Azure Kubernetes Service description: "Deploy Spring Boot apps using AKS & MySQL" urlFragment: "spring-petclinic-microservices"

This microservices branch was initially derived from AngularJS version to demonstrate how to split sample Spring application into microservices. To achieve that goal we use IaC with Azure Bicep, MS build of OpenJDK 11, GitHub Actions, Azure AD Workload Identity, Azure Key Vault, Azure Container Registry, Azure Database for MySQL

See :

Pre-req

To get an Azure subscription:

If you have a Visual studio subscription then you can activate your free credits here
If you do not currently have one, you can sign up for a free trial subscription here

To install Azure Bicep locally, read https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/bicep/install

CI/CD

Use GitHub Actions to deploy the Java microservices

About how to build the container image, read :

Read :

You have to specify some KV secrets that will be then created in the GitHub Action Azure Infra services deployment workflow :

SPRING-DATASOURCE-PASSWORD
SPRING-CLOUD-AZURE-TENANT-ID
VM-ADMIN-PASSWORD

dash '-' are not supported in GH secrets, so the secrets must be named in GH with underscore '_'.

(Also the '&' character in the SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL must be escaped with '&' jdbc:mysql://petcliaks777.mysql.database.azure.com:3306/petclinic?useSSL=true&requireSSL=true&enabledTLSProtocols=TLSv1.2&verifyServerCertificate=true)

Add the App secrets used by the Spring Config to your GH repo secrets / Actions secrets / Repository secrets / Add :

Secret Name	Secret Value example
SPRING_DATASOURCE_PASSWORD	PUT YOUR PASSWORD HERE
SPRING_CLOUD_AZURE_TENANT_ID	PUT YOUR AZURE TENANT ID HERE
VM_ADMIN_PASSWORD	PUT YOUR PASSWORD HERE

A Service Principal is required for GitHub Action Runner, read https://aka.ms/azadsp-cli

SPN_APP_NAME="gha_aks_run"

# /!\ In CloudShell, the default subscription is not always the one you thought ...
subName="set here the name of your subscription"
subName=$(az account list --query "[?name=='${subName}'].{name:name}" --output tsv)
echo "subscription Name :" $subName

SUBSCRIPTION_ID=$(az account list --query "[?name=='${subName}'].{id:id}" --output tsv)
SUBSCRIPTION_ID=$(az account show --query id -o tsv)
TENANT_ID=$(az account show --query tenantId -o tsv)

Add your AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID to your GH repo Settings / Security / Secrets and variables / Actions / Actions secrets / Repository secrets

Read :

In the GitHub Action Runner, to allow the Service Principal used to access the Key Vault, execute the command below:

#az ad app create --display-name $SPN_APP_NAME > aad_app.json
# This command will output JSON with an appId that is your client-id. The objectId is APPLICATION-OBJECT-ID and it will be used for creating federated credentials with Graph API calls.

#export APPLICATION_ID=$(cat aad_app.json | jq -r '.appId')
#export APPLICATION_OBJECT_ID=$(cat aad_app.json | jq -r '.id')
#az ad sp create --id $APPLICATION_ID

Paste in your JSON object for your service principal with the name AZURE_CREDENTIALS as secrets to your GH repo Settings / Security / Secrets and variables / Actions / Actions secrets / Repository secrets

You can test your connection with CLI :

az login --service-principal -u $SPN_APP_ID -p $SPN_PWD --tenant $TENANT_ID

Add SUBSCRIPTION_ID, TENANT_ID, SPN_APP_ID and SPN_PWD as secrets to your GH repo Settings / Security / Secrets and variables / Actions / Actions secrets / Repository secrets

Finally Create a GH PAT "PKG_PAT" that can be use to , publish packages and delete packages

Your GitHub personal access token needs to have the workflow scope selected. You need at least delete:packages and read:packages scopes to delete a package. You need contents: read and packages: write permissions to publish and download artifacts

Once you commit, then push your code update to your repo, it will trigger a Maven build which you need to can CANCELL from https://github.com/USERNAME/aks-java-petclinic-mic-srv/actions/workflows/maven-build.yml the first time you trigger the workflow, anyway it will fail because the ACR does not exist yet and the docker build will fail to push the Images.

