Chapter 8. Creating infrastructure machine sets

Procedure

1. Create a new YAML file that contains the compute machine set custom resource (CR) sample and is named <file_name>.yaml.

   Ensure that you set the <clusterID> and <role> parameter values.

2. Optional: If you are not sure which value to set for a specific field, you can check an existing compute machine set from your cluster.

   1. To list the compute machine sets in your cluster, run the following command:

      $ oc get machinesets -n openshift-machine-api

      Example output

      NAME                                DESIRED   CURRENT   READY   AVAILABLE   AGE
      agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1a   1         1         1       1           55m
      agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1b   1         1         1       1           55m
      agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1c   1         1         1       1           55m
      agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1d   0         0                             55m
      agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1e   0         0                             55m
      agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1f   0         0                             55m

   2. To view values of a specific compute machine set custom resource (CR), run the following command:

      $ oc get machineset <machineset_name> \
        -n openshift-machine-api -o yaml

      Example output

      apiVersion: machine.openshift.io/v1beta1
      kind: MachineSet
      metadata:
        labels:
          machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-cluster: <infrastructure_id> 1
        name: <infrastructure_id>-<role> 2
        namespace: openshift-machine-api
      spec:
        replicas: 1
        selector:
          matchLabels:
            machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-cluster: <infrastructure_id>
            machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-machineset: <infrastructure_id>-<role>
        template:
          metadata:
            labels:
              machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-cluster: <infrastructure_id>
              machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-machine-role: <role>
              machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-machine-type: <role>
              machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-machineset: <infrastructure_id>-<role>
          spec:
            providerSpec: 3
              ...

      1

      The cluster infrastructure ID.

      2

      A default node label.

      Note

      For clusters that have user-provisioned infrastructure, a compute machine set can only create worker and infra type machines.

      3

      The values in the <providerSpec> section of the compute machine set CR are platform-specific. For more information about <providerSpec> parameters in the CR, see the sample compute machine set CR configuration for your provider.

3. Create a MachineSet CR by running the following command:

   $ oc create -f <file_name>.yaml

Procedure

1. Add a label to the worker node that you want to act as application node:

   $ oc label node <node-name> node-role.kubernetes.io/app=""

2. Add a label to the worker nodes that you want to act as infrastructure nodes:

   $ oc label node <node-name> node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=""

3. Check to see if applicable nodes now have the infra role and app roles:

   $ oc get nodes

4. Create a default cluster-wide node selector. The default node selector is applied to pods created in all namespaces. This creates an intersection with any existing node selectors on a pod, which additionally constrains the pod’s selector.

   Important

   If the default node selector key conflicts with the key of a pod’s label, then the default node selector is not applied.

   However, do not set a default node selector that might cause a pod to become unschedulable. For example, setting the default node selector to a specific node role, such as node-role.kubernetes.io/infra="", when a pod’s label is set to a different node role, such as node-role.kubernetes.io/master="", can cause the pod to become unschedulable. For this reason, use caution when setting the default node selector to specific node roles.

   You can alternatively use a project node selector to avoid cluster-wide node selector key conflicts.

   1. Edit the Scheduler object:

      $ oc edit scheduler cluster

   2. Add the defaultNodeSelector field with the appropriate node selector:

      apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
      kind: Scheduler
      metadata:
        name: cluster
      spec:
        defaultNodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra="" 1
      # ...

      1

      This example node selector deploys pods on infrastructure nodes by default.

   3. Save the file to apply the changes.

Procedure

1. Add a label to the node you want to assign as the infra node with a specific label:

   $ oc label node <node_name> <label>

   $ oc label node ci-ln-n8mqwr2-f76d1-xscn2-worker-c-6fmtx node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=

2. Create a machine config pool that contains both the worker role and your custom role as machine config selector:

   $ cat infra.mcp.yaml

   Example output

   apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1
   kind: MachineConfigPool
   metadata:
     name: infra
   spec:
     machineConfigSelector:
       matchExpressions:
         - {key: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role, operator: In, values: [worker,infra]} 1
     nodeSelector:
       matchLabels:
         node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" 2

   1

   Add the worker role and your custom role.

   2

   Add the label you added to the node as a nodeSelector.

   Note

   Custom machine config pools inherit machine configs from the worker pool. Custom pools use any machine config targeted for the worker pool, but add the ability to also deploy changes that are targeted at only the custom pool. Because a custom pool inherits resources from the worker pool, any change to the worker pool also affects the custom pool.

3. After you have the YAML file, you can create the machine config pool:

   $ oc create -f infra.mcp.yaml

4. Check the machine configs to ensure that the infrastructure configuration rendered successfully:

   $ oc get machineconfig

   Example output

   You should see a new machine config, with the rendered-infra-* prefix.

5. Optional: To deploy changes to a custom pool, create a machine config that uses the custom pool name as the label, such as infra. Note that this is not required and only shown for instructional purposes. In this manner, you can apply any custom configurations specific to only your infra nodes.

   Note

   After you create the new machine config pool, the MCO generates a new rendered config for that pool, and associated nodes of that pool reboot to apply the new configuration.

