+1. Single ignition config that can be used for multiple clusters


I suspect that many will see this as valuable enough to build in from the start because of latency issues, but @crawford probably knows better.

+
+Demonstrate a prototype of creating a simple static Ignition file that boots an RHCOS machine and launches a basic Kube control plane
+
+### Goals


I think goals need to enumerate the components we want running. I'll throw one possible starting point out:

etcd

kube-apiserver

kube-controller-manager

kube-scheduler

oauth-apiserver

oauth-server

olm

nothing else.

This gives a kube control plane.

@eranco74 lets list what is provided by bootstrap static pods.

On the bootstrap node we have these static pods yamls:

etcd-member-pod.yaml

kube-apiserver-pod.yaml

kube-controller-manager-pod.yaml

kube-scheduler-pod.yaml

bootstrap-pod.yaml (cluster version operator)

recycler-pod.yaml (doesn't seem relevant)
Running containers:

crictl ps | awk '{print $7}' POD kube-apiserver-insecure-readyz kube-apiserver kube-controller-manager kube-scheduler cluster-version-operator etcd-metrics etcd-member

Pods that show up with kubectl:

kubectl --kubeconfig auth/kubeconfig get pods -A NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE kube-system bootstrap-kube-apiserver-master1 2/2 Running 0 37m kube-system bootstrap-kube-controller-manager-master1 1/1 Running 0 37m kube-system bootstrap-kube-scheduler-master1 1/1 Running 0 37m

We also have machineconfigoperator-bootstrap-pod.yaml that runs machine-config-server (get removed once the bootstrap manage to apply all the manifests https://github.com/openshift/installer/blob/master/data/data/bootstrap/files/usr/local/bin/bootkube.sh.template#L371)

These are the static pods manifests we have in (baremetal) Openshift master node (3 nodes installation):

1. etcd-pod.yaml 1. kube-apiserver-pod.yaml 2. kube-controller-manager-pod.yaml 3. kube-scheduler-pod.yaml 4. coredns.yaml 5. haproxy.yaml 6. keepalived.yaml 7. mdns-publisher.yaml 8. recycler-pod.yaml

the keeplived/coredns/haproxy are there because u're looking into BM platfrom cluster. I guess when we try similar with none, static pods will be aligned.

+1. Create a single node cluster composed of static pods, similar to the installer bootstrap.
+
+### Non-Goals


running a single node means certain management activity is difficult/impossible with current operator design. We should indicate whether we want operators running and if so, for which parts

should indicate whether or not this needs to be able to upgrade. again @crawford

+
+All certificates will be generated by the openshift installer.


I think the installer wants to stop creating certificates and would prefer to delegate to the operators themselves in rendering.

+
+### Non-Goals


decide whether or not cert rotation is important. If not, and if we decide to produce these static pods, it is possible for us to choose a different expiry, measured in years.

I guess we can start with 10 years validity and add the rotation later

deads2k · 2020-08-18T18:28:42Z

enhancements/installer/single-node-installation.md

+
+1. Operators are not running in the cluster and we need a way to rotate all certificates with a bash script using oc similar to this:
+   https://github.com/code-ready/snc/blame/master/kubelet-bootstrap-cred-manager-ds.yaml.in
+   Is this the best way to handle it?


What if we decide we don't rotate, but that clusters created in this mode create certificates good for X years instead of X days

Than we'll need to update all the parts that generate those certificates, right? There is no single place ?

Explode a high level flow here and whether or not it worked?

I recall suggesting that you

install a cluster

remove two nodes

run an etcd recovery on the remaining node to get a good etcd

see if mostly works

If that mostly works, then I think we can talk about a possible path forward where the full configuration input is provided in manifests and operators render out the "finished" static pod instead of a bootstrap static pod. Or something similar. @crawford again.

Cluster downscale POC:
The cluster seems OK except for:
openshift-ingress router:
1/2 in status Pending since it's configured with 2 replicas and we have a single node.
Etcd-quorum-guard:
2/3 in status Pending since it’s configured with 3 replicas and we have a single node.
We ran openshift conformance tests (Feature:ProjectAPI) on the single node as well (6 pass, 0 skip (48.2s))

We did another POC transforming the installer bootsrap node to a single node cluster (replaced the link with the POC details)

Main changes are: - Put a little more emphasis on describing the installer interface - Add more details to the summary and motivation section - Mention the non-goal of being able to expand this cluster - Mention we want to support users customizing this all-in-one config - Copy the POC details from the Google doc so they are publicly visible - Add an open question about whether the bootstrap static pods are suitable

I'm wondering whether API-VIP is required (instead of relying on external dns)

I am not wild about abbreviated command names, although I am ~ok with shorter aliases. I'd rather address long-command-name concerns with auto-complete scripts ;). Can we make this create single-node-config or some such?

Hmm, it's also not clear to me why you can't just use the existing create ignition-configs with an install-config.yaml requesting replicas: 1 for the control plane and replicas: 0 for compute. Why does this need a new subcommand?

The new sub-command is required since we want a new installation flow that allow installing the node without having an auxiliary node (bootstrap) just an rhcos + ignition.

This feels like it's missing the use-case? Is it just for demoing something - I'm not really clear on the why for this...

This is a first step for zero touch single node cluster.

This enhancement describes a new single-node cluster profile for production use in "edge" deployments that are not considered to be resource-constrained, such as telecommunications bare metal environments. Signed-off-by: Doug Hellmann <dhellmann@redhat.com>
