2. Plan

We start by planning the migration. During the plan phase, Move2Kube will analyze the files in the source directory, detect what services exist, create a plan on how to containerize them using Dockerfiles, and transform them into Kubernetes deployments, services, ingress, etc.

In order to do the planning, Move2Kube has a large number of built-in transformers for different languages and platforms. Each transformer walks through the source directory from top to bottom and tries to find files that it recognizes. For example, a Golang transformer will try to find a go.mod file to detect a Golang project. Once it detects a directory containing a service, it will try to extract as much information from it as possible. Some of the information it tries to find are the service name, ports, environment variables, etc.

The plan file can be created using the CLI or through the UI. When complete, the plan file contains all the transformers that Move2Kube detected and ran. These transformers will be run again during the transformation phase.

The plan file also contains all the services that Move2Kube was able to detect. The service name comes from the transformer that detected that service. We can edit this plan before moving to the transformation phase. For now, leave it as is.

This information is stored in YAML format in a plan file called m2k.plan which is used later during the transformation phase. We can edit this file to enable/disable transformers, add/remove detected services, etc.

Prerequisites

Download the enterprise-app using the command below.

$ curl https://move2kube.konveyor.io/scripts/download.sh | bash -s -- -d samples/enterprise-app/src -r move2kube-demos
$ ls src
README.md		config-utils		customers	docs			frontend		gateway			orders

Planning using the CLI

  1. Run move2kube plan -s src to generate a plan for migrating the multiple components of the app to Kubernetes.
$ move2kube plan -s src

  1. Look at the plan file that was generated.
$ cat m2k.plan

Next step: Transform to generate the output needed to deploy the app to Kubernetes.

Planning using the UI

  1. Open the UI.
$ docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 quay.io/konveyor/move2kube-ui:v0.3.1
INFO[0000] Starting Move2Kube API server at port: 8080
  1. Create a new workspace.
  2. Create a new project.
  3. Scroll down to the project inputs section and then upload the source directory and the collected information zip files.

Optional: If you have collected Cloud Foundry runtime metadata using the move2kube collect command you can create a zip file and upload that as well. Make sure to upload it as sources.

  1. Scroll down to the planning section and click Start Planning.

Note Planning takes a few minutes.

Next step: Transform to generate the output needed to deploy app to Kubernetes.
