Akraino Edge Stack Portal and Workflow engine us hides the complexity of the install and management tools of the large number of edge sites. Akraino Edge Stack portal could be agnostic to specific blueprint and support multiple blueprints from the community.

High Level Architecture

Akraino workflow process is designed by using spring boot and embedded Camunda workflow engine.  The workflow process and Spring boot application provide external rest API. Each external API is responsible for invoking respective Camunda workflow process. Camunda reads the process definitions from the document store or the classpath.  

Portal application

The portal application is responsible to initiate the build and deployment process. It is responsible for consuming the public API provided by Akraino spring boot application.  It is also responsible for updating the appropriate response, which is provided by the Akraino API.

Akraino Public API

Akraino public API defines the rest API for each portal process.  The portal application uses this API to execute various process like build, deploy etc.

...

Below section provides additional details about the workflow used within the seed code.

Build

This API is used to build and verify the tar file.

...

Info

Status Code 200 = Build Completed

Status Code other than 200 = Build API Failed

For each status, an appropriate message is returned.

Deploy 

The rest endpoint for this API is /deploy/

...

After completion of the respective status, API will start sending response to the Portal API, which is used to display the intermediate deploy status in Portal.


Tempest

The rest endpoint for this API is /tempest/

...

Info
  • "filename"  parameter is  used to execute the local  shell script
  • "fileparams" is used to pass the parameters to the local shell script
  • "filetrasferscript" is used to pass the script file which is used to  move the files from local to remote machine.
  • "filetransferparams" is used to pass the parameters to the  SCP shell script.
  • "remotserver", "username", "password", and "port" is used to connect to the remote machine to execute the script.
  • "destdir" is the directory where the remote script file is located.
  • "remotefilename" is the shell script file which needs to be executed in the remote machine.
  • "remotefileparams" is used to pass the parameters to the remote script file.
  • "deploymentverifier" is a script file, which is used to verify the deployment process.
  • "deploymentverifierfileparams" is the input parameter to the deployment verification script.

  • "noofiterations" is used to execute the deployment verification script multiple times within specified intervals.

  • "waittime" is used to specify the deployment verification script intervals.

Camunda BPM Engine

Camunda is a lightweight Business process engine, which will take the business process definitions and execute the business flow. Akraino workflow process has different rest API and each rest API is backed by respective business process workflow. Camunda Business process engine is embedded into the spring boot application, and when we start the spring boot application, Camunda business engine will read the process workflows from the class-path. 

Business process workflows

All akraino rest APIs are backed by Camunda business process engine. Each rest API has its own business process.  The business process workflows are given below.

Build Business process workflow



Deploy Business process workflow

Tempest Business process workflow
