If your users authenticate with their UPN (e.g. "jdoe@acme.com") as username then this field must normally be set to `userPrincipalName`. Otherwise for the old, NetBIOS-style logon names (e.g. "jdoe") it's usually `sAMAccountName`. | +| User Member Attribute | The attribute containing the groups that a user is a member of. | +| Search Attribute | When a user enters text to add users or groups in the UI, Rancher queries the AD server and attempts to match users by the attributes provided in this setting. Multiple attributes can be specified by separating them with the pipe ("\|") symbol. To match UPN usernames (e.g. jdoe@acme.com) you should usually set the value of this field to `userPrincipalName`. | +| Search Filter | This filter gets applied to the list of users that is searched when Rancher attempts to add users to a site access list or tries to add members to clusters or projects. For example, a user search filter could be (|(memberOf=CN=group1,CN=Users,DC=testad,DC=rancher,DC=io)(memberOf=CN=group2,CN=Users,DC=testad,DC=rancher,DC=io)). Note: If the search filter does not use [valid AD search syntax,](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/adsi/search-filter-syntax) the list of users will be empty. | +| User Enabled Attribute | The attribute containing an integer value representing a bitwise enumeration of user account flags. Rancher uses this to determine if a user account is disabled. You should normally leave this set to the AD standard `userAccountControl`. | +| Disabled Status Bitmask | This is the value of the `User Enabled Attribute` designating a disabled user account. You should normally leave this set to the default value of "2" as specified in the Microsoft Active Directory schema (see [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/adschema/a-useraccountcontrol#remarks)). | + +--- + +#### Group Schema + +The table below details the parameters for the group schema configuration. + +**Table 3: Group schema configuration parameters** + +| Parameter | Description | +|:--|:--| +| Object Class | The name of the object class used for group objects in your domain.

Note: If the search filter does not use [valid AD search syntax,](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/adsi/search-filter-syntax) the list of groups will be empty. | +| Group DN Attribute | The name of the group attribute whose format matches the values in the user attribute describing a the user's memberships. See `User Member Attribute`. | +| Nested Group Membership | This settings defines whether Rancher should resolve nested group memberships. Use only if your organisation makes use of these nested memberships (ie. you have groups that contain other groups as members. We advise avoiding nested groups when possible). | + +--- + +### Test Authentication + +Once you have completed the configuration, proceed by testing the connection to the AD server **using your AD admin account**.

If defined, only specify the name of the object class - *don't* include it in an LDAP wrapper such as &(objectClass=xxxx) | +| Username Attribute | The user attribute whose value is suitable as a display name. | +| Login Attribute | The attribute whose value matches the username part of credentials entered by your users when logging in to Rancher. This is typically `uid`. | +| User Member Attribute | The user attribute containing the Distinguished Name of groups a user is member of. Usually this is one of `memberOf` or `isMemberOf`. | +| Search Attribute | When a user enters text to add users or groups in the UI, Rancher queries the LDAP server and attempts to match users by the attributes provided in this setting. Multiple attributes can be specified by separating them with the pipe ("\|") symbol. | +| User Enabled Attribute | If the schema of your OpenLDAP server supports a user attribute whose value can be evaluated to determine if the account is disabled or locked, enter the name of that attribute. The default OpenLDAP schema does not support this and the field should usually be left empty. | +| Disabled Status Bitmask | This is the value for a disabled/locked user account. The parameter is ignored if `User Enabled Attribute` is empty. | + +### Group Schema Configuration + +The table below details the parameters for the group schema configuration. + +
Group Schema Configuration Parameters
+ +| Parameter | Description | +|:--|:--| +| Object Class | The name of the object class used for group entries in your domain. If defined, only specify the name of the object class - *don't* include it in an LDAP wrapper such as &(objectClass=xxxx) | +| Name Attribute | The group attribute whose value is suitable for a display name. | +| Group Member User Attribute | The name of the **user attribute** whose format matches the group members in the `Group Member Mapping Attribute`. | +| Group Member Mapping Attribute | The name of the group attribute containing the members of a group. | +| Search Attribute | Attribute used to construct search filters when adding groups to clusters or projects in the UI. See description of user schema `Search Attribute`. | +| Group DN Attribute | The name of the group attribute whose format matches the values in the user's group membership attribute. See `User Member Attribute`. | +| Nested Group Membership | This settings defines whether Rancher should resolve nested group memberships. Use only if your organization makes use of these nested memberships (ie. you have groups that contain other groups as members). This option is disabled if you are using Shibboleth. | \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/content/rancher/v2.6/en/admin-settings/authentication/ping-federate/_index.md b/content/rancher/v2.6/en/admin-settings/authentication/ping-federate/_index.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..5d60f2f28cb --- /dev/null +++ b/content/rancher/v2.6/en/admin-settings/authentication/ping-federate/_index.md @@ -0,0 +1,51 @@ +--- +title: Configuring PingIdentity (SAML) +weight: 1200 +--- + +If your organization uses Ping Identity Provider (IdP) for user authentication, you can configure Rancher to allow your users to log in using their IdP credentials. + +>**Prerequisites:** +> +>- You must have a [Ping IdP Server](https://www.pingidentity.com/) configured. +>- Following are the Rancher Service Provider URLs needed for configuration: +Metadata URL: `https:///v1-saml/ping/saml/metadata` +Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL: `https:///v1-saml/ping/saml/acs` +Note that these URLs will not return valid data until the authentication configuration is saved in Rancher. +>- Export a `metadata.xml` file from your IdP Server.

