{{% capture overview %}}
Kubernetes requires PKI certificates for authentication over TLS.
If you install Kubernetes with [kubeadm](/docs/reference/setup-tools/kubeadm/kubeadm/), the certificates that your cluster requires are automatically generated.
You can also generate your own certificates -- for example, to keep your private keys more secure by not storing them on the API server.
This page explains the certificates that your cluster requires.
{{% /capture %}}
{{% capture body %}}
## How certificates are used by your cluster
Kubernetes requires PKI for the following operations:
* Client certificates for the kubelet to authenticate to the API server
* Server certificate for the API server endpoint
* Client certificates for administrators of the cluster to authenticate to the API server
* Client certificates for the API server to talk to the kubelets
* Client certificate for the API server to talk to etcd
* Client certificate/kubeconfig for the controller manager to talk to the API server
* Client certificate/kubeconfig for the scheduler to talk to the API server.
* Client and server certificates for the [front-proxy][proxy]
{{< note >}}
`front-proxy` certificates are required only if you run kube-proxy to support [an extension API server](/docs/tasks/access-kubernetes-api/setup-extension-api-server/).
{{< /note >}}
etcd also implements mutual TLS to authenticate clients and peers.
## Where certificates are stored
If you install Kubernetes with kubeadm, certificates are stored in `/etc/kubernetes/pki`. All paths in this documentation are relative to that directory.
## Configure certificates manually
If you don't want kubeadm to generate the required certificates, you can create them in either of the following ways.
### Single root CA
You can create a single root CA, controlled by an administrator. This root CA can then create multiple intermediate CAs, and delegate all further creation to Kubernetes itself.
Required CAs:
| path | Default CN | description |
|------------------------|---------------------------|----------------------------------|
| ca.crt,key | kubernetes-ca | Kubernetes general CA |
| etcd/ca.crt,key | etcd-ca | For all etcd-related functions |
| front-proxy-ca.crt,key | kubernetes-front-proxy-ca | For the [front-end proxy][proxy] |
### All certificates
If you don't wish to copy these private keys to your API servers, you can generate all certificates yourself.
Required certificates:
| Default CN | Parent CA | O (in Subject) | kind | hosts (SAN) |
|-------------------------------|---------------------------|----------------|----------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
| kube-etcd | etcd-ca | | server, client | `localhost`, `127.0.0.1` |
| kube-etcd-peer | etcd-ca | | server, client | `<hostname>`, `<Host_IP>`, `localhost`, `127.0.0.1` |
| kube-etcd-healthcheck-client | etcd-ca | | client | |
| kube-apiserver-etcd-client | etcd-ca | system:masters | client | |
| kube-apiserver | kubernetes-ca | | server | `<hostname>`, `<Host_IP>`, `<advertise_IP>`, `[1]` |
| kube-apiserver-kubelet-client | kubernetes-ca | system:masters | client | |
| front-proxy-client | kubernetes-front-proxy-ca | | client | |
[1]: `kubernetes`, `kubernetes.default`, `kubernetes.default.svc`, `kubernetes.default.svc.cluster`, `kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local`
where `kind` maps to one or more of the [x509 key usage][usage] types:
| kind | Key usage |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| server | digital signature, key encipherment, server auth |
| client | digital signature, key encipherment, client auth |
### Certificate paths
Certificates should be placed in a recommended path (as used by [kubeadm][kubeadm]). Paths should be specified using the given argument regardless of location.
