What is OpenStack? What is Kubernetes? What is Docker?

In the OpenStack lab, the controller executes the function of partitioning resources. The compute nodes are the collection of resources (memory, CPUs, hard drive space) to be partitioned. When creating a VM with "X" memory, "Y" CPUs and "Z" hard drive space, OpenStack's controller reviews its pool of available resources, allocates the quota, and then creates the VM on one of the available compute nodes. Many VMs can be created on a single compute node. OpenStack's controller uses a lot of criteria to choose a compute node, but if an application spans multiple VMs, Affinity rules can be used to ensure the VMs don’t congregate on a single compute node. This would not be good for resilience.

...

Deployment Architecture

The Kubernetes deployment in this tutorial will be set up on top of OpenStack VMs. Let's call this the undercloud. undercloud can be physical boxes, or VMs. The VMs can come from different cloud providers, but in this tutorial we will use OpenStack. The following table shows the layers of software that need to be considered when thinking about resilience:

Configure Each VM 

Repeat the following steps on each VM:

Pre-Configure Each VM

Make sure the VMs are: 

  • Up to date
  • The clocks are synchonized 

...

Question: Did you check date on all K8S nodes to make sure they are in synch?

Install Docker

The ONAP apps are pakages in Docker containers.

Install the Kubernetes Pakages

Just install the pakages; there is no need to configure them yet.

...

Note: If you intend to remove kubernetes packages use  "apt autoremove kubelet; apt autoremove kubeadm;apt autoremove kubectl;apt autoremove kubernetes-cni" .

Configure the Kubernetes Cluster with kubeadm

kubeadm is a utility provided by Kubernetes which simplifies the process of configuring a Kubernetes cluster.  Details about how to use it can be found here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/create-cluster-kubeadm/.

Configure the Kubernetes Master Node (k8s-master)

The kubeadm init command sets up the Kubernetes master node. SSH to the k8s-master VM and invoke the following command. It is important to capture the output into a log file as there is information which you will need to refer to afterwards.

Your Kubernetes master has initialized successfully!

To start using your cluster, you need to run (as a regular user):

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

You should now deploy a pod network to the cluster.
Run "kubectl apply -f [podnetwork].yaml" with one of the options listed at:
  http://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/addons/

You can now join any number of machines by running the following on each node
as root:

  kubeadm join --token 2246a6.83b4c7ca38913ce1 10.147.114.12:6443 --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:ef25f42843927c334981621a1a3d299834802b2e2a962ae720640f74e361db2a

NOTE: the "kubeadm join .." command shows in the log of kubeadm init, should run in each VMs in the k8s cluster to perform a cluster, use "kubectl get nodes" to make sure all nodes are all joined.


Execute the following snippet (as ubuntu user) to get kubectl to work.

#(There will be 2 codedns pods with different IP addresses, with kubernetes version 1.10.1)

Troubleshooting tip: 

  • If any of the weave pods face a problem and gets stuck at "ImagePullBackOff " state, you can try running the " sudo kubectl apply -f "https://cloud.weave.works/k8s/net?k8s-version=$(kubectl version | base64 | tr -d '\n')" " again. 
  • Sometimes, you need to delete the problematic pod, to let it terminate and start fresh. Use "kubectl delete po/<pod-name> -n <name-space> " to delete a pod.
  • To "Unjoin" a worker node "kubectl delete node <node-name> (go through the "Undeploy APPC" process at the end if you have an APPC cluster running)

Install "make" ( Learn more about ubuntu-make here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-make

Install Helm and Tiller on the Kubernetes Master Node (k8s-master)

ONAP uses Helm, a package manager for kubernetes.

...

Code Block
languagebash
# Uninstalls Tiller from a cluster
helm reset --force
 
 
# Clean up any existing artifacts
kubectl -n kube-system delete deployment tiller-deploy
kubectl -n kube-system delete serviceaccount tiller
kubectl -n kube-system delete ClusterRoleBinding tiller-clusterrolebinding
 
 
kubectl create -f tiller-serviceaccount.yaml
 
#init helm
helm init --service-account tiller --upgrade

Configure the Kubernetes Worker Nodes (k8s-node<n>)

Setting up cluster nodes is very easy. Just refer back to the "kubeadm init" output logs (/root/kubeadm_init.log). In the last line of the the logs, there is a “kubeadm join” command with token information and other parameters.

...

Now you have a Kubernetes cluster with 3 worker nodes and 1 master node.

Cluster's Full Picture

You can run " kubectl describe node" on the Master node and get a complete report on nodes (including workers) and thier system resources.

Configure dockerdata-nfs

This is a shared directory which must be mounted on all of the Kuberenetes VMs(master node and worker nodes). Because many of the ONAP pods use this directory to share data.

See 3. Share the /dockerdata-nfs Folder between Kubernetes Nodes for instruction on how to set this up.


Configure ONAP

Clone OOM project only on Kuberentes Master Node

As ubuntu user, clone the oom repository. 

...

Code Block
$ vi oom/kubernetes/onap/values.yaml
 Example:
...
robot: # Robot Health Check
  enabled: true
sdc:
  enabled: false
appc:
  enabled: true
so: # Service Orchestrator
  enabled: false

Deploy APPC

To deploy only APPC, customize the parent chart to disable all components except APPC as shown in the file below. Also set the global.persistence.mountPath to some non-mounted directory (by default, it is set to mounted directory /dockerdata-nfs).
