# Kubernetes on UpCloud with Terraform
|
|
|
|
Provision a Kubernetes cluster on [UpCloud](https://upcloud.com/) using Terraform and Kubespray
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The setup looks like following

|
The nodes uses a private network for node to node communication and a public interface for all external communication.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
* Terraform 0.13.0 or newer
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Assumes you are at the root of the kubespray repo.
|
|
|
|
For authentication in your cluster you can use the environment variables.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export TF_VAR_UPCLOUD_USERNAME=username
|
|
export TF_VAR_UPCLOUD_PASSWORD=password
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To allow API access to your UpCloud account, you need to allow API connections by visiting [Account-page](https://hub.upcloud.com/account) in your UpCloud Hub.
|
|
|
|
Copy the cluster configuration file.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
CLUSTER=my-upcloud-cluster
|
|
cp -r inventory/sample inventory/$CLUSTER
|
|
cp contrib/terraform/upcloud/cluster-settings.tfvars inventory/$CLUSTER/
|
|
export ANSIBLE_CONFIG=ansible.cfg
|
|
cd inventory/$CLUSTER
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Edit `cluster-settings.tfvars` to match your requirement.
|
|
|
|
Run Terraform to create the infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
terraform init ../../contrib/terraform/upcloud
|
|
terraform apply --var-file cluster-settings.tfvars \
|
|
-state=tfstate-$CLUSTER.tfstate \
|
|
../../contrib/terraform/upcloud/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should now have a inventory file named `inventory.ini` that you can use with kubespray.
|
|
You can use the inventory file with kubespray to set up a cluster.
|
|
|
|
It is a good idea to check that you have basic SSH connectivity to the nodes. You can do that by:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ansible -i inventory.ini -m ping all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can setup Kubernetes with kubespray using the generated inventory:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini ../../cluster.yml -b -v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Teardown
|
|
|
|
You can teardown your infrastructure using the following Terraform command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
terraform destroy --var-file cluster-settings.tfvars \
|
|
-state=tfstate-$CLUSTER.tfstate \
|
|
../../contrib/terraform/upcloud/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