It is written in HashiCorp Configuration Language, which is a declarative language that lets you define the infrastructure you want in your cluster, the cloud provider you are using, and your credentials for the provider. Then Terraform makes API calls to the provider in order to efficiently create that infrastructure. + +To create a Rancher-provisioned cluster with Terraform, go to your Terraform configuration file and define the provider as Rancher 2.

For detailed info about the generic API spec, [see here](https://github.com/rancher/api-spec/blob/master/specification.md). + +- Every type has a Schema which describes: + - The URL to get to the collection of this type of resources + - Every field the resource can have, along with their type, basic validation rules, whether they are required or optional, etc. + - Every action that is possible on this type of resource, with their inputs and outputs (also as schemas). + - Every field that filtering is allowed on + - What HTTP verb methods are available for the collection itself, or for individual resources in the collection. + + +- So the theory is that you can load just the list of schemas and know everything about the API.

The `filters` map shows you what fields can be filtered on and what the filtered values were for the request you made. The API UI has controls to setup filtering and show you the appropriate request. For simple "equals" matches it's just `field=value`. Modifiers can be added to the field name, e.g. `field_gt=42` for "field is greater than 42".

While container runtimes provide isolation, vulnerabilities and attacks are still possible. Inadvertent or accidental host mounts can also be impacted if the container is running as root. For details on configuring a security context for a pod or container, refer to the [Kubernetes docs](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/security-context/). + +### Define Resource Limits +Apply CPU and memory limits to your pods. This can help manage the resources on your worker nodes and avoid a malfunctioning microservice from impacting other microservices. + +In standard Kubernetes, you can set resource limits on the namespace level. In Rancher, you can set resource limits on the project level and they will propagate to all the namespaces within the project. For details, refer to the Rancher docs. + +When setting resource quotas, if you set anything related to CPU or Memory (i.e. limits or reservations) on a project or namespace, all containers will require a respective CPU or Memory field set during creation. To avoid setting these limits on each and every container during workload creation, a default container resource limit can be specified on the namespace. + +The Kubernetes docs have more information on how resource limits can be set at the [container level](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-compute-resources-container/#resource-requests-and-limits-of-pod-and-container) and the namespace level. + +### Define Resource Requirements +You should apply CPU and memory requirements to your pods. This is crucial for informing the scheduler which type of compute node your pod needs to be placed on, and ensuring it does not over-provision that node. In Kubernetes, you can set a resource requirement by defining `resources.requests` in the resource requests field in a pod's container spec. For details, refer to the [Kubernetes docs](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-compute-resources-container/#resource-requests-and-limits-of-pod-and-container). + +> **Note:** If you set a resource limit for the namespace that the pod is deployed in, and the container doesn't have a specific resource request, the pod will not be allowed to start. To avoid setting these fields on each and every container during workload creation, a default container resource limit can be specified on the namespace. + +It is recommended to define resource requirements on the container level because otherwise, the scheduler makes assumptions that will likely not be helpful to your application when the cluster experiences load. + +### Liveness and Readiness Probes +Set up liveness and readiness probes for your container. Unless your container completely crashes, Kubernetes will not know it's unhealthy unless you create an endpoint or mechanism that can report container status. Alternatively, make sure your container halts and crashes if unhealthy. + +The Kubernetes docs show how to [configure liveness and readiness probes for containers.](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-probes/) diff --git a/content/rancher/v2.6/en/best-practices/rancher-managed/logging/_index.md b/content/rancher/v2.6/en/best-practices/rancher-managed/logging/_index.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..30a9a2a8f5a --- /dev/null +++ b/content/rancher/v2.6/en/best-practices/rancher-managed/logging/_index.md @@ -0,0 +1,93 @@ +--- +title: Logging Best Practices +weight: 1 +aliases: + - /rancher/v2.5/en/best-practices/v2.5/rancher-managed/logging +--- +In this guide, we recommend best practices for cluster-level logging and application logging. + +- [Changes in Logging in Rancher v2.5](#changes-in-logging-in-rancher-v2-5) +- [Cluster-level Logging](#cluster-level-logging) +- [Application Logging](#application-logging) +- [General Best Practices](#general-best-practices) + +# Changes in Logging in Rancher v2.5 + +Before Rancher v2.5, logging in Rancher has historically been a pretty static integration.

