Federated Kubernetes Cluster using Kops on AWS
Raw
readme.adoc

Let’s set up a federation between earth and mars Kubernetes cluster on AWS.

Earth cluster

  1. Create hosted zone:

    ID=$(uuidgen) && \
   aws route53 create-hosted-zone \
   --name earth.kubernetes-aws.io \
   --caller-reference $ID \
   | jq .DelegationSet.NameServers

  2. Setup NS records in DNS provider. Make sure dig earth.kubernetes-aws.io NS return NS records:

    dig earth.kubernetes-aws.io NS

  3. Create cluster:

    kops create cluster \
  --name=earth.kubernetes-aws.io \
  --master-count=3 \
  --master-zones us-east-1a,us-east-1b,us-east-1c \
  --node-count=3 \
  --zones=us-east-1a,us-east-1b,us-east-1c \
  --authorization=rbac \
  --state=s3://kubernetes-aws-io \
  --kubernetes-version=1.7.0 \
  --yes

  4. Validate cluster:

    kops validate cluster earth.kubernetes-aws.io --state=s3://kubernetes-aws-io

Your cluster mars.kubernetes-aws.io is ready

  5. Set alias for context:

    kubectl config set-context mars --cluster=mars.kubernetes-aws.io --user=mars.kubernetes-aws.io
Context "mars" modified.

  6. Get nodes:

    kubectl --context=mars get nodes
NAME                                           STATUS    AGE       VERSION

ip-172-20-89-96.us-east-2.compute.internal     Ready     10m       v1.7.0

Setup federation

  1. Download k8s client binary:

    curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/kubernetes-client-darwin-amd64.tar.gz
tar xzvf kubernetes-client-darwin-amd64.tar.gz

  2. Check context:

    kubectl config get-contexts
CURRENT   NAME                      CLUSTER                   AUTHINFO                  NAMESPACE
          earth.kubernetes-aws.io   earth.kubernetes-aws.io   earth.kubernetes-aws.io
          mars                      mars.kubernetes-aws.io    mars.kubernetes-aws.io
*         mars.kubernetes-aws.io    mars.kubernetes-aws.io    mars.kubernetes-aws.io
          earth                     earth.kubernetes-aws.io   earth.kubernetes-aws.io

  3. Use earth as host cluster:

    kubectl config use-context earth
Switched to context "earth".

  4. Create RBAC role binding:

    kubectl create \
   clusterrolebinding \
   admin-to-cluster-admin-binding \
   --clusterrole=cluster-admin \
   --user=admin

  5. Deploy the federation control plane in host cluster:

    kubefed \
    init \
    interstellar \
    --host-cluster-context=earth \
    --dns-provider=aws-route53 \
    --dns-zone-name=kubernetes-aws.io

    Shows the output:

    Creating a namespace federation-system for federation system components... done
Creating federation control plane service..... done
Creating federation control plane objects (credentials, persistent volume claim)... done
Creating federation component deployments... done
Updating kubeconfig... done
Waiting for federation control plane to come up.......................................................... done
Federation API server is running at: aadbdf9358d1411e7a4ba0a49363c58c-672820986.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com

  6. Get contexts again to see the newly created namespace:

    kubectl config get-contexts
CURRENT   NAME                      CLUSTER                   AUTHINFO                  NAMESPACE
          mars                      mars.kubernetes-aws.io    mars.kubernetes-aws.io
          mars.kubernetes-aws.io    mars.kubernetes-aws.io    mars.kubernetes-aws.io
*         earth                     earth.kubernetes-aws.io   earth.kubernetes-aws.io
          earth.kubernetes-aws.io   earth.kubernetes-aws.io   earth.kubernetes-aws.io
          interstellar              interstellar              interstellar

  7. Change the context to federation context:

    kubectl config use-context interstellar

  8. Join earth and mars cluster to the federation:

    kubefed join \
   earth \
   --host-cluster-context=earth \
   --cluster-context=earth
kubefed join \
   mars \
   --host-cluster-context=earth \
   --cluster-context=mars

    --cluster-context defaults to cluster name

  9. Check status of the clusters in the federation:

    kubectl --context=interstellar get clusters
NAME      STATUS    AGE
earth     Ready     4h
mars      Ready     3h

Cleanup

  1. Unjoin earth and mars cluster from federation:

    kubefed unjoin earth --cluster-context=earth
kubefed unjoin mars --cluster-context=earth

  2. Delete clusters

    kops delete cluster --name=earth.kubernetes-aws.io --yes
kops delete cluster --name=mars.kubernetes-aws.io --yes

Misc

  1. Use aws ec2 describe-availability-zones --region=us-east-1 to find out a region with 3+ AZ
