Google Cloud + Kubernetes + Terraform + Ansible

Automated provisioning of kubernetes based off https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way

Why?

Why do this when Google Compute already provides this service? Mostly to learn a bit more about GCE, Kubernetes components and bootstrap that would be necassery in other enviro's like AWS.

Currently builds the following:

• GCE Network, Firewall rules, Instance pool etc..
• 3 x ETCD nodes in seperate AZ's - g1-small machine
• 3 x Controller/API nodes - g1-small
• 2 x Worker nodes (due to free account instance limit of 8) n1-standard-1

Requires the following:

• Terraform v7rc1 >
• Google Cloud SDK: gcloud, gsutil
• Functioning kubectl for your OS
• Ansible v2.0 >
• Fully functioning service account creds
• Unix tools: sed, wget
• cfssl, cfssljson

Usage

• Put google service creds in folder as account.json
• Make sure you are logged into gcloud
• You have an ssh key generated called "google_compute_1" in your ssh folder
• Make sure that key has been added to your project metadata

###Do the follwing in the root of the folder:

All os's:
mkdir creds
cp <YOUR GOOGLE SERVICE ACCOUNT CREDS JSON> creds/account.json

Edit terraform/vars.tf and terraform-routes/vars.tf:

variable "project" {
    type = "string"
    default = "<YOUR PROJECT ID>"
}

###OSX:

./setup-osx.sh

###Linux:

./setup-osx.sh

To teardown and cleanup OSX/Linux:

./destroy.sh

Debugging

All ansible roles are tagged so they can be run individually.

To display status of all running kube and etcd services, run this in the root of the folder:

export ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=False && ansible-playbook -i gcehosts site.yml --private-key ~/.ssh/google_compute_1 --tags debug

ToDo:

• Wrapper script
• Better SSL cert generation
• MD5 hash check on certs to reduce provisioning time.
• Better Anisible module seperation i.e move ssl to own role
• Remove debug output
• Update linux setup script Not tested yet
• Code Tidy
• Terraform state in GCS
• Better exposed variables
