RKE2 Ansible Role

Galaxy Quality Role version Role downloads GitHub Actions License

This Ansible role will deploy RKE2 Kubernetes Cluster. RKE2 will be installed using the tarball method.

The Role can install the RKE2 in 3 modes:

  • RKE2 single node

  • RKE2 Cluster with one Server(Master) node and one or more Agent(Worker) nodes

  • RKE2 Cluster with Server(Master) in High Availability mode and zero or more Agent(Worker) nodes. In HA mode you should have an odd number (three recommended) of server(master) nodes that will run etcd, the Kubernetes API (Keepalived VIP address), and other control plane services.

Requirements

  • Ansible 2.10+

Tested on

  • Rocky Linux 8
  • Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Inventory file example

This role relies on nodes distribution to masters and workers inventory groups. The RKE2 Kubernetes master/server nodes must belong to masters group and worker/agent nodes must be the members of workers group. Both groups has to be the children of k8s_cluster group.

[masters]
master-01 ansible_host=192.168.123.1 rke2_type=server
master-02 ansible_host=192.168.123.2 rke2_type=server
master-03 ansible_host=192.168.123.3 rke2_type=server

[workers]
worker-01 ansible_host=192.168.123.11 rke2_type=agent
worker-02 ansible_host=192.168.123.12 rke2_type=agent
worker-03 ansible_host=192.168.123.13 rke2_type=agent

Playbook example

This playbook will deploy RKE2 to a single node acting as both server and agent.

- name: Deploy RKE2
  hosts: node
  become: yes
  roles:
     - role: lablabs.rke2

This playbook will deploy RKE2 to a cluster with one server(master) and several agent(worker) nodes.

- name: Deploy RKE2
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  roles:
     - role: lablabs.rke2

This playbook will deploy RKE2 to a cluster with HA server(master) control-plane and several agent(worker) nodes. The server(master) nodes will be tainted so the workload will be distributed only on worker/agent nodes. The role will install also keepalived on the control-plane nodes and setup VIP address where the Kubernetes API will be reachable. it will also download the Kubernetes config file to the local machine.

- name: Deploy RKE2
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  vars:
    rke2_ha_mode: true
    rke2_server_taint: true
    rke2_api_ip : 192.168.123.100
    rke2_download_kubeconf: true
  roles:
     - role: lablabs.rke2
