Installation by Binary

Step-by-step installation of binary high-availability karmada cluster.

Prerequisites

Server

3 servers required. E.g.

  1. +---------------+-----------------+-----------------+
  2. |   HostName    |      Host IP    |    Public IP    |
  3. +---------------+-----------------+-----------------+
  4. |  karmada-01   |  172.31.209.245 |  47.242.88.82   |
  5. +---------------+-----------------+-----------------+
  6. |  karmada-02   |  172.31.209.246 |                 |
  7. +---------------+-----------------+-----------------+
  8. |  karmada-03   |  172.31.209.247 |                 |
  9. +---------------+-----------------+-----------------+

Public IP is not required. It is used to download some karmada dependent components from the public network and connect to karmada ApiServer through the public network

DNS Resolution

Execute operations at karmada-01 karmada-02 karmada-03.

  1. vi /etc/hosts
  2. 172.31.209.245  karmada-01
  3. 172.31.209.246  karmada-02
  4. 172.31.209.247  karmada-03

Alternatively, you can use “Linux Virtual Server” for load balancing, and don’t change /etc/hosts file.

Environment

karmada-01 requires the following environment.

Golang: Compile the karmada binary GCC: Compile nginx (ignore if using cloud load balancing)

Compile and Download Binaries

Execute operations at karmada-01.

Kubernetes Binaries

Download the kubernetes binary package.

Refer to this page to download binaries of different versions and architectures: https://kubernetes.io/releases/download/#binaries

  1. wget https://dl.k8s.io/v1.23.3/kubernetes-server-linux-amd64.tar.gz
  2. tar -zxvf kubernetes-server-linux-amd64.tar.gz --no-same-owner
  3. cd kubernetes/server/bin
  4. mv kube-apiserver kube-controller-manager kubectl /usr/local/sbin/

etcd Binaries

Download the etcd binary package.

You may want to use a newer version of etcd, please refer to this page: https://etcd.io/docs/latest/install/

  1. wget https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/releases/download/v3.5.1/etcd-v3.5.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
  2. tar -zxvf etcd-v3.5.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz --no-same-owner
  3. cd etcd-v3.5.1-linux-amd64/
  4. mv etcdctl etcd /usr/local/sbin/

Karmada Binaries

Compile the karmada binaries from source.

  1. git clone https://github.com/karmada-io/karmada
  2. cd karmada
  3. make karmada-aggregated-apiserver karmada-controller-manager karmada-scheduler karmada-webhook karmadactl kubectl-karmada
  4. mv _output/bin/linux/amd64/* /usr/local/sbin/

Nginx Binaries

Compile the nginx binary from source.

  1. wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.21.6.tar.gz
  2. tar -zxvf nginx-1.21.6.tar.gz
  3. cd nginx-1.21.6
  4. ./configure --with-stream --without-http --prefix=/usr/local/karmada-nginx --without-http_uwsgi_module --without-http_scgi_module --without-http_fastcgi_module
  5. make && make install
  6. mv /usr/local/karmada-nginx/sbin/nginx /usr/local/karmada-nginx/sbin/karmada-nginx

Distribute Binaries

Upload the binary file to the karmada-02 karmada-03 server.

Generate Certificates

Step 1: Create Bash Scripts and Configuration Files

The scripts will generate certificates using the openssl command. Download this directory.

We separate CA & leaf certificates generation scripts, so when you need to change Subject Alternative Name of leaf certificates (aka Load Balancer IP), you can reuse CA certificates, and run generate_leaf.sh to generate only leaf certificates.

There are 3 CAs: front-proxy-ca, server-ca, etcd/ca. Why we need 3 CAs please see: PKI certificates and requirements, CA Reusage and Conflicts.

If you use etcd provided by others, you can ignore generate_etcd.sh and csr_config/etcd.

Step 2: Change <SERVER_IP>

You need to change <SERVER_IP> in csr_config/**/*.conf file to your “Load Balancer IP” and “Server IP”. If you only use Load Balancer to access your servers, you only need to fill in “Load Balancer IP”.

You normally don’t need to change *.sh files.

Step 3: Run Shell Scripts

  1. $ ./generate_ca.sh
  2. $ ./generate_leaf.sh ca_cert/
  3. $ ./generate_etcd.sh

Step 4: Check the Certificates

You can view the configuration of the certificate, take karmada.crt as an example.

  1. openssl x509 -noout -text -in karmada.crt

Step 5: Create the Karmada Configuration Directory

Copy the certificates to the /etc/karmada/pki directory.

  1. mkdir -p /etc/karmada/pki
  3. cd ca_cert
  4. cp -r * /etc/karmada/pki
  6. cd ../cert
  7. cp -r * /etc/karmada/pki

Create the Karmada kubeconfig Files and etcd Encryption Key

Execute operations at karmada-01.

Create kubeconfig Files

Step 1: Download bash script

Download this file.

Step 2: execute bash script

172.31.209.245:5443 is the address of the nginx proxy for karmada-apiserver, we’ll set it up later. You should replace it with your Load Balancer provided “host:port”.

  1. ./create_kubeconfig_file.sh "https://172.31.209.245:5443"

Create etcd Encryption Key

If you don’t need to encrypt contents in etcd, ignore this section and corresponding kube-apiserver start parameter.

  1. export ENCRYPTION_KEY=$(head -c 32 /dev/urandom | base64)
  2. cat > /etc/karmada/encryption-config.yaml <<EOF
  3. kind: EncryptionConfig
  4. apiVersion: v1
  5. resources:
  6.   - resources:
  7.       - secrets
  8.     providers:
  9.       - aescbc:
  10.           keys:
  11.             - name: key1
  12.               secret: ${ENCRYPTION_KEY}
  13.       - identity: {}
  14. EOF

Distribute Files

Package the karmada configuration files and copy them to other nodes.

  1. cd /etc
  2. tar -cvf karmada.tar karmada
  3. scp karmada.tar  karmada-02:/etc/
  4. scp karmada.tar  karmada-03:/etc/

karmada-02 karmada-03 need to decompress archives.

  1. cd /etc
  2. tar -xvf karmada.tar

Health Check Script

(1) You can use the following check_status.sh to check if all components are healthy.

Download this file.

Note: If you are using CentOS 7, you need to run yum update -y nss curl to update curl version, then curl may support tls 1.3. If curl still does not support tls 1.3, you need to update OS version which includes newer curl, or simply use a go program to do a health check.

(2) Usage: ./check_status.sh

Install etcd cluster

Execute operations at karmada-01 karmada-02 karmada-03. Take karmada-01 as an example.

Install karmada-aggregated-apiserver

Create namespace and bind the cluster admin role. Execute operations at karmada-01.

  1. kubectl create ns karmada-system
  2. kubectl create clusterrolebinding cluster-admin:karmada --clusterrole=cluster-admin --user system:karmada

Then, like karmada-webhook, use nginx for high availability.

modify the nginx configuration and add the following configuration,Execute operations at karmada-01.

Install karmada-scheduler-estimator (Optional)

karmada-scheduler uses gRPC to access karmada-scheduler-estimator. You can use “Linux Virtual Server” as the Load Balancer.

You need to deploy above components and join member cluster into Karmada Control Plane first. See: Install Karmada on your own cluster

Create Systemd Service
