Kubernetes Clusters

Requirements

  • Agent installation is required for Master and Worker Nodes. Refer to Morpheus Agent section for additional information.

  • Access to Cloud Front, Image copy access and permissions for System and Uploaded Images used in Cluster Layouts

    Image(s) used in Cluster Layouts must either exist in destination cloud/resource or be able to be copied to destination by Morpheus, typically applicable for non-public clouds. For the initial provision, Morpheus System Images are streamed from Cloud Front through Morpheus to target destination. Subsequent provisions clone the local Image.

  • System Kubernetes Layouts require Master and Worker nodes to access to the following over 443 during K8s install and configuration:

  • Morpheus Role permission Infrastructure: Clusters > Full required for Viewing, Creating, Editing and Deleting Clusters.

  • Morpheus Role permission Infrastructure: Clusters > Read required for Viewing Cluster list and detail pages.

Creating Kubernetes Clusters

Provisions a new Kubernetes Cluster in selected target Cloud using selected Layout.

System (Morpheus provided) Kubernetes Layouts at time of v6.2.7 release. Note: AKS & GKE Kubernetes versions will dynamically update to the providers supported versions.

Note

When deploying a highly-available Kubernetes cluster, it’s important to note that Morpheus does not currently auto-deploy a load balancer. Additionally, when Morpheus runs the kubeadm init command in the background during cluster provisioning, it also sets the --control-plane-endpoint flag to the first control plane node. This is a hard-coded behavior. To accomplish a highly-available cluster, users may wish to update the configured control plane endpoint, such as to a DNS name pointing to a load balancer. We are currently investigating updates to the product that would allow the user to specify such a DNS name prior to kicking off cluster provisioning. Additionally, users can circumvent this issue by configuring and deploying their own custom Cluster Layouts.

    • The Master Node(s) will provision first.

    • Upon successful completion of VM provision, Kubernetes scripts will be executed to install and configure Kubernetes on the Masters.

      Note

      Access to the sites listed in the Requirements section is required from Master and Worker nodes over 443

    • After Master or Masters are successfully provisioned and Kubernetes is successfully installed and configured, the Worker Nodes will provision in parallel.

    • Provision status can be viewed:

      • From the Status next to the Cluster in Infrastructure > Clusters

      • Status bar with eta and current step available on Cluster detail page, accessible by selecting the Cluster name from Infrastructure > Clusters

    • All process status and history is available - From the Cluster detail page History tab, accessible by selecting the Cluster name from Infrastructure > Clusters and the History tab - From Operations - Activity - History - Individual process output available by clicking i on target process

  13. Once all Master and Worker Nodes are successfully provisioned and Kubernetes is installed and configured, the Cluster status will turn green.

    Important

    Cluster provisioning requires successful creation of VMs, Agent Installation, and execution of Kubernetes workflows. Consult process output from ``Infrastructure > Clusters - Details and morpheus-ui current logs at Administration - Health - Morpheus Logs for information on failed Clusters.

Note

Ensure there is a default StorageClass available when using a Morpheus Kubernetes cluster with OpenEBS so that Kubernetes specs or HELM templates that use a default StorageClass for Persistent Volume Claims can be utilised.

Kubernetes Cluster Detail Pages

The Kubernetes Cluster Detail page provides a high degree of monitoring and control over Kubernetes Clusters. This includes monitoring of all nodes in the Cluster, kubectl command line, account and role control, workload management, and more. The upper section of the page (which is persistent regardless of the currently-selected tab) provides high level costing and monitoring information, including a current aggregate metric for the CPU, memory and storage use.

../../_images/clusterDetail.png

The upper section also includes the ACTIONS menu which includes the following functions:

  • REFRESH: Forces a routine sync of the cluster status

  • PERMISSIONS: View and edit the Group, Service Plan, and Tenant access permissions for the cluster

  • VIEW API TOKEN: Displays the API token for the cluster

  • VIEW KUBE CONFIG: Displays the cluster configuration

  • RUN WORKLOAD: Run deployments, stateful sets, daemon sets, or jobs and target them to a specific namespace

  • UPGRADE CLUSTER: Upgrade the cluster to a higher version of Kubernetes

  • ADD KUBERNETES WORKER: Launches a wizard which allows users to configure a new worker for the cluster

Additional monitoring and control panes are located within tabs, some of which contain subtabs.

The summary tab contains high-level details on health and makeup of the cluster.

Adding External Kubernetes Clusters

Morpheus supports the management and consumption of Kubernetes clusters provisioned outside of Morpheus. These are referred to as External Kubernetes Clusters in Morpheus UI. This could be used, for example, to onboard and manage OpenShift clusters. In order to fully integrate the Kubernetes cluster with the Morpheus feature set, you may need to create a service account for Morpheus. Without first taking that step, some features may not work fully, such as listing all namespaces. The process for creating a service account and integrating the Cluster with Morpheus is described here.

First, create the Service Account within the Kubernetes cluster:

kubectl create serviceaccount morpheus

Next, create the Role Binding:

kubectl create clusterrolebinding morpheus-admin \
--clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=default:morpheus \
--namespace=default

With those items created, we can gather the API URL and the API token which will be used to add the existing cluster to Morpheus in the next step:

kubectl config view --minify | grep server | cut -f 2- -d ":" | tr -d " "

SECRET_NAME=$(kubectl get secrets | grep ^morpheus | cut -f1 -d ' ')
kubectl describe secret $SECRET_NAME | grep -E '^token' | cut -f2 -d':' | tr -d " "

After finishing those steps, we can now create the external cluster in Morpheus. Navigate to Infrastructure > Clusters. Click + ADD CLUSTER and then select “External Kubernetes Cluster”. Set the following fields, you will have to advance through the pages of the wizard to see all fields indicated:

  • GROUP: A previously created Morpheus Group

  • CLOUD: A previously-integrated Cloud

  • CLUSTER NAME: A friendly name for the onboarded cluster in Morpheus UI

  • RESOURCE NAME: The resource name will be pre-pended to Kubernetes hosts associated with this cluster when shown in Morpheus UI

  • LAYOUT: Set an associated Layout

  • API URL: Enter the API URL gathered in the previous step

  • API TOKEN: Enter the API Token gathered in the previous step

  • KUBE CONFIG: Enter Kubeconfig YAML to authenticate the cluster

The above are the required fields, others may be optionally configured depending on the situation. Complete the wizard and Morpheus will begin the process of onboarding the existing cluster into management within Morpheus UI. Once things are finalized and statuses are green, the cluster can be monitored and consumed as any other cluster provisioned from Morpheus.
