Features

What works

• Creation of worker nodes on AWS, Digitalocean, Openstack, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Nutanix, VMWare Cloud Director, VMWare Vsphere, Linode, Hetzner cloud and Kubevirt (experimental)
• Using Ubuntu, Flatcar or CentOS 7 distributions (not all distributions work on all providers)

Supported Kubernetes versions

machine-controller tries to follow the Kubernetes version support policy as close as possible.

Currently supported K8S versions are:

• 1.24
• 1.23
• 1.22

What does not work

• Master creation (Not planned at the moment)

Quickstart

Deploy the machine-controller

make deploy

Creating a machineDeployment

# edit examples/$cloudprovider-machinedeployment.yaml & create the machineDeployment
kubectl create -f examples/$cloudprovider-machinedeployment.yaml

Advanced usage

Specifying the apiserver endpoint

By default the controller looks for a cluster-info ConfigMap within the kube-public Namespace. If one is found which contains a minimal kubeconfig (kubeadm cluster have them by default), this kubeconfig will be used for the node bootstrapping. The kubeconfig only needs to contain two things:

• CA-Data
• The public endpoint for the Apiserver

If no ConfigMap can be found:

CA-data

The CA will be loaded from the passed kubeconfig when running outside the cluster or from /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/ca.crt when running inside the cluster.

Apiserver endpoint

The first endpoint from the kubernetes endpoints will be taken. kubectl get endpoints kubernetes -o yaml

Example cluster-info ConfigMap

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: cluster-info
  namespace: kube-public
data:
  kubeconfig: |
    apiVersion: v1
