Features

What works

• Creation of worker nodes on AWS, Digitalocean, Openstack, Azure and Hetzner cloud
• Using Ubuntu, CoreOS/RedHat ContainerLinux or CentOS 7 distributions

What does not work

• Master creation (Not planned at the moment)

Quickstart

Deploy the machine-controller

make deploy

Creating a machineDeployment

# edit examples/$cloudprovider-machinedeployment.yaml & create the machineDeployment
kubectl create -f examples/$cloudprovider-machinedeployment.yaml

Advanced usage

Specifying the apiserver endpoint

By default the controller looks for a cluster-info ConfigMap within the kube-public Namespace. If one is found which contains a minimal kubeconfig (kubeadm cluster have them by default), this kubeconfig will be used for the node bootstrapping. The kubeconfig only needs to contain two things:

• CA-Data
• The public endpoint for the Apiserver

If no ConfigMap can be found:

CA-data

The CA will be loaded from the passed kubeconfig when running outside the cluster or from /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/ca.crt when running inside the cluster.

Apiserver endpoint

The first endpoint from the kubernetes endpoints will be taken. kubectl get endpoints kubernetes -o yaml

Development

Testing

Unittests

Simply run make test-unit

End-to-End

This project provides easy to use e2e testing using Hetzner cloud. To run the e2e tests locally, the following steps are required:

• Populate the environment variable HZ_TOKEN with a valid Hetzner cloud token
• Run make e2e-cluster to get a simple kubeadm cluster on Hetzner
• Run hack/run-machine-controller.sh to locally run the machine-controller for your freshly created cluster

Now you can either

• Run the tests for all providers via go test -race -tags=e2e -parallel 240 -v -timeout 30m ./test/e2e/... -identifier $USER
• Check test/e2e/provisioning/all_e2e_test.go for the available tests, then run only a specific one via go test -race -tags=e2e -parallel 24 -v -timeout 20m ./test/e2e/... -identifier $USER -run $TESTNAME

Note: All e2e tests require corresponding credentials to be present, check test/e2e/provisioning/all_e2e_test.go for details

Note: After finishing testing, please clean up after yourself:

• Execute ./test/tools/integration/cleanup_machines.sh while the machine-controller is still running
• Execute make e2e-destroy to clean up the test control plane

You can also insert your ssh key into the created instances by editing the manifests in test/e2e/provisioning/testdata/