| Default CN | recommended key path | recommended cert path | command | key argument | cert argument |
|------------------------------|------------------------------|-----------------------------|----------------|------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| etcd-ca | etcd/ca.key | etcd/ca.crt | kube-apiserver | | --etcd-cafile |
| etcd-client | apiserver-etcd-client.key | apiserver-etcd-client.crt | kube-apiserver | --etcd-keyfile | --etcd-certfile |
| kubernetes-ca | ca.key | ca.crt | kube-apiserver | | --client-ca-file |
| kube-apiserver | apiserver.key | apiserver.crt | kube-apiserver | --tls-private-key-file | --tls-cert-file |
| apiserver-kubelet-client | apiserver-kubelet-client.key | apiserver-kubelet-client.crt| kube-apiserver | | --kubelet-client-certificate |
| front-proxy-ca | front-proxy-ca.key | front-proxy-ca.crt | kube-apiserver | | --requestheader-client-ca-file |
| front-proxy-client | front-proxy-client.key | front-proxy-client.crt | kube-apiserver | --proxy-client-key-file | --proxy-client-cert-file |
| | | | | | |
| etcd-ca | etcd/ca.key | etcd/ca.crt | etcd | | --trusted-ca-file, --peer-trusted-ca-file |
| kube-etcd | etcd/server.key | etcd/server.crt | etcd | --key-file | --cert-file |
| kube-etcd-peer | etcd/peer.key | etcd/peer.crt | etcd | --peer-key-file | --peer-cert-file |
| etcd-ca | | etcd/ca.crt | etcdctl[2] | | --cacert |
| kube-etcd-healthcheck-client | etcd/healthcheck-client.key | etcd/healthcheck-client.crt | etcdctl[2] | --key | --cert |
[2]: For a liveness probe, if self-hosted
## Configure certificates for user accounts
You must manually configure these administrator account and service accounts:
| filename | credential name | Default CN | O (in Subject) |
|-------------------------|----------------------------|--------------------------------|----------------|
| admin.conf | default-admin | kubernetes-admin | system:masters |
| kubelet.conf | default-auth | system:node:`<nodeName>` (see note) | system:nodes |
| controller-manager.conf | default-controller-manager | system:kube-controller-manager | |
| scheduler.conf | default-manager | system:kube-scheduler | |
{{< note >}}
The value of `<nodeName>` for `kubelet.conf` **must** match precisely the value of the node name provided by the kubelet as it registers with the apiserver. For further details, read the [Node Authorization](/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/node/).
{{< /note >}}
1. For each config, generate an x509 cert/key pair with the given CN and O.
1. Run `kubectl` as follows for each config:
```shell
KUBECONFIG=<filename> kubectl config set-cluster default-cluster --server=https://<host ip>:6443 --certificate-authority <path-to-kubernetes-ca> --embed-certs
KUBECONFIG=<filename> kubectl config set-credentials <credential-name> --client-key <path-to-key>.pem --client-certificate <path-to-cert>.pem --embed-certs
KUBECONFIG=<filename> kubectl config set-context default-system --cluster default-cluster --user <credential-name>
KUBECONFIG=<filename> kubectl config use-context default-system
```
These files are used as follows:
| filename | command | comment |
|-------------------------|-------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| admin.conf | kubectl | Configures administrator user for the cluster |
| kubelet.conf | kubelet | One required for each node in the cluster. |
| controller-manager.conf | kube-controller-manager | Must be added to manifest in `manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml` |
| scheduler.conf | kube-scheduler | Must be added to manifest in `manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml` |

title: Building large clusters

## Support
At {{< param "version" >}}, Kubernetes supports clusters with up to 5000 nodes. More specifically, we support configurations that meet *all* of the following criteria:
* No more than 5000 nodes
* No more than 150000 total pods
* No more than 300000 total containers
* No more than 100 pods per node
<br>
{{< toc >}}
## Setup
A cluster is a set of nodes (physical or virtual machines) running Kubernetes agents, managed by a "master" (the cluster-level control plane).
Normally the number of nodes in a cluster is controlled by the value `NUM_NODES` in the platform-specific `config-default.sh` file (for example, see [GCE's `config-default.sh`](http://releases.k8s.io/{{< param "githubbranch" >}}/cluster/gce/config-default.sh)).
Simply changing that value to something very large, however, may cause the setup script to fail for many cloud providers. A GCE deployment, for example, will run in to quota issues and fail to bring the cluster up.
When setting up a large Kubernetes cluster, the following issues must be considered.
### Quota Issues
To avoid running into cloud provider quota issues, when creating a cluster with many nodes, consider:
* Increase the quota for things like CPU, IPs, etc.
* In [GCE, for example,](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/resource-quotas) you'll want to increase the quota for:
* CPUs
* VM instances
* Total persistent disk reserved
* In-use IP addresses
* Firewall Rules
* Forwarding rules
* Routes
* Target pools
* Gating the setup script so that it brings up new node VMs in smaller batches with waits in between, because some cloud providers rate limit the creation of VMs.
### Etcd storage
To improve performance of large clusters, we store events in a separate dedicated etcd instance.