This usually coincides with your security team's request (or requirement) to collect all logs from all points of execution. + +In this scenario, it is recommended to create at least two _ClusterOutput_ objects - one for your security team (if you have that requirement), and one for yourselves, the cluster administrators. When creating these objects take care to choose an output endpoint that can handle the significant log traffic coming from the entire cluster. Also make sure to choose an appropriate index to receive all these logs. + +Once you have created these _ClusterOutput_ objects, create a _ClusterFlow_ to collect all the logs. Do not define any _Include_ or _Exclude_ rules on this flow. This will ensure that all logs from across the cluster are collected. If you have two _ClusterOutputs_, make sure to send logs to both of them. + +### Kubernetes Components + +_ClusterFlows_ have the ability to collect logs from all containers on all hosts in the Kubernetes cluster. This works well in cases where those containers are part of a Kubernetes pod; however, RKE containers exist outside of the scope of Kubernetes. + +Currently (as of v2.5.1) the logs from RKE containers are collected, but are not able to easily be filtered. This is because those logs do not contain information as to the source container (e.g. `etcd` or `kube-apiserver`). + +A future release of Rancher will include the source container name which will enable filtering of these component logs. Once that change is made, you will be able to customize a _ClusterFlow_ to retrieve **only** the Kubernetes component logs, and direct them to an appropriate output. + +# Application Logging + +Best practice not only in Kubernetes but in all container-based applications is to direct application logs to `stdout`/`stderr`. The container runtime will then trap these logs and do **something** with them - typically writing them to a file. Depending on the container runtime (and its configuration), these logs can end up in any number of locations. + +In the case of writing the logs to a file, Kubernetes helps by creating a `/var/log/containers` directory on each host. This directory symlinks the log files to their actual destination (which can differ based on configuration or container runtime). + +Rancher logging will read all log entries in `/var/log/containers`, ensuring that all log entries from all containers (assuming a default configuration) will have the opportunity to be collected and processed. + +### Specific Log Files + +Log collection only retrieves `stdout`/`stderr` logs from pods in Kubernetes. But what if we want to collect logs from other files that are generated by applications? Here, a log streaming sidecar (or two) may come in handy. + +The goal of setting up a streaming sidecar is to take log files that are written to disk, and have their contents streamed to `stdout`. This way, the Banzai Logging Operator can pick up those logs and send them to your desired output. + +To set this up, edit your workload resource (e.g. Deployment) and add the following sidecar definition: + +``` +... +containers: +- args: + - -F + - /path/to/your/log/file.log + command: + - tail + image: busybox + name: stream-log-file-[name] + volumeMounts: + - mountPath: /path/to/your/log + name: mounted-log +... +``` + +This will add a container to your workload definition that will now stream the contents of (in this example) `/path/to/your/log/file.log` to `stdout`. + +This log stream is then automatically collected according to any _Flows_ or _ClusterFlows_ you have setup. You may also wish to consider creating a _Flow_ specifically for this log file by targeting the name of the container. See example: + +``` +... +spec: + match: + - select: + container_names: + - stream-log-file-name +... +``` + + +# General Best Practices + +- Where possible, output structured log entries (e.g. `syslog`, JSON). This makes handling of the log entry easier as there are already parsers written for these formats. +- Try to provide the name of the application that is creating the log entry, in the entry itself. This can make troubleshooting easier as Kubernetes objects do not always carry the name of the application as the object name. For instance, a pod ID may be something like `myapp-098kjhsdf098sdf98` which does not provide much information about the application running inside the container. +- Except in the case of collecting all logs cluster-wide, try to scope your _Flow_ and _ClusterFlow_ objects tightly. This makes it easier to troubleshoot when problems arise, and also helps ensure unrelated log entries do not show up in your aggregator. An example of tight scoping would be to constrain a _Flow_ to a single _Deployment_ in a namespace, or perhaps even a single container within a _Pod_. +- Keep the log verbosity down except when troubleshooting. High log verbosity poses a number of issues, chief among them being **noise**: significant events can be drowned out in a sea of `DEBUG` messages. This is somewhat mitigated with automated alerting and scripting, but highly verbose logging still places an inordinate amount of stress on the logging infrastructure. +- Where possible, try to provide a transaction or request ID with the log entry. This can make tracing application activity across multiple log sources easier, especially when dealing with distributed applications. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/content/rancher/v2.6/en/best-practices/rancher-managed/managed-vsphere/_index.md b/content/rancher/v2.6/en/best-practices/rancher-managed/managed-vsphere/_index.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..12b794bacf7 --- /dev/null +++ b/content/rancher/v2.6/en/best-practices/rancher-managed/managed-vsphere/_index.md @@ -0,0 +1,61 @@ +--- +title: Best Practices for Rancher Managed vSphere Clusters +shortTitle: Rancher Managed Clusters in vSphere +aliases: + - /rancher/v2.5/en/best-practices/v2.5/rancher-managed/managed-vsphere +--- + +This guide outlines a reference architecture for provisioning downstream Rancher clusters in a vSphere environment, in addition to standard vSphere best practices as documented by VMware. + +- [1.

