devops-stack-module-cluster-kind

A DevOps Stack module to deploy a KinD cluster based on Docker.

This cluster module is mainly used to deploy a Kubernetes cluster used for testing and development as well as for onboarding new users of the DevOps Stack.

KinD is nothing more than a local Kubernetes cluster using Docker container "nodes". As such, it is required that you have Docker up and running on your machine (the documentation to install Docker is available here here).

An example of a deployment of the DevOps Stack using KinD is available here as well as an accompanying quick tutorial.

Usage

This module can be declared by adding the following block on your Terraform configuration:

module "kind" {
  source = "git::https://github.com/camptocamp/devops-stack-module-kind.git?ref=<RELEASE>"

  cluster_name = local.cluster_name
}

You can configure the version of Kubernetes by passing the variable kubernetes_version. This variable is nothing more than the tag of the image that is to be deployed. You can see the usable versions in Docker Hub.

module "kind" {
  source = "git::https://github.com/camptocamp/devops-stack-module-kind.git?ref=<RELEASE>"

  cluster_name = local.cluster_name

  kubernetes_version = "1.27.3"
}

By default, this module deploys a cluster with a control plane node and 3 worker nodes. If you want to deploy one more worker node, you can do it like this:

module "kind" {
  source = "git::https://github.com/camptocamp/devops-stack-module-kind.git?ref=<RELEASE>"

  cluster_name = local.cluster_name

  nodes = [
    {
      "platform" = "devops-stack"
    },
    {
      "platform" = "devops-stack"
    },
    {
      "platform" = "devops-stack"
    },
    {
      "platform" = "devops-stack"
    },
  ]
}

Technical Reference

Dependencies

Obviously, since this module deploys the cluster, it does not depend on any other module of the DevOps Stack. The only thing you’ll probably want to configure are some locals with some common variables used on all the modules:

locals {
  kubernetes_version     = "v1.27.3"
  cluster_name           = "YOUR_CLUSTER_NAME"
  base_domain            = format("%s.nip.io", replace(module.traefik.external_ip, ".", "-"))
  cluster_issuer         = "ca-issuer"
}