Note: the GH Hosted Runner / Ubuntu latest image has already Azure CLI installed

Deploy AKS and the petclinic microservices Apps with IaC

You can read the Bicep section but you do not have to run it through CLI, instead you can manually trigger the GitHub Action deploy-iac.yml, see the Workflow in the next section

AKS has dependencies on services outside of that virtual network. For a list of these dependencies see the AKS doc

Troubleshoot : If the AKS cluster was provisionned in a FAILED state, try :

az resource update --name $ClusterName --resource-group $RgName --resource-type Microsoft.ContainerService/managedClusters --debug
az resource show --name $ClusterName --resource-group $RgName --resource-type Microsoft.ContainerService/managedClusters --debug

Security

secret Management

Azure Key Vault integration is implemented through Spring Cloud for Azure

Read :

The Config-server does use the config declared on the repo at https://github.com/ezYakaEagle442/aks-cfg-srv/blob/main/application.yml and uses a User-Assigned Managed Identity to be able to read secrets from KeyVault.

If you face any issue, see the troubleshoot section

Starting services locally without Docker

Quick local test just to verify that the jar files can be run (the routing will not work out of a K8S cluster, and also the apps will fail to start as soon as management port 8081 will be already in use by config server ...) :

/!\ IMPORTANT WARNING: projects must be built with -Denv=cloud EXCEPT for api-gateway

The Git repo URL used by Spring config is set in spring-petclinic-config-server/src/main/resources/application.yml

If you want to know more about the Spring Boot Admin server, you might be interested in https://github.com/codecentric/spring-boot-admin

For Learning purpose the App uses Key Vault to fetch secrets like the DB password but if would be even better using Passwordless Features: https://aka.ms/delete-passwords

Understand the Spring Cloud Config

Read https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/spring-apps/quickstart-setup-config-server?tabs=Azure-portal&pivots=programming-language-java

Spring Boot is a framework aimed to help developers to easily create and build stand-alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can “just run”.

Spring Cloud Config provides server and client-side support for externalized configuration in a distributed system. With the Spring Cloud Config Server you have a central place to manage external properties for applications across all environments.

Spring Cloud Config Server is a centralized service that via HTTP provides all the applications configuration (name-value pairs or equivalent YAML content). The server is embeddable in a Spring Boot application, by using the @EnableConfigServer annotation.

In other words, the Spring Cloud Config Server is simply a Spring Boot application, configured as a Spring Cloud Config Server, and that is able to retrieve the properties from the configured property source. The property source can be a Git repository, svn or Consul service.

A Spring Boot application properly configured, can take immediate advantage of the Spring Config Server. It also picks up some additional useful features related to Environment change events. Any Spring Boot application can easily be configured as a Spring Cloud Config Client.

Containerize your Java applications

See the Azure doc Each micro-service is containerized using a Dockerfile. Example at ./docker/petclinic-customers-service/Dockerfile

About how to build the container image, read ACR doc

Database configuration

In its default configuration, Petclinic uses an in-memory database (HSQLDB) which gets populated at startup with data. A similar setup is provided for MySql in case a persistent database configuration is needed. Dependency for Connector/J, the MySQL JDBC driver is already included in the pom.xml files.

