For simplicity, this topic uses the minimum configuration possible that allows {project_name} to be used with an external {jdgserver_name}. This {section} assumes two {ocp} clusters named `{site-a}` and `{site-b}`. This is a building block following the concepts described in the <@links.ha id="concepts-multi-site" /> {section}. See the <@links.ha id="introduction" /> {section} for an overview. [IMPORTANT] ==== <@profile.ifCommunity> Only Infinispan version ${properties["infinispan.version"]} or more recent patch releases are supported for external {jdgserver_name} deployments. <@profile.ifProduct> Only {jdgserver_name} version {jdgserver_min_version} or more recent patch releases are supported for external {jdgserver_name} deployments. ==== == Architecture This setup deploys two synchronously replicating {jdgserver_name} clusters in two sites with a low-latency network connection. An example of this scenario could be two availability zones in one AWS region. {project_name}, loadbalancer and database have been removed from the following diagram for simplicity. image::high-availability/infinispan-crossdc-az.dio.svg[] == Prerequisites include::partials/infinispan/infinispan-prerequisites.adoc[] == Procedure include::partials/infinispan/infinispan-install-operator.adoc[] include::partials/infinispan/infinispan-credentials.adoc[] + These commands must be executed on both {ocp} clusters. . Create a service account. + A service account is required to establish a connection between clusters. The {ispn-operator} uses it to inspect the network configuration from the remote site and to configure the local {jdgserver_name} cluster accordingly. + For more details, see the {infinispan-operator-docs}#managed-cross-site-connections_cross-site[Managing Cross-Site Connections] documentation. + ..

Create TLS secrets + In this {section}, {jdgserver_name} uses an {ocp} Route for the cross-site communication. It uses the SNI extension of TLS to direct the traffic to the correct Pods. To achieve that, JGroups use TLS sockets, which require a Keystore and Truststore with the correct certificates. + For more information, see the {infinispan-operator-docs}#securing-cross-site-connections_cross-site[Securing Cross Site Connections] documentation or this https://developers.redhat.com/learn/openshift/cross-site-and-cross-applications-red-hat-openshift-and-red-hat-data-grid[Red Hat Developer Guide]. + Upload the Keystore and the Truststore in an {ocp} Secret. The secret contains the file content, the password to access it, and the type of the store. Instructions for creating the certificates and the stores are beyond the scope of this {section}. + To upload the Keystore as a Secret, use the following command: + .Deploy a Keystore [source,bash,subs="+attributes"] ---- kubectl -n {ns} create secret generic {ks-secret} \ --from-file=keystore.p12="./certs/keystore.p12" \ # <1> --from-literal=password=secret \ #<2> --from-literal=type=pkcs12 #<3> ---- <1> The filename and the path to the Keystore. <2> The password to access the Keystore. <3> The Keystore type. + To upload the Truststore as a Secret, use the following command: + .Deploy a Truststore [source,bash,subs="+attributes"] ---- kubectl -n {ns} create secret generic {ts-secret} \ --from-file=truststore.p12="./certs/truststore.p12" \ # <1> --from-literal=password=caSecret \ # <2> --from-literal=type=pkcs12 # <3> ---- <1> The filename and the path to the Truststore. <2> The password to access the Truststore. <3> The Truststore type. + NOTE: Keystore and Truststore must be uploaded in both {ocp} clusters. . Create a Cluster for {jdgserver_name} with Cross-Site enabled + The {infinispan-operator-docs}#setting-up-xsite[Setting Up Cross-Site] documentation provides all the information on how to create and configure your {jdgserver_name} cluster with cross-site enabled, including the previous steps. + A basic example is provided in this {section} using the credentials, tokens, and TLS Keystore/Truststore created by the commands from the previous steps. + -- .The `Infinispan` CR for `{site-a}` [source,yaml] ---- include::examples/generated/ispn-site-a.yaml[tag=infinispan-crossdc] ---- <1> The cluster name <2> Allows the cluster to be monitored by Prometheus. <3> If using a custom credential, configure here the secret name. <4> The name of the local site, in this case `{site-a}`. <5> Exposing the cross-site connection using {ocp} Route. <6> The secret name where the Keystore exists as defined in the previous step. <7> The alias of the certificate inside the Keystore. <8> The secret key (filename) of the Keystore as defined in the previous step. <9> The secret name where the Truststore exists as defined in the previous step. <10> The Truststore key (filename) of the Keystore as defined in the previous step. <11> The remote site's name, in this case `{site-b}`. <12> The namespace of the {jdgserver_name} cluster from the remote site. <13> The {ocp} API URL for the remote site. <14> The secret with the access token to authenticate into the remote site. -- + For `{site-b}`, the `Infinispan` CR looks similar to the above. Note the differences in point 4, 11 and 13. + .The `Infinispan` CR for `{site-b}` [source,yaml] ---- include::examples/generated/ispn-site-b.yaml[tag=infinispan-crossdc] ---- . Creating the caches for {project_name}. + {project_name} requires the following caches to be present: `actionTokens`, `authenticationSessions`, `loginFailures`, and `work`. + The {jdgserver_name} {infinispan-operator-docs}#creating-caches[Cache CR] allows deploying the caches in the {jdgserver_name} cluster. Cross-site needs to be enabled per cache as documented by {infinispan-xsite-docs}[Cross Site Documentation]. The documentation contains more details about the options used by this {section}. The following example shows the `Cache` CR for `{site-a}`. + -- . In `{site-a}` create a `Cache` CR for each of the caches mentioned above with the following content. This is an example for the `authenticationSessions` cache: [source,yaml] ---- include::examples/generated/ispn-site-a.yaml[tag=infinispan-cache-authenticationSessions] ---- <1> The transaction mode. <2> The locking mode used by the transaction. <3> The remote site name. <4> The cross-site communication strategy, in this case, `SYNC`. <5> The cross-site replication timeout. <6> The cross-site replication failure policy. -- + The example above is the recommended configuration to achieve the best data consistency. + ==== *Background information* Deadlocks may occur in an active-active setup as entries are modified concurrently in both sites. The `transaction.mode: NON_XA` ensures that the transaction is rolled back keeping the data consistent if this occurs. The setting `backup.failurePolicy: FAIL` is required in this case. It will throw an error that allows the transaction to be safely rolled back. When this occurs, {project_name} will attempt a retry. The `transaction.locking: PESSIMISTIC` is the only supported locking mode; `OPTIMISTIC` is not recommended due to its network costs. The same settings also prevent that one site it updated while the other site is unreachable. The `backup.strategy: SYNC` ensures the data is visible and stored in the other site when the {project_name} request is completed. NOTE: The `locking.acquireTimeout` can be reduced to fail fast in a deadlock scenario. The `backup.timeout` must always be higher than the `locking.acquireTimeout`. ==== + For `{site-b}`, the `Cache` CR is similar, except for the `backups.` outlined in point 3 of the above diagram. + .authenticationSessions `Cache` CR in `{site-b}` [source,yaml] ---- include::examples/generated/ispn-site-b.yaml[tag=infinispan-cache-authenticationSessions] ---- == Verifying the deployment Confirm that the {jdgserver_name} cluster is formed, and the cross-site connection is established between the {ocp} clusters. .Wait until the {jdgserver_name} cluster is formed [source,bash,subs="+attributes"] ---- kubectl wait --for condition=WellFormed --timeout=300s infinispans.infinispan.org -n {ns} {cluster-name} ---- .Wait until the {jdgserver_name} cross-site connection is established [source,bash,subs="+attributes"] ---- kubectl wait --for condition=CrossSiteViewFormed --timeout=300s infinispans.infinispan.org -n {ns} {cluster-name} ---- [#connecting-infinispan-to-keycloak] == Connecting {jdgserver_name} with {project_name} Now that an {jdgserver_name} server is running, here are the relevant {project_name} CR changes necessary to connect it to {project_name}. These changes will be required in the <@links.ha id="deploy-keycloak-kubernetes" /> {section}. . Create a Secret with the username and password to connect to the external {jdgserver_name} deployment: + [source,yaml] ---- include::examples/generated/keycloak-ispn.yaml[tag=keycloak-ispn-secret] ---- . Extend the {project_name} Custom Resource with `additionalOptions` as shown below. + [NOTE] ==== All the memory, resource and database configurations are skipped from the CR below as they have been described in <@links.ha id="deploy-keycloak-kubernetes" /> {section} already. Administrators should leave those configurations untouched. ==== + [source,yaml] ---- include::examples/generated/keycloak-ispn.yaml[tag=keycloak-ispn] ---- <1> The hostname of the remote {jdgserver_name} cluster. <2> The port of the remote {jdgserver_name} cluster. This is optional and it default to `11222`. <3> The Secret `name` and `key` with the {jdgserver_name} username credential. <4> The Secret `name` and `key` with the {jdgserver_name} password credential. <5> The `spi-connections-infinispan-quarkus-site-name` is an arbitrary {jdgserver_name} site name which {project_name} needs for its Infinispan caches deployment when a remote store is used. This site-name is related only to the Infinispan caches and does not need to match any value from the external {jdgserver_name} deployment. If you are using multiple sites for {project_name} in a cross-DC setup such as <@links.ha id="deploy-infinispan-kubernetes-crossdc" />, the site name must be different in each site. === Architecture This connects {project_name} to {jdgserver_name} using TCP connections secured by TLS 1.3. It uses the {project_name}'s truststore to verify {jdgserver_name}'s server certificate. As {project_name} is deployed using its Operator on OpenShift in the prerequisites listed below, the Operator already added the `service-ca.crt` to the truststore which is used to sign {jdgserver_name}'s server certificates. In other environments, add the necessary certificates to {project_name}'s truststore. == Next steps After the Aurora AWS database and {jdgserver_name} are deployed and running, use the procedure in the <@links.ha id="deploy-keycloak-kubernetes" /> {section} to deploy {project_name} and connect it to all previously created building blocks.
