Set up a Kubernetes Cluster on AWS instances running coreOS through Ansible

This is based on https://github.com/thesamet/ansible-kubernetes-coreos with few mods/fixes for our env

This will set up a cluster with 5 nodes, 1 kubernetes masters which runs as etcd endpoint too, 2 kubernetes minions and 2 etcd nodes

requirements

aws setup:

VPC with a tag key KubernetesCluster and any value key (just need to make sure you use the same for all the cluster)
Subnets with public face for the ELB -- need the same tag KubernetesCluster and key value

IAM policy: -- policy example:

{
 "Version": "2012-10-17",
 "Statement": [
     {
         "Effect": "Allow",
         "Action": [
             "ec2:*"
         ],
         "Resource": [
             "*"
         ]
     },
     {
         "Effect": "Allow",
         "Action": [
             "elasticloadbalancing:*"
         ],
         "Resource": [
             "*"
         ]
     },
     {
         "Effect": "Allow",
         "Action": "s3:*",
         "Resource": [
             "arn:aws:s3:::kubernetes-*"
         ]
     }
 ]

}


- IAM role:
      -- name: kubernetes-master-role (This name would be use in the cloudformation template -- IamInstanceProfile)
 
coreos-cluster: need a full CoreOS cluster setup with access to SSH via keys

- check `https://s3.amazonaws.com/jpcf-template/coreos-kuber.json` as cloudformation template example
- when creating, use tag key `KubernetesCluster` and same key value

coreos-bootstrap:

$ ansible-galaxy install defunctzombie.coreos-bootstrap`


Running
-------
1. Customize `inventory`

2. Customize `vars.yaml`

3. Generate TSL: (first need to customize `kube-tls/conf/openssl.cnf`)

$ cd kube-tls/scripts/ $ ./generate-all.sh $ cd ../../


4. Run:

$ ansible-playbook -i ./inventory -e @./vars.yaml provision.yaml


Then ssh to your master, and you should be able to start exploring:

$ /opt/local/bin/kubectl get nodes


Example
-------
Taken from `https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/release-1.1/examples/guestbook`

   - Run:

$ bash kubernetes/example/go.sh


- Make sure all the pods are running

$ /opt/local/bin/kubectl get pods NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE frontend-d3h2h 1/1 Running 0 3m frontend-r0w0m 1/1 Running 0 3m frontend-z49di 1/1 Running 0 3m redis-master-nogsw 1/1 Running 0 3m redis-slave-592sz 1/1 Running 0 3m redis-slave-eos92 1/1 Running 0 3m


- Make sure the fronend service created the ELB and get the ELB link (`LoadBalancer Ingress`)

$ /opt/local/bin/kubectl describe service frontend Name: frontend Namespace: default Labels: name=frontend Selector: name=frontend Type: LoadBalancer IP: 10.3.0.58 LoadBalancer Ingress: ab215f0f1df1511e5b39c0ee7c7529bc-932350016.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com Port: 80/TCP NodePort: 30435/TCP Endpoints: 10.2.72.5:80,10.2.80.3:80,10.2.80.4:80 Session Affinity: None Events: FirstSeen LastSeen Count From SubobjectPath Reason Message ───────── ──────── ───── ──── ───────────── ────── ─────── 3m 3m 1 {service-controller } CreatingLoadBalancer Creating load balancer 3m 3m 1 {service-controller } CreatedLoadBalancer Created load balancer


- You can access the service using the ELB address i.e `http://ab215f0f1df1511e5b39c0ee7c7529bc-932350016.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/` 

- If everything is ok you can cleanup by running

$ bash kubernetes/example/cleanup.sh


Reconfiguration
---------------

- If the kubernetes master goes BOOM, a new masters needs to be setup and to mantain quorum we will need a new etcd member.
 1. edit openssl.cnf and regenerate all the certs
 2. edit `vars.yaml` and 'inventory'
 3. Run:
 ```
 $ ansible-playbook -i ./inventory  -e @./vars.yaml provision.yaml
 ```
 4. you should be able to list/get all the rc, services and pods as before

- To get new ETCD member into the cluster
 1. edit `inventory-etcd`; the "etcdreplace" group is the IP of the new node and "etcdmembers" are all the etcd endpoints (including new)
 2. run
    ```
    $ ansible-playbook -i ./inventory-etcd  -e @./vars.yaml provision-new-etcd.yaml
    ```
 3. From master, confirm the new node is there 
    ```
    $ etcdctl member list
    ```
 4. From new ETCD member, make sure it synced ok
    ```
    $ etcdctl get /registry/services/specs/default/frontend
    ```