When creating a cluster, existing salt scripts:
* start and configure additional etcd instance
* configure api-server to use it for storing events
### Size of master and master components
On GCE/Google Kubernetes Engine, and AWS, `kube-up` automatically configures the proper VM size for your master depending on the number of nodes
in your cluster. On other providers, you will need to configure it manually. For reference, the sizes we use on GCE are
* 1-5 nodes: n1-standard-1
* 6-10 nodes: n1-standard-2
* 11-100 nodes: n1-standard-4
* 101-250 nodes: n1-standard-8
* 251-500 nodes: n1-standard-16
* more than 500 nodes: n1-standard-32
And the sizes we use on AWS are
* 1-5 nodes: m3.medium
* 6-10 nodes: m3.large
* 11-100 nodes: m3.xlarge
* 101-250 nodes: m3.2xlarge
* 251-500 nodes: c4.4xlarge
* more than 500 nodes: c4.8xlarge
{{< note >}}
On Google Kubernetes Engine, the size of the master node adjusts automatically based on the size of your cluster. For more information, see [this blog post](https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2017/11/Cutting-Cluster-Management-Fees-on-Google-Kubernetes-Engine.html).
On AWS, master node sizes are currently set at cluster startup time and do not change, even if you later scale your cluster up or down by manually removing or adding nodes or using a cluster autoscaler.
{{< /note >}}
### Addon Resources
To prevent memory leaks or other resource issues in [cluster addons](https://releases.k8s.io/{{< param "githubbranch" >}}/cluster/addons) from consuming all the resources available on a node, Kubernetes sets resource limits on addon containers to limit the CPU and Memory resources they can consume (See PR [#10653](http://pr.k8s.io/10653/files) and [#10778](http://pr.k8s.io/10778/files)).
For example:
```yaml
containers:
- name: fluentd-cloud-logging
image: k8s.gcr.io/fluentd-gcp:1.16
resources:
limits:
cpu: 100m
memory: 200Mi
```
Except for Heapster, these limits are static and are based on data we collected from addons running on 4-node clusters (see [#10335](http://issue.k8s.io/10335#issuecomment-117861225)). The addons consume a lot more resources when running on large deployment clusters (see [#5880](http://issue.k8s.io/5880#issuecomment-113984085)). So, if a large cluster is deployed without adjusting these values, the addons may continuously get killed because they keep hitting the limits.
To avoid running into cluster addon resource issues, when creating a cluster with many nodes, consider the following:
* Scale memory and CPU limits for each of the following addons, if used, as you scale up the size of cluster (there is one replica of each handling the entire cluster so memory and CPU usage tends to grow proportionally with size/load on cluster):
* [InfluxDB and Grafana](http://releases.k8s.io/{{< param "githubbranch" >}}/cluster/addons/cluster-monitoring/influxdb/influxdb-grafana-controller.yaml)
* [kubedns, dnsmasq, and sidecar](http://releases.k8s.io/{{< param "githubbranch" >}}/cluster/addons/dns/kube-dns/kube-dns.yaml.in)
* [Kibana](http://releases.k8s.io/{{< param "githubbranch" >}}/cluster/addons/fluentd-elasticsearch/kibana-deployment.yaml)
* Scale number of replicas for the following addons, if used, along with the size of cluster (there are multiple replicas of each so increasing replicas should help handle increased load, but, since load per replica also increases slightly, also consider increasing CPU/memory limits):
* [elasticsearch](http://releases.k8s.io/{{< param "githubbranch" >}}/cluster/addons/fluentd-elasticsearch/es-statefulset.yaml)
* Increase memory and CPU limits slightly for each of the following addons, if used, along with the size of cluster (there is one replica per node but CPU/memory usage increases slightly along with cluster load/size as well):
* [FluentD with ElasticSearch Plugin](http://releases.k8s.io/{{< param "githubbranch" >}}/cluster/addons/fluentd-elasticsearch/fluentd-es-ds.yaml)
* [FluentD with GCP Plugin](http://releases.k8s.io/{{< param "githubbranch" >}}/cluster/addons/fluentd-gcp/fluentd-gcp-ds.yaml)
Heapster's resource limits are set dynamically based on the initial size of your cluster (see [#16185](http://issue.k8s.io/16185)
and [#22940](http://issue.k8s.io/22940)). If you find that Heapster is running
out of resources, you should adjust the formulas that compute heapster memory request (see those PRs for details).
For directions on how to detect if addon containers are hitting resource limits, see the [Troubleshooting section of Compute Resources](/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-compute-resources-container/#troubleshooting).
