**Warning:** While it is *possible* to change the configuration by

updating the ConfigMap in-place, this causes all Kubelets configured with

that ConfigMap to update simultaneously. It is much safer to treat ConfigMaps

The Node Authorizer does not yet pay attention to which ConfigMaps are assigned

to which Nodes. If you currently use the Node authorizer, your Kubelets will not

be automatically granted permission to download their respective ConfigMaps.
|
||||
### Automatic RBAC rules for Node Authorizer

||||
|
||||
The temporary workaround used in this document is to manually create the RBAC
|
||||
Roles and RoleBindings for each ConfigMap. The Node Authorizer will be extended
|
||||
before the Dynamic Kubelet Configuration feature graduates from alpha, so doing

this in production should never be necessary.

In the future, the Kubelet will be bootstrapped from a file on disk
|
||||
Ideally, the Kubelet would be bootstrapped from a file on disk
|
||||
and you could edit this file (which could also be version-controlled),
|
||||
to create the first Kubelet ConfigMap
|
||||
(see [Set Kubelet parameters via a config file](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubelet-config-file)),
|

and you will simply edit a copy of this file (which, as a best practice, should
|
||||
live in version control) while creating the first Kubelet ConfigMap. Today,
|
||||
however, the Kubelet is still bootstrapped with command-line flags. Fortunately,
|
||||
there is a dirty trick you can use to generate a config file containing a Node's
|
||||
current configuration. The trick involves accessing the Kubelet server's `configz`
|
||||
endpoint via the kubectl proxy. This endpoint, in its current implementation, is
|
||||
intended to be used only as a debugging aid, which is part of why this is a
|
||||
dirty trick. The endpoint may be improved in the future, but until then
|
||||
it should not be relied on for production scenarios.
|
||||
This trick also requires the `jq` command to be installed on your machine,
|
||||
for unpacking and editing the JSON response from the endpoint.
|
||||
Currently, the Kubelet is bootstrapped with **a combination of this file and command-line flags**
|
||||
that can override the configuration in the file.
|
||||
As a workaround, you can generate a config file containing a Node's current
|
||||
configuration by accessing the Kubelet server's `configz` endpoint via the
|
||||
kubectl proxy. This endpoint, in its current implementation, is intended to be
|
||||
used only as a debugging aid. Do not rely on the behavior of this endpoint for
|
||||
production scenarios. The examples below use the `jq` command to streamline
|
||||
working with JSON. To follow the tasks as written, you need to have `jq`
|
||||
installed, but you can adapt the tasks if you prefer to extract the
|
||||
`kubeletconfig` subobject manually.
|
||||
|
||||
Do the following to generate the file:
|
||||
#### Generate the configuration file
|
||||
|
||||
1. Pick a Node to reconfigure. We will refer to this Node's name as NODE_NAME.
|
||||
2. Start the kubectl proxy in the background with `kubectl proxy --port=8001 &`
|
||||
3. Run the following command to download and unpack the configuration from the
|
||||
configz endpoint:
|
||||
1. Choose a Node to reconfigure. In this example, the name of this Node is
|
||||
referred to as `NODE_NAME`.
|
||||
2. Start the kubectl proxy in the background using the following command:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
kubectl proxy --port=8001 &
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. Run the following command to download and unpack the configuration from the
|
||||
`configz` endpoint. The command is long, so be careful when copying and
|
||||
pasting. **If you use zsh**, replace the `${NODE_NAME}` in the URL with the
|
||||
actual name of the node, because zsh automatically escapes opening curly
|
||||
braces, which causes the command to fail.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ export NODE_NAME=the-name-of-the-node-you-are-reconfiguring
|
||||
$ curl -sSL http://localhost:8001/api/v1/nodes/${NODE_NAME}/proxy/configz | jq '.kubeletconfig|.kind="KubeletConfiguration"|.apiVersion="kubelet.config.k8s.io/v1beta1"' > kubelet_configz_${NODE_NAME}

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that we have to manually add the `kind` and `apiVersion` to the downloaded
|
||||
object, as these are not reported by the configz endpoint. This is one of the
|
||||
limitations of the endpoint.

||||
`kubelet_configz_${NODE_NAME}` file from the previous step. A QPS parameter,
|
||||
`eventRecordQPS` for example, is a good candidate.

Now that you've created a new ConfigMap, you need to authorize your node to

following commands:

