Bootstrapping the Kubernetes Worker Nodes
In this lab you will bootstrap two Kubernetes worker nodes. The following components will be installed: runc, container networking plugins, containerd, kubelet, and kube-proxy.
Prerequisites
Copy Kubernetes binaries and systemd unit files to each worker instance:
for host in node-0 node-1; do
SUBNET=$(grep $host machines.txt | cut -d " " -f 4)
sed "s|SUBNET|$SUBNET|g" \
configs/10-bridge.conf > 10-bridge.conf
sed "s|SUBNET|$SUBNET|g" \
configs/kubelet-config.yaml > kubelet-config.yaml
scp 10-bridge.conf kubelet-config.yaml \
root@$host:~/
done
for host in node-0 node-1; do
scp \
downloads/runc.amd64 \
downloads/crictl-v1.28.0-linux-amd.tar.gz \
downloads/cni-plugins-linux-amd64-v1.3.0.tgz \
downloads/containerd-1.7.8-linux-amd64.tar.gz \
downloads/kubectl \
downloads/kubelet \
downloads/kube-proxy \
configs/99-loopback.conf \
configs/containerd-config.toml \
configs/kubelet-config.yaml \
configs/kube-proxy-config.yaml \
units/containerd.service \
units/kubelet.service \
units/kube-proxy.service \
root@$host:~/
done
The commands in this lab must be run on each worker instance: node-0
, node-1
. Login to the worker instance using the ssh
command. Example:
ssh root@node-0
Provisioning a Kubernetes Worker Node
Install the OS dependencies:
{
apt-get update
apt-get -y install socat conntrack ipset
}
The socat binary enables support for the
kubectl port-forward
command.
Disable Swap
By default, the kubelet will fail to start if swap is enabled. It is recommended that swap be disabled to ensure Kubernetes can provide proper resource allocation and quality of service.
Verify if swap is enabled:
swapon --show
If output is empty then swap is not enabled. If swap is enabled run the following command to disable swap immediately:
swapoff -a
To ensure swap remains off after reboot consult your Linux distro documentation.
Create the installation directories:
mkdir -p \
/etc/cni/net.d \
/opt/cni/bin \
/var/lib/kubelet \
/var/lib/kube-proxy \
/var/lib/kubernetes \
/var/run/kubernetes
Install the worker binaries:
{
mkdir -p containerd
tar -xvf crictl-v1.28.0-linux-amd.tar.gz
tar -xvf containerd-1.7.8-linux-amd64.tar.gz -C containerd
tar -xvf cni-plugins-linux-amd64-v1.3.0.tgz -C /opt/cni/bin/
mv runc.amd64 runc
chmod +x crictl kubectl kube-proxy kubelet runc
mv crictl kubectl kube-proxy kubelet runc /usr/local/bin/
mv containerd/bin/* /bin/
}
Configure CNI Networking
Create the bridge
network configuration file:
mv 10-bridge.conf 99-loopback.conf /etc/cni/net.d/
Configure containerd
Install the containerd
configuration files:
{
mkdir -p /etc/containerd/
mv containerd-config.toml /etc/containerd/config.toml
mv containerd.service /etc/systemd/system/
}
Configure the Kubelet
Create the kubelet-config.yaml
configuration file:
{
mv kubelet-config.yaml /var/lib/kubelet/
mv kubelet.service /etc/systemd/system/
}
Configure the Kubernetes Proxy
{
mv kube-proxy-config.yaml /var/lib/kube-proxy/
mv kube-proxy.service /etc/systemd/system/
}
Start the Worker Services
{
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable containerd kubelet kube-proxy
systemctl start containerd kubelet kube-proxy
}
Verification
The compute instances created in this tutorial will not have permission to complete this section. Run the following commands from the jumpbox
machine.
List the registered Kubernetes nodes:
ssh root@server \
"kubectl get nodes \
--kubeconfig admin.kubeconfig"