In the [future](http://issue.k8s.io/13048), we anticipate to set all cluster addon resource limits based on cluster size, and to dynamically adjust them if you grow or shrink your cluster.
We welcome PRs that implement those features.
### Allowing minor node failure at startup
For various reasons (see [#18969](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/18969) for more details) running
`kube-up.sh` with a very large `NUM_NODES` may fail due to a very small number of nodes not coming up properly.
Currently you have two choices: restart the cluster (`kube-down.sh` and then `kube-up.sh` again), or before
running `kube-up.sh` set the environment variable `ALLOWED_NOTREADY_NODES` to whatever value you feel comfortable
with. This will allow `kube-up.sh` to succeed with fewer than `NUM_NODES` coming up. Depending on the
reason for the failure, those additional nodes may join later or the cluster may remain at a size of
`NUM_NODES - ALLOWED_NOTREADY_NODES`.

title: Running in multiple zones

{{% capture overview %}}
This page describes how to run a cluster in multiple zones.
{{% /capture %}}
{{% capture body %}}
## Introduction
Kubernetes 1.2 adds support for running a single cluster in multiple failure zones
(GCE calls them simply "zones", AWS calls them "availability zones", here we'll refer to them as "zones").
This is a lightweight version of a broader Cluster Federation feature (previously referred to by the affectionate
nickname ["Ubernetes"](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/{{< param "githubbranch" >}}/contributors/design-proposals/multicluster/federation.md)).
Full Cluster Federation allows combining separate
Kubernetes clusters running in different regions or cloud providers
(or on-premises data centers). However, many
users simply want to run a more available Kubernetes cluster in multiple zones
of their single cloud provider, and this is what the multizone support in 1.2 allows
(this previously went by the nickname "Ubernetes Lite").
Multizone support is deliberately limited: a single Kubernetes cluster can run
in multiple zones, but only within the same region (and cloud provider). Only
GCE and AWS are currently supported automatically (though it is easy to
add similar support for other clouds or even bare metal, by simply arranging
for the appropriate labels to be added to nodes and volumes).
## Functionality
When nodes are started, the kubelet automatically adds labels to them with
zone information.
Kubernetes will automatically spread the pods in a replication controller
or service across nodes in a single-zone cluster (to reduce the impact of
failures.) With multiple-zone clusters, this spreading behavior is
extended across zones (to reduce the impact of zone failures.) (This is
achieved via `SelectorSpreadPriority`). This is a best-effort
placement, and so if the zones in your cluster are heterogeneous
(e.g. different numbers of nodes, different types of nodes, or
different pod resource requirements), this might prevent perfectly
even spreading of your pods across zones. If desired, you can use
homogeneous zones (same number and types of nodes) to reduce the
probability of unequal spreading.
When persistent volumes are created, the `PersistentVolumeLabel`
admission controller automatically adds zone labels to them. The scheduler (via the
`VolumeZonePredicate` predicate) will then ensure that pods that claim a
given volume are only placed into the same zone as that volume, as volumes
cannot be attached across zones.
## Limitations
There are some important limitations of the multizone support:
* We assume that the different zones are located close to each other in the
network, so we don't perform any zone-aware routing. In particular, traffic
that goes via services might cross zones (even if some pods backing that service
exist in the same zone as the client), and this may incur additional latency and cost.
* Volume zone-affinity will only work with a `PersistentVolume`, and will not
work if you directly specify an EBS volume in the pod spec (for example).
* Clusters cannot span clouds or regions (this functionality will require full
federation support).
* Although your nodes are in multiple zones, kube-up currently builds
a single master node by default. While services are highly
available and can tolerate the loss of a zone, the control plane is
located in a single zone. Users that want a highly available control
plane should follow the [high availability](/docs/admin/high-availability) instructions.
### Volume limitations
The following limitations are addressed with [topology-aware volume binding](/docs/concepts/storage/storage-classes/#volume-binding-mode).
* StatefulSet volume zone spreading when using dynamic provisioning is currently not compatible with
pod affinity or anti-affinity policies.
* If the name of the StatefulSet contains dashes ("-"), volume zone spreading
may not provide a uniform distribution of storage across zones.
* When specifying multiple PVCs in a Deployment or Pod spec, the StorageClass
needs to be configured for a specific single zone, or the PVs need to be
statically provisioned in a specific zone. Another workaround is to use a
StatefulSet, which will ensure that all the volumes for a replica are
provisioned in the same zone.