Set MySql connection String

You need to reconfigure the MySQL connection string with your own settings (you can get it from the Azure portal / petcliaks-mysql-server / Connection strings / JDBC): In the spring-petclinic-microservices-config/blob/main/application.yml :

spring:
  config:
    activate:
      on-profile: mysql
  datasource:
    schema: classpath*:db/mysql/schema.sql
    data: classpath*:db/mysql/data.sql
    url: jdbc:mysql://petcliaks.mysql.database.azure.com:3306/petclinic?useSSL=true&requireSSL=true&enabledTLSProtocols=TLSv1.2&verifyServerCertificate=true

In fact the spring.datasource.password will be automatically injected from KV secrets SPRING-DATASOURCE-PASSWORD using the config below in each micro-service : example for Customers-Service spring-petclinic-customers-service/src/main/resources/application.yml

spring:
  cloud:
    azure:
      profile: # spring.cloud.azure.profile
        # subscription-id:
        tenant-id: ${AZURE_TENANT_ID}
      credential:
        managed-identity-enabled: true        
      keyvault:
        secret:
          enabled: true
          property-sources:
            - name: kv-cfg-XXX # KV Config for each App XXX
              endpoint: ${SPRING_CLOUD_AZURE_KEY_VAULT_ENDPOINT}
              credential:
                managed-identity-enabled: true
                client-id: ${XXXX_SVC_APP_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID}
---

You can check the DB connection with this sample project.

Use the Spring 'mysql' profile

To use a MySQL database, you have to start 3 microservices (visits-service, customers-service and vets-services) with the mysql Spring profile. Add the --spring.profiles.active=mysql as programm argument.

In the application.yml of the [Configuration repository], set the initialization-mode to never ( or ALWAYS).

If you are running the microservices with Docker, you have to add the mysql profile into the (Dockerfile)[docker/Dockerfile]:

ENV SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE docker,mysql

All MySQL flexible-server parameters are set in the sql-load workflow called by the IaC deployment workflow

Observability

Read the Application Insights docs :

The config files are located in each micro-service at src/main/resources/applicationinsights.json The Java agent is downloaded in the App container in /tmp/app, you can have a look at a Docker file, example at ./docker/petclinic-customers-service/Dockerfile

By default, Application Insights Java 3.x expects the configuration file to be named applicationinsights.json and to be located in the same directory as applicationinsights-agent-3.x.x.jar.

You can specify your own configuration file path by using one of these two options:

APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONFIGURATION_FILE environment variable
applicationinsights.configuration.file Java system property

In our configuration, in the containers the applicationinsights.json is located at BOOT-INF/classes/applicationinsights.json so we must set APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONFIGURATION_FILE=BOOT-INF/classes/applicationinsights.json

Use the Petclinic application and make a few REST API calls

Open the Petclinic application and try out a few tasks - view pet owners and their pets, vets, and schedule pet visits:

open http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com//

You can also use your browser or curl the REST API exposed by the Petclinic application. The admin REST API allows you to create/update/remove items in Pet Owners, Pets, Vets and Visits. You can run the following curl commands:

URL ex:

https://..<cloudapp.azure.com>
http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/owners/3/pets/4
http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/owners/6/pets/8/visits
http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/vets

with Custom domains : http://appinnohandsonlab.com/#!/welcome

curl -X GET http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/api/customer/owners
curl -X GET http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/api/customer/owners/4
curl -X GET http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/api/customer/owners/

curl -X GET http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/api/visit/owners/6/pets/8/visits
curl -X GET http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/api/visit/owners/6/pets/8/visits

Open Actuator endpoints for API Gateway and Customers Service apps

Spring Boot includes a number of additional features to help you monitor and manage your application when you push it to production (Spring Boot Actuator: Production-ready Features). You can choose to manage and monitor your application by using HTTP endpoints or with JMX. Auditing, health, and metrics gathering can also be automatically applied to your application.

Actuator endpoints let you monitor and interact with your application. By default, Spring Boot application exposes health and info endpoints to show arbitrary application info and health information. Apps in this project are pre-configured to expose all the Actuator endpoints.

