README.md

Kubernetes on AWS with Terraform

Overview:

This project will create:

  • VPC with Public and Private Subnets in # Availability Zones
  • Bastion Hosts and NAT Gateways in the Public Subnet
  • A dynamic number of masters, etcd, and worker nodes in the Private Subnet
  • even distributed over the # of Availability Zones
  • AWS ELB in the Public Subnet for accessing the Kubernetes API from the internet

Requirements

  • Terraform 0.8.7 or newer

How to Use:

  • Export the variables for your AWS credentials or edit credentials.tfvars:
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="www"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY ="xxx"
export AWS_SSH_KEY_NAME="yyy"
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="zzz"
  • Rename contrib/terraform/aws/terraform.tfvars.example to terraform.tfvars

  • Update contrib/terraform/aws/terraform.tfvars with your data. By default, the Terraform scripts use CoreOS as base image. If you want to change this behaviour, see note "Using other distrib than CoreOs" below.

  • Create an AWS EC2 SSH Key

  • Run with terraform apply --var-file="credentials.tfvars" or terraform apply depending if you exported your AWS credentials

Example:

terraform apply -var-file=credentials.tfvars
  • Terraform automatically creates an Ansible Inventory file called hosts with the created infrastructure in the directory inventory

  • Ansible will automatically generate an ssh config file for your bastion hosts. To connect to hosts with ssh using bastion host use generated ssh-bastion.conf. Ansible automatically detects bastion and changes ssh_args

ssh -F ./ssh-bastion.conf user@$ip
  • Once the infrastructure is created, you can run the kubespray playbooks and supply inventory/hosts with the -i flag.

Example (this one assumes you are using CoreOS)

ansible-playbook -i ./inventory/hosts ./cluster.yml -e ansible_user=core -e bootstrap_os=coreos -b --become-user=root --flush-cache

Using other distrib than CoreOs If you want to use another distribution than CoreOS, you can modify the search filters of the 'data "aws_ami" "distro"' in variables.tf.

For example, to use:

  • Debian Jessie, replace 'data "aws_ami" "distro"' in variables.tf with data "aws_ami" "distro" { most_recent = true

    filter { name = "name" values = ["debian-jessie-amd64-hvm-*"] }

    filter { name = "virtualization-type" values = ["hvm"] }

    owners = ["379101102735"] }

  • Ubuntu 16.04, replace 'data "aws_ami" "distro"' in variables.tf with data "aws_ami" "distro" { most_recent = true

    filter { name = "name" values = ["ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-*"] }

    filter { name = "virtualization-type" values = ["hvm"] }

    owners = ["099720109477"] }

  • Centos 7, replace 'data "aws_ami" "distro"' in variables.tf with data "aws_ami" "distro" { most_recent = true

    filter { name = "name" values = ["dcos-centos7-*"] }

    filter { name = "virtualization-type" values = ["hvm"] }

    owners = ["688023202711"] }

Troubleshooting

Remaining AWS IAM Instance Profile:

If the cluster was destroyed without using Terraform it is possible that the AWS IAM Instance Profiles still remain. To delete them you can use the AWS CLI with the following command:

aws iam delete-instance-profile --region <region_name> --instance-profile-name <profile_name>

Ansible Inventory doesnt get created:

It could happen that Terraform doesnt create an Ansible Inventory file automatically. If this is the case copy the output after inventory= and create a file named hostsin the directory inventory and paste the inventory into the file.
