Bootstrapping the Kubernetes Worker Nodes

In this lab you will bootstrap three Kubernetes worker nodes. The following components will be installed on each node: runc, container networking plugins, containerd, kubelet, and kube-proxy.

Prerequisites

The commands in this lab must be run on each worker instance: worker-0, worker-1, and worker-2. Login to each worker instance using the gcloud command. Example:

gcloud compute ssh worker-0

Running commands in parallel with tmux

tmux can be used to run commands on multiple compute instances at the same time. See the Running commands in parallel with tmux section in the Prerequisites lab.

Provisioning a Kubernetes Worker Node

Install the OS dependencies:

{
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get -y install socat conntrack ipset
}

The socat binary enables support for the kubectl port-forward command.

Disable Swap

By default the kubelet will fail to start if swap is enabled. It is recommended that swap be disabled to ensure Kubernetes can provide proper resource allocation and quality of service.

Verify if swap is enabled:

sudo swapon --show

If output is empthy then swap is not enabled. If swap is enabled run the following command to disable swap immediately:

sudo swapoff -a

To ensure swap remains off after reboot consult your Linux distro documentation.

Create the installation directories:

sudo mkdir -p \
  /etc/cni/net.d \
  /opt/cni/bin \
  /var/lib/kubelet \
  /var/lib/kube-proxy \
  /var/lib/kubernetes \
  /var/run/kubernetes

Install the worker binaries:

{
  mkdir containerd
  tar -xvf crictl-v1.21.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz
  tar -xvf containerd-1.4.4-linux-amd64.tar.gz -C containerd
  sudo tar -xvf cni-plugins-linux-amd64-v0.9.1.tgz -C /opt/cni/bin/
  sudo mv runc.amd64 runc
  chmod +x crictl kubectl kube-proxy kubelet runc 
  sudo mv crictl kubectl kube-proxy kubelet runc /usr/local/bin/
  sudo mv containerd/bin/* /bin/
}

Configure CNI Networking

Retrieve the Pod CIDR range for the current compute instance:

POD_CIDR=$(curl -s -H "Metadata-Flavor: Google" \
  http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/attributes/pod-cidr)

Create the bridge network configuration file:

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/cni/net.d/10-bridge.conf
{
    "cniVersion": "0.4.0",
    "name": "bridge",
    "type": "bridge",
    "bridge": "cnio0",
    "isGateway": true,
    "ipMasq": true,
    "ipam": {
        "type": "host-local",
        "ranges": [
          [{"subnet": "${POD_CIDR}"}]
        ],
        "routes": [{"dst": "0.0.0.0/0"}]
    }
}
EOF

Create the loopback network configuration file:

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/cni/net.d/99-loopback.conf
{
    "cniVersion": "0.4.0",
    "name": "lo",
    "type": "loopback"
}
EOF

Configure containerd

Create the containerd configuration file:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/containerd/

cat << EOF | sudo tee /etc/containerd/config.toml
[plugins]
  [plugins.cri.containerd]
    snapshotter = "overlayfs"
    [plugins.cri.containerd.default_runtime]
      runtime_type = "io.containerd.runtime.v1.linux"
      runtime_engine = "/usr/local/bin/runc"
      runtime_root = ""
EOF

Create the containerd.service systemd unit file:

Configure the Kubelet

{
  sudo mv ${HOSTNAME}-key.pem ${HOSTNAME}.pem /var/lib/kubelet/
  sudo mv ${HOSTNAME}.kubeconfig /var/lib/kubelet/kubeconfig
  sudo mv ca.pem /var/lib/kubernetes/
}

Create the kubelet-config.yaml configuration file:

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /var/lib/kubelet/kubelet-config.yaml
kind: KubeletConfiguration
apiVersion: kubelet.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
authentication:
  anonymous:

runtimeRequestTimeout: "15m"
tlsCertFile: "/var/lib/kubelet/${HOSTNAME}.pem"

Start the Worker Services

{
  sudo systemctl daemon-reload
  sudo systemctl enable containerd kubelet kube-proxy
  sudo systemctl start containerd kubelet kube-proxy
}

Remember to run the above commands on each worker node: worker-0, worker-1, and worker-2.

Verification

The compute instances created in this tutorial will not have permission to complete this section. Run the following commands from the same machine used to create the compute instances.

List the registered Kubernetes nodes:

gcloud compute ssh controller-0 \
  --command "kubectl get nodes --kubeconfig admin.kubeconfig"

output

NAME       STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION
worker-0   Ready    <none>   22s   v1.21.0
worker-1   Ready    <none>   22s   v1.21.0
worker-2   Ready    <none>   22s   v1.21.0
