MetallB KUBERSPRAY

[ALEXX]

MetalLB

MetalLB hooks into your Kubernetes cluster, and provides a network load-balancer implementation. It allows you to create Kubernetes services of type "LoadBalancer" in clusters that don't run on a cloud provider, and thus cannot simply hook into 3rd party products to provide load-balancers. The default operating mode of MetalLB is in "Layer2" but it can also operate in "BGP" mode.

Prerequisites

You have to configure arp_ignore and arp_announce to avoid answering ARP queries from kube-ipvs0 interface for MetalLB to work.

kube_proxy_strict_arp: true

Install

You have to explicitly enable the MetalLB extension.

metallb_enabled: true
metallb_speaker_enabled: true

By default only the MetalLB BGP speaker is allowed to run on control plane nodes. If you have a single node cluster or a cluster where control plane are also worker nodes you may need to enable tolerations for the MetalLB controller:

Код: Выделить всё

metallb_config:
  controller:
    nodeselector:
      kubernetes.io/os: linux
    tolerations:
    - key: "node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane"
      operator: "Equal"
      value: ""
      effect: "NoSchedule"

If you'd like to set additional nodeSelector and tolerations values, you can do so in the following fasion:

      value: ""
      effect: "NoSchedule"

Pools

First you need to specify all of the pools you are going to use:

metallb_config:

  address_pools:

    primary:
      ip_range:
        - 192.0.1.0-192.0.1.254

    pool1:
      ip_range:
        - 192.0.2.1-192.0.2.1
      auto_assign: false # When set to false, you need to explicitly set the loadBalancerIP in the service!

    pool2:
      ip_range:
        - 192.0.3.0/24
      avoid_buggy_ips: true # When set to true, .0 and .255 addresses will be avoided.

Layer2 Mode

Pools that need to be configured in layer2 mode, need to be specified in a list:

    - primary

BGP Mode

When operating in BGP Mode MetalLB needs to have defined upstream peers and link the pool(s) specified above to the correct peer:

metallb_config:

  layer3:
    defaults:

      peer_port: 179 # The TCP port to talk to. Defaults to 179, you shouldn't need to set this in production.
      hold_time: 120s # Requested BGP hold time, per RFC4271.

    communities:
      vpn-only: "1234:1"
      NO_ADVERTISE: "65535:65282"

          communities:

          address_pool:
            - pool1

          # (optional) The source IP address to use when establishing the BGP session. In most cases the source-address field should only be used with per-node peers, i.e. peers with node selectors which select only one node. CURRENTLY NOT SUPPORTED
          source_address: 192.0.2.2

          # (optional) The router ID to use when connecting to this peer. Defaults to the node IP address.
          # Generally only useful when you need to peer with another BGP router running on the same machine as MetalLB.
          router_id: 1.2.3.4

          # (optional) Password for TCPMD5 authenticated BGP sessions offered by some peers.
          password: "changeme"

        peer2:
          peer_address: 192.0.2.2
          peer_asn: 64513

          router_id: 1.2.3.5

          # (optional) Password for TCPMD5 authenticated BGP sessions offered by some peers.
          password: "changeme"

When using calico >= 3.18 you can replace MetalLB speaker by calico Service LoadBalancer IP advertisement. See calico service IPs advertisement documentation. In this scenario you should disable the MetalLB speaker and configure the calico_advertise_service_loadbalancer_ips to match your ip_range

metallb_speaker_enabled: false
metallb_config:
  address_pools:
    primary:
      ip_range:

      auto_assign: true
  layer2:
    - primary
calico_advertise_service_loadbalancer_ips: "{{ metallb_config.address_pools.primary.ip_range }}"

If you have additional loadbalancer IP pool in metallb_config.address_pools , ensure to add them to the list.
