K10 Primer for Storage Connectivity Checks
Note
Run k10tools primer storage connect --help
command to observe
all supported sub-commands.
The k10tools primer storage connect
command family can be used
to check a given storage provider accessibility.
Currently the following storage providers are supported for this group of checks:
Azure
Google Cloud Storage (GCS)
Portworx (PWX)
S3 Compatible Storage
Veeam Backup Server (VBR)
vSphere
Each sub-command corresponding to a particular storage provider accepts
a configuration file with parameters required for making connection. The
configuration file format can be observed by issuing config-yaml
sub-command in the following way (example is for GCS):
% ./k10tools primer storage connect gcs config-yaml
# The geography in which Google Cloud Storage buckets are located
region: <gcs_region> # Example: us-central1
# Google Cloud Platform project ID
project_id: <gcs_project_id>
# Google Cloud Platform service key
service_key: <gcs_service_key>
# Maximum number of buckets to collect during checking connectivity to Google Cloud Storage.
list_buckets_limit: 10 # Default is 0
# Google Cloud Storage operations with required parameters to check (Optional).
# Use the same parameters to run actions against the same objects.
operations:
- action: PutObject
container_name: <gcs_bucket_name> # Container name
object_name: <gcs_object_name> # Object name
content_string: <object_content> # Object content string
- action: ListObjects
container_name: <gcs_bucket_name> # Container name
limit: 100 # Maximum number of items to collect (Optional). Default is 0
- action: DeleteObject
container_name: <gcs_bucket_name> # Container name
object_name: <gcs_object_name> # Object name
The output below is an example of running GCS connectivity checker:
% ./k10tools primer storage connect gcs -f ./gcs_check.yaml
Using "./gcs_check.yaml " file content as config source

K10 Primer for Storage Integration Checks
Note
Run k10tools primer storage check --help
command to observe
all supported sub-commands.
CSI Capabilities Check
The k10tools primer storage check csi
sub-command can be used to check
a specified CSI storage class is able to carry out snapshot and restoration
activities or report configuration issues if not. It creates a temporary
application to test this.
The command accepts a configuration file in the following format:
% cat ./csi_check.yaml
storage_class: standard-rwo # specifies the storage class
run_as_user: 1000 # specifies the user the pod runs as
The output below is an example of running CSI checker:
% ./k10tools primer storage check csi -f ./csi_check.yaml
Using "./csi_check.yaml" file content as config source
Starting CSI Checker. Could take up to 5 minutes

Direct Cloud Provider Integration Checks
The k10tools primer storage check
sub-command family allows
checking snapshot/restore capabilities through native API integration
of capable cloud storage providers via direct storage API invocations.
For now the following cloud providers are supported:
Amazon Elastic Block Store (AWS EBS)
Azure Persistent Disk
Google Compute Engine Persistent Disk (GCE PD)
To run a desired check the k10tools primer storage check
command
should be appended with either awsebs
, or azure
, or gcepd
suffix. Each of these sub-commands accepts parameters passed via
configuration files to create a test application performing
snapshot/restore via vendor specific storage APIs. The format of which
sub-command can be observed by executing
k10tools primer storage check <awsebs|azure|gcepd> config-yaml
.
Example configuration file format for GCE PD checker:
% ./k10tools primer storage check gcepd config-yaml
# GCP Project ID
project_id: <gcp_project_id>
# GCP Service Key
service_key: <gcp_service_key>
# Size of a GCE PD volume (in mebibytes) to be created during the test
volume_size: 100
The output below is an example of running GCE PD provider check:
% ./k10tools primer storage check gcepd -f ./gcepd_check.yaml
Using "./gcepd_check.yaml" file content as config source

vSphere First Class Disk Integration Check
Due to limited functionality provided by vSphere CSI driver K10 has to use both volume provisioning via CSI interface and manual calling vSphere API for doing snapshots and restores of volumes.
The k10tools primer storage check vsphere
sub-command provisions
a First Class Disk (FCD) volume using a CSI storage class and performs
snapshot/restore via vSphere API.
The command accepts a configuration file in the following format
(can be observed by running config-yaml
command):
% cat ./vsphere_check.yaml
endpoint: test.endpoint.local # The vSphere endpoint
username: ***** # The vSphere username
password: ***** # The vSphere password
storage_class: test-storage-class # vSphere CSI provisioner storage class name

K10 Primer for Authentication Service Checks
Note
Run k10tools primer auth check --help
command
to observe all supported sub-commands.
The k10tools primer auth check
sub-command family allows doing
basic sanity checks for 3rd-party authentication services. Currently
it supports checkers for ActiveDirectory/LDAP and OIDC.
Each service specific command accepts required parameters via
a configuration file, format of which can be observed by running
config-yaml
sub-command (example is for OIDC checker):
% ./k10tools primer auth check oidc config-yaml
# OIDC provider URL
provider_url: <provider_url> # Example: https://accounts.google.com
The output below is an example of running OIDC checker:
% ./k10tools primer auth check oidc -f ./oidc_check.yaml
Using "./oidc_check.yaml" file content as config source
Checking the OIDC provider: https://accounts.google.com
OIDC Provider Checker:
Successfully connected to the OIDC provider - OK
Generic Volume Snapshot Capabilities Check
The k10tools primer gvs-cluster-check
command can be used to check
if the cluster is compatible for K10 Generic Volume Snapshot.
K10 Generic backup commands are executed on a pod running
kanister-tools
image and checked for appropriate output.
Use -n
flag to provide namespace.
By default, kasten-io
namespace will be used.
Use -s
flag to provide a storageclass for the checks to be run against.
By default, no storage class will be used and the checks will be done using
temporary storage from the node the pod runs on.
Use --service-account
flag to specify the service account to be used
by pods during GVS checks. By default, default
service
account will be used.
Note
By default, the k10tools command will use the publicly available
kanister-tools image at ghcr.io/kanisterio/kanister-tools:<Kanister version>
.
Since this image is not available in air-gapped environments, to
override the default image, set the KANISTER_TOOLS
environment variable
to the kanister-tools image that is available in the air-gapped
environment's local registry. The kanister-tools version can be found by running
this command in a shell that has access to the public internet and with the
appropriate K10 version.
docker run --rm -it gcr.io/kasten-images/k10offline:<K10 version> list-images | grep kanister-tools
.
- Example:
export KANISTER_TOOLS=<your local registry>/<your local repository name>/kanister-tools:k10-<Kanister version>
% ./k10tools primer gvs-cluster-check
Validate Generic Volume Snapshot:
Pod Created successfully - OK
GVS Backup command executed successfully - OK
Pod deleted successfully - OK
K10 Generic Storage Backup Sidecar Injection
The k10tools k10genericbackup
can be used to make Kubernetes
workloads compatible for K10 Generic Storage Backup by injecting a
Kanister sidecar and setting the forcegenericbackup=true annotation
on the workloads.
Note
By default, the k10tools command will use the publicly available
kanister-tools image at ghcr.io/kanisterio/kanister-tools:<Kanister version>
.
Since this image is not available in air-gapped environments, to
override the default image, set the KANISTER_TOOLS
environment variable
to the kanister-tools image that is available in the air-gapped
environment's local registry. The kanister-tools version can be found by running
this command in a shell that has access to the public internet and with the
appropriate K10 version.
docker run --rm -it gcr.io/kasten-images/k10offline:<K10 version> list-images | grep kanister-tools
.
- Example:
export KANISTER_TOOLS=<your local registry>/<your local repository name>/kanister-tools:k10-<Kanister version>
## Usage ##