You can try them out by opening the following app actuator endpoints in a browser:

http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com

open http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/manage/
open http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/manage/env
open http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/manage/configprops

open http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/api/customer/manage
open http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/api/customer/manage/env
open http://petclinic.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/api/customer/manage/configprops

### Monitor Petclinic logs and metrics in Azure Log Analytics

To get the App logs :
```bash
LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE_CLIENT_ID=`az monitor log-analytics workspace show -n $LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE -g $RESOURCE_GROUP --query customerId  --out tsv`

az monitor log-analytics query \
  --workspace $LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE_CLIENT_ID \
  --analytics-query "ContainerLog | where LogEntry has 'error' |take 100" \
  --out table

Kusto Query with Log Analytics

Open the Log Analytics that you created - you can find the Log Analytics in the same Resource Group where you created the AKS cluster.

In the Log Analyics page, selects Logs blade and run any of the sample queries supplied below for AKS.

Type and run the following Kusto query to see all the logs from the AKS Service :

// https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/containers/container-insights-log-query
let startTimestamp = ago(1h);
KubePodInventory
| where TimeGenerated > startTimestamp
| project ContainerID, PodName=Name, Namespace
| where PodName contains "service" and Namespace startswith "petclinic"
| distinct ContainerID, PodName
| join
(
    ContainerLog
    | where TimeGenerated > startTimestamp
)
on ContainerID
// at this point before the next pipe, columns from both tables are available to be "projected". Due to both
// tables having a "Name" column, we assign an alias as PodName to one column which we actually want
| project TimeGenerated, PodName, LogEntrySource, LogEntry
| summarize by TimeGenerated, LogEntry
| order by TimeGenerated desc


let FindString = "error";//Please update term  you would like to find in LogEntry here
ContainerLog 
| where LogEntry has FindString 
| take 100

Custom metrics

Spring Boot registers a lot number of core metrics: JVM, CPU, Tomcat, Logback... The Spring Boot auto-configuration enables the instrumentation of requests handled by Spring MVC. All those three REST controllers OwnerResource, PetResource and VisitResource have been instrumented by the @Timed Micrometer annotation at class level.

customers-service application has the following custom metrics enabled:
- @Timed: petclinic.owner
- @Timed: petclinic.pet
visits-service application has the following custom metrics enabled:
- @Timed: petclinic.visit

Troubleshoot

If you face this error :

Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Connections using insecure transport are prohibited while --require_secure_transport=ON.

It might be related to the Spring Config configured at https://github.com/Azure-Samples/spring-petclinic-microservices-config/blob/master/application.yml which on-profile: mysql is set with datasource url : jdbc:mysql://${MYSQL_SERVER_FULL_NAME}:3306/${MYSQL_DATABASE_NAME}?useSSL=false

Check the MySQL connector doc Your JBCC URL should look like this for instance: url: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/petclinic?useSSL=false url: jdbc:mysql://${MYSQL_SERVER_FULL_NAME}:3306/${MYSQL_DATABASE_NAME}??useSSL=true url: jdbc:mysql://petclinic-mysql-server.mysql.database.azure.com:3306/petclinic?useSSL=true url: jdbc:mysql://petclinic-mysql-server.mysql.database.azure.com:3306/petclinic?useSSL=true&requireSSL=true&enabledTLSProtocols=TLSv1.2&verifyServerCertificate=true

If you face this Netty SSL Handshake issue :

eactor.core.Exceptions$ReactiveException: io.netty.handler.ssl.SslHandshakeTimeoutException: handshake timed out after 10000ms

It means that you may need to upgrade your Spring Boot version to the latest one... See netty/netty#12343

If you face this issue :

error Caused by: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: ${SPRING_CLOUD_AZURE_KEY_VAULT_ENDPOINT}

