Dalton Hubble 721c847943 Set kube-apiserver kubelet preferred address types
* Prefer InternalIP and ExternalIP over the node's hostname,
to match upstream behavior and kubeadm
* Previously, hostname-override was used to set node names
to internal IP's to work around some cloud providers not
resolving hostnames for instances (e.g. DO droplets)

# Google Cloud
In this tutorial, we'll create a Kubernetes v1.12.2 cluster on Google Compute Engine with Container Linux.
We'll declare a Kubernetes cluster using the Typhoon Terraform module. Then apply the changes to create a network, firewall rules, health checks, controller instances, worker managed instance group, load balancers, and TLS assets.
Controllers are provisioned to run an `etcd-member` peer and a `kubelet` service. Workers run just a `kubelet` service. A one-time [bootkube](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/bootkube) bootstrap schedules the `apiserver`, `scheduler`, `controller-manager`, and `coredns` on controllers and schedules `kube-proxy` and `calico` (or `flannel`) on every node. A generated `kubeconfig` provides `kubectl` access to the cluster.
## Requirements
* Google Cloud Account and Service Account
* Google Cloud DNS Zone (registered Domain Name or delegated subdomain)
* Terraform v0.11.x and [terraform-provider-ct](https://github.com/coreos/terraform-provider-ct) installed locally
## Terraform Setup
Install [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html) v0.11.x on your system.
```sh
$ terraform version
Terraform v0.11.7
```
Add the [terraform-provider-ct](https://github.com/coreos/terraform-provider-ct) plugin binary for your system.
```sh
wget https://github.com/coreos/terraform-provider-ct/releases/download/v0.2.1/terraform-provider-ct-v0.2.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar xzf terraform-provider-ct-v0.2.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv terraform-provider-ct-v0.2.1-linux-amd64/terraform-provider-ct /usr/local/bin/
```
Add the plugin to your `~/.terraformrc`.
```
providers {
ct = "/usr/local/bin/terraform-provider-ct"
}
```
Read [concepts](/architecture/concepts/) to learn about Terraform, modules, and organizing resources. Change to your infrastructure repository (e.g. `infra`).
```
cd infra/clusters
```
## Provider
Login to your Google Console [API Manager](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard) and select a project, or [signup](https://cloud.google.com/free/) if you don't have an account.
Select "Credentials" and create a service account key. Choose the "Compute Engine Admin" role and save the JSON private key to a file that can be referenced in configs.
```sh
mv ~/Downloads/project-id-43048204.json ~/.config/google-cloud/terraform.json
```
Configure the Google Cloud provider to use your service account key, project-id, and region in a `providers.tf` file.
```tf
provider "google" {
version = "1.6"
alias = "default"
credentials = "${file("~/.config/google-cloud/terraform.json")}"
project = "project-id"
region = "us-central1"
}
provider "local" {
version = "~> 1.0"
alias = "default"
}
provider "null" {
version = "~> 1.0"
alias = "default"
}
provider "template" {
version = "~> 1.0"
alias = "default"
}
provider "tls" {
version = "~> 1.0"
alias = "default"
}
```
Additional configuration options are described in the `google` provider [docs](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/google/index.html).
!!! tip
Regions are listed in [docs](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones/regions-zones) or with `gcloud compute regions list`. A project may contain multiple clusters across different regions.
## Cluster
Define a Kubernetes cluster using the module `google-cloud/container-linux/kubernetes`.
```tf
module "google-cloud-yavin" {
source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//google-cloud/container-linux/kubernetes?ref=v1.12.2"
providers = {
google = "google.default"
local = "local.default"
null = "null.default"
template = "template.default"
tls = "tls.default"
}
# Google Cloud
cluster_name = "yavin"
region = "us-central1"
dns_zone = "example.com"
dns_zone_name = "example-zone"
# configuration
ssh_authorized_key = "ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nz..."
asset_dir = "/home/user/.secrets/clusters/yavin"
# optional
worker_count = 2
}
```
Reference the [variables docs](#variables) or the [variables.tf](https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/blob/master/google-cloud/container-linux/kubernetes/variables.tf) source.
## ssh-agent
Initial bootstrapping requires `bootkube.service` be started on one controller node. Terraform uses `ssh-agent` to automate this step. Add your SSH private key to `ssh-agent`.
```sh
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
ssh-add -L
```
## Apply
Initialize the config directory if this is the first use with Terraform.
```sh
terraform init
```
Plan the resources to be created.
```sh
$ terraform plan
Plan: 64 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
```
Apply the changes to create the cluster.
