Kubernetes Dev Bootstrap Resources

Kubernetes development is centered around Github workflows. So the links for Issues, Pull Requests and Commits are as follows:

• https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues
• https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pulls
• https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/commits/master/

Starting with 1.4, Kubernetes dev folks are using another repository to track Features:

• https://github.com/kubernetes/features/issues

Must-read to get the lay of the land:

• https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/docs/devel/development.md#development-guide
• https://developer.ibm.com/opentech/2016/06/15/kubernetes-developer-guide-part-1/

Kubernetes is organized around Special Interest Groups (SIG’s):

• https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/README.md#special-interest-groups-sig
• SIG-OpenStack mailing list and slack channels
• Kubernetes-SIG-OpenStack Working Doc

How do i follow my work?  https://k8s-gubernator.appspot.com/pr/dims

What’s currently running in the CI systems? http://kubernetes.submit-queue.k8s.io/#/queue

What went wrong in the last 24 hours? Kubernetes 24-Hour Test Report

Where can i find performance numbers, flaky tests on various platforms etc?

• http://perf-dash.k8s.io/
• https://k8s-testgrid.appspot.com/k8s
• https://k8s-testgrid.appspot.com/google-gce

Where do folks hangout? https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/README.md#slack-chat

Hope this helps!

Quick start Kubernetes in an OpenStack Environment

Here’s a quick way for those who want to try Kubernetes in an existing OpenStack environment:

• Deploy a VM using an image that has Docker built in. We pick one used by Magnum in the OpenStack CI environment
• Use the cloud-init functionality during Nova boot process to start Kubernetes

Here’s the script we inject during Nova boot process:

#!/bin/sh

# Switch off SE-Linux
setenforce 0

# Set the name server
sudo sh -c 'echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf'

# Get the latest stable version of kubernetes
export K8S_VERSION=$(curl -sS https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)
echo "K8S_VERSION : ${K8S_VERSION}"

echo "Starting docker service"
sudo systemctl enable docker.service
sudo systemctl start docker.service --ignore-dependencies
echo "Checking docker service"
sudo docker ps

# Run the docker containers for kubernetes
echo "Starting Kubernetes containers"
sudo docker run \
    --volume=/:/rootfs:ro \
    --volume=/sys:/sys:ro \
    --volume=/var/lib/docker/:/var/lib/docker:rw \
    --volume=/var/lib/kubelet/:/var/lib/kubelet:rw \
    --volume=/var/run:/var/run:rw \
    --net=host \
    --pid=host \
    --privileged=true \
    --name=kubelet \
    -d \
    gcr.io/google_containers/hyperkube-amd64:${K8S_VERSION} \
    /hyperkube kubelet \
        --containerized \
        --hostname-override="127.0.0.1" \
        --address="0.0.0.0" \
        --api-servers=http://localhost:8080 \
        --config=/etc/kubernetes/manifests \
        --allow-privileged=true --v=2

And here’s how you upload the image from Magnum into glance and then use nova boot to start it up (using the nova and glance python clients).

#!/bin/sh

export OS_REGION_NAME=RegionOne
export OS_PASSWORD=xyz123
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://172.18.184.20:5000/v2.0
export OS_USERNAME=dsrinivas
export OS_TENANT_NAME=Commons

curl -o fedora-atomic-latest.qcow2 \
    https://fedorapeople.org/groups/magnum/fedora-atomic-latest.qcow2

glance image-create --name "fedora-23-atomic" \
    --disk-format "qcow2" \
    --container-format=bare \
    --file fedora-atomic-latest.qcow2

nova boot \
    --key-name "k8s-keypair" \
    --flavor "m1.medium" \
    --image "fedora-23-atomic" \
    --user-data kube-init.sh \
    --config-drive true \
    "my-k8s"

Deploy a Centos container in Docker for running OpenStack Nova tests

First start a centos container using docker command line and drop down to the bash shell

dims@dims-ubuntu:~$ sudo docker run -i -t centos /bin/bash
[root@218b625b2529 nova]# rpm -q centos-release
centos-release-7-0.1406.el7.centos.2.5.x86_64

Install the EPEL repository

[root@218b625b2529 /]# yum -y install epel-release

Install a few things needed before we can run Nova tests as documented here:

[root@218b625b2529 /]# yum -y install git python-devel openssl-devel python-pip git gcc libxslt-devel mysql-devel postgresql-devel libffi-devel libvirt-devel graphviz sqlite-devel

We need tox as well.

