Cluster Creation – Das Kubernetes Cluster DIY Pt. 4

illustration zweier Bildschirme bei der Kubernetes Cluster Creation

Nach den Vorbereitungen in den letzten Kapiteln beschäftigen wir uns nun mit der eigentlichen Erstellung des Clusters.  Am besten folgt ihr der Anleitung dieses kube-hetzner-Projekts auf GitHub.

Hier sind ein paar Änderungen, die ich am Code vorgenommen habe und für die ich einen Pull Request erstellen sollte:

  • dotenv Unterstützung

  • Terraform-Zustandsverfolgung über Google Cloud

  • aktiviertes traefik dashboard

    • großartig zum Debuggen von Middlewares

# For the control planes, at least three nodes are the minimum for HA. Otherwise, you need to turn off the automatic upgrades (see README).
# **It must always be an ODD number, never even!** Search the internet for "splitbrain problem with etcd" or see https://rancher.com/docs/k3s/latest/en/installation/ha-embedded/
# For instance, one is ok (non-HA), two is not ok, and three is ok (becomes HA). It does not matter if they are in the same nodepool or not! So they can be in different locations and of various types.
# Of course, you can choose any number of nodepools you want, with the location you want. The only constraint on the location is that you need to stay in the same network region, Europe, or the US.
# For the server type, the minimum instance supported is cpx11 (just a few cents more than cx11); see https://www.hetzner.com/cloud.
# IMPORTANT: Before you create your cluster, you can do anything you want with the nodepools, but you need at least one of each, control plane and agent.
# Once the cluster is up and running, you can change nodepool count and even set it to 0 (in the case of the first control-plane nodepool, the minimum is 1).
# You can also rename it (if the count is 0), but do not remove a nodepool from the list.
# The only nodepools that are safe to remove from the list are at the end. That is due to how subnets and IPs get allocated (FILO).
# You can, however, freely add other nodepools at the end of each list if you want. The maximum number of nodepools you can create combined for both lists is 255.
# Also, before decreasing the count of any nodepools to 0, it's essential to drain and cordon the nodes in question. Otherwise, it will leave your cluster in a bad state.
# Before initializing the cluster, you can change all parameters and add or remove any nodepools. You need at least one nodepool of each kind, control plane, and agent.
# The nodepool names are entirely arbitrary, you can choose whatever you want, but no special characters or underscore, and they must be unique; only alphanumeric characters and dashes are allowed.
# If you want to have a single node cluster, have one control plane nodepools with a count of 1, and one agent nodepool with a count of 0.
# Please note that changing labels and taints after the first run will have no effect. If needed, you can do that through Kubernetes directly.
# ⚠️ When choosing ARM cax* server types, for the moment they are only available in fsn1.
# Muli-architecture clusters are OK for most use cases, as container underlying images tend to be multi-architecture too.

# You can enable encrypted wireguard for the CNI by setting this to "true". Default is "false".
# FYI, Hetzner says "Traffic between cloud servers inside a Network is private and isolated, but not automatically encrypted." 
# Source: https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/networks/faq/#is-traffic-inside-hetzner-cloud-networks-encrypted

# Cluster Autoscaler
# Providing at least one map for the array enables the cluster autoscaler feature, default is disabled
# By default we set a compatible version with the default initial_k3s_channel, to set another one,
# have a look at the tag value in https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/blob/master/charts/cluster-autoscaler/values.yaml
# ⚠️ Based on how the autoscaler works with this project, you can only choose either x86 instances or ARM server types for ALL autocaler nodepools.
# Also, as mentioned above, for the time being ARM cax* instances are only available in fsn1.
# If you are curious, it's ok to have a multi-architecture cluster, as most underlying container images are multi-architecture too.