But for a reliable setup, you also need to monitor your own workloads and adapt Prometheus and Grafana to your own specific use cases and cluster sizes.

For the whole system and each individual component, you have to ensure performance, availability, reliability and scalability. A good resource with more details and information is Google's free [Site Reliability Engineering Book](https://landing.google.com/sre/sre-book/), especially the chapter about [Monitoring distributed systems](https://landing.google.com/sre/sre-book/chapters/monitoring-distributed-systems/). + +# Configuring Prometheus Resource Usage + +When installing the integrated monitoring stack, Rancher allows to configure several settings that are dependent on the size of your cluster and the workloads running in it. This chapter covers these in more detail. + +### Storage and Data Retention + +The amount of storage needed for Prometheus directly correlates to the amount of time series and labels that you store and the data retention you have configured. It is important to note that Prometheus is not meant to be used as a long-term metrics storage. Data retention time is usually only a couple of days and not weeks or months. The reason for this is that Prometheus does not perform any aggregation on its stored metrics. This is great because aggregation can dilute data, but it also means that the needed storage grows linearly over time without retention. + +One way to calculate the necessary storage is to look at the average size of a storage chunk in Prometheus with this query + +``` +rate(prometheus_tsdb_compaction_chunk_size_bytes_sum[1h]) / rate(prometheus_tsdb_compaction_chunk_samples_sum[1h]) +``` + +Next, find out your data ingestion rate per second: + +``` +rate(prometheus_tsdb_head_samples_appended_total[1h]) +``` + +and then multiply this with the retention time, adding a few percentage points as buffer: + +``` +average chunk size in bytes * ingestion rate per second * retention time in seconds * 1.1 = necessary storage in bytes +``` + +You can find more information about how to calculate the necessary storage in this [blog post](https://www.robustperception.io/how-much-disk-space-do-prometheus-blocks-use). + +You can read more about the Prometheus storage concept in the [Prometheus documentation](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/storage). + +### CPU and Memory Requests and Limits + +In larger Kubernetes clusters Prometheus can consume quite a bit of memory. The amount of memory Prometheus needs directly correlates to the amount of time series and amount of labels it stores and the scrape interval in which these are filled. + +You can find more information about how to calculate the necessary memory in this [blog post](https://www.robustperception.io/how-much-ram-does-prometheus-2-x-need-for-cardinality-and-ingestion). + +The amount of necessary CPUs correlate with the amount of queries you are performing. + +### Federation and Long-term Storage + +Prometheus is not meant to store metrics for a long amount of time, but should only be used for short term storage. + +In order to store some, or all metrics for a long time, you can leverage Prometheus' [remote read/write](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/storage/#remote-storage-integrations) capabilities to connect it to storage systems like [Thanos](https://thanos.io/), [InfluxDB](https://www.influxdata.com/), [M3DB](https://www.m3db.io/), or others. You can find an example setup in this [blog post](https://rancher.com/blog/2020/prometheus-metric-federation). + +# Scraping Custom Workloads + +While the integrated Rancher Monitoring already scrapes system metrics from a cluster's nodes and system components, the custom workloads that you deploy on Kubernetes should also be scraped for data. For that you can configure Prometheus to do an HTTP request to an endpoint of your applications in a certain interval. These endpoints should then return their metrics in a Prometheus format. + +In general, you want to scrape data from all the workloads running in your cluster so that you can use them for alerts or debugging issues. Often, you recognize that you need some data only when you actually need the metrics during an incident. It is good, if it is already scraped and stored. Since Prometheus is only meant to be a short-term metrics storage, scraping and keeping lots of data is usually not that expensive. If you are using a long-term storage solution with Prometheus, you can then still decide which data you are actually persisting and keeping there. + +### About Prometheus Exporters + +A lot of 3rd party workloads like databases, queues or web-servers either already support exposing metrics in a Prometheus format, or there are so called exporters available that translate between the tool's metrics and the format that Prometheus understands. Usually you can add these exporters as