This page is a placeholder for information and processes surrounding Kubernetes (K8).

A quick-start guide can be found here: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/release-1.1/docs/getting-started-guides/docker.md/

Installing kubectl

The following set of commands can be used to install kubectl on your machine. You may need to change the version number below:

mkdir /home/core/kubectl
cd /home/core/kubectl
curl -L "https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.1.3/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl" > .
export PATH=$PATH:`pwd`
chmod +x kubectl 

 

Single-Node (Developer)

  • A single CoreOS node running all components of Kubernetes and NDS Labs, suitable for developing and testing new features for the platform.

Setup

  1. Create a single CoreOS machine on Nebula with an assigned SSH key.
  2. Assign a floating IP to this machine.
  3. Add the new machine to the "remote SSH", "remote HTTP", and "Kubernetes NodePort" security groups.
  4. SSH into the new machine using the assigned key.
  5. Execute the following command to obtain the NDS Labs startup scripts:

    git clone https://github.com/craig-willis/ndslabs-startup.git
    cd ndslabs-startup/
  6. Execute kube-up.sh to start Kubernetes on your single-node setup:

    ./kube-up.sh
  7. Modify ndslabs/apiserver.yaml and ndslabs/gui.yaml so that it reflects the addresses in your cluster.

  8. Once Kubernetes is up and running, you can run ./ndslabs-up.sh to bring up the GUI and API server:

    ./ndslabs-up.sh

Multi-Node (Production)

Setup

Run the Ansible deployment playbook(s) to provision all necessary machines and volume(s).

Troubleshooting 

Node status is NotReady

Sometimes, worker nodes will enter a "NotReady" state, which will prevent Kubernetes from scheduling pods on the node.

core@lambert-master1 ~ $ kubectl get nodes
NAME              STATUS     AGE
lambert-gfs1      Ready      2d
lambert-loadbal   Ready      2d
lambert-node1     NotReady   2d

To discover the reason behind the error, you can use kubectl describe:

core@lambert-master1 ~ $ kubectl describe node lambert-node1
Name:                   lambert-node1
Labels:                 kubernetes.io/hostname=lambert-node1,ndslabs-node-role=compute

We can see from the verbose output above (under "Conditions") that the node seems to have run out of disk space.

In this case, I cleared out several large Docker images with docker rmi to clear up several GB of disk space.

After freeing up some disk space, we can SSH into the worker node and restart the kubelet there to being it back into the cluster:

core@lambert-deploy-tools ~ $ sudo ssh -i ~/private/lambert-test.pem core@192.168.100.253
core@lambert-node1 ~ $ sudo systemctl restart kubelet
core@lambert-node1 ~ $ exit

Back on the master, you should see shortly that the node has righted itself:
