h2. General architecture and components overview
23
24
* All k8s clusters are IPv6 only
25
* We use BGP peering to propagate podcidr and serviceCidr networks to our infrastructure
26
* The main public testing repository is "ungleich-k8s":https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/ungleich-k8s
27 18 Nico Schottelius
** Private configurations are found in the **k8s-config** repository

31 28 Nico Schottelius
| **Type/Feature**            | **Development**                | **Production**         |
32
| Min No. nodes               | 3 (1 master, 3 worker)         | 5 (3 master, 3 worker) |
33
| Recommended minimum         | 4 (dedicated master, 3 worker) | 8 (3 master, 5 worker) |
34
| Separation of control plane | optional                       | recommended            |
35
| Persistent storage          | required                       | required               |
36
| Number of storage monitors  | 3                              | 5                      |

h3. Installing a new k8s cluster
41 8 Nico Schottelius
42 9 Nico Schottelius
* Decide on the cluster name (usually *cX.k8s.ooo*), X counting upwards
43 28 Nico Schottelius
** Using pXX.k8s.ooo for production clusters of placeXX
44 9 Nico Schottelius
* Use cdist to configure the nodes with requirements like crio
45
* Decide between single or multi node control plane setups (see below)
46 28 Nico Schottelius
** Single control plane suitable for development clusters
47 9 Nico Schottelius
48 28 Nico Schottelius
Typical init procedure:
49 9 Nico Schottelius
50 28 Nico Schottelius
* Single control plane: @kubeadm init --config bootstrap/XXX/kubeadm.yaml@
51
* Multi control plane (HA): @kubeadm init --config bootstrap/XXX/kubeadm.yaml --upload-certs@

h2. Infrastructure versions

63
h3. ungleich kubernetes infrastructure v3
64
65
* rook is now installed via helm via argocd instead of directly via manifests
66 10 Nico Schottelius
67 28 Nico Schottelius
h3. ungleich kubernetes infrastructure v2
68
69
* Replaced fluxv2 from ungleich k8s v1 with argocd
70
** argocd can apply helm templates directly without needing to go through Chart releases
71
* We are also using argoflow for build flows
72
* Planned to add "kaniko":https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko for image building
73
74
h3. ungleich kubernetes infrastructure v1
75
76
We are using the following components:
77
78
* "Calico as a CNI":https://www.projectcalico.org/ with BGP, IPv6 only, no encapsulation
79
** Needed for basic networking
80
* "kubernetes-secret-generator":https://github.com/mittwald/kubernetes-secret-generator for creating secrets
81
** Needed so that secrets are not stored in the git repository, but only in the cluster
82
* "ungleich-certbot":https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/ungleich/ungleich-certbot
83
** Needed to get letsencrypt certificates for services
84
* "rook with ceph rbd + cephfs":https://rook.io/ for storage
85
** rbd for almost everything, *ReadWriteOnce*
86
** cephfs for smaller things, multi access *ReadWriteMany*
87
** Needed for providing persistent storage
88
* "flux v2":https://fluxcd.io/
89
** Needed to manage resources automatically
