Deploying External OpenStack Cloud Provider with Kubeadm

This document describes how to install a single control-plane Kubernetes cluster v1.15 with kubeadm on CentOS, and then deploy an external OpenStack cloud provider and Cinder CSI plugin to use Cinder volumes as persistent volumes in Kubernetes.

Preparation in OpenStack

This cluster runs on OpenStack VMs, so let's create a few things in OpenStack first.

  • A project/tenant for this Kubernetes cluster
  • A user in this project for Kubernetes, to query node information and attach volumes etc
  • A private network and subnet
  • A router for this private network and connect it to a public network for floating IPs
  • A security group for all Kubernetes VMs
  • A VM as a control-plane node and a few VMs as worker nodes

The security group will have the following rules to open ports for Kubernetes.

Control-Plane Node

ProtocolPort NumberDescription
TCP6443Kubernetes API Server
TCP2379-2380etcd server client API
TCP10250Kubelet API
TCP10251kube-scheduler
TCP10252kube-controller-manager
TCP10255Read-only Kubelet API

Worker Nodes

ProtocolPort NumberDescription
TCP10250Kubelet API
TCP10255Read-only Kubelet API
TCP30000-32767NodePort Services

CNI ports on both control-plane and worker nodes

ProtocolPort NumberDescription
TCP179Calico BGP network
TCP9099Calico felix (health check)
UDP8285Flannel
UDP8472Flannel
TCP6781-6784Weave Net
UDP6783-6784Weave Net

CNI specific ports are only required to be opened when that particular CNI plugin is used. In this guide, we will use Weave Net. Only the Weave Net ports (TCP 6781-6784 and UDP 6783-6784), will need to be opened in the security group.

The control-plane node needs at least 2 cores and 4GB RAM. After the VM is launched, verify its hostname and make sure it is the same as the node name in Nova. If the hostname is not resolvable, add it to /etc/hosts.

For example, if the VM is called master1, and it has an internal IP 192.168.1.4. Add that to /etc/hosts and set hostname to master1.

echo "192.168.1.4 master1" >> /etc/hosts

hostnamectl set-hostname master1

Install Docker and Kubernetes

Next, we'll follow the official documents to install docker and Kubernetes using kubeadm.

Install Docker following the steps from the container runtime documentation.

Note that it is a best practice to use systemd as the cgroup driver for Kubernetes. If you use an internal container registry, add them to the docker config.

# Install Docker CE
## Set up the repository
### Install required packages.

yum install yum-utils device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2

### Add Docker repository.

yum-config-manager \
  --add-repo \
  https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo

## Install Docker CE.

yum update && yum install docker-ce-18.06.2.ce

## Create /etc/docker directory.

mkdir /etc/docker

# Configure the Docker daemon

cat > /etc/docker/daemon.json <<EOF
{
  "exec-opts": ["native.cgroupdriver=systemd"],
  "log-driver": "json-file",

  },
  "storage-driver": "overlay2",
  "storage-opts": [

  ]
}
EOF

mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d

# Restart Docker
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart docker
systemctl enable docker

Install kubeadm following the steps from the Installing Kubeadm documentation.

cat <<EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/kubernetes.repo

The official document about how to create a single control-plane cluster can be found from the Creating a single control-plane cluster with kubeadm documentation.

We'll largely follow that document but also add additional things for the cloud provider. To make things more clear, we'll use a kubeadm-config.yml for the control-plane node. In this config we specify to use an external OpenStack cloud provider, and where to find its config. We also enable storage API in API server's runtime config so we can use OpenStack volumes as persistent volumes in Kubernetes.

apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: InitConfiguration
nodeRegistration:
  kubeletExtraArgs:
    cloud-provider: "external"
---
apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta2
kind: ClusterConfiguration
kubernetesVersion: "v1.15.1"
apiServer:
  extraArgs:
    enable-admission-plugins: NodeRestriction
    runtime-config: "storage.k8s.io/v1=true"
controllerManager:
  extraArgs:
    external-cloud-volume-plugin: openstack
  extraVolumes:
  - name: "cloud-config"
    hostPath: "/etc/kubernetes/cloud-config"
    mountPath: "/etc/kubernetes/cloud-config"
    readOnly: true
    pathType: File
networking:
  serviceSubnet: "10.96.0.0/12"
  podSubnet: "10.224.0.0/16"
  dnsDomain: "cluster.local"

Now we'll create the cloud config, /etc/kubernetes/cloud-config, for OpenStack. Note that the tenant here is the one we created for all Kubernetes VMs in the beginning. All VMs should be launched in this project/tenant. In addition you need to create a user in this tenant for Kubernetes to do queries. The ca-file is the CA root certificate for OpenStack's API endpoint, for example https://openstack.cloud:5000/v3 At the time of writing the cloud provider doesn't allow insecure connections (skip CA check).

