Description

certified kubernetes 1.13

This module installs and configures Kubernetes which is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. For efficient management and discovery, containers that make up an application are grouped into logical units.

To bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster in a secure and extensible way, this module uses the kubeadm toolkit.

Setup

Install this module, generate the configuration, add the OS and hostname yaml files to Hiera, and configure your node.

Included in this module is Kubetool, a configuration tool that auto-generates the Hiera security parameters, the discovery token hash, and other configurations for your Kubernetes cluster. To simplify installation and use, the tool is available as a Docker image.

Generating the module configuration

If Docker is not installed on your workstation, install it from here.

The Kubetool Docker image takes each parameter as an environment variable.

Note:: The version of Kubetool you use must match the version of the module on the Puppet Forge. For example, if using the module version 1.0.0, use puppet/kubetool:1.0.0.

To output a yaml file into your working directory that corresponds to the operating system you want Kubernetes to run on, and for each controller node, run either of these docker run commands:

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/mnt --env-file env puppet/kubetool:{$module_version}

The docker run command above includes an env file which is included in the root folder of this repo.

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/mnt -e OS=ubuntu -e VERSION=1.10.2 -e CONTAINER_RUNTIME=docker -e CNI_PROVIDER=cilium -e CNI_PROVIDER_VERSION=1.4.3 -e ETCD_INITIAL_CLUSTER=kube-control-plane:172.17.10.101,kube-replica-control-plane-01:172.17.10.210,kube-replica-control-plane-02:172.17.10.220 -e ETCD_IP="%{networking.ip}" -e KUBE_API_ADVERTISE_ADDRESS="%{networking.ip}" -e INSTALL_DASHBOARD=true puppet/kubetool:{$module-version}

The above parameters are:

  • OS: The operating system Kubernetes runs on.
  • VERSION: The version of Kubernetes to deploy. Must follow X.Y.Z format. (Check kubeadm regex rule for more information)
  • CONTAINER_RUNTIME: The container runtime Kubernetes uses. Set this value to docker (officially supported) or cri_containerd. Advanced Kubernetes users can use cri_containerd, however this requires an increased understanding of Kubernetes, specifically when running applications in a HA cluster. To run a HA cluster and access your applications, an external load balancer is required in front of your cluster. Setting this up is beyond the scope of this module. For more information, see the Kubernetes documentation.
  • CNI_PROVIDER: The CNI network to install. Set this value to weave, flannel, calico or cilium.
  • CNI_PROVIDER_VERSION The CNI version to use. calico and cilium uses this variable to reference the correct deployment file. Current version cilium is 1.4.3, calico is 3.18
  • ETCD_INITIAL_CLUSTER: The server hostnames and IPs in the form of hostname:ip. When in production, include three, five, or seven nodes for etcd.
  • ETCD_IP: The IP each etcd member listens on. We recommend passing the fact for the interface to be used by the cluster.
  • KUBE_API_ADVERTISE_ADDRESS: The IP each etcd/apiserver instance uses on each controller. We recommend passing the fact for the interface to be used by the cluster.
  • INSTALL_DASHBOARD: A boolean which specifies whether to install the dashboard.

Kubetool creates:

  • A yaml file that corresponds to the operating system specified by the OS parameter. To view the file contents, run cat Debian.yaml for a Debian system, or run cat RedHat.yaml for RedHat. The yaml files produced for each member of the etcd cluster contain certificate information to bootstrap an initial etcd cluster. Ensure these are also placed in your hieradata directory at the node level.

  • A discovery token hash and encoded values required by Kubernetes. To regenerate the values, including certificates and tokens, run the kubetool command again.

Adding the {$OS}.yaml and {$hostname}.yaml files to Hiera

Add the {$OS}.yaml file to the same control repo where your Hiera data is, usually the data directory. By leveraging location facts, such as the pp_datacenter trusted fact, each cluster can be allocated its own configuration.

Possible Error fetching hiera data

If the below error is encounterd

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Class[Kubernetes]:
  parameter 'api_server_count' expects an Integer value, got Undef
  parameter 'token' expects a String value, got Undef
  parameter 'discovery_token_hash' expects a String value, got Undef (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/site.pp, line: 138, column: 3) on node xxx.example.local

It means that hiera is not getting the values from the associated yaml files stored in the data folder so it sets some of the required values as Undefined.

