# vSphere cloud provider
|
|
|
|
Kubespray can be deployed with vSphere as Cloud provider. This feature supports
|
|
- Volumes
|
|
- Persistent Volumes
|
|
- Storage Classes and provisioning of volumes.
|
|
- vSphere Storage Policy Based Management for Containers orchestrated by Kubernetes.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
You need at first to configure your vSphere environment by following the [official documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/vsphere/#vsphere-cloud-provider).
|
|
|
|
After this step you should have:
|
|
- UUID activated for each VM where Kubernetes will be deployed
|
|
- A vSphere account with required privileges
|
|
|
|
## Kubespray configuration
|
|
|
|
First you must define the cloud provider in `inventory/sample/group_vars/all.yml` and set it to `vsphere`.
|
|
```yml
|
|
cloud_provider: vsphere
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, in the same file, you need to declare your vCenter credential following the description below.

| vsphere_vcenter_port | TRUE | integer | | | Port of the vCenter API. Commonly 443 |
|
|
| vsphere_insecure | TRUE | integer | 1, 0 | | set to 1 if the host above uses a self-signed cert |

|
| vsphere_datastore | TRUE | string | | | Datastore name to use |
|
|
| vsphere_working_dir | TRUE | string | | | Working directory from the view "VMs and template" in the vCenter where VM are placed |
|
|
| vsphere_scsi_controller_type | TRUE | string | buslogic, pvscsi, parallel | pvscsi | SCSI controller name. Commonly "pvscsi". |
|
|
| vsphere_vm_uuid | FALSE | string | | | VM Instance UUID of virtual machine that host K8s master. Can be retrieved from instanceUuid property in VmConfigInfo, or as vc.uuid in VMX file or in `/sys/class/dmi/id/product_serial` (Optional, only used for Kubernetes <= 1.9.2) |
|
|
| vsphere_public_network | FALSE | string | | Blank | Name of the network the VMs are joined to |
|
|
| vsphere_resource_pool | FALSE | string | | Blank | Name of the Resource pool where the VMs are located (Optional, only used for Kubernetes >= 1.9.2) |
|
|
|
|
Example configuration
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
vsphere_vcenter_ip: "myvcenter.domain.com"
|
|
vsphere_vcenter_port: 443
|
|
vsphere_insecure: 1
|
|
vsphere_user: "k8s@vsphere.local"
|
|
vsphere_password: "K8s_admin"
|
|
vsphere_datacenter: "DATACENTER_name"
|
|
vsphere_datastore: "DATASTORE_name"
|
|
vsphere_working_dir: "Docker_hosts"
|
|
vsphere_scsi_controller_type: "pvscsi"
|
|
vsphere_resource_pool: "K8s-Pool"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Deployment
|
|
|
|
Once the configuration is set, you can execute the playbook again to apply the new configuration
|
|
```
|
|
cd kubespray
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventory/sample/hosts.ini -b -v cluster.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll find some useful examples [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/examples/tree/master/staging/volumes/vsphere) to test your configuration.
