# Ansible
|
|
|
|
## Installing Ansible
|
|
|
|
Kubespray supports multiple ansible versions and ships different `requirements.txt` files for them.
|
|
Depending on your available python version you may be limited in chooding which ansible version to use.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to deploy the ansible version used by kubespray into a python virtual environment.
|
|
|
|
```ShellSession
|
|
VENVDIR=kubespray-venv
|
|
KUBESPRAYDIR=kubespray
|
|
ANSIBLE_VERSION=2.12
|
|
virtualenv --python=$(which python3) $VENVDIR
|
|
source $VENVDIR/bin/activate
|
|
cd $KUBESPRAYDIR
|
|
pip install -U -r requirements-$ANSIBLE_VERSION.txt
|
|
test -f requirements-$ANSIBLE_VERSION.yml && \
|
|
ansible-galaxy role install -r requirements-$ANSIBLE_VERSION.yml && \
|
|
ansible-galaxy collection -r requirements-$ANSIBLE_VERSION.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Ansible Python Compatibility
|
|
|
|
Based on the table below and the available python version for your ansible host you should choose the appropriate ansible version to use with kubespray.
|
|
|
|
| Ansible Version | Python Version |
|
|
| --------------- | -------------- |
|
|
| 2.9 | 2.7,3.5-3.8 |
|
|
| 2.10 | 2.7,3.5-3.8 |
|
|
| 2.11 | 2.7,3.5-3.9 |
|
|
| 2.12 | 3.8-3.10 |
|
|
|
|
## Inventory
|
|
|
|
The inventory is composed of 3 groups:
|
|
|
|
* **kube_node** : list of kubernetes nodes where the pods will run.
|
|
* **kube_control_plane** : list of servers where kubernetes control plane components (apiserver, scheduler, controller) will run.
|
|
* **etcd**: list of servers to compose the etcd server. You should have at least 3 servers for failover purpose.
|
|
|
|
Note: do not modify the children of _k8s_cluster_, like putting
|
|
the _etcd_ group into the _k8s_cluster_, unless you are certain
|
|
to do that and you have it fully contained in the latter:
|
|
|
|
```ShellSession
|
|
etcd ⊂ k8s_cluster => kube_node ∩ etcd = etcd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When _kube_node_ contains _etcd_, you define your etcd cluster to be as well schedulable for Kubernetes workloads.
|
|
If you want it a standalone, make sure those groups do not intersect.
|
|
If you want the server to act both as control-plane and node, the server must be defined
|
|
on both groups _kube_control_plane_ and _kube_node_. If you want a standalone and
|
|
unschedulable control plane, the server must be defined only in the _kube_control_plane_ and
|
|
not _kube_node_.
|
|
|
|
There are also two special groups:
|
|
|
|
* **calico_rr** : explained for [advanced Calico networking cases](/docs/calico.md)
|
|
* **bastion** : configure a bastion host if your nodes are not directly reachable
|
|
|
|
Below is a complete inventory example:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
## Configure 'ip' variable to bind kubernetes services on a
|
|
## different ip than the default iface
|
|
node1 ansible_host=95.54.0.12 ip=10.3.0.1
|
|
node2 ansible_host=95.54.0.13 ip=10.3.0.2
|
|
node3 ansible_host=95.54.0.14 ip=10.3.0.3
|
|
node4 ansible_host=95.54.0.15 ip=10.3.0.4
|
|

|
## Group vars and overriding variables precedence
|
|
|
|
The group variables to control main deployment options are located in the directory ``inventory/sample/group_vars``.
|
|
Optional variables are located in the `inventory/sample/group_vars/all.yml`.
|
|
Mandatory variables that are common for at least one role (or a node group) can be found in the
|
|
`inventory/sample/group_vars/k8s_cluster.yml`.
|
|
There are also role vars for docker, kubernetes preinstall and control plane roles.
|
|
According to the [ansible docs](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_variables.html#variable-precedence-where-should-i-put-a-variable),
|
|
those cannot be overridden from the group vars. In order to override, one should use
|
|
the `-e` runtime flags (most simple way) or other layers described in the docs.
|
|
|
|
Kubespray uses only a few layers to override things (or expect them to
|
|
be overridden for roles):
|
|
|
|
Layer | Comment
|
|
------|--------
|
|
**role defaults** | provides best UX to override things for Kubespray deployments
|
|
inventory vars | Unused
|
|
**inventory group_vars** | Expects users to use ``all.yml``,``k8s_cluster.yml`` etc. to override things
|
|
inventory host_vars | Unused
|
|
playbook group_vars | Unused
|
|
playbook host_vars | Unused
|
|
**host facts** | Kubespray overrides for internal roles' logic, like state flags
|
|
play vars | Unused
|
|
play vars_prompt | Unused
|
|
play vars_files | Unused
|
|
registered vars | Unused
|
|
set_facts | Kubespray overrides those, for some places
|
|
**role and include vars** | Provides bad UX to override things! Use extra vars to enforce
|
|
block vars (only for tasks in block) | Kubespray overrides for internal roles' logic
|
|
task vars (only for the task) | Unused for roles, but only for helper scripts
|
|
**extra vars** (always win precedence) | override with ``ansible-playbook -e @foo.yml``
|
|
|

Note: Use the ``bash scripts/gen_tags.sh`` command to generate a list of all
|
|
tags found in the codebase. New tags will be listed with the empty "Used for"
|
|
field.
|
|
|
|
## Example commands
|
|
|
|
Example command to filter and apply only DNS configuration tasks and skip
|
|
everything else related to host OS configuration and downloading images of containers:
|
|
|
|
```ShellSession
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventory/sample/hosts.ini cluster.yml --tags preinstall,facts --skip-tags=download,bootstrap-os
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And this play only removes the K8s cluster DNS resolver IP from hosts' /etc/resolv.conf files:
|
|
|
|
```ShellSession
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventory/sample/hosts.ini -e dns_mode='none' cluster.yml --tags resolvconf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And this prepares all container images locally (at the ansible runner node) without installing
|
|
or upgrading related stuff or trying to upload container to K8s cluster nodes:
|
|
|
|
```ShellSession
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventory/sample/hosts.ini cluster.yml \
|
|
-e download_run_once=true -e download_localhost=true \
|
|
--tags download --skip-tags upload,upgrade
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: use `--tags` and `--skip-tags` wise and only if you're 100% sure what you're doing.
|
|
|
|
## Bastion host
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to not make your nodes publicly accessible (nodes with private IPs only),
|
|
you can use a so called *bastion* host to connect to your nodes. To specify and use a bastion,
|
|
simply add a line to your inventory, where you have to replace x.x.x.x with the public IP of the
|
|
bastion host.
|
|
|
|
```ShellSession
|
|
[bastion]
|
|
bastion ansible_host=x.x.x.x
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
## Beyond ansible 2.9
|
|
|
|
Ansible project has decided, in order to ease their maintenance burden, to split between
|
|
two projects which are now joined under the Ansible umbrella.
|
|
|
|
Ansible-base (2.10.x branch) will contain just the ansible language implementation while
|
|
ansible modules that were previously bundled into a single repository will be part of the
|
|
ansible 3.x package. Pleasee see [this blog post](https://blog.while-true-do.io/ansible-release-3-0-0/)
|
|
that explains in detail the need and the evolution plan.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** this change means that ansible virtual envs cannot be upgraded with `pip install -U`.
|
|
You first need to uninstall your old ansible (pre 2.10) version and install the new one.
|
|
|
|
```ShellSession
|
|
pip uninstall ansible ansible-base ansible-core
|
|
cd kubespray/
|
|
pip install -U .
|
|
```
|
