⁠Kubernetes Cloud Control Manager for 1and1

oneandone-cloud-controller-manager is the Kubernetes cloud controller manager implementation for 1and1. Read more about cloud controller managers here⁠. Running oneandone-cloud-controller-manager allows you to leverage the cloud provider features offered by 1and1 on your kubernetes clusters.

WARNING: this project is a work in progress. Still TODO:

• better test coverage
• investigate startup warnings

⁠Setup and Installation

⁠Version

These are the recommended cloud controller manager versions based on your Kubernetes version:

⁠Preparing Your Cluster

Node names or public IP addresses must match servers in your cloud panel. If node names do not match, use one of these options:

• Add the label stackpoint.io/instance_id to all nodes in your cluster. The label's value must be the server name.
• Set the --hostname-override flag on the kubelet on all nodes in your cluster.

Your cluster should be configured to use an external cloud-provider to take full advantage of this manager. Without this only the loadbalancing provisioning will work.

Enable the external cloud provider by setting the --cloud-provider=external flag on the kubelet on all nodes in your cluster.

WARNING: setting --cloud-provider=external will taint all nodes in a cluster with node.cloudprovider.kubernetes.io/uninitialized. It is the responsibility of a cloud controller manager to untaint those nodes once it has finished initializing them. This means that most pods will be left unschedulable until the cloud controller manager is running.

Depending on how kube-proxy is run you may need the following:

• Ensure that kube-proxy tolerates the uninitialised cloud taint. The following should appear in the kube-proxy pod yaml:

- effect: NoSchedule
  key: node.cloudprovider.kubernetes.io/uninitialized
  value: "true"

If your cluster was created using kubeadm >= v1.7.2 this toleration may already be applied. See [kubernetes/kubernetes#49017][5] for details.

If you are running flannel, ensure that kube-flannel tolerates the uninitialised cloud taint:

• The following should appear in the kube-flannel daemonset:

- effect: NoSchedule
  key: node.cloudprovider.kubernetes.io/uninitialized
  value: "true"

Remember to restart any components that you have reconfigured before continuing.

⁠Authentication and Configuration

The 1&1 Cloud Controller Manager requires a cloud panel API token and the datacenter code stored in the following environment variables:

• ONEANDONE_API_KEY
• ONEANDONE_INSTANCE_REGION

The default manifest is configured to set these environment variables from a secret named oneandone:

kubectl -n kube-system create secret generic oneandone --from-literal=token=<TOKEN> --from-literal=credentials-datacenter=GB

⁠Installation - with RBAC

kubectl apply -f manifests/oneandone-ccm-rbac.yaml

kubectl apply -f manifests/oneandone-ccm.yaml

⁠Installation - without RBAC

kubectl apply -f manifests/oneandone-ccm.yaml

⁠Testing

⁠End-To-End Tests

NOTE: the end-to-end tests create cloud panel resources which you may be billed for. You will need an API key for cloud panel. The resources created are:

• 1 x L virtual server
• 2 x M virtual servers
• 1 x firewall
• 1 x private network

If you have ansible, terraform and kubectl installed you can run the tests directly:

export ONEANDONE_API_KEY=xxx
go test -c ./test/e2e
./e2e.test -test.v -test.timeout 30m -kubever v1.10.5

If you need to clean up any left over cloud panel resources, you can use terraform directly:

cd ./test/e2e/terraform
terraform destroy -var provider_token=xxx

There is also a Dockerfile which can be used to build an image capable of running the tests:

docker build -t ccme2e -f Dockerfile-e2e .
docker run -e ONEANDONE_API_KEY=xxx -e K8S_VERSION=v1.10.5 --rm ccme2e

⁠TODO

The end-to-end tests need to be expanded to include:

• Joining a node after the cluster is up and running: the new node should be initialised
• Deleting a node in cloud panel: the node should be removed from the cluster
• Joining a node: the new node should be added to all loadbalancers
• Updating a service: the loadbalancer should be updated
• Deleting a service: the loadbalancer should be deleted
• Parameterise CCM version so different CCMs can be e2e tested
