h2. General architecture and components overview
25
26
* All k8s clusters are IPv6 only
27
* We use BGP peering to propagate podcidr and serviceCidr networks to our infrastructure
28
* The main public testing repository is "ungleich-k8s":https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/ungleich-k8s
29 18 Nico Schottelius
** Private configurations are found in the **k8s-config** repository

33 28 Nico Schottelius
| **Type/Feature**            | **Development**                | **Production**         |
34
| Min No. nodes               | 3 (1 master, 3 worker)         | 5 (3 master, 3 worker) |
35
| Recommended minimum         | 4 (dedicated master, 3 worker) | 8 (3 master, 5 worker) |
36
| Separation of control plane | optional                       | recommended            |
37
| Persistent storage          | required                       | required               |
38
| Number of storage monitors  | 3                              | 5                      |

h3. Get the argocd credentials
43
44
<pre>
45 37 Nico Schottelius
kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d; echo ""

h3. Installing a new k8s cluster
49 8 Nico Schottelius
50 9 Nico Schottelius
* Decide on the cluster name (usually *cX.k8s.ooo*), X counting upwards
51 28 Nico Schottelius
** Using pXX.k8s.ooo for production clusters of placeXX
52 9 Nico Schottelius
* Use cdist to configure the nodes with requirements like crio
53
* Decide between single or multi node control plane setups (see below)
54 28 Nico Schottelius
** Single control plane suitable for development clusters
55 9 Nico Schottelius
56 28 Nico Schottelius
Typical init procedure:
57 9 Nico Schottelius
58 28 Nico Schottelius
* Single control plane: @kubeadm init --config bootstrap/XXX/kubeadm.yaml@
59
* Multi control plane (HA): @kubeadm init --config bootstrap/XXX/kubeadm.yaml --upload-certs@

h3. Removing / draining a node
92
93
Usually @kubectl drain server@ should do the job, but sometimes we need to be more aggressive:
94
95
<pre>
96
kubectl drain --delete-emptydir-data --ignore-daemonsets server23

h2. Infrastructure versions
106 35 Nico Schottelius
107
h3. ungleich kubernetes infrastructure v3
108
109
* rook is now installed via helm via argocd instead of directly via manifests
110 10 Nico Schottelius
111 28 Nico Schottelius
h3. ungleich kubernetes infrastructure v2
112
113
* Replaced fluxv2 from ungleich k8s v1 with argocd
114
** argocd can apply helm templates directly without needing to go through Chart releases
115
* We are also using argoflow for build flows
116
* Planned to add "kaniko":https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko for image building
117
118
h3. ungleich kubernetes infrastructure v1
119
120
We are using the following components:
121
122
* "Calico as a CNI":https://www.projectcalico.org/ with BGP, IPv6 only, no encapsulation
123
** Needed for basic networking
124
* "kubernetes-secret-generator":https://github.com/mittwald/kubernetes-secret-generator for creating secrets
125
** Needed so that secrets are not stored in the git repository, but only in the cluster
126
* "ungleich-certbot":https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/ungleich/ungleich-certbot
127
** Needed to get letsencrypt certificates for services
128
* "rook with ceph rbd + cephfs":https://rook.io/ for storage
129
** rbd for almost everything, *ReadWriteOnce*
130
** cephfs for smaller things, multi access *ReadWriteMany*
131
** Needed for providing persistent storage
132
* "flux v2":https://fluxcd.io/
133
** Needed to manage resources automatically
