Cloud Infrastructure Provisioning - Amazon Web Services

This lab will walk you through provisioning the compute instances required for running a H/A Kubernetes cluster. A total of 6 virtual machines will be created.

The guide assumes you'll be creating resources in the us-west-2 region.

After completing this guide you should have the following compute instances:

EC2 Console

All machines will be provisioned with fixed private IP addresses to simplify the bootstrap process.

To make our Kubernetes control plane remotely accessible, a public IP address will be provisioned and assigned to a Load Balancer that will sit in front of the 3 Kubernetes controllers.

Networking

VPC

VPC_ID=$(aws ec2 create-vpc \
  --cidr-block 10.240.0.0/16 | \
  jq -r '.Vpc.VpcId')
aws ec2 create-tags \
  --resources ${VPC_ID} \
  --tags Key=Name,Value=kubernetes
aws ec2 modify-vpc-attribute \
  --vpc-id ${VPC_ID} \
  --enable-dns-support '{"Value": true}'
aws ec2 modify-vpc-attribute \
  --vpc-id ${VPC_ID} \
  --enable-dns-hostnames '{"Value": true}'

DHCP Option Sets

DHCP_OPTION_SET_ID=$(aws ec2 create-dhcp-options \
  --dhcp-configuration "Key=domain-name,Values=us-west-2.compute.internal" \
    "Key=domain-name-servers,Values=AmazonProvidedDNS" | \
  jq -r '.DhcpOptions.DhcpOptionsId')
aws ec2 create-tags \
  --resources ${DHCP_OPTION_SET_ID} \
  --tags Key=Name,Value=kubernetes
aws ec2 associate-dhcp-options \
  --dhcp-options-id ${DHCP_OPTION_SET_ID} \
  --vpc-id ${VPC_ID}

Subnets

Create a subnet for the Kubernetes cluster:

SUBNET_ID=$(aws ec2 create-subnet \
  --vpc-id ${VPC_ID} \
  --cidr-block 10.240.0.0/24 | \
  jq -r '.Subnet.SubnetId')
aws ec2 create-tags \
  --resources ${SUBNET_ID} \
  --tags Key=Name,Value=kubernetes

Internet Gateways

INTERNET_GATEWAY_ID=$(aws ec2 create-internet-gateway | \
  jq -r '.InternetGateway.InternetGatewayId')
aws ec2 create-tags \
  --resources ${INTERNET_GATEWAY_ID} \
  --tags Key=Name,Value=kubernetes
aws ec2 attach-internet-gateway \
  --internet-gateway-id ${INTERNET_GATEWAY_ID} \
  --vpc-id ${VPC_ID}

Route Tables

ROUTE_TABLE_ID=$(aws ec2 create-route-table \
  --vpc-id ${VPC_ID} | \
  jq -r '.RouteTable.RouteTableId')
aws ec2 create-tags \
  --resources ${ROUTE_TABLE_ID} \
  --tags Key=Name,Value=kubernetes
aws ec2 associate-route-table \
  --route-table-id ${ROUTE_TABLE_ID} \
  --subnet-id ${SUBNET_ID}
aws ec2 create-route \
  --route-table-id ${ROUTE_TABLE_ID} \
  --destination-cidr-block 0.0.0.0/0 \
  --gateway-id ${INTERNET_GATEWAY_ID}

Firewall Rules

SECURITY_GROUP_ID=$(aws ec2 create-security-group \
  --group-name kubernetes \
  --description "Kubernetes security group" \
  --vpc-id ${VPC_ID} | \
  jq -r '.GroupId')
aws ec2 create-tags \
  --resources ${SECURITY_GROUP_ID} \
  --tags Key=Name,Value=kubernetes
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
  --group-id ${SECURITY_GROUP_ID} \
  --protocol all
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
  --group-id ${SECURITY_GROUP_ID} \
  --protocol all \
  --port 0-65535 \
  --cidr 10.240.0.0/16
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
  --group-id ${SECURITY_GROUP_ID} \
  --protocol tcp \
  --port 22 \
  --cidr 0.0.0.0/0
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
  --group-id ${SECURITY_GROUP_ID} \
  --protocol tcp \
  --port 6443 \
  --cidr 0.0.0.0/0
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
  --group-id ${SECURITY_GROUP_ID} \
  --protocol all \
  --source-group ${SECURITY_GROUP_ID}

Kubernetes Public Address

An ELB will be used to load balance traffic across the Kubernetes control plane.

aws elb create-load-balancer \
  --load-balancer-name kubernetes \
  --listeners "Protocol=TCP,LoadBalancerPort=6443,InstanceProtocol=TCP,InstancePort=6443" \
  --subnets ${SUBNET_ID} \
  --security-groups ${SECURITY_GROUP_ID}

Provision Virtual Machines

All the VMs in this lab will be provisioned using Ubuntu 16.04 mainly because it runs a newish Linux Kernel that has good support for Docker.

All virtual machines in this section will be created with the --no-source-dest-check flag to enable traffic between foreign subnets to flow. The will enable Pods to communicate with nodes and other Pods via the Kubernetes service IP.

Create Instance IAM Policies

cat > kubernetes-iam-role.json <<'EOF'
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {"Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"}, "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"}
  ]
}
EOF
aws iam create-role \
  --role-name kubernetes \
  --assume-role-policy-document file://kubernetes-iam-role.json
cat > kubernetes-iam-policy.json <<'EOF'
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {"Effect": "Allow", "Action": ["ec2:*"], "Resource": ["*"]},
    {"Effect": "Allow", "Action": ["elasticloadbalancing:*"], "Resource": ["*"]},
    {"Effect": "Allow", "Action": ["route53:*"], "Resource": ["*"]},
    {"Effect": "Allow", "Action": ["ecr:*"], "Resource": "*"}
  ]
}
EOF
aws iam put-role-policy \
  --role-name kubernetes \
  --policy-name kubernetes \
  --policy-document file://kubernetes-iam-policy.json
aws iam create-instance-profile \
  --instance-profile-name kubernetes 
aws iam add-role-to-instance-profile \
  --instance-profile-name kubernetes \
  --role-name kubernetes

Chosing an Image

Use the Ubuntu Amazon EC2 AMI Locator to find the right image-id for your zone. This guide assumes the us-west-2 zone.

IMAGE_ID="ami-746aba14"

Generate A SSH Key Pair

aws ec2 create-key-pair --key-name kubernetes | \
  jq -r '.KeyMaterial' > ~/.ssh/kubernetes_the_hard_way
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/kubernetes_the_hard_way
ssh-add ~/.ssh/kubernetes_the_hard_way 

SSH Access

Once the virtual machines are created you'll be able to login into each machine using ssh like this:

WORKER_0_PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS=$(aws ec2 describe-instances \
    --filters "Name=tag:Name,Values=worker0" | \
    jq -j '.Reservations[].Instances[].PublicIpAddress')

The instance public IP address can also be obtained from the EC2 console. Each node will be tagged with a unique name.

ssh ubuntu@${WORKER_0_PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS}
