# Customization
|
|
|
|
Typhoon provides Kubernetes clusters with defaults recommended for production. Terraform variables expose supported customization options. Advanced options are available for customizing the architecture or hosts as well.
|
|
|
|
## Variables
|
|
|
|
Typhoon modules accept Terraform input variables for customizing clusters in meritorious ways (e.g. `worker_count`, etc). Variables are carefully considered to provide essentials, while limiting complexity and test matrix burden. See each platform's tutorial for options.
|
|
|
|
## Addons
|
|
|
|
Clusters are kept to a minimal Kubernetes control plane by offering components like Nginx Ingress Controller, Prometheus, and Grafana as optional post-install [addons](https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/tree/master/addons). Customize addons by modifying a copy of our addon manifests.
|
|
|
|
## Hosts
|
|
|
|
Typhoon uses the [Ignition](https://github.com/coreos/ignition) system of Fedora CoreOS and Flatcar Linux to immutably declare a system via first-boot disk provisioning. Fedora CoreOS uses a [Fedora CoreOS Config](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/fcct-config/) (FCC) and Flatcar Linux uses a [Container Linux Config](https://github.com/coreos/container-linux-config-transpiler/blob/master/doc/examples.md) (CLC). These define disk partitions, filesystems, systemd units, dropins, config files, mount units, raid arrays, and users.
|
|
|
|
Controller and worker instances form a minimal and secure Kubernetes cluster on each platform. Typhoon provides the **snippets** feature to accept Fedora CoreOS Configs or Container Linux Configs to validate and additively merge into instance declarations. This allows advanced host customization and experimentation.
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
Snippets cannot be used to modify an already existing instance, the antithesis of immutable provisioning. Ignition fully declares a system on first boot only.
|
|
|
|
!!! danger
|
|
Snippets provide the powerful host customization abilities of Ignition. You are responsible for additional units, configs, files, and conflicts.
|
|
|
|
!!! danger
|
|
Edits to snippets for controller instances can (correctly) cause Terraform to observe a diff (if not otherwise suppressed) and propose destroying and recreating controller(s). Recognize that this is destructive since controllers run etcd and are stateful. See [blue/green](/topics/maintenance/#upgrades) clusters.
|
|
|
|
### Fedora CoreOS
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
Fedora CoreOS snippets require `terraform-provider-ct` v0.5+
|
|
|
|
Define a Fedora CoreOS Config (FCC) ([docs](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/fcct-config/), [config](https://github.com/coreos/fcct/blob/master/docs/configuration-v1_0.md), [examples](https://github.com/coreos/fcct/blob/master/docs/examples.md)) in version control near your Terraform workspace directory (e.g. perhaps in a `snippets` subdirectory). You may organize snippets into multiple files, if desired.
|
|
|
|
For example, ensure an `/opt/hello` file is created with permissions 0644.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# custom-files
|
|
variant: fcos
|
|
version: 1.0.0
|
|
storage:
|
|
files:
|
|
- path: /opt/hello
|
|
contents:
|
|
inline: |
|
|
Hello World
|
|
mode: 0644
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Reference the FCC contents by location (e.g. `file("./custom-units.yaml")`). On [AWS](/fedora-coreos/aws/#cluster) or [Google Cloud](/fedora-coreos/google-cloud/#cluster) extend the `controller_snippets` or `worker_snippets` list variables.
|
|
|
|
```tf
|
|
module "nemo" {
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
controller_count = 1
|
|
worker_count = 2
|
|
controller_snippets = [
|
|
file("./custom-files"),
|
|
file("./custom-units"),
|
|
]
|
|
worker_snippets = [
|
|
file("./custom-files"),
|
|
file("./custom-units")",
|
|
]
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On [Bare-Metal](/fedora-coreos/bare-metal/#cluster), different FCCs may be used for each node (since hardware may be heterogeneous). Extend the `snippets` map variable by mapping a controller or worker name key to a list of snippets.
|
|
|
|
```tf
|
|
module "mercury" {
|
|
...
|
|
snippets = {
|
|
"node2" = [file("./units/hello.yaml")]
|
|
"node3" = [
|
|
file("./units/world.yaml"),
|
|
file("./units/hello.yaml"),
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Container Linux
|
|
|
|
Define a Container Linux Config (CLC) ([config](https://github.com/coreos/container-linux-config-transpiler/blob/master/doc/configuration.md), [examples](https://github.com/coreos/container-linux-config-transpiler/blob/master/doc/examples.md)) in version control near your Terraform workspace directory (e.g. perhaps in a `snippets` subdirectory). You may organize snippets into multiple files, if desired.
|
|
|
|
For example, ensure an `/opt/hello` file is created with permissions 0644.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# custom-files
|
|
storage:
|
|
files:
|
|
- path: /opt/hello
|
|
filesystem: root
|
|
contents:
|
|
inline: |
|
|
Hello World
|
|
mode: 0644
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or ensure a systemd unit `hello.service` is created and a dropin `50-etcd-cluster.conf` is added for `etcd-member.service`.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# custom-units
|
|
systemd:
|
|
units:
|
|
- name: hello.service
|
|
enable: true
|
|
contents: |
|
|
[Unit]
|
|
Description=Hello World
|
|
[Service]
|
|
Type=oneshot
|
|
ExecStart=/usr/bin/echo Hello World!
|
|
[Install]
|
|
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
|
- name: etcd-member.service
|
|
enable: true
|
|
dropins:
|
|
- name: 50-etcd-cluster.conf
|
|
contents: |
|
|
Environment="ETCD_LOG_PACKAGE_LEVELS=etcdserver=WARNING,security=DEBUG"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Reference the CLC contents by location (e.g. `file("./custom-units.yaml")`). On [AWS](/cl/aws/#cluster), [Azure](/cl/azure/#cluster), [DigitalOcean](/cl/digital-ocean/#cluster), or [Google Cloud](/cl/google-cloud/#cluster) extend the `controller_snippets` or `worker_snippets` list variables.
|
|
|
|
```tf
|
|
module "nemo" {
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
controller_count = 1
|
|
worker_count = 2
|
|
controller_snippets = [
|
|
file("./custom-files"),
|
|
file("./custom-units"),
|
|
]
|
|
worker_snippets = [
|
|
file("./custom-files"),
|
|
file("./custom-units")",
|
|
]
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On [Bare-Metal](/cl/bare-metal/#cluster), different CLCs may be used for each node (since hardware may be heterogeneous). Extend the `snippets` map variable by mapping a controller or worker name key to a list of snippets.
|
|
|
|
```tf
|
|
module "mercury" {
|
|
...
|
|
snippets = {
|
|
"node2" = [file("./units/hello.yaml")]
|
|
"node3" = [
|
|
file("./units/world.yaml"),
|
|
file("./units/hello.yaml"),
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
Typhoon chooses variables to expose with purpose. If you must customize clusters in ways that aren't supported by input variables, fork Typhoon and maintain a repository with customizations. Reference the repository by changing the username.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
module "nemo" {
|
|
source = "git::https://github.com/USERNAME/typhoon//digital-ocean/container-linux/kubernetes?ref=myspecialcase"
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