[Global]
region=RegionOne
username=username
password=password
auth-url=https://openstack.cloud:5000/v3
tenant-id=14ba698c0aec4fd6b7dc8c310f664009
domain-id=default
ca-file=/etc/kubernetes/ca.pem

[LoadBalancer]

floating-network-id=bc8a590a-5d65-4525-98f3-f7ef29c727d5

[BlockStorage]
bs-version=v2

[Networking]
public-network-name=public
ipv6-support-disabled=false

Next run kubeadm to initiate the control-plane node

kubeadm init --config=kubeadm-config.yml

With the initialization completed, copy admin config to .kube

  mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
  sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
  sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config

At this stage, the control-plane node is created but not ready. All the nodes have the taint node.cloudprovider.kubernetes.io/uninitialized=true:NoSchedule and are waiting to be initialized by the cloud-controller-manager.

# kubectl describe no master1
Name:               master1
Roles:              master
......
Taints:             node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule
                    node.cloudprovider.kubernetes.io/uninitialized=true:NoSchedule
                    node.kubernetes.io/not-ready:NoSchedule
......

Now deploy the OpenStack cloud controller manager into the cluster, following using controller manager with kubeadm.

Create a secret with the cloud-config for the openstack cloud provider.

kubectl create secret -n kube-system generic cloud-config --from-literal=cloud.conf="$(cat /etc/kubernetes/cloud-config)" --dry-run -o yaml > cloud-config-secret.yaml
kubectl apply -f cloud-config-secret.yaml 

Get the CA certificate for OpenStack API endpoints and put that into /etc/kubernetes/ca.pem.

Create RBAC resources.

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-openstack/raw/release-1.15/cluster/addons/rbac/cloud-controller-manager-roles.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-openstack/raw/release-1.15/cluster/addons/rbac/cloud-controller-manager-role-bindings.yaml

We'll run the OpenStack cloud controller manager as a DaemonSet rather than a pod. The manager will only run on the control-plane node, so if there are multiple control-plane nodes, multiple pods will be run for high availability. Create openstack-cloud-controller-manager-ds.yaml containing the following manifests, then apply it.

            - --use-service-account-credentials=true
            - --address=127.0.0.1
          volumeMounts:
            - mountPath: /etc/kubernetes/pki
              name: k8s-certs
              readOnly: true
            - mountPath: /etc/ssl/certs
              name: ca-certs
              readOnly: true
            - mountPath: /etc/config

              readOnly: true
            - mountPath: /usr/libexec/kubernetes/kubelet-plugins/volume/exec
              name: flexvolume-dir
            - mountPath: /etc/kubernetes
              name: ca-cert
              readOnly: true
          resources:
            requests:
              cpu: 200m
          env:
            - name: CLOUD_CONFIG
              value: /etc/config/cloud.conf
      hostNetwork: true
      volumes:
      - hostPath:
          path: /usr/libexec/kubernetes/kubelet-plugins/volume/exec
          type: DirectoryOrCreate
        name: flexvolume-dir
      - hostPath:
          path: /etc/kubernetes/pki
          type: DirectoryOrCreate
        name: k8s-certs
      - hostPath:
          path: /etc/ssl/certs
          type: DirectoryOrCreate
        name: ca-certs
      - name: cloud-config-volume
        secret:
          secretName: cloud-config
      - name: ca-cert
        secret:
          secretName: openstack-ca-cert

When the controller manager is running, it will query OpenStack to get information about the nodes and remove the taint. In the node info you'll see the VM's UUID in OpenStack.

# kubectl describe no master1
Name:               master1
Roles:              master
......
Taints:             node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule
                    node.kubernetes.io/not-ready:NoSchedule
......
sage:docker: network plugin is not ready: cni config uninitialized
......
PodCIDR:                     10.224.0.0/24
ProviderID:                  openstack:///548e3c46-2477-4ce2-968b-3de1314560a5

Now install your favourite CNI and the control-plane node will become ready.

