# Deploy a Production Ready Kubernetes Cluster
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have questions, check the documentation at [kubespray.io](https://kubespray.io) and join us on the [kubernetes slack](https://kubernetes.slack.com), channel **\#kubespray**.
|
|
You can get your invite [here](http://slack.k8s.io/)
|
|
|
|
- Can be deployed on **[AWS](docs/aws.md), GCE, [Azure](docs/azure.md), [OpenStack](docs/openstack.md), [vSphere](docs/vsphere.md), [Packet](docs/packet.md) (bare metal), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (Experimental), or Baremetal**
|
|
- **Highly available** cluster
|
|
- **Composable** (Choice of the network plugin for instance)
|
|
- Supports most popular **Linux distributions**
|
|
- **Continuous integration tests**
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
To deploy the cluster you can use :
|
|
|
|
### Ansible
|
|
|
|
#### Usage
|
|
|
|
```ShellSession
|
|
# Install dependencies from ``requirements.txt``
|
|
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
|
|
|
|
# Copy ``inventory/sample`` as ``inventory/mycluster``
|
|
cp -rfp inventory/sample inventory/mycluster
|
|
|
|
# Update Ansible inventory file with inventory builder
|
|
declare -a IPS=(10.10.1.3 10.10.1.4 10.10.1.5)
|
|
CONFIG_FILE=inventory/mycluster/hosts.yaml python3 contrib/inventory_builder/inventory.py ${IPS[@]}
|
|
|
|
# Review and change parameters under ``inventory/mycluster/group_vars``
|
|
cat inventory/mycluster/group_vars/all/all.yml
|
|
cat inventory/mycluster/group_vars/k8s-cluster/k8s-cluster.yml
|
|
|
|
# Deploy Kubespray with Ansible Playbook - run the playbook as root
|
|
# The option `--become` is required, as for example writing SSL keys in /etc/,
|
|
# installing packages and interacting with various systemd daemons.
|
|
# Without --become the playbook will fail to run!
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventory/mycluster/hosts.yaml --become --become-user=root cluster.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: When Ansible is already installed via system packages on the control machine, other python packages installed via `sudo pip install -r requirements.txt` will go to a different directory tree (e.g. `/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages` on Ubuntu) from Ansible's (e.g. `/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible` still on Ubuntu).
|
|
As a consequence, `ansible-playbook` command will fail with:
|
|
|
|
```raw
|
|
ERROR! no action detected in task. This often indicates a misspelled module name, or incorrect module path.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
probably pointing on a task depending on a module present in requirements.txt (i.e. "unseal vault").
|
|
|
|
One way of solving this would be to uninstall the Ansible package and then, to install it via pip but it is not always possible.
|
|
A workaround consists of setting `ANSIBLE_LIBRARY` and `ANSIBLE_MODULE_UTILS` environment variables respectively to the `ansible/modules` and `ansible/module_utils` subdirectories of pip packages installation location, which can be found in the Location field of the output of `pip show [package]` before executing `ansible-playbook`.
|
|
|
|
### Vagrant
|
|
|
|
For Vagrant we need to install python dependencies for provisioning tasks.
|
|
Check if Python and pip are installed:
|
|
|
|
```ShellSession
|
|
python -V && pip -V
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If this returns the version of the software, you're good to go. If not, download and install Python from here <https://www.python.org/downloads/source/>
|
|
Install the necessary requirements
|
|
|
|
```ShellSession
|
|
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
vagrant up
|
|
```

The recommended docker version is 19.03. The kubelet might break on docker's non-standard version numbering (it no longer uses semantic versioning). To ensure auto-updates don't break your cluster look into e.g. yum versionlock plugin or apt pin).
