Kuryr SDN and OpenShift Container Platform

Prior to OpenShift Container Platform 3.10.119, the ability to configure Kuryr SDN is a Technology Preview feature. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs), might not be functionally complete, and Red Hat does not recommend to use them for production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

For more information on Red Hat Technology Preview features support scope, see https://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/techpreview/.

Kuryr (or more specifically Kuryr-Kubernetes) is an SDN solution built using CNI and OpenStack Neutron. Its advantages include being able to use a wide range of Neutron SDN backends and providing inter-connectivity between Kubernetes pods and OpenStack virtual machines (VMs).

Kuryr-Kubernetes and OpenShift Container Platform integration is primarily designed for OpenShift Container Platform clusters running on OpenStack VMs. Kuryr-Kubernetes components are installed as pods on OpenShift Container Platform in the openshift-infra namespace:

  • kuryr-controller - a single service instance, installed on any node. Modeled in OpenShift Container Platform as a Deployment.

  • kuryr-cni - container installing and configuring Kuryr as CNI driver on each OpenShift Container Platform node. Modeled in OpenShift Container Platform as a DaemonSet.

Installation

The system running openshift-ansible must be subscribed to the OSP as well as OCP repositories. The OpenStack integration requires a few extra packages. To install the dependencies, run:

$ sudo yum install -y ansible openshift-ansible python2-shade python-dns \
    python2-heatclient python2-octaviaclient python-openstackclient bind-utils

In the Ansible nodes file, specify the following parameters in order to set up Kuryr-Kubernetes as the network plug-in:

 # Enable Kuryr.
 openshift_use_openshift_sdn=False
 openshift_use_kuryr=True
 os_sdn_network_plugin_name=cni

 # Set userspace so that there are no iptables remains.
 openshift_node_proxy_mode='userspace'

 # Keystone URL.
 kuryr_openstack_auth_url=http://127.0.0.1/identity

 # OpenStack domain name of user owning Kuryr resources.
 kuryr_openstack_user_domain_name=default

 # OpenStack project name of user owning Kuryr resources.
 kuryr_openstack_user_project_name=admin

 # OpenStack project id for Kuryr resources.
 kuryr_openstack_project_id=ec0b31802fd043c08bc15b74d2f9a3d3

 # OpenStack username that will own kuryr resources.
 kuryr_openstack_username=admin

 # Password for that user.
 kuryr_openstack_password=password

 # Default Neutron security groups' IDs for Kubernetes pods
 kuryr_openstack_pod_sg_id=f74c83a8-a520-421a-930e-21b6cd098c6a,01f85594-9950-4ded-a92c-5ad546a41188

 # Default Neutron subnet ID for Kubernetes pods.
 kuryr_openstack_pod_subnet_id=c85cdee6-0ed1-4d8f-ae61-7afa4674b311

 # Default OpenStack project ID for Kubernetes resources.
 kuryr_openstack_pod_project_id=ec0b31802fd043c08bc15b74d2f9a3d3

 # Neutron subnet ID for Kubernetes worker node VMs.
 kuryr_openstack_worker_nodes_subnet_id=477cfa49-e641-4d31-a7b5-5bc834743f61

 # Default Neutron subnet ID for Kubernetes services.
 kuryr_openstack_service_subnet_id=3b31a106-4084-4db9-bc0c-00b97afe186e

You must also specify an OpenStack cloud provider as described in the OpenStack configuration documentation.

Prior to the installation, you must also provide a DNS server the OpenShift Container Platform nodes will be using for internal name resolution. OpenStack does not provide a node name resolution out of the box. In the following example, 10.20.30.40 is the IP address of the DNS server:

openshift_openstack_dns_nameservers=[10.20.30.40]

If the DNS server supports remote updates via nsupdate (RFC 2136), the playbooks can populate it automatically, if you add the following configuration:

openshift_openstack_external_nsupdate_keys={private: {"key_secret": "<nsupdate key>", "key_algorithm": "<nsupdate key algorithm>", "key_name": "<nsupdate key name>", "server": 10.20.30.40}}

Finally, install OpenShift Container Platform by running the provision_install.yml playbook. You must specify the dynamic inventory file, inventory.py, and the the path to the Ansible nodes file that you created:

$ ansible-playbook --user openshift -i /usr/share/ansible/openshift-ansible/playbooks/openstack/inventory.py -i ansible-nodes.txt /usr/share/ansible/openshift-ansible/playbooks/openstack/openshift-cluster/provision_install.yml

If you want to do any custom setup on the created nodes before the OpenShift Container Platform installation, you can run the provision.yml and install.yml playbooks separately. provision.yml will create the OpenStack resources (nodes, networks, and so on) and install.yml will install OpenShift Container Platform.

Verification

Once the installation of OpenShift Container Platform is finished, you can check if Kuryr pods are deployed successfully:

$ oc -n openshift-infra get pods -o wide

kuryr-cni pods should run on every OpenShift Container Platform node. Single kuryr-controller instances should run on any of the nodes.

Network policies, namespace isolation and nodeport services are not supported when Kuryr SDN is enabled.