# longhorn_replica_count = 1
# When you enable Longhorn, you can go with the default settings and just modify the above two variables OR you can add a longhorn_values variable
# with all needed helm values, see towards the end of the file in the advanced section.
# If that file is present, the system will use it during the deploy, if not it will use the default values with the two variable above that can be customized.
# After the cluster is deployed, you can always use HelmChartConfig definition to tweak the configuration.
# Also, you can choose to use a Hetzner volume with Longhorn. By default, it will use the nodes own storage space, but if you add an attribute of
# longhorn_volume_size (⚠️ not a variable, just a possible agent nodepool attribute) with a value between 10 and 10000 GB to your agent nodepool definition, it will create and use the volume in question.
# See the agent nodepool section for an example of how to do that.
# To disable Hetzner CSI storage, you can set the following to "true", default is "false".
# disable_hetzner_csi = true
# If you want to use a specific Hetzner CCM and CSI version, set them below; otherwise, leave them as-is for the latest versions.

# If you want to enable the Nginx ingress controller (https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/) instead of Traefik, you can set this to "nginx". Default is "traefik".
# By the default we load optimal Traefik and Nginx ingress controller config for Hetzner, however you may need to tweak it to your needs, so to do,
# we allow you to add a traefik_values and nginx_values, see towards the end of this file in the advanced section.
# After the cluster is deployed, you can always use HelmChartConfig definition to tweak the configuration.
# If you want to disable both controllers set this to "none"

# ingress_replica_count = 1
# Use the klipperLB (similar to metalLB), instead of the default Hetzner one, that has an advantage of dropping the cost of the setup.
# Automatically "true" in the case of single node cluster (as it does not make sense to use the Hetzner LB in that situation).
# It can work with any ingress controller that you choose to deploy.
# Please note that because the klipperLB points to all nodes, we automatically allow scheduling on the control plane when it is active.
# enable_klipper_metal_lb = "true"
# If you want to configure additional arguments for traefik, enter them here as a list and in the form of traefik CLI arguments; see https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/reference/static-configuration/cli/
# They are the options that go into the additionalArguments section of the Traefik helm values file.
# Example: traefik_additional_options = ["--log.level=DEBUG", "--tracing=true"]
traefik_additional_options = ["--api", "--api.dashboard=true", "--api.insecure=true"]
# By default traefik is configured to redirect http traffic to https, you can set this to "false" to disable the redirection.
# traefik_redirect_to_https = false
# If you want to disable the metric server set this to "false". Default is "true".
# enable_metrics_server = false
# If you want to allow non-control-plane workloads to run on the control-plane nodes, set this to "true". The default is "false".
# True by default for single node clusters, and when enable_klipper_metal_lb is true. In those cases, the value below will be ignored.
# allow_scheduling_on_control_plane = true
# If you want to disable the automatic upgrade of k3s, you can set below to "false".
# Ideally, keep it on, to always have the latest Kubernetes version, but lock the initial_k3s_channel to a kube major version,
# of your choice, like v1.25 or v1.26. That way you get the best of both worlds without the breaking changes risk.
# For production use, always use an HA setup with at least 3 control-plane nodes and 2 agents, and keep this on for maximum security.
# The default is "true" (in HA setup i.e. at least 3 control plane nodes & 2 agents, just keep it enabled since it works flawlessly).
# automatically_upgrade_k3s = false
# The default is "true" (in HA setup it works wonderfully well, with automatic roll-back to the previous snapshot in case of an issue).
# IMPORTANT! For non-HA clusters i.e. when the number of control-plane nodes is < 3, you have to turn it off.
# automatically_upgrade_os = false
# If you need more control over kured and the reboot behaviour, you can pass additional options to kured.
# For example limiting reboots to certain timeframes. For all options see: https://kured.dev/docs/configuration/
# The default options are: `--reboot-command=/usr/bin/systemctl reboot --pre-reboot-node-labels=kured=rebooting --post-reboot-node-labels=kured=done --period=5m`

