h1. Introduction

Petals ESB Deployer is a tool to manage the deployment of a whole Petals ESB bus.

Deploying a whole Petals ESB bus includes to deploy Petals ESB containers, Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry, and service consumers or providers running on their binding components or service-engines correctly configured. The architecture of the Petals ESB bus and service providers/consumers to deploy are defined into a model.

Petals ESB Deployer is embedded into Petals ESB CLI through different commands:
* the command {{deploy}} is extended to deploy a whole Petals ESB bus, and to migrate an existing deployment to a new version,
* the command {{undeploy}} is extended to undeploy a whole Petals ESB bus,
* the dedicated command {{check-deployment}} will check an existing Petals ESB bus against a given model describing the expected Petals ESB bus.

h1. Use cases

The goal of Petals ESB Deployer is to resolve several deployment problematics:
* how to simplify the deployment of a Petals ESB bus avoiding to use scripts for automating deployment ?
* how to upgrade an existing deployment of a Petals ESB bus to a new version of this Petals ESB bus,
* how to deploy a set of service providers and consumers on different environments, for example DEV, TEST or PROD where the Petals ESB bus topology and external resources are different ?
* how to deploy a Petals ESB bus on different environments, for example STAGING, PRE-PROD, PROD where the Petals ESB bus topology is the same but where machines running Petals ESB bus and external resources are differents ?

h2. Deployment samples

h3. Classic: Different topologies following project progress

In this use case sample, service providers/consumers are deployed on a topology that is different according to the project step: DEV, TEST, PRE-PROD and PROD. Service providers/consumers are the same on each environment, but their instance number can be different.

h4. 1st step: development

In the first step of a project, developers will use a standalone topology running on their computer as following. The external web-service is provided by ressource {{host-dev-ws-0}} and must be configured at service unit 'SU P#1' level:
!deployment-samples-classic-DEV.png|width=40%,align=center!

h4. 2nd step: testing

Once the development is finished, some artefacts are delivered to the team "TEST":
* the list of service-unit that must be deployed,
* the service-assemblies or deployable service units as archives to deploy.

With the Petals ESB architect, the team "TEST" defines a simplified version of the Petals ESB bus topology that will be used for testing. Finally we can have such a topology using machines:
* {{host-test-0}} and {{host-test-1}} for both Petals ESB containers,
* {{host-test-2}} for the unique Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry member,
* {{host-test-ws-0}} hosts the external web-service resource that must be configured at service unit 'SU P#1' level.
!deployment-samples-classic-TEST.png|width=40%,align=center!

h4. 3rd step: pre-production validation

Once tests are passed, we validate deliverables on a pre-production environment for which the Petals ESB bus topology is the same than the production environment. As the pre-production environment is a mirror of the production environnment, this topology was defined by the Petals ESB architect in agreement with production operators. Service units deployed are the same than the one of the testing environment, only machines and few configuration items are different between environments PRE-PROD and PROD. Machines of the pre-production environment are:
* {{host-prep-0}}, {{host-prep-1}}, {{host-prep-2}} and , {{host-prep-3}} where are running Petals ESB containers,
* {{host-prep-4}} and {{host-prep-5}} where are running the Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry members,
* {{host-prep-ws-0}} hosts the external web-service resource that must be configured at service unit 'SU P#1' level.
!deployment-samples-classic-PRE-PROD.png|width=40%,align=center!

h4. 4th step: production deployment

If no problem has been detected in pre-production stage, the project is deployed on the production environment with the same topology and the same service-units than the one of the pre-production environment, except machines and few parameters:
* {{host-prod-0}}, {{host-prod-1}}, {{host-prod-2}} and , {{host-prod-3}} where are running Petals ESB containers,
* {{host-prod-4}} and {{host-prod-5}} where are running the Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry members,
* {{host-prod-ws-0}} hosts the external web-service resource that must be configured at service unit 'SU P#1' level.
!deployment-samples-classic-PROD.png|width=40%,align=center!

h3. Upgrade of a existing Petals ESB bus

In this use case sample, a Petals ESB bus is already deployed, and we want to upgrade it to a new version where:
* a set of service-units must be upgraded, including:
** some service-units to upgrade to an upper version,
** some new service-units to deploy,
** some existing service-units to undeploy,
* on a topology that can be also upgraded.
!deployment-samples-upgrading.png|width=60%,align=center!

h3. Isolating partners using several Petals ESB bus

In this use case sample, an organisation want to give access to some of its internal resources through its ESB. Moreover, to minimize problems between partners, the organisation wants to isolate each partner, but few partners can use same services.

So, the organisation decides to design an ESB based on several distinct Petals ESB buses. Each partner has its own set of service consumers/providers. Because the service level agreement can be different between partners, the Petals ESB bus topology associated to each partner can be the same or different. For mutualisation reasons, a unique Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry instance is used to host each registry of Petals ESB bus.

All Petals ESB buses are deployed in the same time, only one deployment for all Petals ESB buses. Adding or removing a partner is as an upgrade of the ESB of the organisation.

h1. Modeling your deployments

h2. Model overview

Petals ESB Deployer is based on a model defining your Petals ESB bus to deploy. This model contains all components and their configurations forming your Petals ESB bus.

The model of your Petals ESB bus is composed of 4 separated parts whose each goal is different:
* a 1st model defines the *applicative content* of your Petals ESB bus. The *Service-units Object Model* lists all service-units that must be deployed into your Petals ESB bus,
* a 2nd model defines the *topologic architecture* of your Petals ESB bus. The *Topology Object Model* designs your Petals ESB bus topology,
* and a *physical view* of your Petals ESB bus defining the placement of each components. The *Bus Object Model* locates:
** where are running the service-units, on which Petals ESB container of your topology,
** where are running your Petals ESB containers, on which machine,
** where are running your Petals ESB Hazelcast Registry nodes, on which machine,
** which kind of machines are running all needed components,
** where are running "virtual machine" (VM, DOcker container, ...), on which host,
** which external resources are to be used (as placeholder values).

