Note for Kubernetes administration

Kubernetes can be used to manage container based cluster deployment, so hundred of thousands of containers can communicate, discover, and function as expected under the control of kubernetes. Although it sounds complex, but fundamentally it is just a software application managing the running of your application in containers.


1. Installation with kubeadm

There are three main tools for kerbenetes installation and management, they need to be installed on both master and worker nodes with below command

apt-get install -y kubeadm=1.18.1-00 kubelet=1.18.1-00 kubectl=1.18.1-00

1.1 kubeadm:  for installation of master node

A regular linux package running on your virtual machines or local boxes's terminal console to install the kubernetes software, it sets up master node's kubernetes cluster manager, and also allow other VM to join the kubernetes as worker node. Before installing kubeadm, docker needs to be installed first on the VM, which is the basic running unit in the kubernetes cluster 

//1. update apt-get

sudo -i

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade -y

//install docker

apt-get install -y docker.io

//2. prepare kubernetes repo by adding a new line in the below file

//install vim if it is not installed on the current node

apt-get install -y vim

vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list

deb http://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main

curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | apt-key add -

apt-get update

//3 install kubeadm, kubelet, kubectl

apt-get install -y kubelet kubeadm kubectl

apt-mark hold kubelet kubeadm kubectl

//4 install network add on

wget https://docs.projectcalico.org/manifests/calico.yaml


//uncomment below lines in the file to used for kubeadm init pod-network-cidr parameter

            - name: CALICO_IPV4POOL_CIDR

              value: "192.168.0.0/24"

//get ens4 ip address, for example, 10.0.0.6

ip addr show


//add the host ip to host table for k8smaster

root@master: ̃# vim /etc/hosts

10.0.0.6 k8smaster


//create kubeadm-config.yaml file as below at /root folder

apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta2

kind: ClusterConfiguration

kubernetesVersion: 1.20.0

controlPlaneEndpoint: "k8smaster:6443"

networking:

  podSubnet: 192.168.0.0/24

// run kubeadm init to start cluster, the output has information for how to add other nodes

root@master:~# kubeadm init --config=kubeadm-config.yaml --upload-certs 


root@master:~# exit


//allow no root user to manage cluster

mkdir -p $HOME/.kube

sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config

sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config


//apply network addon calico

sudo cp /root/calico.yaml .

kubectl apply -f calico.yaml


//verify master node, and major kube services (calico, coredns, etcd, apiserver, kubeproxy, scheduler) are ready 

kubectl get nodes

kubectl -n kube-system get pods


1.2 kubeadm:  for installation of worker node

//1. update apt-get and install docker

sudo -i

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade -y

//install docker

apt-get install -y docker.io

//2. prepare kubernetes repo by adding a new line in the below file

//install vim if it is not installed on the current node

apt-get install -y vim

vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list

deb http://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main

apt-get update

//3 install kubeadm, kubelet, kubectl

apt-get install -y kubelet kubeadm kubectl

apt-mark hold kubelet kubeadm kubectl

//4 run the below commands on master node to get master ip, for example 10.0.0.6

ip addr show ens4

//use below command to get token from master

sudo kubeadm token list

//if the token is expired, use the below command to generate new one

sudo kubeadm token create


//run the command to get cert hash

openssl x509 -pubkey -in /etc/kubernetes/pki/ca.crt | openssl rsa -pubin -outform der 2>/dev/null | openssl dgst -sha256 -hex | sed 's/ˆ.* //'

//output is (stdin)= fb5f18060d9c9363763da1e0ddf164dd1b41e640204d0e5ab01c366c3f5b944b


//5 go back to worker node, to add master node ip as k8smaster to host table

root@worker: ̃# vim /etc/hosts

//add below line

10.0.0.6 k8smaster


//6 add worker node to cluster

kubeadm join k8smaster:6443 --token xwqbt0.ig282rtsalg84ndw --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:fb5f18060d9c9363763da1e0ddf164dd1b41e640204d0e5ab01c366c3f5b944b


root@worker: ̃# exit


//6 run below command on master node to confirm the worker node is joined

student@master:~$ kubectl get nodes

1.3 cluster upgrade

1.3.1 First upgrade kubeadm package on master node

kubeadm upgrade plan

//get upgrade information

apt-get install kubeadm=1.19.0

//download new version of kubeadmin on master node

1.3.2 upgrade cluster

kubeadm upgrade apply v1.19.0

//apply the kubeadm upgrade of master node, running the command on master node


1.3.3 upgrade kubelet to new version on master node

apt-get install kubelet=1.19.0

or

apt-get upgrade -y kubelet=1.19.0


//restart kubelet

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl restart kubelet


1.3.4 upgrade kubelet on worker node, 

//first drain the worker node from master, then run "ssh workernodename" to login to worker node

apt-get upgrade -y kubelet=1.19.0

apt-get upgrade -y kubeadm=1.19.0

kubeadm upgrade node

//the above command also applies to worker node and other control plan (not master control node) 

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl restart kubelet

at last, uncordon the worker node from master node


2. Manage cluster with kubectl

After kubernetes is installed, on the master node's VM console terminal, user can use kubectl to communicate with kubernetes to manage kubernetes cluster, such as, create/delete nodes/pods, get info from nodes/pods, scale up and down. Internally, kuberctl sends http requests to kubernetes API server, which communicates to different services and controllers to be sure all worker nodes are in good state.

