spawner

Multi-Cloud infrastructure orchestrator for Kubernetes first development. One tool to rule them all. To administer the cluster and retrieve kubeconfig, no need to utilise aws, azure, or any other vendor-specific cli.

---

Overview

• Multi cloud infrastructure orchestrator for kubernetes.
• Manage cluster kubeconfig for different provider.
• Provision nodes with on demand or spot instances.
• Access control built right into spawner, it will not access your existing clusters if it wasn't created by spawner unless your resources tagged as per spawner policy.
• Supported providers aws, azure and gcp.

---

Prerequisites

1. Golang v1.17 or later.

Usage

Clone repo

git clone [email protected]:netbook-devs/spawner-service.git

Spawner comes with following two packages

• spawner-service - gRPC service to manage cloud provider infra
• spawner - command line interface to interact with service

run service

• update config.env with the cloud provider credentials, gRPC ports.

• run the service

  Spawner is a gRPC service, so spin up a terminal and run the following command

  make run
  

  this will start the service in the specified ports in config.env

---

spawner command line tool

Build

spin up another terminal/tab and run the following in spawner-service repo directory

make build-client

Install

The previous build will generate the client binary named spawner in the current working directory. Copy that to your PATH or use it with relative execution path ./spawner as per your convenience.

Usage

For all the commands you need to pass spawner host address, default value is set to localhost:8083, if you need to change that, pass in using --addr or -a.

Example:

spawner cluster-status clustername --addr=192.168.1.78:8080 --provider=aws --region=us-west-2

Create a new cluster

To create a cluster we need more information on the cluster and node specification which can be passed to command as a file by specifying --request or -r

spawner create-cluster clustername -r request.json

request.json should contain the following

{
  "provider": "aws",
  "region": "us-east-1",
  "labels": {
    "created_at": "morning"
  },
  "node": {
    "name": "proident",
    "diskSize": 10,
    "labels": {
      "created_by": "alex"
     
    },
    "instance": "m5.xlarge",
    "gpuEnabled": false
  }
}

Note : This wil create a cluster and attach new node to it as per spec, the time taken by this operation completely depends on how fast provider responds.

---

Cluster status

Get the cluster status such as CREATING, ACTIVE, DELETING

spawner cluster-status clustername --provider "aws" -r=region

---

Delete Cluster

Delete the existing cluster

spawner delete-cluster clustername --provider "aws" -r=region

If the cluster has the nodes attached to it, this operation will fail, you can force delete the cluster which deletes attached node and then deletes the cluster.

To force delete set the --force or -f

spawner delete-cluster clustername --provider "aws" -r=region --force

Add new nodepool

Create new nodepool in a given cluster

spawner nodepool add clustername --request request.json

request.json will contain the nodespec for the new nodepool,

@request.json

{
  "nodeSpec": {
    "diskSize": 31,
    "name": "prosint",
    "count": 3,
    "instance": "Standard_A2_V2",
    "labels": {
      "created_by": "cli"
    }
  },
  "region": "eastus2",
  "clusterName": "my-cluster",
  "provider": "azure"
}

---

Delete nodepool

spawner nodepool delete clustername --provider "aws" -r=region --nodepool nodepoolname

---

Get kubeconfg for the cluster

spawner kubeconfig clustername --provider "aws" -r=region

this will read existing kube config from ~/.kube/config and merges new cluster config to it, sets the current context as the requested cluster

TODO

Some of the things we want to bring in the near future, there will be more to come mean time if you have any more ideas/thoughts, please drop in issues or discussion. Happy to address.

• Documentation to spin Spot Instances
• Support for bare metal servers
• Attaching existing user clusters by adding spawner policy requirement in user cluster.