For example, to install Weave Net, run this command:

kubectl apply -f "https://cloud.weave.works/k8s/net?k8s-version=$(kubectl version | base64 | tr -d '\n')"

Next we'll set up worker nodes.

Firstly, install docker and kubeadm in the same way as how they were installed in the control-plane node. To join them to the cluster we need a token and ca cert hash from the output of control-plane node installation. If it is expired or lost we can recreate it using these commands.

# check if token is expired
kubeadm token list

# re-create token and show join command
kubeadm token create --print-join-command

Create kubeadm-config.yml for worker nodes with the above token and ca cert hash.

apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta2
discovery:
  bootstrapToken:
    apiServerEndpoint: 192.168.1.7:6443
    token: 0c0z4p.dnafh6vnmouus569
    caCertHashes: ["sha256:fcb3e956a6880c05fc9d09714424b827f57a6fdc8afc44497180905946527adf"]
kind: JoinConfiguration
nodeRegistration:
  kubeletExtraArgs:
    cloud-provider: "external"

apiServerEndpoint is the control-plane node, token and caCertHashes can be taken from the join command printed in the output of 'kubeadm token create' command.

Run kubeadm and the worker nodes will be joined to the cluster.

kubeadm join  --config kubeadm-config.yml 

At this stage we'll have a working Kubernetes cluster with an external OpenStack cloud provider. The provider tells Kubernetes about the mapping between Kubernetes nodes and OpenStack VMs. If Kubernetes wants to attach a persistent volume to a pod, it can find out which OpenStack VM the pod is running on from the mapping, and attach the underlying OpenStack volume to the VM accordingly.

Deploy Cinder CSI

The integration with Cinder is provided by an external Cinder CSI plugin, as described in the Cinder CSI documentation.

We'll perform the following steps to install the Cinder CSI plugin. Firstly, create a secret with CA certs for OpenStack's API endpoints. It is the same cert file as what we use in cloud provider above.

kubectl create secret -n kube-system generic openstack-ca-cert --from-literal=ca.pem="$(cat /etc/kubernetes/ca.pem)" --dry-run -o yaml > openstack-ca-cert.yaml
kubectl apply -f openstack-ca-cert.yaml

Then create RBAC resources.

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-openstack/release-1.15/manifests/cinder-csi-plugin/cinder-csi-controllerplugin-rbac.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-openstack/raw/release-1.15/manifests/cinder-csi-plugin/cinder-csi-nodeplugin-rbac.yaml

The Cinder CSI plugin includes a controller plugin and a node plugin. The controller communicates with Kubernetes APIs and Cinder APIs to create/attach/detach/delete Cinder volumes. The node plugin in-turn runs on each worker node to bind a storage device (attached volume) to a pod, and unbind it during deletion. Create cinder-csi-controllerplugin.yaml and apply it to create csi controller.

When they are both running, create a storage class for Cinder.

apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
  name: csi-sc-cinderplugin
provisioner: csi-cinderplugin

Then we can create a PVC with this class.

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: myvol
spec:
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 1Gi
  storageClassName: csi-sc-cinderplugin

When the PVC is created, a Cinder volume is created correspondingly.

# kubectl get pvc
NAME    STATUS   VOLUME                                     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS          AGE
myvol   Bound    pvc-14b8bc68-6c4c-4dc6-ad79-4cb29a81faad   1Gi        RWO            csi-sc-cinderplugin   3s

In OpenStack the volume name will match the Kubernetes persistent volume generated name. In this example it would be: pvc-14b8bc68-6c4c-4dc6-ad79-4cb29a81faad

Now we can create a pod with the PVC.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: web
spec:
  containers:
    - name: web
      image: nginx
      ports:
        - name: web
          containerPort: 80
          hostPort: 8081
          protocol: TCP
      volumeMounts:
        - mountPath: "/usr/share/nginx/html"
          name: mypd
  volumes:
    - name: mypd
      persistentVolumeClaim:
        claimName: myvol

When the pod is running, the volume will be attached to the pod. If we go back to OpenStack, we can see the Cinder volume is mounted to the worker node where the pod is running on.