To get the version for yaml file on different resource type, run the below command

kubectl explain typeofresource, for example

kubectl explain replicaset 

2.1 creating pod

// create a pod with run command

kubectl run mypodname --image dockerimagename

kubectl run mytestpod --image=nginx --dry-run=client -o yaml > mypod.yaml 


//get pod info

kubectl get pods 

kubectl get pods -o wide

kubectl describe pod podname

//delete pod

kubectl delete pod podname

//use dry run to generate pod create yaml file

kubectl run mytestpod --image=nginx --dry-run=client -o yaml > mypod.yaml 

//generated yaml file as below

apiVersion: v1

kind: Pod

metadata:

  creationTimestamp: null

// create a pod with a yaml file

kubectl create -f pod.yml

//apply the content in yaml file

kubectl apply -f pod.yaml

//update pod config

kubectl edit pod podname

//select pod based on label matching

kubectl get pod --selector env=prod,bu=finance,tier=frontend

//generate a yaml file based on exist pod

kubectl get pod mypod -o yaml > mypod.yaml


//create a pod with resource limit and request

apiVersion: v1

kubectl create deployment --image=nginx mynginx --dry-run=client -o yaml

kubectl create deployment --image=nginx mynginx --dry-run=client -o yaml > nginx-deployment.yaml

kubectl scale deployment mynginx --replicas=4

//expose deployment as clusterIP on a particular port

kubectl expose deployment mynginx --port 80

kubectl get deployment mydeployment -o yaml

kubectl edit service mynginx


kubectl edit deployment mydeployment



2.4 namespace

kubectl get pods --namespace=dev

kubectl config set-context $(kubectl config current-context) --namespace=dev

kubectl get pods --all-namespaces


2.5 get statistic from pod and node

kubectl top node

kubectl top pod


2.6 get log

kubectl logs -f podname containername


2.7 rollout deployment

Rollout operation is based on the deployment name, the deployment with the same name can be restart pause, resume, undo, etc

//roll back a deployment to previous change

kubectl rollout undo deployment/mydeployment


2.8 command and arg

In pod yaml file, it can uses command and args to replace Docker file's ENTRYPOINT (execution command) and CMD (argument) field

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: command-demo
  labels:
    purpose: demonstrate-command
spec:
  containers:
  - name: command-demo-container

    command: ["printenv"]
    args: ["HOSTNAME", "KUBERNETES_PORT"]

In pod yaml file, it can uses command and args to replace Docker file's ENTRYPOINT (execution command) and CMD (argument) field

To execute a shell command in container

kubectl exec mypodname -c mycontainername -i -t -- mybashcommand

//run interactive bash command
kubectl exec mypodname -it -- sh

2.9 ConfigMaps for Environment variables

kubectl create configmap myconfigmap --from-literal=mykey1=myvalue1 --from-literal=mykey2=myvalue2

kubectl create configmap myconfigmap --from-file=mypropertyfile


Using yaml file to create config map

kubectl create -f myconfigmapyamlfile

2.12 cluster config

kubectl config view
view the cluster config file in ~/home/.kube/config

The current-conext element specifies the current context used by kubectl.

To switch to a different context, using the below command:
kubectl config use-context myusername@myclustername
kubectl config --kubeconfig=/mypath/myconfigfile use-context mycontextname

2.13 volume
1. volume has the same lifetime of a pod, it outlives any containers that run within the pod, and the data is preserved across container restarts. When a pod ceases to exist, the volume is destroyed.
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: test-pd
spec:
  containers:
  - image: k8s.gcr.io/test-webserver
    name: test-container
    volumeMounts:
    - mountPath: /test-pd
      name: test-volume
  volumes:
  - name: test-volume
    hostPath:
      # directory location on host
      path: /data
      # this field is optional
      type: Directory

2. Persistent Volume

Persistent Volume has a lifecycle independent of any individual pod. It is a resource provisioned by cluster admin. A persistentVolumeClaim is a request by a pod to ask for the persistent volume resource.

persistent volume yaml file sample
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume

3. Scheduler

3.1 Scheduler is used to decide which pod runs on which node.
The basic scheduler uses nodeName to select a node with matched name, and run on it.

3.2 taints and toleration

Taint allows a node to define a rule to expel all the pods it does not want, so only those pods with matched toleration can be hosted, in this case, node is rule decider. taint has three effects:

NoSchedule

PreferNoSchedule

NoExecute

//set taint for a node,  which means no pod can be schedule onto node1 unless it has a match toleration

kutectl taint nodes node1 app=blue:NoSchedule


Pod with matched toleration can be hosted in the nodes with taint

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: nginx
labels:
env: test
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
tolerations:
- key: "example-key"
operator: "Exists"
effect: "NoSchedule"

another toleration operation is equal, which has the same result as exists

tolerations:
- key: "key1"
operator: "Equal"
value: "value1"
effect: "NoSchedule"

3.3 node selection and affinity

Pods selection and affinity let pods decide which node can host it, so it expels  all other node it does not want. In this case, pod is decision maker.