## Walkthrough
We're now going to walk through setting up and using a multi-zone
cluster on both GCE & AWS. To do so, you bring up a full cluster
(specifying `MULTIZONE=true`), and then you add nodes in additional zones
by running `kube-up` again (specifying `KUBE_USE_EXISTING_MASTER=true`).
### Bringing up your cluster
Create the cluster as normal, but pass MULTIZONE to tell the cluster to manage multiple zones; creating nodes in us-central1-a.
GCE:
```shell
curl -sS https://get.k8s.io | MULTIZONE=true KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=gce KUBE_GCE_ZONE=us-central1-a NUM_NODES=3 bash
```
AWS:
```shell
curl -sS https://get.k8s.io | MULTIZONE=true KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=aws KUBE_AWS_ZONE=us-west-2a NUM_NODES=3 bash
```
This step brings up a cluster as normal, still running in a single zone
(but `MULTIZONE=true` has enabled multi-zone capabilities).
### Nodes are labeled
View the nodes; you can see that they are labeled with zone information.
They are all in `us-central1-a` (GCE) or `us-west-2a` (AWS) so far. The
labels are `failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region` for the region,
and `failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone` for the zone:
```shell
kubectl get nodes --show-labels
```
The output is similar to this:
```shell
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION LABELS
kubernetes-master Ready,SchedulingDisabled <none> 6m v1.13.0 beta.kubernetes.io/instance-type=n1-standard-1,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region=us-central1,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone=us-central1-a,kubernetes.io/hostname=kubernetes-master
kubernetes-minion-87j9 Ready <none> 6m v1.13.0 beta.kubernetes.io/instance-type=n1-standard-2,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region=us-central1,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone=us-central1-a,kubernetes.io/hostname=kubernetes-minion-87j9
kubernetes-minion-9vlv Ready <none> 6m v1.13.0 beta.kubernetes.io/instance-type=n1-standard-2,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region=us-central1,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone=us-central1-a,kubernetes.io/hostname=kubernetes-minion-9vlv
kubernetes-minion-a12q Ready <none> 6m v1.13.0 beta.kubernetes.io/instance-type=n1-standard-2,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region=us-central1,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone=us-central1-a,kubernetes.io/hostname=kubernetes-minion-a12q
```
### Add more nodes in a second zone
Let's add another set of nodes to the existing cluster, reusing the
existing master, running in a different zone (us-central1-b or us-west-2b).
We run kube-up again, but by specifying `KUBE_USE_EXISTING_MASTER=true`
kube-up will not create a new master, but will reuse one that was previously
created instead.
GCE:
```shell
KUBE_USE_EXISTING_MASTER=true MULTIZONE=true KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=gce KUBE_GCE_ZONE=us-central1-b NUM_NODES=3 kubernetes/cluster/kube-up.sh
```
On AWS we also need to specify the network CIDR for the additional
subnet, along with the master internal IP address:
```shell
KUBE_USE_EXISTING_MASTER=true MULTIZONE=true KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=aws KUBE_AWS_ZONE=us-west-2b NUM_NODES=3 KUBE_SUBNET_CIDR=172.20.1.0/24 MASTER_INTERNAL_IP=172.20.0.9 kubernetes/cluster/kube-up.sh
```
View the nodes again; 3 more nodes should have launched and be tagged
in us-central1-b:
```shell
kubectl get nodes --show-labels
```
The output is similar to this:
```shell
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION LABELS

kubernetes-minion-pp2f Ready <none> 2m v1.13.0 beta.kubernetes.io/instance-type=n1-standard-2,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region=us-central1,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone=us-central1-b,kubernetes.io/hostname=kubernetes-minion-pp2f
kubernetes-minion-wf8i Ready <none> 2m v1.13.0 beta.kubernetes.io/instance-type=n1-standard-2,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region=us-central1,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone=us-central1-b,kubernetes.io/hostname=kubernetes-minion-wf8i
```
### Volume affinity
Create a volume using the dynamic volume creation (only PersistentVolumes are supported for zone affinity):
```json
kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
{
"apiVersion": "v1",
"kind": "PersistentVolumeClaim",
"metadata": {
"name": "claim1",
"annotations": {
"volume.alpha.kubernetes.io/storage-class": "foo"
}
},
"spec": {
"accessModes": [
"ReadWriteOnce"
],
"resources": {
"requests": {
"storage": "5Gi"
}
}
}
}
EOF
```
{{< note >}}
For version 1.3+ Kubernetes will distribute dynamic PV claims across
the configured zones. For version 1.2, dynamic persistent volumes were
always created in the zone of the cluster master
(here us-central1-a / us-west-2a); that issue
([#23330](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/23330))
was addressed in 1.3+.
