Bootstrapping an H/A Kubernetes Control Plane
In this lab you will bootstrap a 3 node Kubernetes controller cluster. The following virtual machines will be used:
- controller0
- controller1
- controller2
In this lab you will also create a frontend load balancer with a public IP address for remote access to the API servers and H/A.
Why
The Kubernetes components that make up the control plane include the following components:
- API Server
- Scheduler
- Controller Manager
Each component is being run on the same machine for the following reasons:
- The Scheduler and Controller Manager are tightly coupled with the API Server
- Only one Scheduler and Controller Manager can be active at a given time, but it's ok to run multiple at the same time. Each component will elect a leader via the API Server.
- Running multiple copies of each component is required for H/A
- Running each component next to the API Server eases configuration.
Provision the Kubernetes Controller Cluster
Run the following commands on controller0
, controller1
, controller2
:
Login to each machine using the gcloud compute ssh command
Copy the bootstrap token into place:
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/kubernetes/
sudo mv token.csv /var/lib/kubernetes/
TLS Certificates
The TLS certificates created in the Setting up a CA and TLS Cert Generation lab will be used to secure communication between the Kubernetes API server and Kubernetes clients such as kubectl
and the kubelet
agent. The TLS certificates will also be used to authenticate the Kubernetes API server to etcd via TLS client auth.
Copy the TLS certificates to the Kubernetes configuration directory:
sudo mv ca.pem ca-key.pem kubernetes-key.pem kubernetes.pem /var/lib/kubernetes/
Download and install the Kubernetes controller binaries
Download the official Kubernetes release binaries:
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.6.0-rc.1/bin/linux/amd64/kube-apiserver
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.6.0-rc.1/bin/linux/amd64/kube-controller-manager
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.6.0-rc.1/bin/linux/amd64/kube-scheduler
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.6.0-rc.1/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
Install the Kubernetes binaries:
chmod +x kube-apiserver kube-controller-manager kube-scheduler kubectl
sudo mv kube-apiserver kube-controller-manager kube-scheduler kubectl /usr/bin/
Kubernetes API Server
Capture the internal IP address of the machine:
INTERNAL_IP=$(curl -s -H "Metadata-Flavor: Google" \
http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/network-interfaces/0/ip)
Create the systemd unit file:
cat > kube-apiserver.service <<EOF