3.3.1 pod creation yaml file can contain nodeSelector element which indicates which node can be used to host the pod.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: nginx
  labels:
    env: test
spec:
  containers:
  - name: nginx
    image: nginx
    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
  nodeSelector:
    disktype: ssd

3.3.2 node affinity

Node affinity are configuration which uses complex express in pod definition to match which node can host the pod

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: nginx
spec:
affinity:
nodeAffinity:
requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
nodeSelectorTerms:
- matchExpressions:
- key: disktype
operator: In
values:
- ssd
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent

3.4 resource request and limit

Pod can specify its resource request and resource limit to let scheduler to decide which node can be used to put the pod 

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: frontend
spec:
  containers:
  - name: app
    image: images.my-company.example/app:v4
    resources:
      requests:
        memory: "64Mi"
        cpu: "250m"
      limits:
        memory: "128Mi"
        cpu: "500m"
  - name: log-aggregator
    image: images.my-company.example/log-aggregator:v6
    resources:
      requests:
        memory: "64Mi"
        cpu: "250m"
      limits:
        memory: "128Mi"
        cpu: "500m"

3.5 node maintenance

kubectl drain nodename --ignore-daemonsets --force

Move current pods in the specified node to other nodes, and also mark the specified node as unable to schedule.

kubectl cordon mynode

mark the specified node as unable to schedule.

kubectl uncordon mynodename

mark a node to be able to schedule


Backup cluster data

ETCDCTL_API=3 

etcdctl --endpoints=https://[127.0.0.1]:2379 --cacert=/etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/ca.crt --cert=/etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.crt --key=/etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.key snapshot save /opt/snapshot-pre-boot.db

restore to a new data folder

etcdctl snapshot restore restorefilepath --data-dir=newdatapath

edit etcd manifest file to set data directory to the new data folder

vim /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml


4. Node

In Kubernetes, a node is a VM or a local computer hosting pods. Kubernetes has two types of nodes: master and worker node (), A node can have multiple pods, and each pod can have multiple containers.

kubectl get nodes

Kubernetes scheduler decides which node will host a particular pod.

Label the nodes for pod selection

kubectl label nodes mynodename labelkey=labelvalue

To execute bash command on a node in cluster, use ssh command. 

To execute bash command on a container in a pod, use kubectl exec -it podname -- sh


Master:

master node manages the kubernetes cluster. It contains a component Kube-APIServe to communicate with other management components and all worker nodes. 

Master node contains services to allow pods to communicate to each other and to the outside world, master node also contains controllers to manage and upgrade the deployment of pods

Worker:

worker nodes contain  one or more pods, a pod contains one or more (docker) containers. A pod has a unique ip address and mounted storage shared by all containers within it. 


5. Network configuration:

Kube-Proxy
kube-proxy is used for one pod to access another pod, however, as pod's ip address may change anytime, so calling pod cannot directly connect to target pod using pod's ip address. Instead, the service is used to link the fixed service ip address to dynamic pod ip address. Kube-proxy has a service table to map each service to the current available pod ip address which provides the specific service.


Cluster IP

cluster ip groups the pods with same function and expose them with a single ip address (cluster IP) and port number. When requests sent to the cluster ip and port, it will be redirect to one of matched pods. on the targetPort.


The output of 

kubectl describe service myclusteripservice -o wide

includes endpoint field, which is the matched pods' ip address and ports.


//create a service of ClusterIP to expose the pods on a particular port 

kubectl expose pod myredis --port=6379 --name=redis-service --dry-run=client -o yaml 


Cluster IP is used for internal communication between function providers to function consumers.

yaml file to create cluster ip

    - targetPort: 80

      port: 81

  selector:

    app: mybackendapp


NodePort

NodePort is a service running on a worker node which listens on a particular port on the node, and then forward the requests received on that port to one of matched pod. The client request must send to a particular pod's ip address and node port. 

The NodePort definition also defines the listening port on the matched pod using targetPort field.

yaml file to create service:

apiVersion: v1

kind: Service

metadata:

  name: myservice

spec:

  type: NodePort

  ports:

    - targetPort: 80  //listening port on the matched pods for handling external request

      port: 88  //service port number to be connected by pods or other services

      nodePort: 30008 //listening port on node for accepting external request

  selector:

    app: myapp  //label for marching pod


yaml file for creating matched pod:

apiVersion: v1

kind: Pod

metadata:

  creationTimestamp: null

  labels:

    app: myapp  //matching label for pods

  name: mytestpod

spec:

  containers:

  - image: nginx

    name: mytestpod


Client can send requests from anywhere to node's external ip address and Nodeport (30008) in order to access the pod's listening port 80.

External load balancer

Using external loadbalance with kubernetes can expose services to external with NodePort, the client request will be assigned to different NodePort port to spread the load balance.


Ingress (Internal loadbalancer)

Ingress within kubernetes receives the external requests and distribute the requests to different services' cluster IP based on ingress rule. It is preferred than external loadbalancer.