{{< /note >}}
Now let's validate that Kubernetes automatically labeled the zone & region the PV was created in.
```shell
kubectl get pv --show-labels
```
The output is similar to this:
```shell
NAME CAPACITY ACCESSMODES RECLAIM POLICY STATUS CLAIM STORAGECLASS REASON AGE LABELS
pv-gce-mj4gm 5Gi RWO Retain Bound default/claim1 manual 46s failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region=us-central1,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone=us-central1-a
```
So now we will create a pod that uses the persistent volume claim.
Because GCE PDs / AWS EBS volumes cannot be attached across zones,
this means that this pod can only be created in the same zone as the volume:
```yaml
kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: mypod
spec:
containers:
- name: myfrontend
image: nginx
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: "/var/www/html"
name: mypd
volumes:
- name: mypd
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: claim1
EOF
```
Note that the pod was automatically created in the same zone as the volume, as
cross-zone attachments are not generally permitted by cloud providers:
```shell
kubectl describe pod mypod | grep Node
```
```shell
Node: kubernetes-minion-9vlv/10.240.0.5
```
And check node labels:
```shell
kubectl get node kubernetes-minion-9vlv --show-labels
```

```
### Pods are spread across zones
Pods in a replication controller or service are automatically spread
across zones. First, let's launch more nodes in a third zone:
GCE:
```shell
KUBE_USE_EXISTING_MASTER=true MULTIZONE=true KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=gce KUBE_GCE_ZONE=us-central1-f NUM_NODES=3 kubernetes/cluster/kube-up.sh
```
AWS:
```shell
KUBE_USE_EXISTING_MASTER=true MULTIZONE=true KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=aws KUBE_AWS_ZONE=us-west-2c NUM_NODES=3 KUBE_SUBNET_CIDR=172.20.2.0/24 MASTER_INTERNAL_IP=172.20.0.9 kubernetes/cluster/kube-up.sh
```
Verify that you now have nodes in 3 zones:
```shell
kubectl get nodes --show-labels
```
Create the guestbook-go example, which includes an RC of size 3, running a simple web app:
```shell
find kubernetes/examples/guestbook-go/ -name '*.json' | xargs -I {} kubectl apply -f {}
```
The pods should be spread across all 3 zones:
```shell
kubectl describe pod -l app=guestbook | grep Node
```
```shell
Node: kubernetes-minion-9vlv/10.240.0.5
Node: kubernetes-minion-281d/10.240.0.8
Node: kubernetes-minion-olsh/10.240.0.11
```
```shell
kubectl get node kubernetes-minion-9vlv kubernetes-minion-281d kubernetes-minion-olsh --show-labels
```
```shell
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION LABELS
kubernetes-minion-9vlv Ready <none> 34m v1.13.0 beta.kubernetes.io/instance-type=n1-standard-2,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region=us-central1,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone=us-central1-a,kubernetes.io/hostname=kubernetes-minion-9vlv
kubernetes-minion-281d Ready <none> 20m v1.13.0 beta.kubernetes.io/instance-type=n1-standard-2,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region=us-central1,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone=us-central1-b,kubernetes.io/hostname=kubernetes-minion-281d
kubernetes-minion-olsh Ready <none> 3m v1.13.0 beta.kubernetes.io/instance-type=n1-standard-2,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region=us-central1,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone=us-central1-f,kubernetes.io/hostname=kubernetes-minion-olsh
```
Load-balancers span all zones in a cluster; the guestbook-go example
includes an example load-balanced service:
```shell
kubectl describe service guestbook | grep LoadBalancer.Ingress
```
The output is similar to this:
```shell
LoadBalancer Ingress: 130.211.126.21
```
Set the above IP:
```shell
export IP=130.211.126.21
```
Explore with curl via IP:
```shell
curl -s http://${IP}:3000/env | grep HOSTNAME
```
The output is similar to this:
```shell
"HOSTNAME": "guestbook-44sep",
```
Again, explore multiple times:
```shell
(for i in `seq 20`; do curl -s http://${IP}:3000/env | grep HOSTNAME; done) | sort | uniq
```
The output is similar to this:
```shell
"HOSTNAME": "guestbook-44sep",
"HOSTNAME": "guestbook-hum5n",
"HOSTNAME": "guestbook-ppm40",
```
The load balancer correctly targets all the pods, even though they are in multiple zones.
