Day 4 - Manage Kubernetes Add-Ons for Multiple Clusters Using Cluster Run-Time State
In summary, during the demonstration, we saw how Zelos, a Kubernetes management system, works. Here are the key points:
-
The Drift Detection Manager detects inconsistencies between the configured and actual cluster states in the Management Cluster, and it reconciles the resources to restore the desired state.
-
When checking the Kubernetes versions of various registered clusters, we noticed that most were running versions higher than 127, except for Civo Cluster 1 (version 1264).
-
A new cluster profile was prepared to deploy Prometheus and Grafana Elm Charts in any cluster with the label "deploy_prich." However, none of the existing clusters had this label.
-
To ensure that clusters running Kubernetes versions greater than or equal to 1270 (including Civo Cluster 3, GK Clusters 1 and 2) would deploy Prometheus and Grafana, a classifier instance was deployed that would add the "deploy_prometheus" label to such clusters.
-
After the classifier instance was deployed, it added the "deploy_prometheus" label to clusters meeting the criteria (Civo Cluster 3, GK Clusters 1 and 2).
-
When a cluster profile is deleted (like deleting the Prometheus-Grafana profile), by default, resources deployed on a cluster that no longer matches the profile will be removed from all clusters. This behavior can be configured to leave deployed resources in place.
Additional notes:
- For more information about Zelos, Grafana, and Kubernetes, you can visit the respective repositories and project documentation provided in the demo.
- The presenter is available on LinkedIn for anyone interested in devs, Kubernetes, and Project Fels.
PURPOSE
- The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate how Zelos, a Kubernetes management platform, can be used to manage clusters with different environments and configurations.
- You will show how to deploy cluster profiles, which are collections of Helm charts that define the configuration for a specific environment or use case.
DEMO
- You demonstrated three cluster profile instances:
- "Caverno" - deploys Caverno El release version 3.0.1 in clusters matching the cluster selector environment functional prediction.
- "Engine X" - deploys Engine X Helm chart with continuous sync mode and drift detection.
- A classifier instance that detects clusters running a Kubernetes version greater than or equal to 1270 and adds the label "deploy promethus".
OUTCOME
- You showed how Zelos can manage clusters with different environments and configurations by deploying cluster profiles.
- You demonstrated the concept of drift detection, where Zelos detects changes to resources deployed in a cluster and reconciles them back to their original state.
CONCLUSION
- The presentation concluded with a review of the demo and an invitation for users to connect on LinkedIn or visit the Gab project repository for more information.