```sh
$ terraform apply
module.google-cloud-yavin.null_resource.bootkube-start: Still creating... (10s elapsed)
...
module.google-cloud-yavin.null_resource.bootkube-start: Still creating... (5m30s elapsed)
module.google-cloud-yavin.null_resource.bootkube-start: Still creating... (5m40s elapsed)
module.google-cloud-yavin.null_resource.bootkube-start: Creation complete (ID: 5768638456220583358)
Apply complete! Resources: 64 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
```
In 4-8 minutes, the Kubernetes cluster will be ready.
## Verify
[Install kubectl](https://coreos.com/kubernetes/docs/latest/configure-kubectl.html) on your system. Use the generated `kubeconfig` credentials to access the Kubernetes cluster and list nodes.
```
$ 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 v1.12.2
yavin-worker-jrbf.c.example-com.internal node Ready 5m v1.12.2
yavin-worker-mzdm.c.example-com.internal node Ready 5m v1.12.2
```
List the pods.
```
$ kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

## Going Further
Learn about [maintenance](/topics/maintenance/) and [addons](/addons/overview/).
!!! note
On Container Linux clusters, install the `CLUO` addon to coordinate reboots and drains when nodes auto-update. Otherwise, updates may not be applied until the next reboot.
## Variables
Check the [variables.tf](https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/blob/master/google-cloud/container-linux/kubernetes/variables.tf) source.
### Required
| Name | Description | Example |
|:-----|:------------|:--------|
| cluster_name | Unique cluster name (prepended to dns_zone) | "yavin" |
| region | Google Cloud region | "us-central1" |
| dns_zone | Google Cloud DNS zone | "google-cloud.example.com" |
| dns_zone_name | Google Cloud DNS zone name | "example-zone" |
| ssh_authorized_key | SSH public key for user 'core' | "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NZ..." |
| asset_dir | Path to a directory where generated assets should be placed (contains secrets) | "/home/user/.secrets/clusters/yavin" |
Check the list of valid [regions](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones/regions-zones) and list Container Linux [images](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images) with `gcloud compute images list | grep coreos`.
#### DNS Zone
Clusters create a DNS A record `${cluster_name}.${dns_zone}` to resolve a TCP proxy load balancer backed by controller instances. This FQDN is used by workers and `kubectl` to access the apiserver(s). In this example, the cluster's apiserver would be accessible at `yavin.google-cloud.example.com`.
You'll need a registered domain name or delegated subdomain on Google Cloud DNS. You can set this up once and create many clusters with unique names.
```tf
resource "google_dns_managed_zone" "zone-for-clusters" {
dns_name = "google-cloud.example.com."
name = "example-zone"
description = "Production DNS zone"
}
```
!!! tip ""
If you have an existing domain name with a zone file elsewhere, just delegate a subdomain that can be managed on Google Cloud (e.g. google-cloud.mydomain.com) and [update nameservers](https://cloud.google.com/dns/update-name-servers).
### Optional
| Name | Description | Default | Example |
|:-----|:------------|:--------|:--------|
| controller_count | Number of controllers (i.e. masters) | 1 | 3 |
| worker_count | Number of workers | 1 | 3 |
| controller_type | Machine type for controllers | "n1-standard-1" | See below |
| worker_type | Machine type for workers | "n1-standard-1" | See below |
| os_image | Container Linux image for compute instances | "coreos-stable" | "coreos-stable-1632-3-0-v20180215" |
| disk_size | Size of the disk in GB | 40 | 100 |
| worker_preemptible | If enabled, Compute Engine will terminate workers randomly within 24 hours | false | true |
| controller_clc_snippets | Controller Container Linux Config snippets | [] | [example](/advanced/customization/) |
| worker_clc_snippets | Worker Container Linux Config snippets | [] | [example](/advanced/customization/) |
| networking | Choice of networking provider | "calico" | "calico" or "flannel" |
| pod_cidr | CIDR IPv4 range to assign to Kubernetes pods | "10.2.0.0/16" | "10.22.0.0/16" |
| service_cidr | CIDR IPv4 range to assign to Kubernetes services | "10.3.0.0/16" | "10.3.0.0/24" |
| cluster_domain_suffix | FQDN suffix for Kubernetes services answered by coredns. | "cluster.local" | "k8s.example.com" |
Check the list of valid [machine types](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-types).
#### Preemption
Add `worker_preemeptible = "true"` to allow worker nodes to be [preempted](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/preemptible) at random, but pay [significantly](https://cloud.google.com/compute/pricing) less. Clusters tolerate stopping instances fairly well (reschedules pods, but cannot drain) and preemption provides a nice reward for running fault-tolerant cluster systems.`
