Kube-tools

Kube-tools is the source code project of a futur package including some tools to create a kubernetes cluster with few commands only:

• kc : kube controller - a script to pilot deployments on one more hosts. It connect the target nodes using ssh to run the sequence of commands including package installation and os tuning...
• km : kube master - a script to deploy a kubernetes master on an host (can be called manually or by kc).
• kw : kube worker - a script to deploy a kubernetes worker on an host (can be called manually or by kc).
• klb : kube load balancer - a script to deploy a load balancer on an host (can be called manually or by kc).

The kube controller need a package not including by default in distribution, to install it, run the following commands with sudo level:

apt install jq -y

Warning: this code source is distributed as example and should not be used in production. It does not protect agains code injection by example.

/!\ Last version of kubernetes will be installed byu default.

kc - Kube controller

The kube controller pilot the scripts deployed on the differents hosts to deploy and configure the kubernetes cluster from a json description file.

Please note version upgrades is not yet supported.

network-type [OPTIONNAL]: the internal kubernetes network type (example: flannel).

The current version only support flannel.

load-balancer > type [OPTIONNAL].

The current version only support nginx.

load-balancer > servers > server [OPTIONNAL] : IP or DNS name of an host to be used as load balancer.

master > servers > server [MANDATORY] : IP or DNS name of an host to be used as master node.

workers > servers > server [OPTIONNAL] : IP or DNS name of an host to be used as worker node.

Command

Usage: kc --dry|--apply|--status|--kubeconfig|--version|--help [--user ] [--password ] [--ssh-key ssh-key-file] --config Configuration-file

Options (exclusives)

• --dry: Run configuration without applying.
