【原创】Kubernetes-Statefulset（有状态负载）原理和实践

一、什么是有状态负载(Statufulset)?

StatefulSet 主要用于管理有状态的应用，它创建的Pod有持久型的标识符，即便Pod被调度的集群中不同的node节点或销毁重启后，标识符任然会保留，另外，支持Pod实例有序的部署和删除，它有如下特点：

1、Pod一致性：PodName、HostName、Pod的启动和停止的顺序在运行的过程中会保持一致

2、稳定的存储：通过VolumeClaimTemplate为每个Pod创建一个PVC和PV，即使删除掉Pod或进行缩容，不会删掉卷，当重启或者扩容后会自动将之前的卷进行挂载，这样就可以保证Pod有稳定的存储

3、稳定的网络：Statufulset结合headless service会给个创建的Pod配置一个DNS，其格式为(podname).(headless server name).namespace.svc.cluster.local，Pod实例之间可以通过域名进行访问

4、稳定的次序：即Pod是有顺序的，在部署或者扩展的时候要依据定义的顺序依次依次进行（即从0到N-1，在下一个Pod运行之前所有之前的Pod必须都是Running和Ready状态），删除或缩容的时候，会从N-1到0

二、Statufulset的使用场景

在应用中对上文Statufulset的特点有需求的可以考虑使用Statufulset，在实际的应用中，经常在分布式应用中使用，如多个mysql实例，各个实例之间有其对应关系，如：主从、主备，对数据的持久化保存、启动顺序、以及实例之间相互访问的场景。

三、Statufulset的创建和使用

 官方推荐的创建Statufulset的顺序为：创建PV->创建PVC->创建Headless Service->创建StatufulSet，读者可能会好奇，为什么需要需要PV、PVC和Headless Service？

1、为什么需要PV和PVC？

创建PV和PVC然后挂载到Pod的容器中，实现数据持久化的保存，本文采用的静态创建PVC进行讲述，更方便的做法是采用storageclass动态创建存储卷，这样可以减少集群管理员创建PV这个过程，这里另外的文章再详细描述。

2、为什么需要Headless Service？

笔者另外的的一篇文章“K8S-Serivce的原理和实践”详细介绍了的Headless Service的创建和特点，通过对Headless Service的名称进行域名解析后会返回后端所有的Pod的IP，而通过Statufulset副本控制器创建的每个Pod都会其配置一个DNS，这个域名的格式为：(podname).(headless server name).namespace.svc.cluster.local，从这里可以得知为什么需要先创建Headless Service，一个作用是返回后端所有的Pod以便Headless Service为每个Pod配置DNS，Pod配置DNS的时候会将Headless Service的名称作为Pod域名的一部分，可以测试下如果少了Service，StatufulSet能否创建成功

[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# cat statesfulset-test.yaml 
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: StatefulSet
metadata:
  name: myapp-statefulset
spec:
#  serviceName: myapp-headless-service
  replicas: 2
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: myapp-pod
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: myapp-pod
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: myapp
        image: ikubernetes/myapp:v1
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80
          name: web
        volumeMounts:
        - name: myappdata-pvc
          mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html
  volumeClaimTemplates:
  - metadata:
      name: myappdata-pvc
    spec:
      accessModes: [ "ReadWriteOnce" ]
      resources:
        requests:
          storage: 0.05Gi

[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# kubectl create -f sts-testservice.yaml
error: error validating "sts-testservice.yaml": error validating data: ValidationError(StatefulSet.spec): missing required field "serviceName" in io.k8s.api.apps.v1.StatefulSetSpec; if you choose to ignore these errors, turn validation off with --validate=false

在yaml文件中，注释掉serviceName后，再执行创建的操作会报错：缺少必填字段serviceName，可以看出若未指定此字段，则Statufulset不会创建成功。

在笔者前面的文章中K8S-PV和PVC的原理和实践介绍了PV和PVC的创建过程、在“K8S-Serivce的原理和实践”介绍了Headless Service的创建过程，这里都不再进行赘述看下已经创建好的PV、PVC和Headless Service

[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# kubectl get pv |grep pv-statefulset

看下Pod的的状态，如下所示，是Running状态

[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# kubectl get pod -o wide | grep myapp-statefulset 
myapp-statefulset-0                    1/1     Running            0          5d21h   10.122.235.239   k8s-master   <none>           <none>
myapp-statefulset-1                    1/1     Running            0          112m    10.122.235.253   k8s-master   <none>           <none>

