Esta es una guía paso a paso sobre cómo configurar Kubernetes en Scaleway bare-metal ARM y x86-64. La razón principal por la que he estado trabajando en este proyecto es que quería automatizar la creación de entornos de prueba para OpenFaaS y Weave Net en ARM. Estaba buscando una solución económica para ejecutar pruebas de integración y, después de probar varios proveedores de nube, me decidí por Scaleway. Scaleway es un proveedor de nube francés que ofrece servidores ARM y x86-64 sin sistema operativo a precios asequibles. Con el proveedor Terraform Scaleway junto con kubeadm, puede tener un clúster de Kubernetes completamente funcional en diez minutos.
Configuración inicial
Clona el repositorio e instala las dependencias:
$ git clone httpsgithub.com/stefanprodan/k8s-scw-baremetal.git $ cd k8s-scw-baremetal $ terraform init
Tenga en cuenta que necesitará Terraform v0.10 o posterior para ejecutar este proyecto
Antes de ejecutar el proyecto, deberá crear un token de acceso para que Terraform se conecte a la API de Scaleway. Usando el token y su clave de acceso, cree dos variables de entorno:
$ exportar SCALEWAY_ORGANIZATIONACCESS-KEY>"$ exportar SCALEWAY_TOKENACCESS-TOKEN>"Uso
Cree un clúster de Kubernetes sin sistema operativo ARMv7 con un maestro y dos nodos:
$ terraform workspace new arm $ terraform apply \ -var region=par1 \ -var arch=arm \ -var server_type=C1 \ -var nodes=2 \ -var weave_passwd=ChangeMe \ -var k8s_version=stable-1.9 \ -var docker_version =17.03.0~ce-0~ubuntu-xenial
Esto hará lo siguiente:
- reserva IP públicas para cada servidor
- aprovisiona tres servidores bare-metal con Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
- se conecta al servidor maestro a través de SSH e instala los paquetes Docker CE y kubeadm armhf apt
- ejecuta kubeadm init en el servidor maestro y configura kubectl
- descarga el archivo de configuración de administración de kubectl en su máquina local y reemplaza la IP privada con la pública
- crea un secreto de Kubernetes con la contraseña de Weave Net
- instala Weave Net con superposición cifrada
- instala complementos de clúster (panel de control de Kubernetes, servidor de métricas y Heapster)
- inicia los nodos trabajadores en paralelo e instala Docker CE y kubeadm
- une los nodos trabajadores en el clúster mediante el token kubeadm obtenido del maestro
Escale aumentando el número de nodos:
$ terraformar aplicar -var nodos=3
Derribar toda la infraestructura con:
fuerza de terraformación
Cree un clúster de Kubernetes sin sistema operativo AMD64 con un maestro y un nodo:
$ terraform workspace new amd64 $ terraform apply \ -var region=par1 \ -var arch=x86_64 \ -var server_type=C2S \ -var nodes=1 \ -var weave_passwd=ChangeMe \ -var k8s_version=stable-1.9 \ -var docker_version =17.03.0~ce-0~ubuntu-xenial
Control remoto
Después de aplicar el plan Terraform, verá varias variables de salida, como la IP pública maestra, el comando kubeadmn join y la configuración actual del administrador del espacio de trabajo.
Para poder correr
comandos de kubectl contra el clúster de Scaleway, puede usar el
variable de salida kubectl_config:
Compruebe si Heapster funciona:
$ kubectl --kubeconfig terraform output kubectl_config) top nodes NOMBRE CPU(núcleos) CPU% MEMORIA(bytes) MEMORIA% arm-master-1 655m 16% 873Mi 45% arm-node-1 147m 3% 618Mi 32% arm-node- 2 101m 2% 584Mi 30%
Él
El formato del archivo de configuración de kubectl es
.conf as in
arm.conf or
amd64.conf
In order to access the dashboard youâÂÂll need to find its cluster IP:
$ kubectl --kubeconfig terraform output kubectl_config) \ -n kube-system get svc --selector=k8s-app=kubernetes-dashboard NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE kubernetes-dashboard ClusterIP 10.107.37.220 80/TCP 6m
Open a SSH tunnel:
ssh -L 8888::80 [email protected]
Now you can access the dashboard on your computer at
httplocalhost:8888
Expose services outside the cluster
Since weâÂÂre running on bare-metal and Scaleway doesnâÂÂt offer a load balancer, the easiest way to expose applications outside of Kubernetes is using a NodePort service
LetâÂÂs deploy the podinfo app in the default namespace. Podinfo has a multi-arch Docker image and it will work on arm, arm64 or amd64
Create the podinfo nodeport service:
$ kubectl --kubeconfig terraform output kubectl_config) \ apply -f httpsraw.githubusercontent.com/stefanprodan/k8s-podinfo/master/deploy/auto-scaling/podinfo-svc-nodeport.yaml service "podinfo-nodeport" created
Create the podinfo deployment:
$ kubectl --kubeconfig terraform output kubectl_config) \ apply -f httpsraw.githubusercontent.com/stefanprodan/k8s-podinfo/master/deploy/auto-scaling/podinfo-dep.yaml deployment "podinfo" created
Inspect the podinfo service to obtain the port number:
$ kubectl --kubeconfig terraform output kubectl_config) \ get svc --selector=app=podinfo NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE podinfo-nodeport NodePort 10.104.132.14 9898:31190/TCP 3m
You can access podinfo at
httpMASTER_PUBLIC_IP>:31190 or using curl:
$ curl httpterraform output k8s_master_public_ip):31190 runtime: arch: arm max_procs: "4" num_cpu: "4" num_goroutine: "12" os: linux version: go1.9.2 labels: app: podinfo pod-template-hash: "1847780700" annotations: kubernetes.io/config.seen: 2018-01-08T00:39:45.580597397Z kubernetes.io/config.source: api environment: HOME: /root HOSTNAME: podinfo-5d8ccd4c44-zrczc KUBERNETES_PORT: tcp10.96.0.1:443 KUBERNETES_PORT_443_TCP: tcp10.96.0.1:443 KUBERNETES_PORT_443_TCP_ADDR: 10.96.0.1 KUBERNETES_PORT_443_TCP_PORT: "443" KUBERNETES_PORT_443_TCP_PROTO: tcp KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST: 10.96.0.1 KUBERNETES_SERVICE_PORT: "443" KUBERNETES_SERVICE_PORT_HTTPS: "443" PATH: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin externalIP: IPv4: 163.172.139.112
OpenFaaS
You can deploy OpenFaaS on Kubernetes with Helm or by using the YAML files form the faas-netes repository
Clone the faas-netes repo:
git clone httpsgithub.com/openfaas/faas-netes cd faas-netes
Deploy OpenFaaS for ARM:
$ kubectl --kubeconfig terraform output kubectl_config) \ apply -f ./namespaces.ymlyaml_armhf
Deploy OpenFaaS for AMD64:
$ kubectl --kubeconfig terraform output kubectl_config) \ apply -f ./namespaces.ymlyaml
You can access the OpenFaaS gateway at
httpMASTER_PUBLIC_IP>:31112
Horizontal Pod Autoscaling
Starting from Kubernetes 1.9
kube-controller-manager is configured by default with
horizontal-pod-autoscaler-use-rest-clients
In order to use HPA we need to install the metrics server to enable the new metrics API used by HPA v2
Both Heapster and the metrics server have been deployed from Terraform
when the master node was provisioned
The metric server collects resource usage data from each node using Kubelet Summary API. Check if the metrics server is running:
$ kubectl --kubeconfig terraform output kubectl_config) \ get --raw "/apis/metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1/nodes" | jq
{ "kind": "NodeMetricsList", "apiVersion": "metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1", "metadata": { "selfLink": "/apis/metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1/nodes" }, "items": [ { "metadata": { "name": "arm-master-1", "selfLink": "/apis/metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1/nodes/arm-master-1", "creationTimestamp": "2018-01-08T15:17:09Z" }, "timestamp": "2018-01-08T15:17:00Z", "window": "1m0s", "usage": { "cpu": "384m", "memory": "935792Ki" } }, { "metadata": { "name": "arm-node-1", "selfLink": "/apis/metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1/nodes/arm-node-1", "creationTimestamp": "2018-01-08T15:17:09Z" }, "timestamp": "2018-01-08T15:17:00Z", "window": "1m0s", "usage": { "cpu": "130m", "memory": "649020Ki" } }, { "metadata": { "name": "arm-node-2", "selfLink": "/apis/metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1/nodes/arm-node-2", "creationTimestamp": "2018-01-08T15:17:09Z" }, "timestamp": "2018-01-08T15:17:00Z", "window": "1m0s", "usage": { "cpu": "120m", "memory": "614180Ki" } } ] }
LetâÂÂs define a HPA that will maintain a minimum of two replicas and will scale up to ten if the CPU average is over 80% or if the memory goes over 200Mi
apiVersion: autoscaling/v2beta1 kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler metadata: name: podinfo spec: scaleTargetRef: apiVersion: apps/v1beta1 kind: Deployment name: podinfo minReplicas: 2 maxReplicas: 10 metrics: - type: Resource resource: name: cpu targetAverageUtilization: 80 - type: Resource resource: name: memory targetAverageValue: 200Mi
Apply the podinfo HPA:
$ kubectl --kubeconfig terraform output kubectl_config) \ apply -f httpsraw.githubusercontent.com/stefanprodan/k8s-podinfo/master/deploy/auto-scaling/podinfo-hpa.yaml horizontalpodautoscaler "podinfo" created
After a couple of seconds the HPA controller will contact the metrics server and will fetch the CPU and memory usage:
$ kubectl --kubeconfig terraform output kubectl_config) get hpa NAME REFERENCE TARGETS MINPODS MAXPODS REPLICAS AGE podinfo Deployment/podinfo 2826240 / 200Mi, 15% / 80% 2 10 2 5m
In order to increase the CPU usage we could run a load test with hey:
#install hey go get -u github.com/rakyll/hey #do 10K requests rate limited at 20 QPS hey -n 10000 -q 10 -c 5 httpterraform output k8s_master_public_ip):31190
You can monitor the autoscaler events with:
$ kubectl --kubeconfig terraform output kubectl_config) describe hpa Events: Type Reason Age From MessageNormal SuccessfulRescale 7m horizontal-pod-autoscaler New size: 4; reason: cpu resource utilization (percentage of request) above target Normal SuccessfulRescale 3m horizontal-pod-autoscaler New size: 8; reason: cpu resource utilization (percentage of request) above target
After the load tests finishes the autoscaler will remove replicas until the deployment reaches the initial replica count:
Events: Type Reason Age From MessageNormal SuccessfulRescale 20m horizontal-pod-autoscaler New size: 4; reason: cpu resource utilization (percentage of request) above target Normal SuccessfulRescale 16m horizontal-pod-autoscaler New size: 8; reason: cpu resource utilization (percentage of request) above target Normal SuccessfulRescale 12m horizontal-pod-autoscaler New size: 10; reason: cpu resource utilization (percentage of request) above target Normal SuccessfulRescale 6m horizontal-pod-autoscaler New size: 2; reason: All metrics below target
Conclusions
Thanks to kubeadm and Terraform, bootstrapping a Kubernetes cluster on bare-metal can be done with a single command and it takes just ten minutes to have a fully functional setup.
