Kubernetes on with Vagrant, Virtualox and Centos7

This repo deploys kubernetes into a cloud composed of Vagrant, VirtualBox and Centos 7.

As currently configured it spins up 7 vms, a load-balancer, 3 controllers and 3 workers. As currently configured it uses 36GB of RAM, but could be confiured to use much less. See the settings in cluster/vagrantFile.

• bin : scripts that start the cloud and deploy Kubernetes
  • cluster.sh [up|halt|destroy …..] : spin up the cloud
  • deploy.sh : deploy kubernetes
  • snapshot_create.sh : create a vitrulbox snapshot
  • dashboard port-forwarding
• cluster : contains vagrant and script resources to to spin up the VM cluster, with static IP addresses
  • 192.168.20.10 : haproxy load-balancer and dnsmasq DNS server
  • 192.168.20.[11-13] : kubernetes masters hosting the API
  • 192.168.20.[21-23] : kubernetes workers that hosts pods with cri-o
• cluster/init_scripts : scripts that initialise each VM appropriately at start up
• kubernetes/masters : scripts to setup and check the status of the kubernetes control plane
  • Flanel deploy
• kubernetes/workers : scripts to setup and check the status of the kubernetes workers
  • dashboard deploy
• lb : script to check the status of the loadbalancer for the kubernetes API
• ingress : contains script to configure nginx ingress

Flannel on Vagrant

Flannel needs to use the host-only adapter eth1.

Dashboard Portforwarding

kubectl --kubeconfig=admin.config port-forward  \
     $(kubectl --kubeconfig=admin.config get pods -l k8s-app=kubernetes-dashboard -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}" -n kubernetes-dashboard) \
     --address 127.0.0.1 8443:8443 \
     -n kubernetes-dashboard
