- About MATRIXX Cloud Native Integration
- Cloud Native Utilities
  MATRIXX Digital Commerce includes Docker images that contain utilities to aid in the deployment, operation, and configuration of cloud native MATRIXX installations. You can run these utilities directly or scheduled as cron jobs using the MATRIXX Helm chart.
- Data Export
  The MATRIXX Data Export Docker image (data-export) contains the data-export.jar utility which uses checkpoint files to transform database contents and MATRIXX Event File (MEF) files to comma-separated value (CSV) files. This image also creates SQL files for creating RDBMS tables and loading the data from the CSV files.
- MATRIXX Toolbox Utilities
  The MATRIXX Toolbox Docker image contains scripts and utilities to aid in the deployment and operation of MATRIXX Digital Commerce installations for Docker and Kubernetes.
  - execute_on_pod
    The execute_on_pod script executes a command on one or more pods selected by label. The script waits until it has found one or more pods that match the labels and are in a 'ready' state. Depending on the --mode option, the command is then run on a random pod (matching the labels), the first matching pod found, or all matching pods.
  - wait_for_url
    The wait_for_url script waits indefinitely for a URL to respond with HTTP 200 (by default), so that pod creation can be paused until dependencies are ready.
  - wait_for_host_port
    The wait_for_host_port script waits indefinitely for a port on a given host to become accessible, indicating that dependencies are ready for pod creation.
  - pre_uninstall
    The pre_uninstall script cleans up resources created by MATRIXX Engine and Traffic Routing Agent (TRA) controllers before continuing with software removal. These resources are not created by Helm and therefore are not removed automatically.
  - initialize_mongodb
    The initialize_mongodb script performs the one-time setup of the Event Repository. The script requires the configuration and dependencies from the engine processing pods. Rather than duplicate the setup, the script searches for a ready processing pod and executes the required scripts on that pod. The script selects a ready processing pod at random to help distribute workload.

MATRIXX Toolbox Utilities

The MATRIXX Toolbox Docker image contains scripts and utilities to aid in the deployment and operation of MATRIXX Digital Commerce installations for Docker and Kubernetes.

These utilities include optional Linux libraries not included in the UBI (RedHat Universal Base Image) and MATRIXX-specific scripts that are more efficiently delivered together than they would be individually.

It is not always appropriate to make use of third-party Docker images that perform functions similar to the scripts included in this image. This image enables a deployment to consist of soley MATRIXX-managed images.

The toolbox image includes the following MATRIXX utilities (in /scripts):

Execute on Pod (execute_on_pod).
Wait for URL (wait_for_url).
Wait for Port on Host (wait_for_host_port).
Pre-Uninstall Tasks (pre-uninstall).
Initialize Event Repository (initialize_mongodb).

The toolbox image also includes the following third-party utilities:

rsync
nc
wget
curl
kubectl

The following shows example usage of the wget utility from the toolbox image. In this example, the utility retrieves a copy of the MATRIXX corporate logo image:

docker run --rm YOUR_DOCKER_REGISTRY/matrixx-toolbox:version wget https://matrixx.com/logo-default