验证域名：在前面提到Statufulset副本控制器结合headless service会为每个创建的Pod配置一个DNS域名，先接解析headless service的名称返回

[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# dig -t A myapp-headless-service.default.svc.cluster.local. @10.10.0.10

; <<>> DiG 9.11.4-P2-RedHat-9.11.4-26.P2.el8 <<>> -t A myapp-headless-service.default.svc.cluster.local. @10.10.0.10

myapp-headless-service.default.svc.cluster.local. 30 IN    A 10.122.235.253

可以看到通过对headless service的名称的域名解析后返回了所有的Pod的列表，再对单个的Pod的进行域名解析

[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# dig -t A myapp-statefulset-0.myapp-headless-service.default.svc.cluster.local. @10.10.0.10                #对Pod-0进行域名解析

同样也可以对myapp-statefulset-1这个Pod进行域名解析会返回此Pod的IP，2个Pod实例之间可以通过域名进行访问，适合数据库的主、从Pod实例互相访问的场景。

验证服务的稳定性：

[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# kubectl describe pod myapp-statefulset-0 | grep ClaimName
    ClaimName:  myappdata-pvc-myapp-statefulset-0
[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# kubectl delete pod myapp-statefulset-0
pod "myapp-statefulset-0" deleted
[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# kubectl get pod
NAME                                   READY   STATUS             RESTARTS   AGE
myapp-statefulset-0                    1/1     Running            0          14s
myapp-statefulset-1                    1/1     Running            0          129m

删除Pod后，重新创建的Pod名字与删除的一致，且使用同一个PVC，Pod的名称保持了一致性，因为使用还是原来的PVC，因此数据并未丢失，实现了持久化。

验证扩缩容的顺序：

现在是2个Pod，先缩容到1个，如下所示，可以看到缩容后停止的是myapp-statefulset-1 Pod，即验证先从序号为N-1开始删除，以N-1到0的顺序

[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# kubectl get sts
NAME                READY   AGE
myapp-statefulset   2/2     14d
[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# kubectl scale sts myapp-statefulset --replicas=1
statefulset.apps/myapp-statefulset scaled
[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# kubectl get pod |grep myapp
myapp-statefulset-0                    1/1     Running            0          5m43s

[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# kubectl get pvc|grep myappdata-pvc-myapp-statefulset
myappdata-pvc-myapp-statefulset-0   Bound    pv-statefulset-03            107374182400m   RWO                           15d
myappdata-pvc-myapp-statefulset-1   Bound    pv-statefulset-04            107374182400m   RWO                           15d

虽然对Pod进行了缩容，但是之前挂载在myapp-statefulset-1 Pod上的PVC卷并未删除，保留了历史数据，再扩容到3个Pod

[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# kubectl get pod |grep myapp-statefulset
myapp-statefulset-0                    1/1     Running            0          13m
myapp-statefulset-1                    1/1     Running            0          52s
myapp-statefulset-2                    0/1     Pending            0          49s

可以看到其扩容的创建Pod的顺序为0,1,2，其中myapp-statefulset-2还处于Pending状态，它会等myapp-statefulset-1为Running状态后才会执行创建

验证volume共享：

[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# kubectl describe pv pv-statefulset-testservice

 登录到容器共享目录 /usr/share/nginx/html（describe Pod Mounts可查看）目录下创建1个sts.txt文件

[root@k8s-master zhanglei]# kubectl exec -it myapp-statefulset-2 -- sh
/ # ls
bin    dev    etc    home   lib    media  mnt    proc   root   run    sbin   srv    sys    tmp    usr    var
/ # cd /usr/share/nginx/html
/usr/share/nginx/html # touch sts.txt

回到宿主机目录下验证该文件是否同步到宿主机/data/pod/volume7下，可以看到已完成了同步，验证完成，另外在宿主机此目录下的写入也会同步到容器映射目录。

[root@k8s-master volume7]# ls
sts.txt

四、总结

 StatufulSet非常适合类似数据库实例部署等对数据持久性、启动顺序、实例之间相互访问的场景，在创建的过程中要注意创建顺序：创建PV->创建PVC->创建Headless Service->创建StatufulSet。