||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Be sure to specify all three of `name`, `namespace`, and `uid`.
|
||||
You must specify all three of `name`, `namespace`, and `kubeletConfigKey`.
|
||||
The `kubeletConfigKey` parameter shows the Kubelet which key of the ConfigMap
|
||||
contains its config.
|
||||
|
||||
### Observe that the Node begins using the new configuration
|
||||
#### Observe that the Node begins using the new configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Retrieve the Node with `kubectl get node ${NODE_NAME} -o yaml`, and look for the
|
||||
`KubeletConfigOK` condition in `status.conditions`. You should see the message
|
||||
`Using current (UID: CONFIG_MAP_UID)` when the Kubelet starts using the new
|
||||
configuration.
|
||||
Retrieve the Node using the `kubectl get node ${NODE_NAME} -o yaml` command and inspect
|
||||
`Node.Status.Config`. The config sources corresponding to the `active`,
|
||||
`assigned`, and `lastKnownGood` configurations are reported in the status.
|
||||
|
||||
For convenience, you can use the following command (using `jq`) to filter down
|
||||
to the `KubeletConfigOK` condition:
|
||||
- The `active` configuration is the version the Kubelet is currently running with.
|
||||
- The `assigned` configuration is the latest version the Kubelet has resolved based on
|
||||
`Node.Spec.ConfigSource`.
|
||||
- The `lastKnownGood` configuration is the version the
|
||||
Kubelet will fall back to if an invalid config is assigned in `Node.Spec.ConfigSource`.
|
||||
|
||||
The`lastKnownGood` configuration might not be present if it is set to its default value,
|
||||
the local config deployed with the node. The status will update `lastKnownGood` to
|
||||
match a valid `assigned` config after the Kubelet becomes comfortable with the config.
|
||||
The details of how the Kubelet determines a config should become the `lastKnownGood` are
|
||||
not guaranteed by the API, but is currently implemented as a 10-minute grace period.

||||
### Edit the configuration file again

||||

||||
To change the configuration again, we simply repeat the above workflow.

||||
Try editing the `kubelet` file, changing the previously changed parameter to a
|
||||
new value.

||||

||||

||||
|
||||
Push the new configuration to the control plane in a new ConfigMap with the
|
||||
following command:
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ kubectl create configmap my-node-config --namespace=kube-system --from-file=kubelet=kubelet_configz_${NODE_NAME} --append-hash -o yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This new ConfigMap will get a new name, as we have changed the contents.
|
||||
We will refer to the new name as NEW_CONFIG_MAP_NAME and the new uid
|
||||
as NEW_CONFIG_MAP_UID.
|
||||
If an error occurs, the Kubelet reports it in the `Node.Status.Config.Error`
|
||||
structure. Possible errors are listed in
|
||||
[Understanding Node.Status.Config.Error messages](#understanding-node-status-config-error-messages).
|
||||
You can search for the identical text in the Kubelet log for additional details
|
||||
and context about the error.
|
||||
|
||||
### Authorize your Node to read the new ConfigMap
|
||||
#### Make more changes
|
||||
|
||||
Now that you've created a new ConfigMap, you need to authorize your node to
|
||||
read it. First, create a Role for your new ConfigMap with the
|
||||
following commands:
|
||||
Follow the workflow above to make more changes and push them again. Each time
|
||||
you push a ConfigMap with new contents, the --append-hash kubectl option creates
|
||||
the ConfigMap with a new name. The safest rollout strategy is to first create a
|
||||
new ConfigMap, and then update the Node to use the new ConfigMap.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ export NEW_CONFIG_MAP_NAME=name-from-previous-output
|
||||
$ kubectl -n kube-system create role ${NEW_CONFIG_MAP_NAME}-reader --verb=get --resource=configmap --resource-name=${NEW_CONFIG_MAP_NAME}
|
||||
```
|
||||
#### Reset the Node to use its local default configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Next, create a RoleBinding to associate your Node with the new Role:
|
||||
To reset the Node to use the configuration it was provisioned with, edit the
|
||||
Node using `kubectl edit node ${NODE_NAME}` and remove the
|
||||
`Node.Spec.ConfigSource` field.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ kubectl -n kube-system create rolebinding ${NEW_CONFIG_MAP_NAME}-reader --role=${NEW_CONFIG_MAP_NAME}-reader --user=system:node:${NODE_NAME}
|
||||
```

