# Google Cloud
|
|
|
|
In this tutorial, we'll create a Kubernetes v1.18.1 cluster on Google Compute Engine with CoreOS Container Linux or Flatcar 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.
|
|
|
|
Controller hosts are provisioned to run an `etcd-member` peer and a `kubelet` service. Worker hosts run a `kubelet` service. Controller nodes run `kube-apiserver`, `kube-scheduler`, `kube-controller-manager`, and `coredns`, while `kube-proxy` and `calico` (or `flannel`) run 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 v0.12.6+ and [terraform-provider-ct](https://github.com/poseidon/terraform-provider-ct) installed locally
|
|
|
|
## Terraform Setup
|
|
|
|
Install [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html) v0.12.6+ on your system.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ terraform version
|
|
Terraform v0.12.21
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add the [terraform-provider-ct](https://github.com/poseidon/terraform-provider-ct) plugin binary for your system to `~/.terraform.d/plugins/`, noting the final name.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
wget https://github.com/poseidon/terraform-provider-ct/releases/download/v0.5.0/terraform-provider-ct-v0.5.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz
|
|
tar xzf terraform-provider-ct-v0.5.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz
|
|
mv terraform-provider-ct-v0.5.0-linux-amd64/terraform-provider-ct ~/.terraform.d/plugins/terraform-provider-ct_v0.5.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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" and "DNS Administrator" roles 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 = "3.12.0"
|
|
project = "project-id"
|
|
region = "us-central1"
|
|
credentials = file("~/.config/google-cloud/terraform.json")
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
provider "ct" {
|
|
version = "0.5.0"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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 "yavin" {
|
|
source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//google-cloud/container-linux/kubernetes?ref=v1.18.1"
|
|
|
|
# Google Cloud
|
|
cluster_name = "yavin"
|
|
region = "us-central1"
|
|
dns_zone = "example.com"
|
|
dns_zone_name = "example-zone"
|
|
|
|
# configuration
|
|
ssh_authorized_key = "ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nz..."
|
|
|
|
# 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.
|
|
|
|
### Flatcar Linux Only
|
|
|
|
!!! warning
|
|
Typhoon for Flatcar Linux on Google Cloud is alpha.
|
|
|
|
Flatcar Linux publishes Google Cloud images, but does not upload them. Google Cloud allows [custom boot images](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images/import-existing-image) to be uploaded to a bucket and imported into a project.
|
|
|
|
[Download](https://www.flatcar-linux.org/releases/) the Flatcar Linux GCE gzipped tarball and upload it to a Google Cloud storage bucket.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
gsutil list
|
|
gsutil cp flatcar_production_gce.tar.gz gs://BUCKET
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a Compute Engine image from the file.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
gcloud compute images create flatcar-linux-2303-4-0 --source-uri gs://BUCKET_NAME/flatcar_production_gce.tar.gz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set the [os_image](#variables) to the image name (e.g. `flatcar-linux-2303-4-0`)
|
|
|
|
## ssh-agent
|
|
|
|
Initial bootstrapping requires `bootstrap.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.yavin.null_resource.bootstrap: Still creating... (10s elapsed)
|
|
...
|
|
module.yavin.null_resource.bootstrap: Still creating... (5m30s elapsed)
|
|
module.yavin.null_resource.bootstrap: Still creating... (5m40s elapsed)
|
|
module.yavin.null_resource.bootstrap: Creation complete (ID: 5768638456220583358)
|
|
|
|
Apply complete! Resources: 62 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In 4-8 minutes, the Kubernetes cluster will be ready.
|
|
|
|
## Verify
|
|
|
|
[Install kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/) on your system. Obtain the generated cluster `kubeconfig` from module outputs (e.g. write to a local file).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
resource "local_file" "kubeconfig-yavin" {
|
|
content = module.yavin.kubeconfig-admin
|
|
filename = "/home/user/.kube/configs/yavin-config"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
List nodes in the cluster.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ export KUBECONFIG=/home/user/.kube/configs/yavin-config
|
|
$ kubectl get nodes
|
|
NAME ROLES STATUS AGE VERSION

|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
### 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..." |
|
|
|
|
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

|
|
| worker_count | Number of workers | 1 | 3 |
|
|
| controller_type | Machine type for controllers | "n1-standard-1" | See below |

|
|
Check the list of valid [machine types](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-types).
|
|
|
|
#### Preemption
|
|
|
|
Add `worker_preemptible = "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.`
