Handle failure cases on startup gracefully to avoid causing cascading errors and poor initialization in other components. Initial errors from config load cause the initializer to pause and hold requests. Return typed errors to better communicate failures to clients. Add code to handle two specific cases - admin wants to bypass initialization defaulting, and mirror pods (which want to bypass initialization because the kubelet owns their lifecycle).
Cluster Federation
Kubernetes Cluster Federation enables users to federate multiple Kubernetes clusters. Please see the user guide and the admin guide for more details about setting up and using the Cluster Federation.
Building Kubernetes Cluster Federation
Please see the Kubernetes Development Guide
for initial setup. Once you have the development environment setup
as explained in that guide, you also need to install jq
Building cluster federation artifacts should be as simple as running:
make build
You can specify the docker registry to tag the image using the KUBE_REGISTRY environment variable. Please make sure that you use the same value in all the subsequent commands.
To push the built docker images to the registry, run:
make push
To initialize the deployment run:
(This pulls the installer images)
make init
To deploy the clusters and install the federation components, edit the
${KUBE_ROOT}/_output/federation/config.json
file to describe your
clusters and run:
make deploy
To turn down the federation components and tear down the clusters run:
make destroy
Ideas for improvement
-
Continue with
destroy
phase even in the face of errors.The bash script sets
set -e errexit
which causes the script to exit at the very first error. This should be the default mode for deploying components but not for destroying/cleanup.
