Kubernetes VIM Installation

This document describes the way to install Kubernetes VIM via Devstack and how to register Kubernetes VIM in Tacker.

To do that job, Tacker reuses the efforts from Kuryr-Kubernetes project in creating Kubernetes cluster and setting up native Neutron-based networking between Kubernetes and OpenStack VIMs. Features from Kuryr-Kubernetes will bring VMs and Pods (and other Kubernetes resources) on the same network.

  1. Edit local.conf file by adding the following content
# Enable kuryr-kubernetes, docker, octavia
KUBERNETES_VIM=True
enable_plugin kuryr-kubernetes https://git.openstack.org/openstack/kuryr-kubernetes master
enable_plugin octavia https://git.openstack.org/openstack/octavia master
enable_plugin devstack-plugin-container https://git.openstack.org/openstack/devstack-plugin-container master
KURYR_K8S_CLUSTER_IP_RANGE="10.0.0.0/24"

The public network will be used to launched LoadBalancer for Services in Kubernetes. The example for setting public subnet is described in [1]

For more details, users also see the same examples in [2] and [3].

  1. Run stack.sh
$ ./stack.sh
  1. Get Kubernetes VIM configuration
  • After successful installation, user can get “Bearer Token”:
$ TOKEN=$(kubectl describe secret $(kubectl get secrets | grep default | cut -f1 -d ' ') | grep -E '^token' | cut -f2 -d':' | tr -d '\t')

In the Hyperkube folder /yourdirectory/data/hyperkube/, user can get more information for authenticating to Kubernetes cluster.

  • Get ssl_ca_cert:
$ sudo cat /opt/stack/data/hyperkube/ca.crt

  • Get basic authentication username and password:
$ sudo cat /opt/stack/data/hyperkube/basic_auth.csv
admin,admin,admin

The basic auth file is a csv file with a minimum of 3 columns: password, user name, user id. If there are more than 3 columns, see the following example:

password,user,uid,"group1,group2,group3"

In this example, the user belongs to group1, group2 and group3.

  • Get Kubernetes server url

By default Kubernetes server listens on https://127.0.0.1:6443 and https://{HOST_IP}:6443

$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/
{
  "kind": "APIVersions",
  "versions": [
    "v1"
  ],
  "serverAddressByClientCIDRs": [
    {
      "clientCIDR": "0.0.0.0/0",
      "serverAddress": "192.168.11.110:6443"
    }
  ]
}
  1. Check Kubernetes cluster installation

By default, after set KUBERNETES_VIM=True, Devstack creates a public network called net-k8s, and two extra ones for the kubernetes services and pods under the project k8s:

$ openstack network list --project admin
+--------------------------------------+-----------------+--------------------------------------+
| ID                                   | Name            | Subnets                              |

+--------------------------------------+-----------------+--------------------------------------+

To check Kubernetes cluster works well, please see some tests in kuryr-kubernetes to get more information [4].

  1. Register Kubernetes VIM

In vim_config.yaml, project_name is fixed as “default”, that will use to support multi tenant on Kubernetes in the future.

  • Create vim_config.yaml file for Kubernetes VIM as the following examples:
auth_url: "https://192.168.11.110:6443"
bearer_token: "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJrdWJlcm5ldGVzL3NlcnZpY2VhY2NvdW50Iiwia3ViZXJuZXRlcy5pby9zZXJ2aWNlYWNjb3VudC9uYW1lc3BhY2UiOiJkZWZhdWx0Iiwia3ViZXJuZXRlcy5pby9zZXJ2aWNlYWNjb3VudC9zZWNyZXQubmFtZSI6ImRlZmF1bHQtdG9rZW4tc2ZqcTQiLCJrdWJlcm5ldGVzLmlvL3NlcnZpY2VhY2NvdW50L3NlcnZpY2UtYWNjb3VudC5uYW1lIjoiZGVmYXVsdCIsImt1YmVybmV0ZXMuaW8vc2VydmljZWFjY291bnQvc2VydmljZS1hY2NvdW50LnVpZCI6IjBiMzZmYTQ2LWFhOTUtMTFlNy05M2Q4LTQwOGQ1Y2Q0ZmJmMSIsInN1YiI6InN5c3RlbTpzZXJ2aWNlYWNjb3VudDpkZWZhdWx0OmRlZmF1bHQifQ.MBjFA18AjD6GyXmlqsdsFpJD_tgPfst2faOimfVob-gBqnAkAU0Op2IEauiBVooFgtvzm-HY2ceArftSlZQQhLDrJGgH0yMAUmYhI8pKcFGd_hxn_Ubk7lPqwR6GIuApkGVMNIlGh7LFLoF23S_yMGvO8CHPM-UbFjpbCOECFdnoHjz-MsMqyoMfGEIF9ga7ZobWcKt_0A4ge22htL2-lCizDvjSFlAj4cID2EM3pnJ1J3GXEqu-W9DUFa0LM9u8fm_AD9hBKVz1dePX1NOWglxxjW4KGJJ8dV9_WEmG2A2B-9Jy6AKW83qqicBjYUUeAKQfjgrTDl6vSJOHYyzCYQ"

User can change the authentication like username, password, etc. Please see Kubernetes document [5] to read more information about Kubernetes authentication.

  • Run Tacker command for register vim:
$ openstack vim register --config-file vim_config.yaml vim-kubernetes

$ openstack vim list

In placement_attr, there are three regions: ‘default’, ‘kube-public’, ‘kube-system’, that map to namespace in Kubernetes environment.

  • Other related commands to Kubernetes VIM

When update Kubernetes VIM, user can update VIM information (such as username, password, bearer_token and ssl_ca_cert) except auth_url and type of VIM.
