Terraform Kubernetes Engine Module

This module handles opinionated Google Cloud Platform Kubernetes Engine cluster creation and configuration with Node Pools, IP MASQ, Network Policy, etc. The resources/services/activations/deletions that this module will create/trigger are:

  • Create a GKE cluster with the provided addons
  • Create GKE Node Pool(s) with provided configuration and attach to cluster
  • Replace the default kube-dns configmap if stub_domains are provided
  • Activate network policy if network_policy is true
  • Add ip-masq-agent configmap with provided non_masquerade_cidrs if network_policy is true

Usage

There are multiple examples included in the examples folder but simple usage is as follows:

module "gke" {
  source                     = "terraform-google-modules/kubernetes-engine/google"
  project_id                 = "<PROJECT ID>"

  http_load_balancing        = false
  horizontal_pod_autoscaling = true
  kubernetes_dashboard       = true
  network_policy             = true

  node_pools = [
    {
      name               = "default-node-pool"
      machine_type       = "n1-standard-2"
      min_count          = 1
      max_count          = 100
      disk_size_gb       = 100
      disk_type          = "pd-standard"
      image_type         = "COS"
      auto_repair        = true
      auto_upgrade       = true
      service_account    = "project-service-account@<PROJECT ID>.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
      preemptible        = false
      initial_node_count = 80
    },
  ]

  node_pools_oauth_scopes = {
    all = []

    default-node-pool = [
      "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform",
    ]
  }

  node_pools_labels = {
    all = {}

    default-node-pool = {
      default-node-pool = "true"
    }
  }

  node_pools_metadata = {
    all = {}

    default-node-pool = {
      node-pool-metadata-custom-value = "my-node-pool"
    }
  }

  node_pools_taints = {
    all = []

    default-node-pool = [
      {
        key    = "default-node-pool"
        value  = "true"
        effect = "PREFER_NO_SCHEDULE"
      },
    ]
  }

  node_pools_tags = {
    all = []

    default-node-pool = [
      "default-node-pool",
    ]
  }
}

Then perform the following commands on the root folder:

  • terraform init to get the plugins
  • terraform plan to see the infrastructure plan
  • terraform apply to apply the infrastructure build
  • terraform destroy to destroy the built infrastructure

Upgrade to v2.0.0

v2.0.0 is a breaking release. Refer to the Upgrading to v2.0 guide for details.

Upgrade to v1.0.0

Version 1.0.0 of this module introduces a breaking change: adding the disable-legacy-endpoints metadata field to all node pools. This metadata is required by GKE and determines whether the /0.1/ and /v1beta1/ paths are available in the nodes' metadata server. If your applications do not require access to the node's metadata server, you can leave the default value of true provided by the module. If your applications require access to the metadata server, be sure to read the linked documentation to see if you need to set the value for this field to false to allow your applications access to the above metadata server paths.

In either case, upgrading to module version v1.0.0 will trigger a recreation of all node pools in the cluster.

Requirements

Before this module can be used on a project, you must ensure that the following pre-requisites are fulfilled:

  1. Terraform and kubectl are installed on the machine where Terraform is executed.
  2. The Service Account you execute the module with has the right permissions.
  3. The Compute Engine and Kubernetes Engine APIs are active on the project you will launch the cluster in.
  4. If you are using a Shared VPC, the APIs must also be activated on the Shared VPC host project and your service account needs the proper permissions there.

The project factory can be used to provision projects with the correct APIs active and the necessary Shared VPC connections.

Software Dependencies

Kubectl

Terraform and Plugins

Configure a Service Account

In order to execute this module you must have a Service Account with the following project roles:

  • roles/compute.viewer
  • roles/container.clusterAdmin
  • roles/container.developer
  • roles/iam.serviceAccountAdmin
  • roles/iam.serviceAccountUser
  • roles/resourcemanager.projectIamAdmin (only required if service_account is set to create)

Enable APIs

In order to operate with the Service Account you must activate the following APIs on the project where the Service Account was created:

  • Compute Engine API - compute.googleapis.com
  • Kubernetes Engine API - container.googleapis.com

File structure

The project has the following folders and files:

  • /: root folder
  • /examples: examples for using this module
  • /helpers: Helper scripts
  • /scripts: Scripts for specific tasks on module (see Infrastructure section on this file)
  • /test: Folders with files for testing the module (see Testing section on this file)
  • /main.tf: main file for this module, contains all the resources to create
  • /variables.tf: all the variables for the module
  • /output.tf: the outputs of the module
  • /readme.MD: this file

Templating

To more cleanly handle cases where desired functionality would require complex duplication of Terraform resources (i.e. PR 51), this repository is largely generated from the autogen directory.

