In this lab you will bootstrap 3 Kubernetes worker nodes. The following virtual machines will be used:
- worker0
- worker1
- worker2
Kubernetes worker nodes are responsible for running your containers. All Kubernetes clusters need one or more worker nodes. We are running the worker nodes on dedicated machines for the following reasons:
- Ease of deployment and configuration
- Avoid mixing arbitrary workloads with critical cluster components. We are building machine with just enough resources so we don't have to worry about wasting resources.
Some people would like to run workers and cluster services anywhere in the cluster. This is totally possible, and you'll have to decide what's best for your environment.
Each worker node will provision a unique TLS client certificate as defined in the kubelet TLS bootstrapping guide. The kubelet-bootstrap
user must be granted permission to request a client TLS certificate.
gcloud compute ssh controller0
Enable TLS bootstrapping by binding the kubelet-bootstrap
user to the system:node-bootstrapper
cluster role:
kubectl create clusterrolebinding kubelet-bootstrap \
--clusterrole=system:node-bootstrapper \
--user=kubelet-bootstrap
Run the following commands on worker0
, worker1
, worker2
:
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/{kubelet,kube-proxy,kubernetes}
sudo mkdir -p /var/run/kubernetes
sudo mv bootstrap.kubeconfig /var/lib/kubelet
sudo mv kube-proxy.kubeconfig /var/lib/kube-proxy
Move the TLS certificates in place
sudo mv ca.pem /var/lib/kubernetes/
wget https://get.docker.com/builds/Linux/x86_64/docker-1.12.6.tgz
tar -xvf docker-1.12.6.tgz
sudo cp docker/docker* /usr/bin/
Create the Docker systemd unit file:

Start the docker service:
sudo mv docker.service /etc/systemd/system/docker.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo docker version
The Kubelet can now use CNI - the Container Network Interface to manage machine level networking requirements.
Download and install CNI plugins
sudo mkdir -p /opt/cni
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/network-plugins/cni-amd64-0799f5732f2a11b329d9e3d51b9c8f2e3759f2ff.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvf cni-amd64-0799f5732f2a11b329d9e3d51b9c8f2e3759f2ff.tar.gz -C /opt/cni

Remember to run these steps on
worker0
,worker1
, andworker2
Each worker node will submit a certificate signing request which must be approved before the node is allowed to join the cluster.
Log into one of the controller nodes:
gcloud compute ssh controller0
List the pending certificate requests:
kubectl get csr
NAME AGE REQUESTOR CONDITION
csr-XXXXX 1m kubelet-bootstrap Pending
Use the kubectl describe csr command to view the details of a specific signing request.
Approve each certificate signing request using the kubectl certificate approve
command:
kubectl certificate approve csr-XXXXX
certificatesigningrequest "csr-XXXXX" approved
Once all certificate signing requests have been approved all nodes should be registered with the cluster:
kubectl get nodes
NAME STATUS AGE VERSION
worker0 Ready 7m v1.6.1
worker1 Ready 5m v1.6.1
worker2 Ready 2m v1.6.1