It means that the api-gateway project had been built with mvn -B clean package --file pom.xml -DskipTests -Denv=cloud This set the env=cloud at in the parent POM which then injects the spring-cloud-azure-starter-keyvault-secrets dependency at POM it looks like event just having such dependency would cause the runtime to look for ${SPRING_CLOUD_AZURE_KEY_VAULT_ENDPOINT}

If you face this issue :

Spring MVC found on classpath, which is incompatible with Spring Cloud Gateway
Please set spring.main.web-application-type=reactive or remove spring-boot-starter-web dependency.

See: -https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-gateway/reference/html/#gateway-starter

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68587832/spring-cloud-gateway-spring-mvc-found-on-classpath-which-is-incompatible-with

spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server depends on spring-boot-starter-web you would need to remove the dependency on spring-boot-starter-web in the api-gateway module

check with : mvn dependency:tree

mvn dependency:tree | grep spring-boot-starter-web

About How to use Env. variable in Spring Boot, see :

Key Vault troubleshoot with USER-Assigned MI

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/spring-apps/tutorial-managed-identities-key-vault?tabs=user-assigned-managed-identity Fast-Track for Azure OpenLab aka Java OpenHack uses SYSTEM-Assigned MI

The Azure SDK API change is summarized at Issue #28310

KeyVault integration runs easily when :

You use SYSTEM-Assigned MI, because then in the Config use by the Config-server you do NOT need to specify the client-id
When you use 1 & only 1 USER-Assigned MI for ALL your Apps/Micro-services, this is not a good practice from a security perspective as it is safer to assign 1 Identity to each App

When you use USER-Assigned MI, assigning 1 Identity to each App , see one App in Bicep. In the Config used by the Config-server if you declare as many property-sources as the number of micro-services setting the client-id with the App Id (using Env. Var. set in the GH Workflow) :

  keyvault:
    secret:
      enabled: true
      property-source-enabled: true
      property-sources:
        - name: kv-cfg-vets # KV Config for each App Vets-Service
          endpoint: ${SPRING_CLOUD_AZURE_KEY_VAULT_ENDPOINT}
          credential:
            managed-identity-enabled: true
            client-id: ${VETS_SVC_APP_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID}
          #  client-secret: ${AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET} for SPN not for MI
          # profile:
          #  tenant-id: ${SPRING_CLOUD_AZURE_TENANT_ID}
        - name: kv-cfg-visits # KV Config for each App Visits-Service
          endpoint: ${SPRING_CLOUD_AZURE_KEY_VAULT_ENDPOINT}
          credential:
            managed-identity-enabled: true
            client-id: ${VISITS_SVC_APP_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID}
        - name: kv-cfg-customers # KV Config for each App Customers-Service
          endpoint: ${SPRING_CLOUD_AZURE_KEY_VAULT_ENDPOINT}
          credential:
            managed-identity-enabled: true
            client-id: ${CUSTOMERS_SVC_APP_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID}

As a consequence this initially failed as each App uses the above Config and tried to fetch KV secrets from other App property-sources. which failed because it was not allowed as it was assigned only 1/4 Identity.

The solution is to remove all the above config from the Config repo and to add it instead in each App in \src\main\resources\application.yaml.

Ex for the vets-service, 1 & only 1 property-source is declared using 1 client-id only ${VETS_SVC_APP_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID} :

spring:
  cloud:
    azure:    
      #profile: # spring.cloud.azure.profile
        # subscription-id:
        # tenant-id: ${SPRING_CLOUD_AZURE_TENANT_ID}
      #credential:
        #managed-identity-enabled: true        
      keyvault:
        secret:
          enabled: true
          property-source-enabled: true
          # endpoint: ${SPRING_CLOUD_AZURE_KEY_VAULT_ENDPOINT}
          property-sources:
            - name: kv-cfg-vets # KV Config for each App Vets-Service
              endpoint: ${SPRING_CLOUD_AZURE_KEY_VAULT_ENDPOINT}
              credential:
                managed-identity-enabled: true
                client-id: ${VETS_SVC_APP_IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID}
              #  client-secret: ${AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET} for SPN not for MI
              # profile:
              #  tenant-id: ${SPRING_CLOUD_AZURE_TENANT_ID}
  profiles:
    active: mysql
