Triton Kubernetes is a multi-cloud Kubernetes solution. It has a global cluster manager which can run on any cloud - Public, Private or Bare Metal and manages Kubernetes environments. The current release uses Triton (Joyent public cloud). You can update the APIs to switch to another cloud or log an enhancement request.

The cluster manager will manage environments running on any region of any supported cloud. Out of box, Amazon, Azure, Google and Triton (public and private) are supported. If not using a cloud, environments on bare metal servers are also planned to be supported.For an example set up, look at the How-To section.

NOTE: This package has been tested on Linux/OSX.

Quick Start Guide

Pre-Reqs

In order to run Triton Kubernetes, you must create a Triton account and install jq and terraform.

Triton is our container-native and open source cloud, which we will use to provide the infrastructure required for your Kubernetes cluster.

jq is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor. It's leveraged by triton-kubernetes.

Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve production infrastructure. It is an open source tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.

Install jq

Install jq for the system you are on:

# OS X using brew
brew install jq

# Debian/Ubuntu
apt-get install jq

# CentOS/RHEL
yum install jq

Install Terraform

Install terraform for the system you are on:

# OS X using brew
brew install terraform

# Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS/RHEL
wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.11.2/terraform_0.11.2_linux_amd64.zip
unzip terraform_0.11.2_linux_amd64.zip
mv terraform /usr/local/bin/

How-To

Triton Kubernetes allows you to create/destroy global cluster managers, Kubernetes environments and individual cluster nodes. You can also get information on a cluster manager or Kubernetes environment. Triton Kubernetes provides these features through the create, destroy and get commands.

Create

triton-kubernetes create [manager or cluster or node]

Creates a new cluster manager, kubernetes cluster or individual kubernetes cluster node.

When creating a new kubernetes cluster, you must specify the cloud provider for that cluster (Triton, AWS, Azure GCP).

Destroy

triton-kubernetes destroy [manager or cluster or node]

Destroys an existing cluster manager, kubernetes cluster or individual kubernetes cluster node.

Get

triton-kubernetes get [manager or cluster]

Displays cluster manager or kubernetes cluster details.

Backend State

Triton Kubernetes persists state by leveraging one of the supported backends. This state is required to add/remove/modify infrastructure managed by Triton Kubernetes.

Manta

Will persist state in the /triton-kubernetes/ folder for the provided user in Manta Cloud Storage.

Local

Will persist state in the ~/.triton-kubernetes/ folder on the machine Triton Kubernets was run on.

Developing Locally

Testing terraform module changes

The SOURCE_URL flag will override the default terraform module source. Default is github.com/joyent/triton-kubernetes.

The SOURCE_REF flag will override the default branch/tag/commit reference for the terraform module source. Default is master
