Application Hosting

A hosted application is a software as a service (SaaS) solution, and it can be run remotely using commands. Application hosting gives administrators a platform for leveraging their own tools and utilities.


Note

Application hosting supports only Docker applications.

This module describes the Application Hosting feature and how to enable it.

Guidelines and Limitations for Application Hosting

This sections lists the guidelines and limitations for the application hosting feature:

  • The application hosting feature does not support IPv6 configuration in Cisco NX-OS Release 10.3(1)F.

  • The application hosting feature is supported on Cisco Nexus 9300 series FX, FX2, FX3, GX, and GX2 platforms and Cisco Nexus 9500 series modular switches with FX and GX line cards.

  • Only 1 interface per container is supported.

  • Application hosting does not support the configuration replace feature.

  • Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 10.3(3)F, the application hosting feature is supported on Cisco Nexus 9808 platform switches.

  • Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 10.3(3)F, the application hosting feature is supported on Cisco Nexus 9504 and 9508 platform switches with -R and -R2 line cards. This feature is also supported on Cisco N3K-C36180YC-R, N3K-C3636C-R, and N3K-C36480LD-R2 switches.

  • When performing a non-disruptive upgrade on Cisco Nexus 9300-FX2, 9300-FX3, 9300-GX, and 9300-GX2 platform switches from a release which does not support app-hosting to Cisco NX-OS Release 10.3(3)F, post upgrade, enabling feature app-hosting requires a system reload for TCAM entry to take effect.

  • Testing connectivity by pinging into the app container from NX-OS will not work because ping from NX-OS uses the netstack process. If bidirectional reachability needs to be verified, use bash ping: conf t ; feature bash ; run bash ; ping <app-ip-address>.

  • After configuring system vrf-member-change retain-l3-config command, when we change vrf membership on interface such that it falls in the same VRF as app-hosting bridge, and HSRP VIP matches subnet of app-hosting bridge IP, then VIP wont be removed from show running-config or DME and no faults will be raised. Rather, an HSRP syslog (severity 3) will be thrown notifying the user of misconfiguration.

Information About Application Hosting

This section provides information about Application Hosting.

Need for Application Hosting

The move to virtual environments has brought the need to build applications that are reusable, portable, and scalable. Application hosting gives administrators a platform for leveraging their own tools and utilities. An application, hosted on a network device, can serve a variety of purposes such as automation, configuration management monitoring, and integration with the existing tool chains.


Note

In this document, container refers to Docker applications.

Application Hosting Overview

The Cisco application-hosting framework is an NX-OS Python process that manages virtualized and container applications that run on devices.

Application hosting provides the following services:

  • Launches designated applications in containers.

  • Checks available resources (memory, CPU, and storage), and allocates and manages them.

  • Provides access to services through REST APIs.

  • Provides a CLI endpoint.

  • Provides an application-hosting infrastructure referred to as Cisco Application Framework (CAF).

  • Helps set up platform-specific networking (packet-path) through a special application bridge interface.

The application-hosting container that is referred to as the virtualization environment is provided to run a guest application on the host operating system. The Cisco NX-OS application hosting feature provides manageability and networking models for running a guest application. The virtualization infrastructure allows an administrator to define a logical interface that specifies the connectivity between the host and the guest. Cisco NX-OS maps the logical interface into a Virtual Network Interface Card (vNIC) that the guest application uses.

Applications that are to be deployed in the containers are packaged as .tar or .tar.gz files. The configuration that is specific to these applications is also packaged as part of the .tar or .tar.gz files.

How to Configure Application Hosting

The following sections provide information about the various tasks that comprise the configuration of application hosting.

Enabling Application Hosting Feature

Perform this task to enable the Cisco application hosting feature, which enables the user interface command and API interfaces to manage, administer, monitor, and troubleshoot the applications on the host system, and to perform a variety of related activities.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. configure terminal
  2. feature app-hosting
  3. end

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Example:

switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2

feature app-hosting

Example:

switch(config)# feature app-hosting

Enables the Cisco application hosting feature.

Step 3

end

Example:

switch(config)# end

Exits global configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC configuration mode.

Configuring Application Hosting Bridge Connections

Layer 3 connectivity to the application containers requires its own endpoint IPv4 addresses. In NX-OS, a virtual bridge mechanism called app-hosting bridge hosts the application containers inside the Cisco Nexus switch.

The bridge acts as a gateway to the application containers and helps route the traffic to the attached VRF routing context. The bridge forwards the subnet traffic of the application over the switch interface per the VRF context.

The hosting of the application containers with network connections across the switch interface requires a dedicated endpoint IP subnet with a minimum of 2 assignable addresses. One IP address is for the application container guest interface and the other IP address is for the application container gateway.

Internally, the application container guest interface is a Virtual Network Interface Card (vNIC), off the app-hosting virtual bridge.

Upgrades the existing application to a newer version. While doing so, this command stops, upgrades, and reverts the application to the pre-upgrade state.