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- **Minimum required version of Kubernetes is v1.16**
|
|
- **Ansible v2.9+, Jinja 2.11+ and python-netaddr is installed on the machine that will run Ansible commands**
|
|
- The target servers must have **access to the Internet** in order to pull docker images. Otherwise, additional configuration is required (See [Offline Environment](docs/offline-environment.md))
|
|
- The target servers are configured to allow **IPv4 forwarding**.
|
|
- **Your ssh key must be copied** to all the servers part of your inventory.
|
|
- The **firewalls are not managed**, you'll need to implement your own rules the way you used to.
|
|
in order to avoid any issue during deployment you should disable your firewall.
|
|
- If kubespray is ran from non-root user account, correct privilege escalation method
|
|
should be configured in the target servers. Then the `ansible_become` flag
|
|
or command parameters `--become or -b` should be specified.
|
|
|
|
Hardware:
|
|
These limits are safe guarded by Kubespray. Actual requirements for your workload can differ. For a sizing guide go to the [Building Large Clusters](https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/cluster-large/#size-of-master-and-master-components) guide.

## Network Plugins
|
|
|
|
You can choose between 10 network plugins. (default: `calico`, except Vagrant uses `flannel`)
|
|
|
|
- [flannel](docs/flannel.md): gre/vxlan (layer 2) networking.
|
|
|
|
- [Calico](https://docs.projectcalico.org/latest/introduction/) is a networking and network policy provider. Calico supports a flexible set of networking options
|
|
designed to give you the most efficient networking across a range of situations, including non-overlay
|
|
and overlay networks, with or without BGP. Calico uses the same engine to enforce network policy for hosts,
|
|
pods, and (if using Istio and Envoy) applications at the service mesh layer.
|
|
|
|
- [canal](https://github.com/projectcalico/canal): a composition of calico and flannel plugins.
|
|
|
|
- [cilium](http://docs.cilium.io/en/latest/): layer 3/4 networking (as well as layer 7 to protect and secure application protocols), supports dynamic insertion of BPF bytecode into the Linux kernel to implement security services, networking and visibility logic.
|
|
|
|
- [contiv](docs/contiv.md): supports vlan, vxlan, bgp and Cisco SDN networking. This plugin is able to
|
|
apply firewall policies, segregate containers in multiple network and bridging pods onto physical networks.
|
|
|
|
- [ovn4nfv](docs/ovn4nfv.md): [ovn4nfv-k8s-plugins](https://github.com/opnfv/ovn4nfv-k8s-plugin) is the network controller, OVS agent and CNI server to offer basic SFC and OVN overlay networking.
|
|
|
|
- [weave](docs/weave.md): Weave is a lightweight container overlay network that doesn't require an external K/V database cluster.
|
|
(Please refer to `weave` [troubleshooting documentation](https://www.weave.works/docs/net/latest/troubleshooting/)).
|
|
|
|
- [kube-ovn](docs/kube-ovn.md): Kube-OVN integrates the OVN-based Network Virtualization with Kubernetes. It offers an advanced Container Network Fabric for Enterprises.
|
|
|
|
- [kube-router](docs/kube-router.md): Kube-router is a L3 CNI for Kubernetes networking aiming to provide operational
|
|
simplicity and high performance: it uses IPVS to provide Kube Services Proxy (if setup to replace kube-proxy),
|
|
iptables for network policies, and BGP for ods L3 networking (with optionally BGP peering with out-of-cluster BGP peers).
|
|
It can also optionally advertise routes to Kubernetes cluster Pods CIDRs, ClusterIPs, ExternalIPs and LoadBalancerIPs.
|
|
|
|
- [macvlan](docs/macvlan.md): Macvlan is a Linux network driver. Pods have their own unique Mac and Ip address, connected directly the physical (layer 2) network.
|
|
|
|
- [multus](docs/multus.md): Multus is a meta CNI plugin that provides multiple network interface support to pods. For each interface Multus delegates CNI calls to secondary CNI plugins such as Calico, macvlan, etc.
|
|
|
|
The choice is defined with the variable `kube_network_plugin`. There is also an
|
|
option to leverage built-in cloud provider networking instead.
|
|
See also [Network checker](docs/netcheck.md).
|
|
|
|
## Ingress Plugins
|
|
|
|
- [ambassador](docs/ambassador.md): the Ambassador Ingress Controller and API gateway.
|
|
|
|
- [nginx](https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx): the NGINX Ingress Controller.
