# Customize Pod Specification for Execution Environment

You can customize the specification of the Pod of the Execution Environment using **Container Group**.

In this example, we make the Execution Environment to work with the Pod with following specification .

- Run in a different namespace `ee-demo` instead of default one
- Have an additional label `app: ee-demo-pod`
- Have `requests` and `limits` for CPU and Memory resources
- Mount PVC as `/etc/demo`
- Run on the node with the label `awx-node-type: demo` using `nodeSelector`

## Procedure

### Prepare host and kubernetes

Prepare directories for Persistent Volumes defined in `containergroup/pv.yaml`.

```bash
sudo mkdir -p /data/demo
```

Create Namespace, PV, and PVC.

```bash
kubectl apply -k containergroup
```

Add label to the node.

```bash
$ kubectl label node kuro-awx01.kuro.lab awx-node-type=demo

$ kubectl get node --show-labels
NAME                  STATUS   ROLES                  AGE    VERSION        LABELS
kuro-awx01.kuro.lab   Ready    control-plane,master   3d7h   v1.21.2+k3s1   awx-node-type=demo,...
```

Copy `awx` role and `awx` rolebinding to new `ee-demo`, to assign `awx` role on `ee-demo` to `awx` serviceaccount on `awx` namespace.

```bash
$ kubectl -n awx get role awx -o json | jq '.metadata.namespace="ee-demo" | del(.metadata.ownerReferences)' | kubectl create -f -

$ kubectl -n ee-demo get role
NAME   CREATED AT
awx    2021-07-21T15:59:45Z

$ kubectl -n awx get rolebinding awx -o json | jq '.metadata.namespace="ee-demo" | del(.metadata.ownerReferences) | .subjects[0].namespace="awx"' | kubectl create -f -

$ kubectl -n ee-demo describe rolebinding awx
Name:         awx
Labels:       <none>
Annotations:  <none>
Role:
  Kind:  Role
  Name:  awx
Subjects:
  Kind            Name  Namespace
  ----            ----  ---------
  ServiceAccount  awx   awx
```

Note that this is a little tricky but super useful way to duplicate resource between namespace. `jq` command is required.

### Create Container Group

You can create new Container Group by `Administration` > `Instance Group`.

Chake `Customize pod specification` and define specification as following.

```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  namespace: ee-demo
  labels:
    app: ee-demo-pod
spec:
  containers:
    - image: 'quay.io/ansible/awx-ee:latest'
      name: worker
      args:
        - ansible-runner
        - worker
        - '--private-data-dir=/runner'
      resources:
        requests:
          cpu: 500m
          memory: 100Mi
        limits:
          cpu: 1000m
          memory: 200Mi
      volumeMounts:
        - name: demo-volume
          mountPath: /etc/demo
  nodeSelector:
    awx-node-type: demo
  volumes:
    - name: demo-volume
      persistentVolumeClaim:
        claimName: demo-claim
```

This is the customized manifest to achieve;

- Running in a different namespace `ee-demo` instead of default one
- Having an additional label `app: ee-demo-pod`
- Having `requests` and `limits` for CPU and Memory resources
- Mounting PVC as `/etc/demo`
- Running on the node with the label `awx-node-type: demo` using `nodeSelector`

You can also change `image`, but it will be overridden by specifying Execution Environment for the Job Template, Project Default, or Global Default.

## Quick Testing

The use of Container Group can be specified in the Job Template. After specifying and running the Job, you can see the result as follows.

The Pod for the Job is running in `ee-demo` namespace.

```bash
$ kubectl -n ee-demo get pod
NAME                      READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
automation-job-50-qsjbp   1/1     Running   0          17s
```

The Pod has your own specification as defined above. Note that the `image` in example output below has been overridden by the Execution Environment which defined in Job Template.

```bash
$ kubectl -n ee-demo get pod automation-job-50-qsjbp -o yaml
...
metadata:
  ...
  labels:
    ...
    app: ee-demo-pod
...
spec:
  containers:
    ...
    image: registry.example.com/ansible/ee:2.12-custom
    ...
    resources:
      limits:
        cpu: "1"
        memory: 200Mi
      requests:
        cpu: 500m
        memory: 100Mi
    ...
    volumeMounts:
    - mountPath: /etc/demo
      name: demo-volume
    ...
  nodeSelector:
    awx-node-type: demo
  ...
  volumes:
  - name: demo-volume
    persistentVolumeClaim:
      claimName: demo-claim
  ...
```