# See for options https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.0-v2.4/en/installation/resources/advanced/helm2/helm-rancher/#choose-your-ssl-configuration
# The easiest thing is to leave everything as is (using the default rancher self-signed certificate) and put Cloudflare in front of it.
# As for the number of replicas, by default it is set to the numbe of control plane nodes.
# You can customized all of the above by adding a rancher_values variable see at the end of this file in the advanced section.
# After the cluster is deployed, you can always use HelmChartConfig definition to tweak the configuration.
# IMPORTANT: Rancher's install is quite memory intensive, you will require at least 4GB if RAM, meaning cx21 server type (for your control plane).
# ALSO, in order for Rancher to successfully deploy, you have to set the "rancher_hostname".
# enable_rancher = true
# If using Rancher you can set the Rancher hostname, it must be unique hostname even if you do not use it.
# If not pointing the DNS, you can just port-forward locally via kubectl to get access to the dashboard.
# If you already set the lb_hostname above and are using a Hetzner LB, you do not need to set this one, as it will be used by default.
# But if you set this one explicitly, it will have preference over the lb_hostname in rancher settings.
# rancher_hostname = "rancher.xyz.dev"
# When Rancher is deployed, by default is uses the "latest" channel. But this can be customized.
# The allowed values are "stable" or "latest".
# rancher_install_channel = "stable"
# Finally, you can specify a bootstrap-password for your rancher instance. Minimum 48 characters long!
# If you leave empty, one will be generated for you.
# (Can be used by another rancher2 provider to continue setup of rancher outside this module.)
# rancher_bootstrap_password = ""
# Separate from the above Rancher config (only use one or the other). You can import this cluster directly on an
# an already active Rancher install. By clicking "import cluster" choosing "generic", giving it a name and pasting
# the cluster registration url below. However, you can also ignore that and apply the url via kubectl as instructed
# by Rancher in the wizard, and that would register your cluster too.
# More information about the registration can be found here https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.6/en/cluster-provisioning/registered-clusters/
# rancher_registration_manifest_url = "https://rancher.xyz.dev/v3/import/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.yaml"
# Extra values that will be passed to the `extra-manifests/kustomization.yaml.tpl` if its present.
# extra_kustomize_parameters={}
# It is best practice to turn this off, but for backwards compatibility it is set to "true" by default.
# See https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner/issues/349
# When "false". The kubeconfig file can instead be created by executing: "terraform output --raw kubeconfig > cluster_kubeconfig.yaml"
# Always be careful to not commit this file!
create_kubeconfig = true
# Don't create the kustomize backup. This can be helpful for automation.
# create_kustomization = false

Fazit

In dieser Kubernetes-Serie haben wir uns mit verschiedenen Aspekten der Verwaltung von containerisierten Anwendungen und deren effizienter Orchestrierung beschäftigt. Wir sind in die Welt von Kubernetes eingetaucht, haben seine leistungsstarken Funktionen entdeckt und Einblicke in seine Kernkomponenten gewonnen. Nun, da wir uns dem Ende dieser Serie nähern, ist es an der Zeit, über das Gelernte nachzudenken und unsere nächsten Schritte zu skizzieren.

Mein Ziel war es, euch eine solide Grundlage für die effektive Verwaltung von containerisierten Anwendungen zu vermitteln. Ich hoffe sehr, dass mir das gelungen ist! Außerdem möchte ich euch dazu ermutigen, euch auf dem Laufenden zu halten & das Thema weiter zu verfolgen. Beteiligt euch an bestehenden Erweiterungsprojekten, erstellt eigene Helm-Diagramme und priorisiert die Verfügbarkeit eurer Deployments!

Wenn ihr meine Empfehlungen beherzigt und weiterhin das sich ständig weiterentwickelnde Kubernetes-Ökosystem im Auge behaltet, werdet ihr gut gerüstet sein um

  • eure Deployments zu optimieren

  • widerstandfähige Applikationen auszuliefern und

  • immer vorne mit dabei zu sein, wenn es um Container-Orchestrierung geht!

Viel Spaß beim Kuberneten!

 

PS: Ich plane eine Fortsetzung, die sich mit hochverfügbaren Clustern und Storage beschäftigt! Folgt gerne unseren Social Media Kanälen und bleibt immer up to date!
