 recommends that you avoid downloading the SPK CRDs bundle, as it may conflict with the CNFs CRDs. The software image name and deployed container name may differ.

  1. Create a new directory for the CNFs files:

    mkdir <directory>
    

    In this example, the new directory is named cnfinstall:

    mkdir cnfinstall
    
  2. Move the CNFs files into the directory:

    mv f5-bigip-k8s* f5-bigip-k8s-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.pem cnfinstall
    
  3. Change into the directory and list the files:

    cd cnfinstall; ls -1
    

    The files appear as:

    f5-bigip-k8s-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.pem
    f5-bigip-k8s-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.tgz
    f5-bigip-k8s-sha512.txt-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.sha512.sig
    f5-bigip-k8s.tgz-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.sha512.sig
    
  4. Use the PEM signing key and each SHA signature file to validate the CNFs TAR file:

    openssl dgst -verify <pem file>.pem -keyform PEM \
    -sha512 -signature <sig file>.sig <tar file>.tgz
    

    The command output states Verified OK for each signature file:

    openssl dgst -verify f5-bigip-k8s-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.pem -keyform PEM -sha512 \
    -signature f5-bigip-k8s.tgz-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.sha512.sig \
    f5-bigip-k8s-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.tgz
    
    Verified OK
    
  5. Extract the CNFs images, Helm charts, and CRDs from the TAR file:

    tar xvf f5-bigip-k8s-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.tgz
    
  6. List the newly extracted files:

    ls -1
    

    The file list shows the CRD bundless and the CNF image TAR file named f5-bigip-k8s-images-v2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.tgz:

    f5-bigip-k8s-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.pem
    f5-cnf-crds-n6lan-13.7.1-0.3.22.tgz
    f5-bigip-k8s-images-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.tgz
    f5-bigip-k8s-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.tgz
    f5-bigip-k8s-sha512.txt-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.sha512.sig
    f5-bigip-k8s.tgz-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.sha512.sig
    
  7. Extract the CNF Helm charts and software images:

    tar xvf f5-bigip-k8s-images-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.tgz
    
  8. List the extracted Helm charts and software images:

    ls -1R
    

    The file list shows a new tar directory with the following files:

    f5-bigip-k8s-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.pem
    f5-cnf-crds-n6lan-13.7.1-0.3.22.tgz
    f5-bigip-k8s-images-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.tgz

    f5-bigip-k8s.tgz-2.1.0-3.1736.1-0.1.27.sha512.sig
    tar
    
    ./tar:

    f5-toda-observer-v5.7.5-0.1.0.tgz
    cne-docker-images.tgz
    

Install CRDs

Use the following steps to extract and install the new CNF CRDs.

  1. List the CNF CRD bundle:

    ls -1 | grep crd
    

    The file list shows CRD bundle:

    f5-cnf-crds-n6lan-13.7.1-0.3.22.tgz
    
  2. Install the CRDs:

    a. Install CRDs using Helm install:

    helm install f5crds f5-cnf-crds-n6lan-13.7.1-0.3.22.tgz -f crd-values.yaml 
    

    Example: crd-values.yaml file (We only need to use this namespace parameter when CRD Conversion is deployed in a non-default namespace. The value of the namespace parameter should match the namespace in which CRD Conversion is deployed.)

    conversion:
       namespace: cnf-crdconversion 
    

    Note: In the command output, newly installed CRDs will be indicated by created, and updated CRDs will be indicated by configured

Install Cert Manager

Install the cert manager. For more information on how to install and configure Cert Manager, see Cert Manager guide.

Install CRD Conversion pod

  1. Add the f5-crdconversion serviceAccount to the privileged security context constraints (SCC) of the project:

    oc adm policy add-scc-to-user privileged -n <project> -z <serviceaccount>
    

    In this example, the f5-crdconversion is added to the cnf-cert-manager project’s privileged SCC.

    oc adm policy add-scc-to-user privileged -n cnf-crdconversion -z default

  2. Install the CRD Conversion pod with latest version using Helm install:

    helm install f5-crd-conversion --version 0.16.15-0.0.15 -n cnf-crdconversion f5ingress-dev/f5-crdconversion -f crd-conversion-values.yaml  
    
  3. Verify the STATUS of the CRD Conversion pod:

    In this example, CRD Conversion Pod is installed in the cnf-crdconversion Project.

    oc get pod -n cnf-crdconversion 
    

    As we can see CRD Conversion pod is created.

    NAME                                  READY      STATUS       RESTARTS      AGE
    f5-crd-conversion-8478b9y96-asfd1     1/1        Running      0             30s
    

Upload the images

Use the following steps to upload the CNFs software images to a local container registry.

  1. Install the CNFs images to your workstation’s Podman image store:

    podman load -i tar/cne-docker-images.tgz
    
  2. List the CNF images to be tagged and pushed to the local container registry in the next step:

    podman images --format "table {{.Repository}} {{.Tag}} {{.ID}}"

  3. Tag and push each image to the local container registry. For example:

    podman tag <local.registry/image name>:<version> <registry>/<image name>:<version>
    
    podman push <registry_name>/<image name>:<version>
    

    In this example, the f5ingress-v13.7.1-0.3.22 image is tagged and pushed to the remote registry registry.com:

    podman tag local.registry/f5ingress-v13.7.1-0.3.22 registry.com/f5ingress-v13.7.1-0.3.22
    
    podman push registry.com/f5ingress-v13.7.1-0.3.22
    

    Note: If you encounter the “insufficient UIDs or GIDs available in user namespace” error while pushing the Docker image, kindly use the following command:

    A. If you are pushing an image, use this command:

    podman --storage-opt overlay.ignore_chown_errors=true push <registry>/<image name>:<version>
    

    Example:

    podman --storage-opt overlay.ignore_chown_errors=true push registry.com/f5-mbip-docker/f5-nsec-ips-daemon:v3.5.1-0.0.4
    

    B. If you still encounter the error while pushing the image, increase the subuids and subgids range to larger values. Make sure the subuids and subgids fit within the required range.

    Example:

    sudo usermod --add-subuids 200000-2010000000 <USERNAME> 
    
    sudo usermod --add-subgids 200000-2010000000 <USERNAME> 
    
  4. Once all of the images have uploaded, verify the images exist in the local container registry:

    curl -X GET https://<registry>/v2/_catalog -u <user:pass>
    

    For example:

    curl -X GET https://registry.com/v2/_catalog -u cnfadmin:cnfadmin
    
    "repositories":["f5-debug-sidecar","f5-dssm-store","f5-fluentbit","f5-fluentd","f5-toda-tmstatsd","f5dr-img","f5ingress","tmm-img","tmrouted-img"]}
