Kubernetes requires a set of machines to host the Kubernetes control plane and the worker nodes where containers are ultimately run. In this lab you will provision the compute resources required for running a secure and highly available Kubernetes cluster across a single availability zone.
Be sure that you have pair of ssh-keys in your home directory (~/.ssh/id_rsa
and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
).
If you don't have one, generate a pair of ssh-keys.
ssh-keygen
During generation be sure that your pair will be stored in default path (~/.ssh/id_rsa
and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
).
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/username/.ssh/id_rsa):

The Kubernetes networking model assumes a flat network in which containers and nodes can communicate with each other. In cases where this is not desired network policies can limit how groups of containers are allowed to communicate with each other and external network endpoints.
Setting up network policies is out of scope for this tutorial.
In this section a dedicated Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network will be setup to host the Kubernetes cluster.
Create the kubernetes-the-hard-way
custom VPC network:
yc vpc network create --name kubernetes-the-hard-way --description "Main network"
A subnet must be provisioned with an IP address range large enough to assign a private IP address to each node in the Kubernetes cluster.
Create the kubernetes
subnet in the kubernetes-the-hard-way
VPC network:
yc vpc subnet create --name kubernetes \
--description "Kubernetes subnet" \
--network-name kubernetes-the-hard-way \
--zone ru-central1-a \
--range 10.240.0.0/24
The
10.240.0.0/24
IP address range can host up to 254 compute instances.
Create a network load balancer with simple listener on the port tcp:6443. There will be attached target groups for this balancer.
yc load-balancer network-load-balancer create \
--name kubernetes-load-balancer \
--listener name=kubernetes-listener,external-ip-version=ipv4,port=6443,target-port=6443
Verify the kubernetes-load-balancer
was created in your default compute region:
yc load-balancer network-load-balancer list
output
+----------------------+--------------------------+-------------+----------+----------------+------------------------+----------+
| ID | NAME | REGION ID | TYPE | LISTENER COUNT | ATTACHED TARGET GROUPS | STATUS |
+----------------------+--------------------------+-------------+----------+----------------+------------------------+----------+
| enpcq3mn52tabordart2 | kubernetes-load-balancer | ru-central1 | EXTERNAL | 1 | | INACTIVE |
+----------------------+--------------------------+-------------+----------+----------------+------------------------+----------+
Also you can verify that load-balancer automaticly created a Public IP:
yc vpc address list
output
+----------------------+------+--------------+----------+------+
| ID | NAME | ADDRESS | RESERVED | USED |
+----------------------+------+--------------+----------+------+
| e9bd2dsn9g3rg7lipe2u | | 51.250.78.46 | false | true |
+----------------------+------+--------------+----------+------+
Write down given ID of Public IP to update it.
- rename:
yc vpc address update <ID_of_public_IP> --new-name kubernetes-the-hard-way
- make it static:
yc vpc address update <ID_of_public_IP> --reserved=true
Verify the result:
yc vpc address list
output
+----------------------+-------------------------+--------------+----------+------+
| ID | NAME | ADDRESS | RESERVED | USED |
+----------------------+-------------------------+--------------+----------+------+
| e9bd2dsn9g3rg7lipe2u | kubernetes-the-hard-way | 51.250.78.46 | true | true |
+----------------------+-------------------------+--------------+----------+------+
The compute instances in this lab will be provisioned using Ubuntu Server 20.04, which has good support for the containerd container runtime. Each compute instance will be provisioned with a fixed private IP address to simplify the Kubernetes bootstrapping process.
Create three compute instances which will host the Kubernetes control plane:
for i in 0 1 2; do
yc compute instance create \
--async \
--name controller-${i} \
--hostname controller-${i} \
--zone $(yc config get compute-default-zone) \
--cores 2 --memory 8 \
--create-boot-disk size=30,image-folder-id=standard-images,image-family=ubuntu-2004-lts \
--network-interface subnet-name=kubernetes,nat-ip-version=ipv4,ipv4-address=10.240.0.1${i} \
--labels type=controller,project=kubernetes-the-hard-way \
--ssh-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
done
Each worker instance requires a pod subnet allocation from the Kubernetes cluster CIDR range. The pod subnet allocation will be used to configure container networking in a later exercise. The pod-cidr
instance metadata will be used to expose pod subnet allocations to compute instances at runtime.
The Kubernetes cluster CIDR range is defined by the Controller Manager's
--cluster-cidr
flag. In this tutorial the cluster CIDR range will be set to10.200.0.0/16
, which supports 254 subnets.
Create three compute instances which will host the Kubernetes worker nodes:
for i in 0 1 2; do
yc compute instance create \
--async \
--name worker-${i} \
--hostname worker-${i} \
--zone $(yc config get compute-default-zone) \
--cores 2 --memory 8 \
--create-boot-disk size=30,image-folder-id=standard-images,image-family=ubuntu-2004-lts \
--network-interface subnet-name=kubernetes,nat-ip-version=ipv4,ipv4-address=10.240.0.2${i} \
--metadata pod-cidr=10.200.${i}.0/24 \
--labels type=worker,project=kubernetes-the-hard-way \
--ssh-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
done

SSH will be used to configure the controller and worker instances.
Ensure you have pair of ssh-keys as described in the Preparing SSH-keys.
Save variables with instances' IPs. You have to do it every time when you want to connect to instances (if you closed and opened console).
for i in 0 1 2; do
export CONTROLLER${i}_IP=$(yc compute instance get --name controller-${i} --format json | jq -r '.network_interfaces[0].primary_v4_address.one_to_one_nat.address')
export WORKER${i}_IP=$(yc compute instance get --name worker-${i} --format json | jq -r '.network_interfaces[0].primary_v4_address.one_to_one_nat.address')
done
Test SSH access to the controller-0
compute instances:
ssh yc-user@${CONTROLLER0_IP}
If this is your first time connecting to a compute instance SSH you will see the question about trusting this server. Agree by typing "yes" to continue:
The authenticity of host '51.250.69.211 (51.250.69.211)' can't be established.
ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:b4/j5O1usG9qHYOstxJWrkRjRkhFYsXgcxpbYdRKdeM.
This key is not known by any other names
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
After you have been logged into the controller-0
instance:
Welcome to Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-97-generic x86_64)
...
Type exit
at the prompt to exit the controller-0
compute instance:
yc-user@controller-0:~$ exit
output
logout
Connection to XX.XX.XX.XX closed.
