## Setting up an IPv6 Lab using kube-centos-ansible | ||
|
||
This document covers a simple setup of using kube-centos-ansible for spinning up an IPv6 laboratory based in part by this [customized release of Kubernetes](https://github.com/leblancd/kubernetes/releases/tag/v1.9.0-alpha.1.ipv6.1b) created by [leblancd](https://github.com/leblancd) and automated herein by [fepan](https://github.com/fepan). | ||
|
||
In part this document assumes some other familiarity with these Ansible playbooks. In theory you should be able to spin up just an IPv6 lab without otherwise having experience with this playbook. However, some of the terminology may be glossed over. We often use the term "virthost" -- by which we mean a host that runs virtual machines. This technique is used often by the developers of this project in order to quickly iterate on these playbooks. These instructions assume using a virthost, however, it's likely you could complete a deployment on baremetal, or on an IaaS. | ||
|
||
## Limitations | ||
|
||
Currently, this setup makes it possible to `ping6` one pod from another. We look forward to using this laboratory to explore the other possibilities and scenarios herein, however this pod-to-pod `ping6` is the baseline functionality from which to start. | ||
|
||
## Requirements | ||
|
||
To run these playbooks, it's assumed that you have: | ||
|
||
* A machine for running Ansible (like your workstation) and [have Ansible installed](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro_installation.html). | ||
* Ansible 2.4 or later (necessary to support `get_url` with IPv6 enabled machines) | ||
* A host capable of running virtual machines, and is running CentOS 7. | ||
* A clone of this repository. | ||
|
||
This scenario disables the "bridged networking" feature we often use and instead uses NAT'ed libvirt virtual machines. | ||
|
||
You may have to disable GRO ([generic receive offload](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_receive_offload)) for the NICs on the virtualization host (if you're using one). | ||
|
||
An example of doing so is: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
ethtool -K em3 gro off | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Inventory and variable setup | ||
|
||
Firstly, let's look at an inventory and variable overrides to use. | ||
|
||
Here's the initially used inventory, which only really cares about the `virthost`. These examples place the inventory file @ `inventory/your.virthost.inventory`. You'll need to modify the location of the host to match your environment. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
the_virthost ansible_host=192.168.1.119 ansible_ssh_user=root | ||
[virthost] | ||
the_virthost | ||
``` | ||
|
||
And the overrides which are based on the examples @ `./inventory/examples/virthost/virthost-ipv6.inventory.yml`. In these examples this set of extra variables was created @ `./inventory/extravars.yml` (you may otherwise place it and use it in another fashion should you please): | ||
|
||
``` | ||
bridge_networking: false | ||
virtual_machines: | ||
- name: kube-master | ||
node_type: master | ||
- name: kube-node-1 | ||
node_type: nodes | ||
- name: kube-node-2 | ||
node_type: nodes | ||
- name: kube-nat64-dns64 | ||
node_type: other | ||
ipv6_enabled: true | ||
``` | ||
|
||
|
||
## Spinning up and access virtual machines | ||
|
||
Perform a run of the `virthost-setup.yml` playbook, using the previously mentioned extra variables for override, and an inventory which references the | ||
|
||
``` | ||
ansible-playbook -i inventory/your.virthost.inventory -e "@./inventory/extravars.yml" virthost-setup.yml | ||
``` | ||
|
||
This will produce an inventory file in the local clone of this repo @ `./inventory/vms.local.generated`. | ||
|
||
In the case that you're running Ansible from your workstation, and your virthost is another machine, you may need to SSH jump host from the virthost to the virtual machines. | ||
|
||
If that is the case, you may add to the bottom of `./inventory/vms.local.generated` a line similar to this (replacing `[email protected]` with the method you use to access the virtualization host): | ||
|
||
``` | ||
cat << EOF >> ./inventory/vms.local.generated | ||
ansible_ssh_common_args='-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p [email protected]"' | ||
EOF | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Optional: Handy-dandy "ssh to your virtual machines script" | ||
|
||
You may wish to log into to the machines in order to debug, or even more likely -- to access the Kubernetes master after an install. | ||
|
||
You may wish to create a script, in this example... This script is located at `~/jumphost.sh` and you should change `192.168.1.119` to the hostname or IP address of your `virthost`. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
# !/bin/bash | ||
ssh -i ~/.ssh/the_virthost/id_vm_rsa -o ProxyCommand="ssh [email protected] nc $1 22" centos@$1 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
You would use this script by calling it with `~/jumphost.sh yourhost.local` where the first parameter to the script is the hostname or IP address of the virtual machine you wish to acess. | ||
|
||
Here's an example of using it to access the kubernetes master by pulling the IP address from the generated inventory: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
$ ~/jumphost.sh $(cat inventory/vms.local.generated | grep "kube-master.ansible" | cut -d"=" -f 2) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Deploy a Kubernetes cluster | ||
|
||
With the above in place, we can now perform a kube install, and use the locally generated inventory. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
ansible-playbook -i inventory/vms.local.generated -e "@./inventory/extravars.yml" kube-install.yml | ||
``` | ||
|
||
You now should SSH to the master, and if you please, check out the status of the cluster with `kubectl get nodes` and/or `kubectl cluster-info`. | ||
|
||
We'll now create a couple pods via a ReplicationController. Create a YAML resource definition like so: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
[centos@kube-master ~]$ cat debug.yaml | ||
apiVersion: v1 | ||
kind: ReplicationController | ||
metadata: | ||
name: debugging | ||
spec: | ||
replicas: 2 | ||
selector: | ||
app: debugging | ||
template: | ||
metadata: | ||
name: debugging | ||
labels: | ||
app: debugging | ||
spec: | ||
containers: | ||
- name: debugging | ||
command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "sleep 2000000000000"] | ||
image: dougbtv/centos-network-advanced | ||
ports: | ||
- containerPort: 80 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Create the pods with `kubectl` by issuing: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
$ kubectl create -f debug.yaml | ||
``` | ||
|
||
You may then wish to watch the pods come up: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
[centos@kube-master ~]$ watch -n1 kubectl get pods -o wide | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Once those pods are fully running, list them, and take a look at the IP addresses, like so: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
[centos@kube-master ~]$ kubectl get pods -o wide | ||
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE | ||
debugging-cvbb2 1/1 Running 0 4m fd00:101::2 kube-node-1 | ||
debugging-gw8xt 1/1 Running 0 4m fd00:102::2 kube-node-2 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Now you can exec commands in one of them, to ping the other: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
[centos@kube-master ~]$ kubectl exec -it debugging-cvbb2 -- /bin/bash -c 'ping6 -c5 fd00:102::2' | ||
PING fd00:102::2(fd00:102::2) 56 data bytes | ||
64 bytes from fd00:102::2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=62 time=0.845 ms | ||
64 bytes from fd00:102::2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=62 time=0.508 ms | ||
64 bytes from fd00:102::2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=62 time=0.562 ms | ||
64 bytes from fd00:102::2: icmp_seq=4 ttl=62 time=0.357 ms | ||
64 bytes from fd00:102::2: icmp_seq=5 ttl=62 time=0.555 ms | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Finally pat yourself on the back and enjoy some IPv6 goodness. |
