h2. General architecture and components overview
20
21
* All k8s clusters are IPv6 only
22
* We use BGP peering to propagate podcidr and serviceCidr networks to our infrastructure
23 2 Nico Schottelius
* The main / public repository is "ungleich-k8s":https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/ungleich-k8s

We are using the following components:
28
29 6 Nico Schottelius
* "Calico as a CNI":https://www.projectcalico.org/ with BGP, IPv6 only, no encapsulation
30 1 Nico Schottelius
* "kubernetes-secret-generator":https://github.com/mittwald/kubernetes-secret-generator for creating secrets
31
* "ungleich-certbot":https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/ungleich/ungleich-certbot to get certificates
32 2 Nico Schottelius
* "rook with ceph rbd + cephfs":https://rook.io/ for storage
33
** rbd for almost everything, *ReadWriteOnce*
34
** cephfs for smaller things, multi access *ReadWriteMany*

h3. Installing a new k8s cluster
52
53
* Decide on the cluster name (usually *cX.k8s.ooo*), X counting upwards
54
* Use cdist to configure the nodes with requirements like crio
55
* Decide between single or multi node control plane setups (see below)
56
* Setup DNS delegation and glue records:
57
** kube-dns.kube-system.svc.cX AAAA ...
58
** kube-dns.kube-system.svc.cX A ...
59
** cX NS kube-dns.kube-system.svc.cX

h2. Open Issues / To be discussed
64
65
* "Maybe add Autoscaling support?":https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/metrics-server
66
** https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/run-application/horizontal-pod-autoscale/
67
** https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/tree/master/vertical-pod-autoscaler/
68
* Certainly deploy in-cluster monitoring
69
** "prometheus-operator":https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator CR
70
** "kube-prometheus":https://github.com/prometheus-operator/kube-prometheus complete example, based on prometheus-operator
71 4 Nico Schottelius
** "kubernetes dashboard":https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard generic cluster overview, basically kubectl for a broswer + graphs
72 5 Nico Schottelius
** "kube-prometheus-stack via helm":https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/kube-prometheus-stack#kube-prometheus-stack
73
*** Looks most fitting, testing it in #9468
74 7 Nico Schottelius
* Matrix/Notification bot

** Informing about changes in the cluster
