title: Migrate In Batch
---

## Scenario

Assuming the user has a single kubernetes cluster which already has many native resource installed.

The user want to install Karmada for multi-cluster management, and hope to migrate the resource that already exist from original cluster to Karmada.
It is required that the pods already exist not be affected during the process of migration, which means the relevant container not be restarted.

So, how to migrate the existing resource?

![](../../resources/administrator/migrate-in-batch-1.jpg)

## Recommended migration strategy

If you only want to migrate individual resources, you can just refer to [promote-legacy-workload](./promote-legacy-workload) to do it one by one.

If you want to migrate a batch of resources, you are advised to take over all resources based on resource granularity through few `PropagationPolicy` at first,
then if you have more propagate demands based on application granularity, you can apply higher priority `PropagationPolicy` to preempt them.

Thus, how to take over all resources based on resource granularity? You can do as follows.

![](../../resources/administrator/migrate-in-batch-2.jpg)

### Step one

Since the existing resources will be token over by Karmada, there is no longer need to apply the related YAML config to member cluster.
That means, you can stop the corresponding operation or pipeline.

### Step two

Apply all the YAML config of resources to Karmada control plane, as the [ResourceTemplate](https://karmada.io/docs/core-concepts/concepts#resource-template) of Karmada.

### Step three

Edit a [PropagationPolicy](https://karmada.io/docs/core-concepts/concepts#propagation-policy), and apply it to Karmada control plane. You should pay attention to two fields:

* `spec.conflictResolution: Overwrite`**the value must be [Overwrite](https://github.com/karmada-io/karmada/blob/master/docs/proposals/migration/design-of-seamless-cluster-migration-scheme.md#proposal).**
* `spec.resourceSelectors`:defining which resources are selected to migrate

here we provide two examples:

#### Eg1. migrate all deployments

If you want to migrate all deployments from `member1` cluster to Karmada, you shall apply:

```yaml
apiVersion: policy.karmada.io/v1alpha1
kind: PropagationPolicy
metadata:
name: deployments-pp
spec:
conflictResolution: Overwrite
placement:
clusterAffinity:
clusterNames:
- member1
priority: 0
resourceSelectors:
- apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
schedulerName: default-scheduler
```

#### Eg2. migrate all services

If you want to migrate all services from `member1` cluster to Karmada, you shall apply:

```yaml
apiVersion: policy.karmada.io/v1alpha1
kind: PropagationPolicy
metadata:
name: services-pp
spec:
conflictResolution: Overwrite
placement:
clusterAffinity:
clusterNames:
- member1
priority: 0
resourceSelectors:
- apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
schedulerName: default-scheduler
```

### Step four

The rest migration operations will be finished by Karmada automatically.

## PropagationPolicy Preemption and Demo

Besides, if you have more propagate demands based on application granularity, you can apply higher priority `PropagationPolicy`
to preempt those you applied in the migration mentioned above. Detail demo you can refer to the tutorial [Resource Migration](../../tutorials/resource-migration.md)

## Objectives

Assuming you have a single kubernetes cluster which already has many native resource installed, furthermore,
you want to migrate the existing resource to Karmada and then achieve multi-cluster management.

So, this section will guide you to cover:

- Migrate all the existing resource from original cluster to Karmada based on resource granularity.
- Apply higher priority `PropagationPolicy` to meet more propagate demands based on application granularity.

## Prerequisites

### Karmada with multi cluster has been installed

**Step 1: Run the command**

```shell
$ git clone https://github.com/karmada-io/karmada
$ cd karmada
$ hack/local-up-karmada.sh
$ export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/karmada.config:~/.kube/members.config
```

**Note:**

Before guide started, we should install at least three kubernetes clusters, one is for Karmada control plane, the other two for business clusters.
For convenience, we use [hack/local-up-karmada.sh](https://karmada.io/docs/installation/#install-karmada-for-development-environment) script to quickly prepare the above clusters.

After the above command executed, you will see Karmada control plane installed with multi members clusters.

### Enable PropagationPolicyPreemption in karmada-controller-manager

**Step 2: Run the command**

```shell
$ kubectl --context karmada-host get deploy karmada-controller-manager -n karmada-system -o yaml | sed '/- --failover-eviction-timeout=30s/{n;s/- --v=4/- --feature-gates=PropagationPolicyPreemption=true\n &/g}' | kubectl --context karmada-host replace -f -
```

**Note:**

The feature `PropagationPolicy Priority and Preemption` was introduced in v1.7, and it is controlled by the feature gate `PropagationPolicyPreemption` which is disabled by default.