   1. Create a machine config:

      $ cat infra.mc.yaml

      Example output

      apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1
      kind: MachineConfig
      metadata:
        name: 51-infra
        labels:
          machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: infra 1
      spec:
        config:
          ignition:
            version: 3.2.0
          storage:
            files:
            - path: /etc/infratest
              mode: 0644
              contents:
                source: data:,infra

      1

      Add the label you added to the node as a nodeSelector.

   2. Apply the machine config to the infra-labeled nodes:

      $ oc create -f infra.mc.yaml

6. Confirm that your new machine config pool is available:

   $ oc get mcp

   Example output

   NAME     CONFIG                                             UPDATED   UPDATING   DEGRADED   MACHINECOUNT   READYMACHINECOUNT   UPDATEDMACHINECOUNT   DEGRADEDMACHINECOUNT   AGE

   worker   rendered-worker-60e35c2e99f42d976e084fa94da4d0fc   True      False      False      2              2                   2                     0                      91m

   In this example, a worker node was changed to an infra node.

Procedure

1. Add a taint to the infra node to prevent scheduling user workloads on it:

   1. Determine if the node has the taint:

      $ oc describe nodes <node_name>

      Sample output

      oc describe node ci-ln-iyhx092-f76d1-nvdfm-worker-b-wln2l
      Name:               ci-ln-iyhx092-f76d1-nvdfm-worker-b-wln2l
      Roles:              worker
       ...
      Taints:             node-role.kubernetes.io/infra:NoSchedule
       ...

      This example shows that the node has a taint. You can proceed with adding a toleration to your pod in the next step.

   2. If you have not configured a taint to prevent scheduling user workloads on it:

      $ oc adm taint nodes <node_name> <key>=<value>:<effect>

      For example:

      $ oc adm taint nodes node1 node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=reserved:NoSchedule

      Tip

      You can alternatively apply the following YAML to add the taint:

      kind: Node
      apiVersion: v1
      metadata:
        name: <node_name>
        labels:
          ...
      spec:
        taints:
          - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra
            effect: NoSchedule
            value: reserved
        ...

      This example places a taint on node1 that has key node-role.kubernetes.io/infra and taint effect NoSchedule. Nodes with the NoSchedule effect schedule only pods that tolerate the taint, but allow existing pods to remain scheduled on the node.

      Note

      If a descheduler is used, pods violating node taints could be evicted from the cluster.

   3. Add the taint with NoExecute Effect along with the above taint with NoSchedule Effect:

      $ oc adm taint nodes <node_name> <key>=<value>:<effect>

      For example:

      $ oc adm taint nodes node1 node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=reserved:NoExecute

      Tip

      You can alternatively apply the following YAML to add the taint:

      kind: Node
      apiVersion: v1
      metadata:
        name: <node_name>
        labels:
          ...
      spec:
        taints:
          - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra
            effect: NoExecute
            value: reserved
        ...

      This example places a taint on node1 that has the key node-role.kubernetes.io/infra and taint effect NoExecute. Nodes with the NoExecute effect schedule only pods that tolerate the taint. The effect will remove any existing pods from the node that do not have a matching toleration.

2. Add tolerations for the pod configurations you want to schedule on the infra node, like router, registry, and monitoring workloads. Add the following code to the Pod object specification:

   tolerations:
     - effect: NoSchedule 1
       key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra 2
       value: reserved 3
     - effect: NoExecute 4
       key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra 5
       operator: Exists 6
       value: reserved 7

   1

   Specify the effect that you added to the node.

   2

   Specify the key that you added to the node.

   3

   Specify the value of the key-value pair taint that you added to the node.

   4

   Specify the effect that you added to the node.

   5

   Specify the key that you added to the node.

   6

   Specify the Exists Operator to require a taint with the key node-role.kubernetes.io/infra to be present on the node.

   7

   Specify the value of the key-value pair taint that you added to the node.

   This toleration matches the taint created by the oc adm taint command. A pod with this toleration can be scheduled onto the infra node.

   Note

   Moving pods for an Operator installed via OLM to an infra node is not always possible. The capability to move Operator pods depends on the configuration of each Operator.

3. Schedule the pod to the infra node using a scheduler. See the documentation for Controlling pod placement onto nodes for details.

Procedure

1. View the IngressController custom resource for the router Operator:

   $ oc get ingresscontroller default -n openshift-ingress-operator -o yaml

   The command output resembles the following text:

   apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
   kind: IngressController
   metadata:
     creationTimestamp: 2019-04-18T12:35:39Z

     selfLink: /apis/operator.openshift.io/v1/namespaces/openshift-ingress-operator/ingresscontrollers/default
     uid: 79509e05-61d6-11e9-bc55-02ce4781844a
   spec: {}
   status:

     domain: apps.<cluster>.example.com
     endpointPublishingStrategy:
       type: LoadBalancerService
     selector: ingresscontroller.operator.openshift.io/deployment-ingresscontroller=default

2. Edit the ingresscontroller resource and change the nodeSelector to use the infra label:

   $ oc edit ingresscontroller default -n openshift-ingress-operator

     spec:
       nodePlacement:
         nodeSelector: 1
           matchLabels:
             node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: ""
         tolerations:
         - effect: NoSchedule
           key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra
           value: reserved
         - effect: NoExecute
           key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra
           value: reserved

   1

   Add a nodeSelector parameter with the appropriate value to the component you want to move. You can use a nodeSelector in the format shown or use <key>: <value> pairs, based on the value specified for the node. If you added a taint to the infrastructure node, also add a matching toleration.

