kube cookbook

The kube cookbook is a Library cookbook that provides custom resources for managing various components of a Kubernetes cluster.

Requirements

Chef

  • Chef Infra client 15 or higher

Platforms

  • Ubuntu 16.04+
  • Debian 8+
  • RHEL 7+

Cookbook Dependencies

  • None

Usage

  • Add 'kube', '~> 5.0' to your cookbook's metadata.rb.
  • Use the resources shipped in this cookbook in your recipes the same way you use core Chef resources like file, template, directory, package, etc.
# Master
kube_apiserver 'default' do
  service_cluster_ip_range '10.0.0.1/24'
  etcd_servers 'http://127.0.0.1:2379'
  insecure_bind_address '0.0.0.0' # for convenience
  action %w(create start)
end

kube_scheduler 'default' do
  master '127.0.0.1:8080'
  action %w(create start)
end

kube_controller_manager 'default' do
  master '127.0.0.1:8080'
  action %w(create start)
end

# Node

kubelet_service 'default' do
  api_servers 'http://127.0.0.1:8080'
  config '/etc/kubernetes/manifests'
  cluster_dns '10.0.0.10'
  cluster_domain 'cluster.local'
  action %w(create start)
end

kube_proxy 'default' do
  master '127.0.0.1:8080'
  action %w(create start)
end

The test cookbook ran under test-kitchen provide good usage examples. It is found in test/cookbooks/kube_test.

Resources Overview

Components for a Kubernetes node:

  • kubelet
  • kube_proxy

Components for a Kubernetes master:

  • kube_apiserver
  • kube_scheduler
  • kube_controller_manager

Common Properties

All the above resources will contain the following properties:

  • remote - The URL of where a corresponding component's binary can be downloaded. The default value points to the official Kubernetes release URL of each component. Check each resource for the default value of each component.
  • version - The version of the Kubernetes artifact to pull down. Defaults to '1.7.5'. NOTE: This will be ignored if you set the remote property instead.
  • checksum - The SHA256 hash of the Kubernetes component's binary.
  • run_user - The user in which to run the Kubernetes user. Defaults to 'kubernetes'.
  • file_ulimit - The file ulimit value to set for the services - Integer. Defaults to 65536

Common Actions

All the above resources will contain the following actions:

  • create - Download the Kubernetes component's binary to /usr/bin.
  • start - Starts the Kubernetes component managed through a systemd unit.

Resource Properties

Each resource' set of unique properties corresponds to the options in the Kubernetes component they represent:

In general, a command line flag of the form --long-option will correspond to a custom resource property called long_option.

Extending Properties

When newer versions of Kubernetes are released, components might introduce and deprecate some commandline flags that are not yet hard-coded as properties.

To add these properties, a wrapper cookbook can be written like the following:

# wrapper-cookbook/metadata.rb
name 'wrapper-cookbook'
depends 'kube', '~> 5.0' # Make sure you have this

# wrapper-cookbook/libraries/apiserver.rb
class KubernetesCookbook::KubeApiserver
  property :something_only_in_kubernetes9000
end

The kube_apiserver resource can now use the new commandline flag available in Kubernetes v9000 like the following:

# wrapper-cookbook/recipes/default.rb
kube_apiserver 'default' do
  something_only_in_kubernetes9000 'someflag'
end