These models are completed by a *Component Repository Model* that defines for each component:
* where its archive can be found,
* which are its configuration parameter,
* and, which shared libraries are required.
The *Component Repository Model* is not dedicated to your Petals ESB bus. It can be easily reused. Each Petals ESB distribution pack includes such a model for all components that delivers.

Information relative to the target environment can be expressed as hard-coded value and/or properties in the Bus Object Model. Each property value will be set when deploying the model as deployment extra parameters.

h2. Writing your deployment model

The best practice is to write your deployment model with different files, but you are able to write your deployment model in only one file.

h3. Writing your deployment model in separated files

The best practice is to write your deployment model with different files:
* a 1st file for your service units object model, written by your development team,

* a 3rd file for your topology object model, written by the Petals ESB architect,
* and a 4th file for your bus object model, written by the Petals ESB bus architect in agreement with operators, importing other models:
** several service units object models can be imported,
** several component repository models can be imported,
** several topology object models can be imported.

h1. Executing deployment

h2. Launching a deployment

A Petals ESB bus deployment is launched through the command {{deploy}} of [Petals ESB CLI|petalsclisnapshot:Petals ESB CLI 3.2.0-SNAPSHOT#deploy]. See the documentation of the command to get more information.

h2. Deployment execution

h3. Step #1: Pre-checks

Different errors can occurs during the full deployment process of a Petals ESB bus:
* errors linked to invalid model definitions,
* errors linked to unavailable artefacts,
* errors linked to unreachable machines,
* ...

Petals ESB Deployer avoid to start a deployment if one of these error can occur. So no undeployment is needed to redeploy the Petals ESB bus. That'why [static|#static-checks] and [dynamic|#dynamic-checks] checks are applied, example:
* validating that artefacts are available and have the right checksum (this check is not sufficient to assume that artefacts will be always reachable, but this avoid error on their URL),
* checking that all machines are reachable (this check is not sufficient to assume that machine will be always reachable, but this avoid error on hostname, IP address and port),
* ...

{anchor:static-checks}

h4. Static checks

First checks applied are the basic checks as:
* the [validation|#axioms] of the provided bus object model. If the bus object model is invalid, the deployment process is aborted and an error is returned,
* archives associated to service unit objects, component objects and shared library object are available and have the right checksum. If a associated archive is unavailable or has an unexpected checksum, the deployment process is aborted and an error is returned,
* containers declared as running on provisioned machines are really running (a JMX connection can be established). If a container is unreachable, the deployment process is aborted and an error is returned.

{anchor:dynamic-checks}

h4. Dynamic checks

To complete the basic checks a set of dynamic checks is applied to validate the execution context of each container running on provisioned machines:
* the identifier of the container running on the provisioned machine must match the identifier of the associated container instance. If not, the deployment process is aborted and an error is returned.

h3. Step #2: Deployment logic execution

h4. Deployment execution

According to the bus object model, service units instance are configured and deployed taking into account required dependencies as component instances and shared library instances.

h4. Concurrent deployments

To be able to redeploy a Petals ESB bus from scratch in a minimum time, the deployment of the Petals ESB bus must be the fastest as possible. So, Petals ESB containers are deployed concurrently.

h3. Step #3: Deployment verification

Once all is deployed, a verification of the deployment is launched:
* a model is built from the on-line Petals ESB bus (the one previously deployed),
* and compared to the initial bus object model.

They should be similar, the same object instances must exist on both side without other object instances.

h1. Verifying deployment

A Petals deployment model (ie. [bus object model|#busObjectModel]) can be used to verify the installation of a topology checking:
* topology architecture against the [topology object model|#topologyObjectModel],
* topology instantiation against the topology instance of the [bus object model|#busObjectModel],
* for each container of the topology:
** shared libraries installed,
** components and their configuration installed,
** service units deployed and their placeholders.

h2. Launching the verification

The installation verification is launched using Petals CLI through the command '{{to-be-defined}}' requiring a bus object model and a topology instance identified by the Petals ESB container on which Petals CLI is connected.

h2. Checking topology

First, the Petals ESB container on which we are connected *must* be declared as container instance into the bus object model. Next, the current topology is retrieved from the Petals ESB container on which we are connected. Each container of the current topology *must* be declared as container instance into the bus object model, and all containers instances of the bus object model must form the current topology.

The current registry retrieved from the current topology *must* match the registry instance declared in the bus object model: same implementation, same clustering.

h2. Checking share libraries

For each shared library instance referenced in the bus object model through component instances:
* it *must* be installed on the expected container,
* the checksum of the archive used for installation *must* match the checksum declared in the component repository model.

h2. Checking components

For each component instance referenced in the bus object model:
* it *must* be installed on the expected container,
* the checksum of the archive used for installation *must* match the checksum declared in the component repository model,
* the installed component *must* use only the shared libraries declared in the bus object model,
* the configuration of the installed component *must* match the configuration declared in the bus object model for all parameter values that are not deployment properties.

h2. Checking service units

For each service unit instance referenced in the bus object model:
* it *must* be deployed on the expected container,
* the checksum of the archive used for deployment *must* match the checksum declared in the service unit object model,
* the configuration of the service unit instance *must* match the configuration declared in the bus object model for all placeholder values that are not deployment properties.
