An automated drain/cordon strategy of rolling updates for EKS is lacking. As such, we have preferred working with kops. Until such a strategy exists, EKS+terraform we prefer to stick with kops

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

Even eksctl does not support rolling updates yet

Dave Yuover 7 years ago

running into this error with external dns and unlimited staging environments. are there any strategies for dealing with this besides being more restrictive with naming? in this case I’m using the git branch name.

"InvalidChangeBatch: [FATAL problem: DomainLabelTooLong (Domain label is too long) encountered with '14bd77e7-db57-4000-8250-d89cd97cef51-staging-db-myapplication-backend']\n\tstatus code: 400, request id: c7a58d7e-3fa5-11e9-9ea2-799474e23419"

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

Aha, yea need normalization

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

What works well is to use slashes as a delimiter in your branch names

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

E.g. epic123/my-fix

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

Use the first field for the service disambiguation

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

This also allows you to have multiple PRs deploy to the same namespace

has anyone every tried out openshift origin? Any opinions on it?

Erik Weberover 7 years ago

helped a client once, i wouldn't do it again but i don't know how it compares to other managed k8s solutions

Erik Weberover 7 years ago

first impression is that it's hard to get the initial configuration right if you're not familiar with it, think we ran the installation playbook like 10 times before it worked successfully

Erik Weberover 7 years ago

the actual installation is handled by ansible and pretty straight forward

Erik Weberover 7 years ago

when shit hits the fan you have 3 layers to troubleshoot - plain docker, kubernetes and openshift

Ramesh Kumarover 7 years ago

is there any way to print all the kubernetes resource objects?

johncblandiiover 7 years ago

So, anyone running Jenkins get docker images to build without using docker.build commands from the plugin?

We need to run TF commands to get state, pass in build args, etc and our Makefile handles this. I’d rather not recreate that in a Jenkinsfile. Running 1 simple: make release ... is much easier.

Thoughts?

btaiover 7 years ago

does anyone here have a pattern to preload docker images into their cluster before deploys

btaiover 7 years ago

scenario where you have a weekly cadence (i.e. release every tuesday) and you could preload all the worker nodes with the images the monday night before?

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

How large is the cluster? Is this something exasperated by the size of your cluster when pulling the images?

btaiover 7 years ago

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) we can assume ~50 worker nodes

i5okieover 7 years ago

anyone know anyone for an invite to slack.k8s.io ?

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

You have filled out the form?

btaiover 7 years ago

they had an issue where bots were spamming channels with NSFW stuff so they had to shut down slack registration

i5okieover 7 years ago

I don’t know any contributors or anyone to mention as sponsor

Hi, is there anyone who used https://www.telepresence.io/ ? I’d like to gather experiences and/or possible alternatives.

Mark Grubeover 7 years ago

I haven’t used telepresence, but I was also researching tools for local dev. This one looks really interesting: https://github.com/windmilleng/tilt

Ryan Smithover 7 years ago(edited)

Any one uses helm plugins? Curious of your experiences with them. Came across this and it was interesting: https://github.com/totango/helm-ssm

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

Love the helm-git and helm-s3 plug-ins

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

Also helm-diff

Ryan Smithover 7 years ago

Anyone using makisu or kaniko for Docker builds?

nutellinoitover 7 years ago

Hello everyone, it is safe to update worker nodes to the latest minor kubernetes ami version? I got EKS master plane on version 1.11.8 and worker nodes on 1.11.5 and 5 autoscaling group attached to the cluster

nutellinoitover 7 years ago

nevermind, i updated ami id, the minor version is still the same, 1.11.5

Hey there guys! Are you still using helmfile? Had some questions regarding the same

Abhsihek Jaisinghover 7 years ago

Sadly, couldn't find any official community / channel for helmfile elsewhere 😞

mmuehlbergerover 7 years ago

Here’s one in this Slack: #helmfile

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

Welcome @Abhsihek Jaisingh ! You’ve come to the right place as @mmuehlberger points out. Looks like @mumoshu is going to update the README for Helmfile so it will be easier for others to find.

can we have an internet facing ALB that routes traffic to k8s worker nodes in private subnets?

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

Yes

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

That's what we are doing

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

https://github.com/cloudposse/helmfiles/blob/master/releases/aws-alb-ingress-controller.yaml

btaiover 7 years ago

man i am having lots of trouble getting alb ingress controller to work on my cluster

btaiover 7 years ago

i know you guys are using kops though (not eks)

btaiover 7 years ago

and i just read this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/network_reqs.html

btaiover 7 years ago

Note

Internet-facing load balancers require a public subnet in your cluster. Worker nodes also require outbound internet access to the Amazon EKS APIs for cluster introspection and node registration at launch time.

Tim Maloneover 7 years ago

how did you set up your VPC? with the cloudformation template referenced in the EKS getting started docs?

Tim Maloneover 7 years ago(edited)

(although i think that only creates public subnets… so might need some additional set up for private subnets for workers, but ALB ingress should still work once you’ve done that…)

btaiover 7 years ago

with terraform

Tim Maloneover 7 years ago

and it’s got the relevant config mentioned in the eks getting started docs? (subnet tags and such)

btaiover 7 years ago

yeah it does

btaiover 7 years ago(edited)

i wrote a blurb in #sig-network I can copy/paste here

Hi all, is anyone of you using https://registry.terraform.io/modules/terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws/2.3.0 to provision EKS cluster? I am experiencing an issue in the service type LoadBalancer. the cluster is not creating the balancer

Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

Let’s move to #terraform-aws-modules . Ping @antonbabenko , he is the creator of the module

caseyover 7 years ago

anyone have suggestions on a good rate-limiting gateway for kubernetes? I have been looking at kong, ambassador, and express-gateway, not sure which one to go with or if there is a better choice

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

@casey istio provides rate limiting (envoy)

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

https://istio.io/docs/tasks/policy-enforcement/rate-limiting/

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

plus with istio you get so much more than just that

jtbrayover 7 years ago

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) I was watching one of Kelsey HT's keynote speeches, when he whips out his phone & starts using Google Assistant to manage some network services (via Istio)!! I'd love to see a well formed write-up discussing similar implementations &/or pitfalls/concerns.
