Large deployments of K8s

For a large scaled deployments, consider the following configuration changes:

  • Tune ansible settings for forks and timeout vars to fit large numbers of nodes being deployed.

  • Override containers' foo_image_repo vars to point to intranet registry.

  • Override the download_run_once: true to download binaries and container images only once then push to nodes in batches.

  • Adjust the retry_stagger global var as appropriate. It should provide sane load on a delegate (the first K8s master node) then retrying failed push or download operations.

For example, when deploying 200 nodes, you may want to run ansible with --forks=50, --timeout=600 and define the retry_stagger: 60.
