vagrant-k8s learn


A very quick bodge done to get kubernetes going on vagrant with 3 nodes.
I've been messing too much with my own setup, so having a quick build is just nice to have.

The setup is basically identical to a certified kubeadm install for bare-metal infrastucture.

Usage

Full auto provisioning and deployment with

vagrant up 

Comment out last section in Vagrantfile if you don't need full auto.

Kick deployment again

./vagrant-k8s.sh or ansible-playbook k8s.yaml

Stuff used

  • intel osx 12.3.1 monterey (my host OS) - should easily run on your linux laptop
  • vagrant 2.2.19
  • virtualbox 6.1.32
  • ansible 2.12.4
  • ubuntu 20.4 LTS Focal (guest OS) - test with ubuntu 22.04 failed for k8s (reason unknown as of yet)

Notes

k8s version

Kubernetes version here is 1.23.5-00. Reason being is to allow you to learn how to upgrade k8s with kubeadm. Change in roles/k8s-install/defaults/main.yaml to what you need.

external access

Add 127.0.0.1 kubernetes.default to /etc/hosts on your host if you wish to talk to the cluster from outside of control node. Typically though this would have been achieved by another interface and EXTERNAL-IP config in your k8s

classic vagrant k8s install pitfalls on githubs

Typically in vagrant installs you will endup with worker's internal IPs being 10.0.2.15 This will cause inability to run kubectl exec. I've fixed this as below:

networking

  1. INTERNAL-IP for workers are based on enp0s8 network device as present on my version of virtualbox. Adjust internal_ipv4 variable in hosts.yaml if your setup is different. It should not be needed, really.

  2. Virtualbox on mac by default might not allow you to create required interfaces.
    Try creating a following file /etc//etc/vbox/networks.conf

    * 10.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/16
    

various goodies for k8s - service meshes, ingresses, loadbalancers &whatnot

You have a great chance to try them for yourself here. Otherwise try distros like microk8s.

Estimated build time

6-9 minutes on linux i7-3930K and fairly slowish SSD and 50Mbit internet (and somehow faster on a i9 mac)

Known issues

vagrant up --no-provision will be ignored and ansible will still execute (and should fail safely)
