Cybozu Kubernetes Engine

CKE (Cybozu Kubernetes Engine) is a distributed service that automates Kubernetes cluster management.

Project Status: Most features are implemented.

Requirements

CKE requirements

• etcd
• Vault

Node OS Requirements

• Docker

  Data in Docker volumes must persist between reboots.

• A user who belongs to docker group

• SSH access for the user

Features

• Bootstrapping and life-cycle management.

  CKE can bootstrap a Kubernetes and etcd cluster from scratch. CKE can also add or remove nodes to/from the Kubernetes and etcd cluster.

• Managed etcd cluster

  CKE manages an etcd cluster for Kubernetes. Other applications may also store their data in the same etcd cluster. Backups of etcd data are automatically taken by CKE.

  Details are described in docs/etcd.md.

• Cluster features:

  • HA control plane.
  • RBAC.
  • CNI network plugins.
  • CoreDNS add-on.
  • Node-local DNS cache services.
  • Nodes can be registered with Taints.

• Sabakan integration

  CKE can be integrated with sabakan, a service that automates physical server management, to generate cluster configuration automatically.

  Sabakan is not a requirement; cluster configuration can be supplied externally by a YAML file.

• High availability

  CKE stores its configurations in etcd to share them among multiple instances. Etcd is also used to elect a leader instance that exclusively controls the Kubernetes cluster.

• Operation logs

  To track problems and life-cycle events, CKE keeps operation logs in etcd.

Programs
