Bundle

A Bundle Resource within DataOS serves as a declarative and standardized mechanism for deploying a collection of Resources, Data Products, or applications in a single operation. It empowers data developers with the capability to programmatically orchestrate the deployment, scheduling, creation, and dismantling of code and infrastructure resources linked to these Data Products and applications in a unified manner.

As implied by its name, the Bundle Resource aggregates various DataOS Resources into a flattened directed acyclic graph (DAG). Within this structure, each node represents a distinct DataOS Resource, interconnected through dependency relationships.

Why use a Bundle?

End-to-End Definition

The manifest file of the Bundle can be used to define the logical quantum for a Data Product - it encompasses the ‘code’ part of a ‘Data Product’. It collectively provides a comprehensive definition of a Data Product or application. This representation simplifies the application of software engineering best practices, including source control, code review, testing, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes.

Streamlined Deployment

The Bundle eliminates fragmented deployment and validation procedures, enabling robust configuration management across multiple Workspaces and cloud environments. By referencing a Bundle Resource in the Data Product manifest, all related resources are orchestrated and deployed together, ensuring consistency and efficiency across the entire Data Product lifecycle.

For example, a pipeline of data-related tasks can be created where a Depot (a connection) is established, data is ingested using Flare, and quality checks are performed on the ingested data. All of these Resources, representing different stages of the pipeline, are included in a single Bundle. This Bundle must then be referenced in the Data Product manifest file, ensuring that the entire pipeline—covering data ingestion, quality checks, and connections—is seamlessly orchestrated and deployed as a unified entity.

How to create a Bundle?

Data developers can create a Bundle Resource by creating a YAML manifest and applying it via the DataOS CLI.

Create a Bundle YAML manifest

A Bundle Resource YAML manifest can be structurally broken down into following sections:

Configure the Resource meta section

In DataOS, a Bundle is categorized as a Resource-type. The Resource meta section within the YAML manifest encompasses attributes universally applicable to all Resource-types. The provided YAML codeblock elucidates the requisite attributes for this section:

# Resource meta section
name: ${{my-bundle}} # Resource name (mandatory)
version: v1beta # Manifest version (mandatory)
type: bundle # Resource-type (mandatory)
tags: # Resource Tags (optional)
  - ${{dataos:type:resource}}
  - ${{dataos:resource:bundle}}
description: ${{This is a bundle yaml manifest}} # Resource Description (optional)
owner: ${{iamgroot}} # Resource Owner (optional)
bundle: # Bundle-specific section mapping(mandatory)
  ${{Attributes of Bundle-specific section}}

For more information, refer to the Attributes of Resource Meta Section.

Configure the Bundle-specific section

The Bundle-specific section contains attributes specific to the Bundle Resource. This section comprises of four high-level sections:

  • Schedule
  • Workspaces
  • Bundle Resources
  • Additional Properties

Each of these sections should be appropriately configured when creating a Bundle YAML manifest. The high-level structure of the various separate sections within the Bundle-specific section is provided in the YAML below:

bundle:
  schedule: # Bundle schedule section (optional)
    ${{attributes for scheduling the bundle}}
  workspaces: # Bundle workspaces section (optional)
    ${{attributes specific to workspace configuration}}
  resources: # Bundle resources section (mandatory)
    ${{attributes specific to bundle resources}}
  properties: # Addtional Properties (optional)
    ${{additional properties}}
  manageAsUser: ${{iamgroot}} # Manage As User (optional)

Attribute Data Type Default Value Possible Value Requirement
bundle mapping none none mandatory
schedule mapping none none optional
workspaces list of mappings none none optional
resources list of mappings none none optional
properties mapping none none optional
manageAsUser string UserID of Owner UserID of use case assignee optional

Bundle Schedule section

The Bundle Schedule section allows you to specify scheduling attributes for the Bundle Resource. You can schedule the creation or deletion of a Bundle at specific intervals using a cron-like schedule. The following YAML code block outlines the attributes specified in the Bundle Workspaces section:

bundle: # Bundle-specific section (mandatory)
  schedule: # Bundle Schedule section (optional)
    initialState: ${{create}} # Initial State of Bundle (mandatory)
    timezone: ${{Asia/Kolkata}} # Time Zone (mandatory)
    create: # Bundle creation cron (optional)
      - cron: ${{'5 0 24 1 *'}}
    delete: # Bundle deletion cron (optional)
      - cron: ${{'25 0 24 1 *'}}

Refer to the table below for a summary of the attributes within the Bundle Workspaces section. For detailed information about each attribute, please refer to the respective links provided in the attribute column.

Attribute Data Type Default Value Possible Value Requirement
initialState string none create/delete mandatory
timezone string none valid timezone in the “Area/Location” format mandatory
create list of mappings none none optional
cron string none valid cron expression mandatory
delete list of mappings none none optional

Bundle Workspaces section

Within a Bundle, you have the option to deploy Workspace-level Resources in a new Workspace. To achieve this, you must declare the specifications of this new Workspace and reference it within the corresponding DataOS Workspace-level Resource within the Bundle Resources section.

The following YAML code block outlines the attributes specified in the Bundle Workspaces section:

bundle: # Bundle-specific section (mandatory)
  workspaces: # Bundle Workspaces section (optional)
    - name: ${{bundlespace}} # Workspace name (mandatory)
      description: ${{this is a bundle workspace}} # Workspace description (optional)
      tags: # Workspace tags (optional)
        - ${{bundle}}
        - ${{myworkspace}}
      labels: # Workspace labels (optional)
        ${{purpose: testing}}
      layer: ${{user}} # Workspace layer (mandatory)

Refer to the table below for a summary of the attributes within the Bundle Workspaces section. For detailed information about each attribute, please refer to the respective links provided in the attribute column.