You can just execute the above one command to enable this feature gate. Or, if you want to use a more cautious approach, you can do like this:

1. execute `kubectl --context karmada-host edit deploy karmada-controller-manager -n karmada-system`
2. check if feature gate `--feature-gates=PropagationPolicyPreemption=true` is existed in `spec.template.spec.containers[0].command` field.
3. If not, you shall add `--feature-gates=PropagationPolicyPreemption=true` into that field.

### Preset resource in a member cluster

To simulate resources already exist in the member cluster, we deploy some simple Deployments and Services to `member1` cluster.

**Step 3: Write the code**

Create new file `/tmp/deployments-and-services.yaml` and copy text below to it:

```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: nginx-deploy
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginx
replicas: 2
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx:latest
ports:
- containerPort: 80
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: nginx-svc
spec:
selector:
app: nginx
type: NodePort
ports:
- port: 80
nodePort: 30000
targetPort: 80
```

**Step 4: Run the command**

```shell
$ kubectl --context member1 apply -f /tmp/deployments-and-services.yaml
deployment.apps/nginx-deploy created
service/nginx-svc created
deployment.apps/hello-deploy created
service/hello-svc created
```

Thus, we can use `member1` as the cluster with existing resources, while `member2` as a bare cluster.

## Tutorials

### Migrate all the resources to Karmada

1)Apply the local file `/tmp/deployments-and-services.yaml` written just now to Karmada control plane too.

**Step 5: Run the command**

```shell
➜ ✗ kubectl --context karmada-apiserver apply -f /tmp/deployments-and-services.yaml
deployment.apps/nginx-deploy created
service/nginx-svc created
deployment.apps/hello-deploy created
service/hello-svc created
```

2)Write a `PropagationPolicy` to the local file `/tmp/pp-for-migrating-deployments-and-services.yaml`.

**Step 6: Write the code**

Create new file `/tmp/pp-for-migrating-deployments-and-services.yaml` and copy text below to it:

```yaml
apiVersion: policy.karmada.io/v1alpha1
kind: PropagationPolicy
metadata:
name: migrate-pp
spec:
conflictResolution: Overwrite
placement:
clusterAffinity:
clusterNames:
- member1
priority: 0
resourceSelectors:
- apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
- apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
schedulerName: default-scheduler
```

**Note:**

You should pay attention to two fields:

* `spec.conflictResolution: Overwrite`:the value must be [Overwrite](https://github.com/karmada-io/karmada/blob/master/docs/proposals/migration/design-of-seamless-cluster-migration-scheme.md#proposal).
* `spec.resourceSelectors`:selecting resources to migrate, you can define your custom [ResourceSelector](https://karmada.io/docs/userguide/scheduling/override-policy/#resource-selector).

3)Apply `/tmp/pp-for-migrating-deployments-and-services.yaml` to Karmada control plane.

**Step 7: Run the command**

```shell
$ kubectl --context karmada-apiserver apply -f /tmp/pp-for-migrating-deployments-and-services.yaml
propagationpolicy.policy.karmada.io/migrate-pp created
```

Now, you have finished the migration, isn't it so easy?

4)Verification

**Step 8: Run the command**

```shell
$ kubectl --context karmada-apiserver get deploy
$ kubectl --context karmada-apiserver get rb
```

You can see the Deployments in Karmada are all ready and the `aggregatedStatus` of `ResourceBinding` is applied.

### Apply higher priority PropagationPolicy

1)Write a high priority `PropagationPolicy` to the local file `/tmp/pp-for-nginx-app.yaml`.

**Step 9: Write the code**

Create new file `/tmp/pp-for-nginx-app.yaml` and copy text below to it:

```yaml
apiVersion: policy.karmada.io/v1alpha1
kind: PropagationPolicy
metadata:
name: nginx-pp
spec:
conflictResolution: Overwrite
placement:
clusterAffinity:
clusterNames:
- member1
- member2 ## focus on this line
priority: 10
preemption: Always ## focus on this line
resourceSelectors:
- apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
name: nginx-deploy
- apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
name: nginx-svc
schedulerName: default-scheduler
```

2)Apply `/tmp/pp-for-nginx-app.yaml` to Karmada control plane.

**Step 10: Run the command**

```shell
$ kubectl --context karmada-apiserver apply -f /tmp/pp-for-nginx-app.yaml
propagationpolicy.policy.karmada.io/nginx-pp created
```

3)Verification

**Step 11: Run the command**

```shell
$ kubectl --context member2 get deploy -o wide
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE CONTAINERS IMAGES SELECTOR
nginx-deploy 2/2 2 2 5m24s nginx nginx:latest app=nginx
$ kubectl --context member2 get svc -o wide
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE SELECTOR
nginx-svc NodePort 10.13.161.255 <none> 80:30000/TCP 54s app=nginx
...
```

As you see, you would find `nginx` application related resource are all propagated to `member2` cluster,
which means the higher priority `PropagationPolicy` does work.
