## Limitation: Removal of first kube-master and etcd-master
|
|
|
|
Currently you can't remove the first node in your kube-master and etcd-master list. If you still want to remove this node you have to:
|
|
|
|
### 1) Change order of current masters
|
|
|
|
Modify the order of your master list by pushing your first entry to any other position. E.g. if you want to remove `node-1` of the following example:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
children:
|
|
kube-master:
|
|
hosts:
|
|
node-1:
|
|
node-2:
|
|
node-3:
|
|
kube-node:
|
|
hosts:
|
|
node-1:
|
|
node-2:
|
|
node-3:
|
|
etcd:
|
|
hosts:
|
|
node-1:
|
|
node-2:
|
|
node-3:
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
change your inventory to:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
children:
|
|
kube-master:
|
|
hosts:
|
|
node-2:
|
|
node-3:
|
|
node-1:
|
|
kube-node:
|
|
hosts:
|
|
node-2:
|
|
node-3:
|
|
node-1:
|
|
etcd:
|
|
hosts:
|
|
node-2:
|
|
node-3:
|
|
node-1:
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 2) Upgrade the cluster
|
|
|
|
run `upgrade-cluster.yml` or `cluster.yml`. Now you are good to go on with the removal.
|
|
|
|
## Adding/replacing a worker node
|
|
|
|
This should be the easiest.
|
|
|
|
### 1) Add new node to the inventory
|
|
|
|
### 2) Run `scale.yml`
|
|
|
|
You can use `--limit=NODE_NAME` to limit Kubespray to avoid disturbing other nodes in the cluster.
|
|
|
|
Before using `--limit` run playbook `facts.yml` without the limit to refresh facts cache for all nodes.
|
|
|
|
### 3) Remove an old node with remove-node.yml
|
|
|
|
With the old node still in the inventory, run `remove-node.yml`. You need to pass `-e node=NODE_NAME` to the playbook to limit the execution to the node being removed.
|
|
|
|
If the node you want to remove is not online, you should add `reset_nodes=false` to your extra-vars: `-e node=NODE_NAME reset_nodes=false`.
|
|
Use this flag even when you remove other types of nodes like a master or etcd nodes.
|
|
|
|
### 5) Remove the node from the inventory
|
|
|
|
That's it.
|
|
|
|
## Adding/replacing a master node
|
|
|
|
### 1) Run `cluster.yml`
|
|
|
|
Append the new host to the inventory and run `cluster.yml`. You can NOT use `scale.yml` for that.
|
|
|
|
### 3) Restart kube-system/nginx-proxy
|
|
|
|
In all hosts, restart nginx-proxy pod. This pod is a local proxy for the apiserver. Kubespray will update its static config, but it needs to be restarted in order to reload.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# run in every host
|
|
docker ps | grep k8s_nginx-proxy_nginx-proxy | awk '{print $1}' | xargs docker restart
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4) Remove old master nodes
|
|
|
|
With the old node still in the inventory, run `remove-node.yml`. You need to pass `-e node=NODE_NAME` to the playbook to limit the execution to the node being removed.
|
|
If the node you want to remove is not online, you should add `reset_nodes=false` to your extra-vars.
|
|
|
|
## Adding an etcd node
|
|
|
|
You need to make sure there are always an odd number of etcd nodes in the cluster. In such a way, this is always a replace or scale up operation. Either add two new nodes or remove an old one.
|
|
|
|
### 1) Add the new node running cluster.yml
|
|
|
|
Update the inventory and run `cluster.yml` passing `--limit=etcd,kube-master -e ignore_assert_errors=yes`.
|
|
If the node you want to add as an etcd node is already a worker or master node in your cluster, you have to remove him first using `remove-node.yml`.
|
|
|
|
Run `upgrade-cluster.yml` also passing `--limit=etcd,kube-master -e ignore_assert_errors=yes`. This is necessary to update all etcd configuration in the cluster.
|
|
|
|
At this point, you will have an even number of nodes.
|
|
Everything should still be working, and you should only have problems if the cluster decides to elect a new etcd leader before you remove a node.
|
|
Even so, running applications should continue to be available.
|
|
|
|
If you add multiple ectd nodes with one run, you might want to append `-e etcd_retries=10` to increase the amount of retries between each ectd node join.
|
|
Otherwise the etcd cluster might still be processing the first join and fail on subsequent nodes. `etcd_retries=10` might work to join 3 new nodes.
|
|
|
|
## Removing an etcd node
|
|
|
|
### 1) Remove an old etcd node
|
|
|
|
With the node still in the inventory, run `remove-node.yml` passing `-e node=NODE_NAME` as the name of the node that should be removed.
|
|
If the node you want to remove is not online, you should add `reset_nodes=false` to your extra-vars.
|
|
|
|
### 2) Make sure only remaining nodes are in your inventory
|
|
|
|
Remove `NODE_NAME` from your inventory file.
|
|
|
|
### 3) Update kubernetes and network configuration files with the valid list of etcd members
|
|
|
|
Run `cluster.yml` to regenerate the configuration files on all remaining nodes.
|
|
|
|
### 4) Shutdown the old instance
|
|
|
|
That's it.