### Shutting down the cluster
When you're done, clean up:
GCE:
```shell
KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=gce KUBE_USE_EXISTING_MASTER=true KUBE_GCE_ZONE=us-central1-f kubernetes/cluster/kube-down.sh
KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=gce KUBE_USE_EXISTING_MASTER=true KUBE_GCE_ZONE=us-central1-b kubernetes/cluster/kube-down.sh
KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=gce KUBE_GCE_ZONE=us-central1-a kubernetes/cluster/kube-down.sh
```
AWS:
```shell
KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=aws KUBE_USE_EXISTING_MASTER=true KUBE_AWS_ZONE=us-west-2c kubernetes/cluster/kube-down.sh
KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=aws KUBE_USE_EXISTING_MASTER=true KUBE_AWS_ZONE=us-west-2b kubernetes/cluster/kube-down.sh
KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=aws KUBE_AWS_ZONE=us-west-2a kubernetes/cluster/kube-down.sh
```

## Node Conformance Test
*Node conformance test* is a containerized test framework that provides a system
verification and functionality test for a node. The test validates whether the
node meets the minimum requirements for Kubernetes; a node that passes the test
is qualified to join a Kubernetes cluster.
## Limitations
In Kubernetes version 1.5, node conformance test has the following limitations:
* Node conformance test only supports Docker as the container runtime.
## Node Prerequisite
To run node conformance test, a node must satisfy the same prerequisites as a
standard Kubernetes node. At a minimum, the node should have the following
daemons installed:
* Container Runtime (Docker)
* Kubelet
## Running Node Conformance Test
To run the node conformance test, perform the following steps:
1. Point your Kubelet to localhost `--api-servers="http://localhost:8080"`,
because the test framework starts a local master to test Kubelet. There are some
other Kubelet flags you may care:
* `--pod-cidr`: If you are using `kubenet`, you should specify an arbitrary CIDR
to Kubelet, for example `--pod-cidr=10.180.0.0/24`.
* `--cloud-provider`: If you are using `--cloud-provider=gce`, you should
remove the flag to run the test.
2. Run the node conformance test with command:
```shell
# $CONFIG_DIR is the pod manifest path of your Kubelet.
# $LOG_DIR is the test output path.
sudo docker run -it --rm --privileged --net=host \
-v /:/rootfs -v $CONFIG_DIR:$CONFIG_DIR -v $LOG_DIR:/var/result \
k8s.gcr.io/node-test:0.2
```
## Running Node Conformance Test for Other Architectures
Kubernetes also provides node conformance test docker images for other
architectures:
Arch | Image |
--------|:-----------------:|
amd64 | node-test-amd64 |
arm | node-test-arm |
arm64 | node-test-arm64 |
## Running Selected Test
To run specific tests, overwrite the environment variable `FOCUS` with the
regular expression of tests you want to run.
```shell
sudo docker run -it --rm --privileged --net=host \
-v /:/rootfs:ro -v $CONFIG_DIR:$CONFIG_DIR -v $LOG_DIR:/var/result \
-e FOCUS=MirrorPod \ # Only run MirrorPod test
k8s.gcr.io/node-test:0.2
```
To skip specific tests, overwrite the environment variable `SKIP` with the
regular expression of tests you want to skip.
```shell
sudo docker run -it --rm --privileged --net=host \
-v /:/rootfs:ro -v $CONFIG_DIR:$CONFIG_DIR -v $LOG_DIR:/var/result \
-e SKIP=MirrorPod \ # Run all conformance tests but skip MirrorPod test
k8s.gcr.io/node-test:0.2
```
Node conformance test is a containerized version of [node e2e test](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/{{< param "githubbranch" >}}/contributors/devel/e2e-node-tests.md).
By default, it runs all conformance tests.
Theoretically, you can run any node e2e test if you configure the container and
mount required volumes properly. But **it is strongly recommended to only run conformance
test**, because it requires much more complex configuration to run non-conformance test.
## Caveats
* The test leaves some docker images on the node, including the node conformance
test image and images of containers used in the functionality
test.
* The test leaves dead containers on the node. These containers are created
during the functionality test.