3. Confirm that the router pod is running on the infra node.

   1. View the list of router pods and note the node name of the running pod:

      $ oc get pod -n openshift-ingress -o wide

      Example output

      NAME                              READY     STATUS        RESTARTS   AGE       IP           NODE                           NOMINATED NODE   READINESS GATES
      router-default-86798b4b5d-bdlvd   1/1      Running       0          28s       10.130.2.4   ip-10-0-217-226.ec2.internal   <none>           <none>
      router-default-955d875f4-255g8    0/1      Terminating   0          19h       10.129.2.4   ip-10-0-148-172.ec2.internal   <none>           <none>

      In this example, the running pod is on the ip-10-0-217-226.ec2.internal node.

   2. View the node status of the running pod:

      $ oc get node <node_name> 1

      1

      Specify the <node_name> that you obtained from the pod list.

      Example output

      NAME                          STATUS  ROLES         AGE   VERSION
      ip-10-0-217-226.ec2.internal  Ready   infra,worker  17h   v1.30.3

      Because the role list includes infra, the pod is running on the correct node.

Procedure

1. View the config/instance object:

   $ oc get configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster -o yaml

   Example output

       key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra
       value: reserved

   1

   Add a nodeSelector parameter with the appropriate value to the component you want to move. You can use a nodeSelector in the format shown or use <key>: <value> pairs, based on the value specified for the node. If you added a taint to the infrasructure node, also add a matching toleration.

3. Verify the registry pod has been moved to the infrastructure node.

   1. Run the following command to identify the node where the registry pod is located:

      $ oc get pods -o wide -n openshift-image-registry

   2. Confirm the node has the label you specified:

      $ oc describe node <node_name>

      Review the command output and confirm that node-role.kubernetes.io/infra is in the LABELS list.

Procedure

1. Edit the cluster-monitoring-config config map and change the nodeSelector to use the infra label:

   $ oc edit configmap cluster-monitoring-config -n openshift-monitoring

   1

   Add a nodeSelector parameter with the appropriate value to the component you want to move. You can use a nodeSelector in the format shown or use <key>: <value> pairs, based on the value specified for the node. If you added a taint to the infrastructure node, also add a matching toleration.

2. Watch the monitoring pods move to the new machines:

   $ watch 'oc get pod -n openshift-monitoring -o wide'

3. If a component has not moved to the infra node, delete the pod with this component:

   $ oc delete pod -n openshift-monitoring <pod>

   The component from the deleted pod is re-created on the infra node.

Procedure

1. Move the VPA Operator pod by adding a node selector to the Subscription custom resource (CR) for the VPA Operator:

   1. Edit the CR:

      $ oc edit Subscription vertical-pod-autoscaler -n openshift-vertical-pod-autoscaler

   2. Add a node selector to match the node role label on the infra node:

      apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
      kind: Subscription
      metadata:
        labels:
          operators.coreos.com/vertical-pod-autoscaler.openshift-vertical-pod-autoscaler: ""
        name: vertical-pod-autoscaler
      # ...
      spec:
        config:
          nodeSelector:
            node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" 1

      1

      Specifies the node role of an infra node.

      Note

      If the infra node uses taints, you need to add a toleration to the Subscription CR.

      For example:

      apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
      kind: Subscription
      metadata:
        labels:

      spec:
        config:
          nodeSelector:
            node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: ""
          tolerations: 1
          - key: "node-role.kubernetes.io/infra"
            operator: "Exists"
            effect: "NoSchedule"

      1

      Specifies a toleration for a taint on the infra node.

2. Move each VPA component by adding node selectors to the VerticalPodAutoscaler custom resource (CR):

   1. Edit the CR:

      $ oc edit VerticalPodAutoscalerController default -n openshift-vertical-pod-autoscaler

   2. Add node selectors to match the node role label on the infra node:

      apiVersion: autoscaling.openshift.io/v1
      kind: VerticalPodAutoscalerController

              resources: {}
            nodeSelector:
              node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: ""
            tolerations: 3
            - key: "my-example-node-taint-key"
              operator: "Exists"
              effect: "NoSchedule"

      1

      Specifies a toleration for the admission controller pod for a taint on the infra node.

      2

      Specifies a toleration for the recommender pod for a taint on the infra node.

   1. Edit the CR:

      $ oc edit -n clusterresourceoverride-operator subscriptions.operators.coreos.com clusterresourceoverride

   2. Add a node selector to match the node role label on the node where you want to install the Cluster Resource Override Operator pod:

      apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
      kind: Subscription
      metadata:
        name: clusterresourceoverride
        namespace: clusterresourceoverride-operator
      # ...
      spec:
        config:
