# Kubernetes on GCP with Terraform
|
|
|
|
Provision a Kubernetes cluster on GCP using Terraform and Kubespray
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The setup looks like following

|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
* Terraform 0.12.0 or newer
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
To get a cluster up and running you'll need a JSON keyfile.
|
|
Set the path to the file in the `tfvars.json` file and run the following:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
terraform apply -var-file tfvars.json -state dev-cluster.tfstate -var gcp_project_id=<ID of your GCP project> -var keyfile_location=<location of the json keyfile>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To generate kubespray inventory based on the terraform state file you can run the following:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./generate-inventory.sh dev-cluster.tfstate > inventory.ini
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should now have a inventory file named `inventory.ini` that you can use with kubespray, e.g.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ansible-playbook -i contrib/terraform/gcs/inventory.ini cluster.yml -b -v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Variables
|
|
|
|
### Required
|
|
|
|
* `keyfile_location`: Location to the keyfile to use as credentials for the google terraform provider
|
|
* `gcp_project_id`: ID of the GCP project to deploy the cluster in
|
|
* `ssh_pub_key`: Path to public ssh key to use for all machines
|
|
* `region`: The region where to run the cluster
|
|
* `machines`: Machines to provision. Key of this object will be used as the name of the machine
|
|
* `node_type`: The role of this node *(master|worker)*
|
|
* `size`: The size to use
|
|
* `zone`: The zone the machine should run in
|
|
* `additional_disks`: Extra disks to add to the machine. Key of this object will be used as the disk name
|
|
* `size`: Size of the disk (in GB)
|
|
* `boot_disk`: The boot disk to use
|
|
* `image_name`: Name of the image
|
|
* `size`: Size of the boot disk (in GB)
|
|
* `ssh_whitelist`: List of IP ranges (CIDR) that will be allowed to ssh to the nodes
|
|
* `api_server_whitelist`: List of IP ranges (CIDR) that will be allowed to connect to the API server
|
|
* `nodeport_whitelist`: List of IP ranges (CIDR) that will be allowed to connect to the kubernetes nodes on port 30000-32767 (kubernetes nodeports)
|
|
|
|
### Optional
|
|
|
|
* `prefix`: Prefix to use for all resources, required to be unique for all clusters in the same project *(Defaults to `default`)*
|
|
* `master_sa_email`: Service account email to use for the master nodes *(Defaults to `""`, auto generate one)*
|
|
* `master_sa_scopes`: Service account email to use for the master nodes *(Defaults to `["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"]`)*
|
|
* `worker_sa_email`: Service account email to use for the worker nodes *(Defaults to `""`, auto generate one)*
|
|
* `worker_sa_scopes`: Service account email to use for the worker nodes *(Defaults to `["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"]`)*
|
|
|
|
An example variables file can be found `tfvars.json`
|
|
|
|
## Known limitations
|
|
|
|
This solution does not provide a solution to use a bastion host. Thus all the nodes must expose a public IP for kubespray to work.