additional sidecar containers to the workload's Pods. A lot of helm charts already include options to deploy the correct exporter. Additionally you can find a curated list of exports by SysDig on [promcat.io](https://promcat.io/) and on [ExporterHub](https://exporterhub.io/). + +### Prometheus support in Programming Languages and Frameworks + +To get your own custom application metrics into Prometheus, you have to collect and expose these metrics directly from your application's code. Fortunately, there are already libraries and integrations available to help with this for most popular programming languages and frameworks. One example for this is the Prometheus support in the [Spring Framework](https://docs.spring.io/spring-metrics/docs/current/public/prometheus). + +### ServiceMonitors and PodMonitors + +Once all your workloads expose metrics in a Prometheus format, you have to configure Prometheus to scrape it. Under the hood Rancher is using the [prometheus-operator](https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator). This makes it easy to add additional scraping targets with ServiceMonitors and PodMonitors. A lot of helm charts already include an option to create these monitors directly. You can also find more information in the Rancher documentation. + +### Prometheus Push Gateway + +There are some workloads that are traditionally hard to scrape by Prometheus. Examples for these are short lived workloads like Jobs and CronJobs, or applications that do not allow sharing data between individual handled incoming requests, like PHP applications. + +To still get metrics for these use cases, you can set up [prometheus-pushgateways](https://github.com/prometheus/pushgateway). The CronJob or PHP application would push metric updates to the pushgateway. The pushgateway aggregates and exposes them through an HTTP endpoint, which then can be scraped by Prometheus. + +### Prometheus Blackbox Monitor + +Sometimes it is useful to monitor workloads from the outside. For this, you can use the [Prometheus blackbox-exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter) which allows probing any kind of endpoint over HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, TCP and ICMP. + +# Monitoring in a (Micro)Service Architecture + +If you have a (micro)service architecture where multiple individual workloads within your cluster are communicating with each other, it is really important to have detailed metrics and traces about this traffic to understand how all these workloads are communicating with each other and where a problem or bottleneck may be. + +Of course you can monitor all this internal traffic in all your workloads and expose these metrics to Prometheus. But this can quickly become quite work intensive. Service Meshes like Istio, which can be installed with [a click](https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-admin/tools/istio/) in Rancher, can do this automatically and provide rich telemetry about the traffic between all services. + +# Real User Monitoring + +Monitoring the availability and performance of all your internal workloads is vitally important to run stable, reliable and fast applications. But these metrics only show you parts of the picture. To get a complete view it is also necessary to know how your end users are actually perceiving it. For this you can look into various [Real user monitoring solutions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_user_monitoring). + +# Security Monitoring + +In addition to monitoring workloads to detect performance, availability or scalability problems, the cluster and the workloads running into it should also be monitored for potential security problems. A good starting point is to frequently run and alert on [CIS Scans]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cis-scans/v2.5/) which check if the cluster is configured according to security best practices. + +For the workloads, you can have a look at Kubernetes and Container security solutions like [Falko](https://falco.org/), [Aqua Kubernetes Security](https://www.aquasec.com/solutions/kubernetes-container-security/), [SysDig](https://sysdig.com/). + +# Setting up Alerts + +Getting all the metrics into a monitoring systems and visualizing them in dashboards is great, but you also want to be pro-actively alerted if something goes wrong. + +The integrated Rancher monitoring already configures a sensible set of alerts that make sense in any Kubernetes cluster. You should extend these to cover your specific workloads and use cases. + +When setting up alerts, configure them for all the workloads that are critical to the availability of your applications. But also make sure that they are not too noisy. Ideally every alert you are receiving should be because of a problem that needs your attention and needs to be fixed. If you have alerts that are firing all the time but are not that critical, there is a danger that you start ignoring your alerts all together and then miss the real important ones. Less may be more here. Start to focus on the real important metrics first, for example alert if your application is offline. Fix all the problems that start to pop up and then start to create more detailed alerts. + +If an alert starts firing, but there is nothing you can do about it at the moment, it's also fine to silence the alert for a certain amount of time, so that you can look at it later. + +You can find more information on how to set up alerts and notification channels in the [Rancher Documentation]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/monitoring-alerting/v2.5). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/content/rancher/v2.6/en/best-practices/rancher-server/_index.md b/content/rancher/v2.6/en/best-practices/rancher-server/_index.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..2967207d26c --- /dev/null +++ b/content/rancher/v2.6/en/best-practices/rancher-server/_index.md @@ -0,0 +1,21 @@ +--- +title: Best Practices for the Rancher Server +shortTitle: Rancher Server +weight: 1 +aliases: + - /rancher/v2.5/en/best-practices/v2.5/rancher-server +--- + +This guide contains our recommendations for running the Rancher server, and is intended to be used in situations in which Rancher manages downstream Kubernetes clusters. + +### Recommended Architecture and Infrastructure + +Refer to this [guide](./deployment-types) for our general advice for setting up the Rancher server on a high-availability Kubernetes cluster. + +### Deployment Strategies + +This [guide](./deployment-strategies) is designed to help you choose whether a regional deployment strategy or a hub-and-spoke deployment strategy is better for a Rancher server that manages downstream Kubernetes clusters. + +### Installing Rancher in a vSphere Environment + +This [guide](./rancher-in-vsphere) outlines a reference architecture for installing Rancher in a vSphere environment, in addition to standard vSphere best practices as documented by VMware. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/content/rancher/v2.6/en/best-practices/rancher-server/deployment-strategies/_index.md b/content/rancher/v2.6/en/best-practices/rancher-server/deployment-strategies/_index.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..15b895e94ea --- /dev/null +++ b/content/rancher/v2.6/en/best-practices/rancher-server/deployment-strategies/_index.md @@ -0,0 +1,47 @@ +--- +title: Rancher Deployment Strategy +weight: 100 +aliases: + - /rancher/v2.5/en/best-practices/v2.5/rancher-server/deployment-strategies +--- + +There are two recommended deployment strategies for a Rancher server that manages downstream Kubernetes clusters.

The organization is headquartered in East Greenbush, New York, with members including large corporations, government agencies, and academic institutions. + +CIS Benchmarks are best practices for the secure configuration of a target system. CIS Benchmarks are developed through the generous volunteer efforts of subject matter experts, technology vendors, public and private community members, and the CIS Benchmark Development team. + +The official Benchmark documents are available through the CIS website.

If the node reports that the etcd cluster is healthy, a snapshot is created from it and optionally uploaded to S3. + +The snapshot is stored in `/opt/rke/etcd-snapshots`. If the directory is configured on the nodes as a shared mount, it will be overwritten. On S3, the snapshot will always be from the last node that uploads it, as all etcd nodes upload it and the last will remain. + +In the case when multiple etcd nodes exist, any created snapshot is created after the cluster has been health checked, so it can be considered a valid snapshot of the data in the etcd cluster. + +### Snapshot Naming Conventions + +The name of the snapshot is auto-generated. The `--name` option can be used to override the name of the snapshot when creating one-time snapshots with the RKE CLI. + +When Rancher creates a snapshot of an RKE cluster, the snapshot name is based on the type (whether the snapshot is manual or recurring) and the target (whether the snapshot is saved locally or uploaded to S3). The naming convention is as follows: + +- `m` stands for manual +- `r` stands for recurring +- `l` stands for local +- `s` stands for S3 + +Some example snapshot names are: + +- c-9dmxz-rl-8b2cx +- c-9dmxz-ml-kr56m +- c-9dmxz-ms-t6bjb +- c-9dmxz-rs-8gxc8 + +### How Restoring from a Snapshot Works + +On restore, the following process is used: + +1. The snapshot is retrieved from S3, if S3 is configured. +2. The snapshot is unzipped (if zipped). +3. One of the etcd nodes in the cluster serves that snapshot file to the other nodes. +4. The other etcd nodes download the snapshot and validate the checksum so that they all use the same snapshot for the restore. +5. The