Attribute Data Type Default Value Possible Value Requirement
name string none valid Workspace name mandatory
description string none any valid string optional
tags list of strings none any valid string optional
labels mapping none valid key-value pairs optional
layer string none user/system mandatory

Bundle Resources section

The Bundle Resources section allows you to define the Resources that make up the Data Product/application and their dependencies in the form of a flattened DAG. Each node within this DAG represents a Resource interconnected through a set of dependencies. Using the dependency and dependencyConditions, relationship and conditions can be specified such that resource only instantiates when the right dependency condition is met either the correct status and runtime, else it doesn’t. The following YAML code block outlines the attributes specified in the Bundle Workspaces section:

bundle: # Bundle-specific section (mandatory)
  resources:
    - id: ${{bundle-scanner}} # Resource ID (mandatory)
      workspace: ${{bundlespace}} # Workspace (optional)
      spec: # Resource spec (mandatory) 
        ${{resource spec manifest}}
      file: ${{/home/Desktop/bundle-scanner.yaml}} # Resource spec file (optional)
      dependencies: # Resource dependency (optional)
        - ${{bundle-depot}}
      dependencyConditions: # Resource dependency conditions (optional)
        - resourceId: ${{bundle-depot}} # Resource ID (mandatory)
          status: # Status dependency condition (optional)
            is: # Status is (optional)
              - ${{active}}
            contains: # Status contains (optional)
              - ${{activ}}
          runtime: # Runtime dependency condition (optional)
            is: # Runtime is (optional)
              - ${{running}}
            contains: # Runtime contains (optional)
              - ${{run}}

Refer to the table below for a summary of the attributes within the Bundle Workspaces section. For detailed information about each attribute, please refer to the respective links provided in the attribute column.

Attribute Data Type Default Value Possible Value Requirement
id string none valid string mandatory
workspace string none valid Workspace name optional (Mandatory for Workspace-level Resources)
spec mapping none valid Resource spec optional
file string none valid Resource config file path optional
dependencies list of strings none Resource ids within the DAG except the current one optional
dependencyConditions list of mappings none none optional
resourceId string none ID of dependent Resource mandatory
status mapping none none optional
is list of strings none none optional
contains list of strings none none optional
runtime mapping none none optional

Additional Properties section

The Additional Properties section lets you include any additional key-value properties relevant to the Bundle Resource. The following YAML code block outlines the attributes specified in the additional properties section:

bundle: # Bundle-specific section (mandatory)
    properties: # Additional properties section (optional)
        ${{alpha: beta}}
        ${{gamma: sigma}}

Refer to the table below for a summary of the attributes within the additional properties section. For detailed information about each attribute, please refer to the respective links provided in the attribute column.

Attribute Data Type Default Value Possible Value Requirement
properties mapping none properties in the form of key-value pairs optional

Data developers can alter the customize the behaviour of Bundle Resources by configuring the sections and attributes as needed. For a detailed insights into the description and constraints of the attributes within the Bundle-specific section, please consult the 'Attributes of Bundle-specific Section' documentation page.

Sample Bundle YAML manifest
monitor_manifest_structure.yml

Apply the Bundle YAML

After creating the Bundle YAML manifest, it's time to apply it to instantiate the Resource-instance in the DataOS environment. To apply the Bundle YAML file, utilize the  apply  command.

dataos-ctl apply -f ${{yaml config file path}}

# Sample
dataos-ctl apply -f /home/Desktop/my-bundle.yaml

Verify Bundle Creation

To ensure that your Bundle has been successfully created, you can verify it in two ways:

Check the name of the newly created bundle in the list of bundles created by you:

dataos-ctl get -t bundle

# Expected Output
INFO[0000] 🔍 get...                                     
INFO[0000] 🔍 get...complete                             

       NAME     | VERSION |  TYPE  | WORKSPACE | STATUS | RUNTIME |  OWNER      
----------------|---------|--------|-----------|--------|---------|----------------
    my-bundle   | v1beta  | bundle |           | active |         | iamgroot 

Alternatively, retrieve the list of all bundles created in your organization:

dataos-ctl get -t bundle -a

# Expected Output
INFO[0000] 🔍 get...                                     
INFO[0000] 🔍 get...complete                             

       NAME     | VERSION |  TYPE  | WORKSPACE | STATUS | RUNTIME | OWNER      
----------------|---------|--------|-----------|--------|---------|----------------
    my-bundle   | v1beta  | bundle |           | active |         | iamgroot 
    bundle101   | v1beta  | bundle |           | active |         | thor

You can also access the details of any created Bundle through the DataOS GUI in the Operations App.

Deleting Bundles

When a Bundle Resource is deleted, it triggers the removal of all resources associated with that Bundle, including Workspaces (if there are any specified within the Bundle definition).

Before deleting the Bundle, you must delete all workloads or resources that are dependent on it. This step ensures that there are no dependencies left that could cause issues during deletion. Once it's done, use the delete command to remove the specific Bundle Resource-instance from the DataOS environment:

# METHOD 1
dataos-ctl delete -t bundle -n ${{name of bundle}}
# Sample
dataos-ctl delete -t bundle -n my-bundle

# METHOD 2
dataos-ctl delete -i "${{identifier string for a resource}}"
# Sample 
dataos-ctl delete -i "my-bundle | v1beta | bundle |      "

Bundle Templates

The Bundle templates serve as blueprints, defining the structure and configurations for various types of Bundles, making it easier for data developers to consistently deploy resources. To know more, refer to the link: Bundle Templates.

Bundle Command Reference

Here is a reference to the various commands related to managing Bundles in DataOS:

  • Applying a Bundle: Use the following command to apply a Bundle using a YAML configuration file:

    dataos-ctl apply -f ${{yaml config file path}}
