Introduction

This repo is used to deploy product-grade high availability Kubernetes cluster, as well as all-in-one cluster.

kube-deploy has experienced long time validation in our internal clusters, to help more people to deploy their Kubernetes, we decide to make it open source.

So, please have a try! if have any issue, please let us know.

Installation

At the begining, we should install Ansible(ver2.0+) in our deploy workstation. Then follow us to deploy the Kubernetes cluster.

0. Regenerate CA certs (Optional)

Note here, if you want to create your CA certs to instead of the default one in this repo, please regenerate it as following steps.

$ cd roles/common/files/pki

# notice: need install cfssl
# https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/certificates/#cfssl
$ /usr/bin/bash generate-ca.sh

1. Check connectivity

Please check your deploy workstation would ssh to the remote Host, maybe need --sudo

$ ansible --inventory='hosts/kube.ini' nodes -m ping

2. Init host

• 1. Upgrade kernel to elrepo-lt (Recommend)

  # centos
  # upgrade kernel to elrepo-lt for docker cgroup driver systemd
  ansible-playbook kube.yaml --inventory='hosts/kube.ini' --limit='nodes' --tags='upgrade-kernel'
  ansible-playbook kube.yaml --inventory='hosts/kube.ini' --limit='nodes' --tags='reboot'
  # upgrade system package
  ansible-playbook kube.yaml --inventory='hosts/kube.ini' --limit='nodes' --tags='upgrade-pkg'
  
  # ubuntu
  # ubuntu does not need to upgrade kernel
  ansible-playbook kube.yaml --inventory='hosts/kube.ini' --limit='nodes' --tags='upgrade-pkg'

• 2. Install dependency tools and requirements

  # install some commonly used software packages, etc.
  ansible-playbook kube.yaml --inventory='hosts/kube.ini' --limit='nodes' --tags='dep'

3. Install docker (Required)

ansible-playbook kube.yaml --inventory='hosts/kube.ini' --limit='nodes' --tags='docker'

4. Deploy etcd (Required)

# deploy etcd with docker
ansible-playbook kube.yaml --inventory='hosts/kube.ini' --limit='etcds' --tags='etcd'

5. Deploy VIP & load balancer for kube-apiserver (Optional if all-in-one)

NOTE: PLEASE IGNORE THIS STEP, IF YOU WANT TO DEPLOY AN ALL-IN-ONE KUBERNETES CLUSTER.

# use keepalived to provide kube-apiserver vip and use haproxy to provide kube-apiserver load balancer
ansible-playbook kube.yaml --inventory='hosts/kube.ini' --limit='vips' --tags='vip'

6. Install Kubernetes basic components (Required)

# up kubernetes master node and worker node
ansible-playbook kube.yaml --inventory='hosts/kube.ini' --limit='nodes' --tags='kube'

7. Install calico & kubedns (Required)

# deploy calico
ansible-playbook kube.yaml --inventory='hosts/kube.ini' --limit='masters' --tags='calico'

# deploy kube-dns
ansible-playbook kube.yaml --inventory='hosts/kube.ini' --limit='masters' --tags='dns'

8. Install other addons (Optional)

# deploy metric-server for HPA
ansible-playbook kube.yaml --inventory='hosts/kube.ini' --limit='masters' --tags='metric-server'

9. Install ingress (Optional)

# no need to execute on single master node architecture
ansible-playbook kube.yaml --inventory='hosts/kube.ini' --limit='ingress_nginxs_l7' --tags='ingress'

# no need to execute on single master node architecture
ansible-playbook kube.yaml --inventory='hosts/kube.ini' --limit='ingress_nginxs_l4' --tags='ingress'