Note

 

  • If you upgrade an application when it is in a STOPPED state, after a successful upgrade the new app-hosting state changes to ACTIVATED.

  • You can upgrade an application from a local storage location, that is, bootflash.

Configuring Docker Run Time Options

You can add a maximum of 30 lines of run time options. The system generates a concatenated string from line 1 though line 30. A string can have more than one Docker run time options.


Note

To change the run time option, the application must be in a deactivated state.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. enable
  2. configure terminal
  3. app-hosting appid application-name
  4. app-resource docker
  5. run-opts options

Configuring Application Hosting on the Management Interface

NX-OS allows application containers to share the network connections over the Cisco NX-OS management interface. You can internally set up a virtual NAT bridge and assign a private IP address to the guest vNIC interface. The guest interface private IP address gets automatically assigned by the Apphosting framework.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. enable
  2. configure terminal
  3. app-hosting appid name
  4. app-vnic management guest-interface network-interface
  5. end

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose

Step 1

enable

Example:

switch# enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:

switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

app-hosting appid name

Example:

switch(config)# app-hosting appid te_app

Configures an application and enters application-hosting configuration mode.

Step 4

app-vnic management guest-interface network-interface

Example:

switch(config-app-hosting)# app-vnic management guest-interface 0

Connects the guest interface to the management port, and enters application-hosting management-gateway configuration mode.

  • The management keyword specifies the Cisco NX-OS interface mgmt0 that connects to the container through private IPNAT mode.

  • The guest-interface network-interface keyword-argument pair specifies the container's internal Ethernet interface number that connects to the Cisco NX-OS management interface mgmt0. The example here uses guest-interface 0 for the container's Ethernet 0 interface.

Step 5

end

Example:

switch(config-app-hosting-mgmt-gateway)# end

Exits application-hosting management-gateway configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Overriding Application Resource Configuration

For resource changes to take effect, you must first stop and deactivate an app using the app-hosting stop and app-hosting deactivate commands, and then restart the app using the app-hosting activate and app-hosting start commands.

You can use these commands to reset both resources and the app-hosting appid configuration.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. enable
  2. configure terminal
  3. app-hosting appid name
  4. app-resource profile name
  5. cpu unit
  6. memory memory
  7. end

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose

Step 1

enable

Example:

switch# enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:

switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

app-hosting appid name

Example:

  • Only the custom profile name is supported.

Step 5

cpu unit

Example:

switch(config-app-resource-profile-custom)# cpu 7400

Changes the default CPU allocation for the application.

  • Resource values are application specific, and any adjustment to these values must ensure that the application can run reliably with the changes.

Step 6

memory memory

Example:

switch(config-app-resource-profile-custom)# memory 2048

Changes the default memory allocation.

Step 7

end

Example:

switch(config-app-resource-profile-custom)# end

Exits the custom application resource profile configuration mode and returns to the privileged EXEC mode.

Advanced Application Hosting Features

By default, App-hosting feature allows only Cisco supported and signed application packages. To install non-Cisco signed application docker images, the sign verification functionality must be turned off. This is a global configuration and affects all the applications that are being installed. The app-hosting signed-verification [disable | enable] command disables the sign verification and helps install the non-Cisco Docker applications.

When the application hosting feature is configured, it reserves 2 GB of file space from the bootflash as application storage space. If more space is required for a particular application, then you can increase the partition size. Alternatively, you can decrease the space based on the space requirements of the applications using the app-hosting bootflash backend storage limit size global configuration command. The application restarts.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. enable
  2. configure terminal
  3. app-hosting signed-verification [disable | enable]
  4. app-hosting bootflash backend storage limit size
  5. end

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose

Step 1

enable

Example:

switch# enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:

switch# configure terminal

Step 3

app-hosting signed-verification [disable | enable]

Example:

switch(config)# app-hosting signed-verification disable

Disables the package verification to allow non-Cisco applications.

  • Sign verification is enabled by default.

Step 4

app-hosting bootflash backend storage limit size

Example:

switch(config)# app-hosting bootflash backend storage limit 600

Configures the applications storage size required considering all the applications going to be installed.

  • 2048 MB would be used by default.

  • Size in MB; size must be less than the available free space in bootflash.

Step 5

end

Example:

switch(config-app-resource-profile-custom)# end

Exits the custom application resource profile configuration mode and returns to the privileged EXEC mode.

Copying Application Data

To copy application data into an application’s persistent data mount, use the app-hosting data appid <appid> copy command in the privileged EXEC mode. 

app-hosting data appid tea copy bootflash:src dest

where,

src is the source file from bootflash, and dest is the destination file path.

Deleting Application Data

To delete application data from the application’s persistent data mount, use the app-hosting data appid <appid> delete command in the privileged EXEC mode. 

app-hosting data appid tea delete file

where,

file is the file to be deleted from the application’s persistent data mount.
