IMPORTANT: Further development on Lokomotive is happening at https://github.com/kinvolk/lokomotive. The new repo brings together several repos; adding a commandline tool, Lokomotive components and improved documentation.

Lokomotive

Lokomotive is an open source project by Kinvolk which distributes pure upstream Kubernetes.

Features

Modules

Lokomotive provides a Terraform Module for each supported operating system and platform. Flatcar Container Linux is a mature and reliable choice.

Platform Operating System Terraform Module Status
AWS Flatcar Container Linux aws/flatcar-linux/kubernetes stable
Azure Flatcar Container Linux azure/flatcar-linux/kubernetes alpha
Bare-Metal Flatcar Container Linux bare-metal/flatcar-linux/kubernetes stable
Packet Flatcar Container Linux packet/flatcar-linux/kubernetes beta

Documentation

Usage

Define a Kubernetes cluster by using the Terraform module for your chosen platform and operating system. Here's a minimal example.

module "aws-tempest" {
  source = "git::https://github.com/kinvolk/lokomotive-kubernetes//aws/flatcar-linux/kubernetes?ref=master"

  # AWS
  cluster_name = "yavin"
  dns_zone     = "example.com"
  dns_zone_id  = "Z3PAABBCFAKEC0"

  # configuration
  ssh_keys = [
    "ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nz...",
    "ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nz...",
  ]

  asset_dir          = "/home/user/.secrets/clusters/yavin"

  # optional
  worker_count = 2
  worker_type  = "t3.small"
}

Initialize modules, plan the changes to be made, and apply the changes.

$ terraform init
$ terraform plan
Plan: 64 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
$ terraform apply
Apply complete! Resources: 64 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.

In 4-8 minutes (varies by platform), the cluster will be ready. This AWS example creates a yavin.example.com DNS record to resolve to a network load balancer backed by controller instances.

$ export KUBECONFIG=/home/user/.secrets/clusters/yavin/auth/kubeconfig
$ kubectl get nodes
NAME                                       ROLES              STATUS  AGE  VERSION
yavin-controller-0.c.example-com.internal  controller,master  Ready   6m   v1.14.1
yavin-worker-jrbf.c.example-com.internal   node               Ready   5m   v1.14.1
yavin-worker-mzdm.c.example-com.internal   node               Ready   5m   v1.14.1

List the pods.

$ kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