cluster is restored and post-restore actions will be done in the cluster. + +# Configuring Recurring Snapshots + +Select how often you want recurring snapshots to be taken as well as how many snapshots to keep. The amount of time is measured in hours. With timestamped snapshots, the user has the ability to do a point-in-time recovery. + +By default, [Rancher launched Kubernetes clusters]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/) are configured to take recurring snapshots (saved to local disk). To protect against local disk failure, using the [S3 Target](#s3-backup-target) or replicating the path on disk is advised. + +During cluster provisioning or editing the cluster, the configuration for snapshots can be found in the advanced section for **Cluster Options**. Click on **Show advanced options**. + +In the **Advanced Cluster Options** section, there are several options available to configure: + +| Option | Description | Default Value| +| --- | ---| --- | +| etcd Snapshot Backup Target | Select where you want the snapshots to be saved. Options are either local or in S3 | local| +|Recurring etcd Snapshot Enabled| Enable/Disable recurring snapshots | Yes| +| Recurring etcd Snapshot Creation Period | Time in hours between recurring snapshots| 12 hours | +| Recurring etcd Snapshot Retention Count | Number of snapshots to retain| 6 | + +# One-Time Snapshots + +In addition to recurring snapshots, you may want to take a "one-time" snapshot. For example, before upgrading the Kubernetes version of a cluster it's best to backup the state of the cluster to protect against upgrade failure. + +1. In the **Global** view, navigate to the cluster that you want to take a one-time snapshot. + +2. Click the **⋮ > Snapshot Now**. + +**Result:** Based on your [snapshot backup target](#snapshot-backup-targets), a one-time snapshot will be taken and saved in the selected backup target. + +# Snapshot Backup Targets + +Rancher supports two different backup targets: + +* [Local Target](#local-backup-target) +* [S3 Target](#s3-backup-target) + +### Local Backup Target + +By default, the `local` backup target is selected. The benefits of this option is that there is no external configuration. Snapshots are automatically saved locally to the etcd nodes in the [Rancher launched Kubernetes clusters]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/) in `/opt/rke/etcd-snapshots`. All recurring snapshots are taken at configured intervals. The downside of using the `local` backup target is that if there is a total disaster and _all_ etcd nodes are lost, there is no ability to restore the cluster. + +### S3 Backup Target + +The `S3` backup target allows users to configure a S3 compatible backend to store the snapshots. The primary benefit of this option is that if the cluster loses all the etcd nodes, the cluster can still be restored as the snapshots are stored externally. Rancher recommends external targets like `S3` backup, however its configuration requirements do require additional effort that should be considered. + +| Option | Description | Required| +|---|---|---| +|S3 Bucket Name| S3 bucket name where backups will be stored| *| +|S3 Region|S3 region for the backup bucket| | +|S3 Region Endpoint|S3 regions endpoint for the backup bucket|* | +|S3 Access Key|S3 access key with permission to access the backup bucket|*| +|S3 Secret Key|S3 secret key with permission to access the backup bucket|*| +| Custom CA Certificate | A custom certificate used to access private S3 backends || + +### Using a custom CA certificate for S3 + +The backup snapshot can be stored on a custom `S3` backup like [minio](https://min.io/). If the S3 back end uses a self-signed or custom certificate, provide a custom certificate using the `Custom CA Certificate` option to connect to the S3 backend. + +### IAM Support for Storing Snapshots in S3 + +The `S3` backup target supports using IAM authentication to AWS API in addition to using API credentials. An IAM role gives temporary permissions that an application can use when making API calls to S3 storage. To use IAM authentication, the following requirements must be met: + + - The cluster etcd nodes must have an instance role that has read/write access to the designated backup bucket. + - The cluster etcd nodes must have network access to the specified S3 endpoint. + - The Rancher Server worker node(s) must have an instance role that has read/write to the designated backup bucket. + - The Rancher Server worker node(s) must have network access to the specified S3 endpoint. + + To give an application access to S3, refer to the AWS documentation on [Using an IAM Role to Grant Permissions to Applications Running on Amazon EC2 Instances.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use_switch-role-ec2.html) + +# Viewing Available Snapshots + +The list of all available snapshots for the cluster is available in the Rancher UI. + +1.