||||

||||

||||

|
||||

`kubectl edit node ${NODE_NAME}`. Your new `spec.configSource` should look like
|
||||
the following, with `name` and `uid` substituted as necessary:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
configSource:
|
||||
configMapRef:
|
||||
name: ${NEW_CONFIG_MAP_NAME}
|
||||
namespace: kube-system
|
||||
uid: ${NEW_CONFIG_MAP_UID}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Observe that the Kubelet is using the new configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Once more, retrieve the Node with `kubectl get node ${NODE_NAME} -o yaml`, and
|
||||
look for the `KubeletConfigOK` condition in `status.conditions`. You should see the message
|
||||
`using current: /api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/configmaps/${NEW_CONFIG_MAP_NAME}` when the Kubelet starts using the
|
||||
new configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
### Deauthorize your Node from reading the old ConfigMap
|
||||
|
||||
Once you know your Node is using the new configuration and are confident that
|
||||
the new configuration has not caused any problems, it is a good idea to
|
||||
deauthorize the node from reading the old ConfigMap. Run the following
|
||||
commands to remove the RoleBinding and Role:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ kubectl -n kube-system delete rolebinding ${CONFIG_MAP_NAME}-reader
|
||||
$ kubectl -n kube-system delete role ${CONFIG_MAP_NAME}-reader
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this does not necessarily prevent the Node from reverting to the old
|
||||
configuration, as it may locally cache the old ConfigMap for an indefinite
|
||||
period of time.
|
||||
|
||||
You may optionally also choose to remove the old ConfigMap:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ kubectl -n kube-system delete configmap ${CONFIG_MAP_NAME}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Once the Node Authorizer is updated to do this automatically, you will
|
||||
be able to skip this step.
|
||||
|
||||
### Reset the Node to use its local default configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, if you wish to reset the Node to use the configuration it was
|
||||
provisioned with, simply edit the Node with `kubectl edit node ${NODE_NAME}` and
|
||||
remove the `spec.configSource` subfield.
|
||||
|
||||
### Observe that the Node is using its local default configuration
|
||||
|
||||
After removing this subfield, you should eventually observe that the KubeletConfigOK
|
||||
condition's message reverts to `using current: local`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Deauthorize your Node from reading the old ConfigMap
|
||||
|
||||
Once you know your Node is using the default configuration again, it is a good
|
||||
idea to deauthorize the node from reading the old ConfigMap. Run the following
|
||||
commands to remove the RoleBinding and Role:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ kubectl -n kube-system delete rolebinding ${NEW_CONFIG_MAP_NAME}-reader
|
||||
$ kubectl -n kube-system delete role ${NEW_CONFIG_MAP_NAME}-reader
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this does not necessarily prevent the Node from reverting to the old
|
||||
ConfigMap, as it may locally cache the old ConfigMap for an indefinite
|
||||
period of time.
|
||||
|
||||
You may optionally also choose to remove the old ConfigMap:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ kubectl -n kube-system delete configmap ${NEW_CONFIG_MAP_NAME}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Once the Node Authorizer is updated to do this automatically, you will
|
||||
be able to skip this step.
|
||||
After removing this subfield, `Node.Status.Config` eventually becomes
|
||||
empty, since all config sources have been reset to `nil`, which indicates that
|
||||
the local default config is `assigned`, `active`, and `lastKnownGood`, and no
|
||||
error is reported.

## Kubectl Patch Example
|
||||
As mentioned above, there are many ways to change a Node's configSource.
|
||||
Here is an example command that uses `kubectl patch`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
kubectl patch node ${NODE_NAME} -p "{\"spec\":{\"configSource\":{\"configMapRef\":{\"name\":\"${CONFIG_MAP_NAME}\",\"namespace\":\"kube-system\",\"uid\":\"${CONFIG_MAP_UID}\"}}}}"
|
||||
You can change a Node's configSource using several different mechanisms.
|
||||
This example uses `kubectl patch`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
kubectl patch node ${NODE_NAME} -p "{\"spec\":{\"configSource\":{\"configMap\":{\"name\":\"${CONFIG_MAP_NAME}\",\"namespace\":\"kube-system\",\"kubeletConfigKey\":\"kubelet\"}}}}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Understanding KubeletConfigOK Conditions
|
||||
## Understanding how the Kubelet checkpoints config
|
||||
|
||||
The following table describes several of the `KubeletConfigOK` Node conditions you
|
||||
might encounter in a cluster that has Dynamic Kubelet Config enabled. If you
|
||||
observe a condition with `status=False`, you should check the Kubelet log for
|
||||
more error details by searching for the message or reason text.
|
||||
When a new config is assigned to the Node, the Kubelet downloads and unpacks the
|
||||
config payload as a set of files on the local disk. The Kubelet also records metadata
|
||||
that locally tracks the assigned and last-known-good config sources, so that the
|
||||
Kubelet knows which config to use across restarts, even if the API server becomes
|
||||
unavailable. After checkpointing a config and the relevant metadata, the Kubelet
|
||||
exits if it detects that the assigned config has changed. When the Kubelet is
|
||||
restarted by the OS-level service manager (such as `systemd`), it reads the new
|
||||
metadata and uses the new config.
|
||||
|
||||
The recorded metadata is fully resolved, meaning that it contains all necessary
|
||||
information to choose a specific config version - typically a `UID` and `ResourceVersion`.
|
||||
This is in contrast to `Node.Spec.ConfigSource`, where the intended config is declared
|
||||
via the idempotent `namespace/name` that identifies the target ConfigMap; the Kubelet
|
||||
tries to use the latest version of this ConfigMap.
|
||||
|
||||
When you are debugging problems on a node, you can inspect the Kubelet's config
|
||||
metadata and checkpoints. The structure of the Kubelet's checkpointing directory is:
|
||||
|
||||
```none
|
||||
- --dynamic-config-dir (root for managing dynamic config)
|
||||
| - meta
|
||||
| - assigned (encoded kubeletconfig/v1beta1.SerializedNodeConfigSource object, indicating the assigned config)
|
||||
| - last-known-good (encoded kubeletconfig/v1beta1.SerializedNodeConfigSource object, indicating the last-known-good config)
|
||||
| - checkpoints
|
||||
| - uid1 (dir for versions of object identified by uid1)
|
||||
| - resourceVersion1 (dir for unpacked files from resourceVersion1 of object with uid1)
|
||||
| - ...
|
||||
| - ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Understanding Node.Status.Config.Error messages
|
||||
|
||||
The following table describes error messages that can occur
|
||||
when using Dynamic Kubelet Config. You can search for the identical text
|
||||
in the Kubelet log for additional details and context about the error.
|
||||