Check your hiera.yaml file and ensure that it contains entries for {OS}.yaml and {$hostname}.yaml

hierarchy:
  - name: "Family"
    path: Debian.yaml
  - name: "Host"
    path: xxx.example.local.yaml  

Configuring your node

After the {$OS}.yaml and {$hostname}.yaml files have been added to the Hiera directory on your Puppet server, configure your node as the controller or worker.

A controller node contains the control plane and etcd. In a production cluster, you should have three, five, or seven controllers. A worker node runs your applications. You can add as many worker nodes as Kubernetes can handle. For information about nodes in Kubernetes, see the Kubernetes documentation.

Note: A node cannot be a controller and a worker. It must be one or the other.

To make a node a controller, add the following code to the manifest:

class {'kubernetes':
  controller => true,
}

To make a node a worker, add the following code to the manifest:

class {'kubernetes':
  worker => true,
}

Installing Kubernetes on different OS

Currently, puppetlab-kubernetes is compatible with Ubuntu Xenial. For different OS, below parameters can be assigned.

For instance, installing kubernetes version 1.20.0 on Debian buster

# Docker repo and key as documented in
# https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/debian/
  docker_apt_location => 'https://download.docker.com/linux/debian',
  docker_apt_repos    => 'stable',
  docker_apt_release  => 'buster',
  docker_key_id       => '9DC858229FC7DD38854AE2D88D81803C0EBFCD88',
  docker_key_source   => 'https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg',
# Different available version can be found by apt-cache madison docker-ce
  docker_version => '5:20.10.5~3-0~debian-buster',
  docker_package_name => 'docker-ce',
# Kubernetes Version
  kubernetes_version  => '1.20.0',

Validating and unit testing the module

This module is compliant with the Puppet Development Kit (PDK), which provides tools to help run unit tests on the module and validate the modules's metadata, syntax, and style.

Note: To run static validations and unit tests against this module using the pdk validate and pdk test unit commands, you must have Puppet 5 or higher installed. In the following examples we have specified Puppet 5.3.6.

To validate the metadata.json file, run the following command:

pdk validate metadata --puppet-version='5.3.6'

To validate the Puppet code and syntax, run the following command:

pdk validate puppet --puppet-version='5.3.6'

Note: The pdk validate ruby command ignores the excluded directories specified in the .rubocop.yml file. Therefore, to validate the Ruby code style and syntax you must specify the directory the code exists in.

In the following example we validate the Ruby code contained in the lib directory:

pdk validate ruby lib --puppet-version='5.3.6'

To unit test the module, run the following command:

pdk test unit --puppet-version='5.3.6'

Development

If you would like to contribute to this module, please follow the rules in the CONTRIBUTING.md. For more information, see our module contribution guide.

To run the acceptance tests you can use Puppet Litmus with the Vagrant provider by using the following commands:

# install rvm with and ruby >2.5
rvm install "ruby-2.5.1"
gem install bundler
bundler install
bundle exec rake 'litmus:provision_list[all_supported]'
bundle exec rake 'litmus:install_agent[puppet5]'
bundle exec rake 'litmus:install_module'
bundle exec rake 'litmus:acceptance:parallel'

For more information about Litmus please see the wiki.

As currently Litmus does not allow memory size and cpu size parameters for the Vagrant provisioner task we recommend to manually update the Vagrantfile used by the provisioner and add at least the following specifications for the puppetlabs-kubernetes module acceptance tests:

Update Vagrantfile in the file: spec/fixtures/modules/provision/tasks/vagrant.rb

    vf = <<-VF 
    Vagrant.configure(\"2\") do |config|
    config.vm.box = '#{platform}'
    config.vm.boot_timeout = 600
    config.ssh.insert_key = false
    config.vm.hostname = "testkube"
    config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
    vb.memory = "2048"
    vb.cpus = "2"
    end
    #{network}
    #{synced_folder}
    end
    VF

Examples

In the examples folder you will find a bash script containg a few sample Puppet Bolt commands for the usage of the tasks. The example script is intended to be used with a Kubernetes API that requires the token authentication header, but the token parameter is optional by default.
