Paradox - InfluxDB Resource Controller

A Kubernetes controller for configuring and managing multiple InfluxDB (+ Cloud) Instances. A control plane for managing multiple-instances of Influx; located inside and out of Kubernetes.

Development

Currently, this is being developed locally against kind.

The current steps involved to create a cluster and install paradox are as follows:

1. Create a kind cluster kind create cluster --name paradox.
2. Ensure your current context is pointed at the new kind-paradox context.
3. Run make install to configure the CRDs against the cluster.
4. Run make run to start the controller.

See the samples directory for some example configuration.

These will need to be adjusted to point to and authenticate against either a cloud or local Influx instance.

High-Level

• Create, manage and replicate¹ Influx resources via a declarative API.
• Leverage common and established k8s tooling (e.g. kubectl) and standards.
• Tightly integrate Influx resources into Kubernetes.
  • Influx resource discovery via k8s APIs.
  • Automate Secret management (Influx token <-> k8s Secret).

Footnotes

1. Replicate organizational and resource structure between instances (not the time-series data it-self). ↩