[root@218b625b2529 /]# pip install tox

Get the latest nova trunk

[root@218b625b2529 /]# git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/nova
[root@218b625b2529 /]# cd nova
[root@218b625b2529 nova]#

Run the tests as usual

[root@218b625b2529 nova]# tox -e py27 nova.tests.unit.test_crypto

Quickly running a single OpenStack Nova test

Sometimes the usual way is not very helpful, especially when you are working on some new code and say running into issues importing code. Then, here’s what you do.

First, activate the py27 virtualenv

dims@dims-mac:~/openstack/nova$ . .tox/py27/bin/activate

Then use testtools

(py27)dims@dims-mac:~/openstack/nova$ python -m testtools.run nova.tests.unit.test_versions
Tests running...

Ran 2 tests in 0.090s
OK

Or you can install pytest

(py27)dims@dims-mac:~/openstack/nova$ pip install pytest

CFv2 Deployment on latest DevStack using MicroBOSH

As promised, here’s a follow up to the 2 previous posts:

• Deploying BOSH With Micro BOSH On Latest DevStack
• Running Cloud Foundry’s Micro BOSH On Latest DevStack

Let’s now deploy a full CFv2 instance using microbosh, instructions are from here:
Install Cloud Foundry on OpenStack

Here’s the edited flavor(s) that i used:

Here’s the micro_bosh.yml for completeness:

Here’s the cf-173-openstack.yml originally from @ferdy with minor tweaks:

Things to tweak:
In my cf-173-openstack.yml, i had set static_ip to 172.24.4.10. So once the MicroBOSH finished deploying CFv2, i had to find the correct vm for the router and set its floating ip to 172.24.4.10. You can do this by running “bosh vms”, look for the ip address for “router/0”, then find the correct vm in horizon or using nova list and then set it’s ip address. You need to do this before you try to use the cf command line API. Be sure to download the latest and greatest CLI from https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli#downloads.

Flaky Stuff:
postgres vm ran into trouble multiple times, i figured out how to stop/start the shell script by hand but since other vms like cloud_controller, clock_global, cloud_controller_worker had issues it was better to whack a big hammer and run “bosh delete deployment cf” and re-instantiate the vms. (yes, i tried combinations of bosh start/recreate/restart commands as well)

Hints:
bosh-lite’s README.md is very helpful about how to build the cf release. Andy’s blogpost helped quite a bit to peel the onion for debugging as did Dr Nic’s posts. Thanks Folks!

Deploying BOSH with Micro BOSH on latest DevStack

Follow up to Running Cloud Foundry’s Micro BOSH On Latest DevStack, I had to bump the VOLUME_BACKING_FILE_SIZE to 200GB in devstack as 100GB was not enough. Instructions from http://docs.cloudfoundry.org/deploying/openstack/deploying_bosh.html were handy as usual. Here’s my bosh-openstack.yml

Running Cloud Foundry’s Micro BOSH on latest DevStack

The Cloud Foundry docs are excellent. Here’s where i started from:
http://docs.cloudfoundry.org/deploying/openstack/

I provisioned a big beefy bare metal box with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on SoftLayer and installed DevStack on it as usual. Here’s the super simple local.conf that i used. Note the 100GB volume needed later for Micro BOSH deployment.

[[local|localrc]]
FLAT_INTERFACE=eth0
PUBLIC_INTERFACE=eth1
ADMIN_PASSWORD=passw0rd
MYSQL_PASSWORD=passw0rd
RABBIT_PASSWORD=passw0rd
SERVICE_PASSWORD=passw0rd
VOLUME_BACKING_FILE_SIZE=100GB

Once you deploy DevStack, follow the steps in the CF docs url above, Here’s the ~/.fog file that i used in step #2. Note that i am just using the “admin” credentials and the “admin” tenant for all openstack operations

:openstack:
  :openstack_auth_url:  http://9.193.231.50:5000/v2.0/tokens
  :openstack_api_key:   passw0rd
  :openstack_username:  admin
  :openstack_tenant: admin
  :openstack_region:

Here’s a script to create all the security groups and floating ips needed in step #3.

nova secgroup-add-rule default icmp -1 -1 0.0.0.0/0 
nova secgroup-add-rule default tcp 22 22 0.0.0.0/0

Generating a Bitcoin Private Key and Address

Ken Shirriff’s blog post here has an excellent introduction to Bitcoin. One of his code snippets shows a sample python code to generate a private key in WIF format and an address. I tweaked it just a bit to replace usage of python’s random module with os.urandom and stripped it down to just what’s needed to show the exponent, private key and address. Here’s the effort in a gist:
