All the Kubernetes manifest files required to deploy whatever we're running.

Ingress manifests assume that the nginx ingress contriller is installed on the cluster:

helm install stable/nginx-ingress --namespace kube-system

To also enable autoscaling and resource limits / requests:

helm install stable/nginx-ingress --namespace kube-system -f nginx-ingress-values.yaml

kube-lego is used for automated Let's Encrypt certs:

helm install stable/kube-lego --namespace kube-system \
  --set config.LEGO_EMAIL={your_email} \
  --set config.LEGO_URL=https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
  --set rbac.create=true  (if RBAC is enabled)

Metrics services

Prometheus

Note: Prometheus is included in the istio helm chart by default

Prometheus from Helm chart, rbac needs to be off if using older aks or :

helm install --name promy stable/prometheus --set rbac.create=true --set alertmanager.persistentVolume.storageClass=azurefile --set server.persistentVolume.storageClass=managed-standard --namespace data

Kubernetes metrics server for pod autoscaling

For some bizzarre reason, aks doesn't deploy with the default metrics-server included which is needed for horizontal pod autoscaling; it can be deployed manually from https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/metrics-server/tree/master/deploy/1.8%2B

Node autoscaling

node autoscaling (for aks, minimum k8s v1.10): https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/blob/master/cluster-autoscaler/cloudprovider/azure/cluster-autoscaler-containerservice.yaml just need to:

  • fill out the secrets part,
  • replace {{ ca_version }} with autoscaler version (at least 1.2 for azure), and
  • replace --nodes=3:10:nodepool1 the min/max node count and node pool name.

The README provides directions on fetching all of that.

Istio

From istio release:

helm install install/kubernetes/helm/istio --name istio --namespace istio-system --set certmanager.enabled=true

additional options: https://istio.io/docs/reference/config/installation-options/

By default this will intall the sidecar auto-injector, to use it a namespace will need to be properly labeled, for example:

kubectl label namespace prod istio-injection=enabled

Notes for deployment, service, etc. manifests for use with istio:

  • Service ports need to have names
  • ClusterIP type Services need to not be headless if it is to accept ingress gateway traffic - that is, it must not have clusterIP: None
  • Deployments need version labels, such as version: v1
  • By default with the helm install mutual tls will be enabled which will prevent any inter-service communication unless an appropriate DestinationRule is set up
  • Istio / envoy doesn't seem to support let's encrypt certs, that whole area seems to be left as an excercise for the user, but ignoring the istio ingress and using the same nginx-ingress from the first part of this readme with cert-manager does seem to work.