The root module is generated by running make generate. Changes to this repository should be made in the autogen directory where appropriate.

Testing

Requirements

Autogeneration of documentation from .tf files

Run

make generate_docs

Integration test

Integration tests are run though test-kitchen, kitchen-terraform, and InSpec.

Six test-kitchen instances are defined:

  • deploy-service
  • node-pool
  • shared-vpc
  • simple-regional
  • simple-zonal
  • stub-domains

The test-kitchen instances in test/fixtures/ wrap identically-named examples in the examples/ directory.

Setup

  1. Configure the test fixtures
  2. Download a Service Account key with the necessary permissions and put it in the module's root directory with the name credentials.json.
    • Requires the permissions to run the module
    • Requires roles/compute.networkAdmin to create the test suite's networks
    • Requires roles/resourcemanager.projectIamAdmin since service account creation is tested
  3. Build the Docker container for testing:
make docker_build_kitchen_terraform
  1. Run the testing container in interactive mode:
make docker_run

The module root directory will be loaded into the Docker container at /cft/workdir/. 5. Run kitchen-terraform to test the infrastructure:

  1. kitchen create creates Terraform state and downloads modules, if applicable.
  2. kitchen converge creates the underlying resources. Run kitchen converge <INSTANCE_NAME> to create resources for a specific test case.
  3. Run kitchen converge again. This is necessary due to an oddity in how networkPolicyConfig is handled by the upstream API. (See #72 for details).
  4. kitchen verify tests the created infrastructure. Run kitchen verify <INSTANCE_NAME> to run a specific test case.
  5. kitchen destroy tears down the underlying resources created by kitchen converge. Run kitchen destroy <INSTANCE_NAME> to tear down resources for a specific test case.

Alternatively, you can simply run make test_integration_docker to run all the test steps non-interactively.

If you wish to parallelize running the test suites, it is also possible to offload the work onto Concourse to run each test suite for you using the command make test_integration_concourse. The .concourse directory will be created and contain all of the logs from the running test suites.

When running tests locally, you will need to use your own test project environment. You can configure your environment by setting all of the following variables:

export COMPUTE_ENGINE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT="<EXISTING_SERVICE_ACCOUNT>"
export PROJECT_ID="<PROJECT_TO_USE>"
export REGION="<REGION_TO_USE>"
export ZONES='["<LIST_OF_ZONES_TO_USE>"]'
export SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON="$(cat "<PATH_TO_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON>")"
export CLOUDSDK_AUTH_CREDENTIAL_FILE_OVERRIDE="<PATH_TO_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON>"
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="<PATH_TO_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON>"

Test configuration

Each test-kitchen instance is configured with a variables.tfvars file in the test fixture directory, e.g. test/fixtures/node_pool/terraform.tfvars. For convenience, since all of the variables are project-specific, these files have been symlinked to test/fixtures/shared/terraform.tfvars. Similarly, each test fixture has a variables.tf to define these variables, and an outputs.tf to facilitate providing necessary information for inspec to locate and query against created resources.

Each test-kitchen instance creates a GCP Network and Subnetwork fixture to house resources, and may create any other necessary fixture data as needed.

Autogeneration of documentation from .tf files

Run

make generate_docs

Linting

The makefile in this project will lint or sometimes just format any shell, Python, golang, Terraform, or Dockerfiles. The linters will only be run if the makefile finds files with the appropriate file extension.

All of the linter checks are in the default make target, so you just have to run

make -s

The -s is for 'silent'. Successful output looks like this

Running shellcheck
Running flake8
Running go fmt and go vet
Running terraform validate
Running hadolint on Dockerfiles
Checking for required files
Testing the validity of the header check
..
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 2 tests in 0.026s

OK
Checking file headers
The following lines have trailing whitespace

The linters are as follows:

  • Shell - shellcheck. Can be found in homebrew
  • Python - flake8. Can be installed with 'pip install flake8'
  • Golang - gofmt. gofmt comes with the standard golang installation. golang is a compiled language so there is no standard linter.
  • Terraform - terraform has a built-in linter in the 'terraform validate' command.
  • Dockerfiles - hadolint. Can be found in homebrew
