local-dev-cluster

This repo provides the scripts to create a local kubernetes cluster to be used for development or integration tests. It is also used in Github action for kepler.

Prerequisites for this REPO

• kubectl
• kind
• Git

Please install the same version of kubectl and kind as Github-hosted runner.

Currently Kepler project's Github Action only supports Ubuntu based runners.

You can refer to tools list here

Prerequisites (optional)

./main.sh prerequisites

Will setup ebpf on your host instance.

Container runtime (optional)

./main.sh containerruntime

Will setup container runtime on your host instance.

Startup

1. Modify kind config to make sure extraMounts: cover the linux header and BCC.

2. To setup local env run:

   ./main.sh up

3. To tear down local env run:

   ./main.sh down

   Alternatively, use .env file to define and override the default configuration variables. E.g

   #.env
   
   PROMETHEUS_ENABLE=false
   GRAFANA_ENABLE=false
   TEKTON_ENABLE=false
   KUBEVIRT_ENABLE=false

   Start the cluster by running

   ./main.sh up

Container registry

There's a container registry available which is exposed at localhost:5001.

Note for kepler contributor

To set up a local cluster for kepler development, we need to make the cluster connected with a local container registry.

Bump version step for this repo

1. Check kubectl version.
2. Check k8s cluster provider's version(as KIND).
3. Check prometheus operator version.

How to contribute to this repo

A new k8s cluster provider

Please feel free to refer to kind provider implementation to contribute a k8s cluster. Please ensure that these checklist are statisfies as Kepler requires certain feature to be available.

Checklist

• The provider related script should be placed under './provider/<name>/<name.sh>'

• The script should have a <provider>_up function that sets up the k8s cluster.

• The script should have a <provider>_down function that deletes the cluster.

• The script should have a <provider>_kubeconfig function that prints the path to the cluster's kubeconfig that is located on host machine. Consider using tmp/<provider>/kubeconfig as the path to create/copy the kubeconfig file.

• Ensure cluster can pull from the local specific registry since for local development, we expect to push the development image to the local registry instead of a public registry.

• Mount local path of linux kernel and ebpf(BCC) inside kepler pod.
