### Preparation | ||
|
||
1. Make default namespace managed by Kmesh | ||
|
||
2. Deploy bookinfo as sample application and sleep as curl client | ||
|
||
3. Install service granularity waypoint for reviews service | ||
|
||
*The above steps could refer to [Install Waypoint | Kmesh](https://kmesh.net/en/docs/userguide/install_waypoint/#preparation)* | ||
|
||
4. And install waypoint for ratings service | ||
```bash | ||
istioctl x waypoint apply -n default --name ratings-svc-waypoint | ||
kubectl label service ratings istio.io/use-waypoint=ratings-svc-waypoint | ||
kubectl annotate gateway ratings-svc-waypoint sidecar.istio.io/proxyImage=ghcr.io/kmesh-net/waypoint:latest | ||
``` | ||
5. Apply application version routing by running the following commands: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/istio/istio/release-1.21/samples/bookinfo/networking/virtual-service-all-v1.yaml | ||
|
||
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/istio/istio/release-1.21/samples/bookinfo/networking/virtual-service-reviews-test-v2.yaml | ||
``` | ||
|
||
- With the above configuration, this is how requests flow: | ||
- `productpage` → `reviews:v2` → `ratings` (only for user `jason`) | ||
- `productpage` → `reviews:v1` (for everyone else) | ||
|
||
### Injecting an HTTP delay fault | ||
|
||
To test the Bookinfo application microservices for resiliency, inject a 7s delay between the `reviews:v2` and `ratings` microservices for user `jason`. This test will uncover a bug that was intentionally introduced into the Bookinfo app. | ||
|
||
Note that the `reviews:v2` service has a 10s hard-coded connection timeout for calls to the `ratings` service. Even with the 7s delay that you introduced, you still expect the end-to-end flow to continue without any errors. | ||
|
||
1. Create a fault injection rule to delay traffic coming from the test user `jason`. | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
kubectl apply -f - <<EOF | ||
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3 | ||
kind: VirtualService | ||
metadata: | ||
name: ratings | ||
spec: | ||
hosts: | ||
- ratings | ||
http: | ||
- match: | ||
- headers: | ||
end-user: | ||
exact: jason | ||
fault: | ||
delay: | ||
percentage: | ||
value: 100.0 | ||
fixedDelay: 7s | ||
route: | ||
- destination: | ||
host: ratings | ||
subset: v1 | ||
- route: | ||
- destination: | ||
host: ratings | ||
subset: v1 | ||
EOF | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Allow several seconds for the new rule to propagate to all pods. | ||
|
||
### Testing the delay configuration | ||
|
||
1. Open the Bookinfo web application in your browser. | ||
|
||
2. On the `/productpage` web page, log in as user `jason`. | ||
|
||
You expect the Bookinfo home page to load without errors in approximately 7 seconds. However, there is a problem: the Reviews section displays an error message: | ||
|
||
`Sorry, product reviews are currently unavailable for this book.` | ||
|
||
3. View the web page response time: | ||
|
||
![Fault_Injection1](/docs/user_guide/fault_injection1.png) | ||
|
||
### Understanding what happened | ||
|
||
As expected, the 7s delay you introduced doesn’t affect the `reviews` service because the timeout between the `reviews` and `ratings` service is hard-coded at 10s. However, there is also a hard-coded timeout between the `productpage` and the `reviews` service, coded as 3s + 1 retry for 6s total. As a result, the `productpage` call to `reviews` times out prematurely and throws an error after 6s. | ||
|
||
Bugs like this can occur in typical enterprise applications where different teams develop different microservices independently. Istio’s fault injection rules help you identify such anomalies without impacting end users. | ||
|
||
### Fixing the bug | ||
|
||
You would normally fix the problem by: | ||
|
||
1. Either increasing the `productpage` to `reviews` service timeout or decreasing the `reviews` to `ratings` timeout | ||
2. Stopping and restarting the fixed microservice | ||
3. Confirming that the `/productpage` web page returns its response without any errors. | ||
|
||
However, you already have a fix running in v3 of the `reviews` service. The `reviews:v3` service reduces the `reviews` to `ratings` timeout from 10s to 2.5s so that it is compatible with (less than) the timeout of the downstream `productpage` requests. | ||
|
||
If you migrate all traffic to `reviews:v3` as described in the [traffic shifting](https://kmesh.net/en/docs/userguide/try_traffic_shifting/) task, you can then try to change the delay rule to any amount less than 2.5s, for example 2s, and confirm that the end-to-end flow continues without any errors. | ||
|
||
### Injecting an HTTP abort fault | ||
|
||
Another way to test microservice resiliency is to introduce an HTTP abort fault. In this task, you will introduce an HTTP abort to the `ratings` microservices for the test user `jason`. | ||
|
||
In this case, you expect the page to load immediately and display the `Ratings service is currently unavailable` message. | ||
|
||
1. Create a fault injection rule to send an HTTP abort for user `jason`: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
kubectl apply -f - <<EOF | ||
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3 | ||
kind: VirtualService | ||
metadata: | ||
name: ratings | ||
spec: | ||
hosts: | ||
- ratings | ||
http: | ||
- match: | ||
- headers: | ||
end-user: | ||
exact: jason | ||
fault: | ||
abort: | ||
percentage: | ||
value: 100.0 | ||
httpStatus: 500 | ||
route: | ||
- destination: | ||
host: ratings | ||
subset: v1 | ||
- route: | ||
- destination: | ||
host: ratings | ||
subset: v1 | ||
EOF | ||
``` | ||
|
||
|
||
### Testing the abort configuration | ||
|
||
1. Open the Bookinfo web application in your browser. | ||
|
||
2. On the `/productpage`, log in as user `jason`. | ||
|
||
If the rule propagated successfully to all pods, the page loads immediately and the `Ratings service is currently unavailable` message appears. | ||
|
||
![Fault_Injection2](/docs/user_guide/fault_injection2.png) | ||
|
||
3. If you log out from user `jason` or open the Bookinfo application in an anonymous window (or in another browser), you will see that `/productpage` still calls `reviews:v1` (which does not call `ratings` at all) for everybody but `jason`. Therefore you will not see any error message. | ||
|
||
### Cleanup | ||
|
||
1. Remove the application routing rules: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
kubectl delete virtualservice ratings | ||
``` | ||
|
||
2. If you are not planning to explore any follow-on tasks, refer to the [Install Waypoint/Cleanup](https://kmesh.net/en/docs/userguide/install_waypoint/#cleanup) instructions to shutdown the application. | ||