When Rancher creates this RKE cluster, it generates a kubeconfig file that includes additional kubectl context(s) for accessing your cluster. This additional context allows you to use kubectl to authenticate with the downstream cluster without authenticating through Rancher. For a longer explanation of how the authorized cluster endpoint works, refer to [this page.](../ace) + +We recommend that as a best practice, you should set up this method to access your RKE cluster, so that just in case you can’t connect to Rancher, you can still access the cluster. + +> **Prerequisites:** The following steps assume that you have created a Kubernetes cluster and followed the steps to [connect to your cluster with kubectl from your workstation.](#accessing-clusters-with-kubectl-from-your-workstation) + +To find the name of the context(s) in your downloaded kubeconfig file, run: + +``` +kubectl config get-contexts --kubeconfig /custom/path/kube.config +CURRENT NAME CLUSTER AUTHINFO NAMESPACE +* my-cluster my-cluster user-46tmn + my-cluster-controlplane-1 my-cluster-controlplane-1 user-46tmn +``` + +In this example, when you use `kubectl` with the first context, `my-cluster`, you will be authenticated through the Rancher server. + +With the second context, `my-cluster-controlplane-1`, you would authenticate with the authorized cluster endpoint, communicating with an downstream RKE cluster directly. + +We recommend using a load balancer with the authorized cluster endpoint.

If a launch template is provided, then none of the settings below will be configurable in Rancher. Therefore, using a launch template would require that all the necessary and desired settings from the list below would need to be specified in the launch template. Also note that if a launch template ID and version is provided, then only the template version can be updated. Using a new template ID would require creating a new managed node group. + +| Option | Description | Required/Optional | +| ------ | ----------- | ----------------- | +| Instance Type | Choose the [hardware specs](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/) for the instance you're provisioning. | Required | +| Image ID | Specify a custom AMI for the nodes. Custom AMIs used with EKS must be [configured properly](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/eks-custom-linux-ami/) | Optional | +| Node Volume Size | The launch template must specify an EBS volume with the desired size | Required | +| SSH Key | A key to be added to the instances to provide SSH access to the nodes | Optional | +| User Data | Cloud init script in [MIME multi-part format](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/launch-templates.html#launch-template-user-data) | Optional | +| Instance Resource Tags | Tag each EC2 instance in the node group | Optional | + +#### Rancher-managed launch templates + +If you do not specify a launch template, then you will be able to configure the above options in the Rancher UI and all of them can be updated after creation. In order to take advantage of all of these options, Rancher will create and manage a launch template for you. Each cluster in Rancher will have one Rancher-managed launch template and each managed node group that does not have a specified launch template will have one version of the managed launch template. The name of this launch template will have the prefix "rancher-managed-lt-" followed by the display name of the cluster. In addition, the Rancher-managed launch template will be tagged with the key "rancher-managed-template" and value "do-not-modify-or-delete" to help identify it as Rancher-managed. It is important that this launch template and its versions not be modified, deleted, or used with any other clusters or managed node groups. Doing so could result in your node groups being "degraded" and needing to be destroyed and recreated. + +#### Custom AMIs + +If you specify a custom AMI, whether in a launch template or in Rancher, then the image must be [configured properly](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/eks-custom-linux-ami/) and you must provide user data to [bootstrap the node](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/launch-templates.html#launch-template-custom-ami). This is considered an advanced use case and understanding the requirements is imperative. + +If you specify a launch template that does not contain a custom AMI, then Amazon will use the [EKS-optimized AMI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/eks-optimized-ami.html) for the Kubernetes version and selected region. You can also select a [GPU enabled instance](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/eks-optimized-ami.html#gpu-ami) for workloads that would benefit from it. + +>**Note** +>The GPU enabled instance setting in Rancher is ignored if a custom AMI is provided, either in the dropdown or in a launch template. + +#### Spot instances + +Spot instances are now [supported by EKS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/managed-node-groups.html#managed-node-group-capacity-types-spot). If a launch template is specified, Amazon recommends that the template not provide an instance type. Instead, Amazon recommends providing multiple instance types. If the "Request Spot Instances" checkbox is enabled for a node group, then you will have the opportunity to provide multiple instance types. + +>**Note** +>Any selection you made in the instance type dropdown will be ignored in this situation and you must specify at least one instance type to the "Spot Instance Types" section. Furthermore, a launch template used with EKS cannot request spot instances. Requesting spot instances must be part of the EKS configuration. + +#### Node Group Settings + +The following settings are also configurable. All of these except for the "Node Group Name" are editable after the node group is created. + +| Option | Description | +| ------- | ------------ | +| Node Group Name | The name of the node group. | +| Desired ASG Size | The desired number of instances. | +| Maximum ASG Size | The maximum number of instances.

Private clusters in GKE have the option of exposing the control plane endpoint as a publicly accessible address or as a private address. This is different from other Kubernetes providers, which may refer to clusters with private control plane endpoints as "private clusters" but still allow traffic to and from nodes. You may want to create a cluster with private nodes, with or without a public control plane endpoint, depending on your organization's networking and security requirements. A GKE cluster provisioned from Rancher can use isolated nodes by selecting "Private Cluster" in the Cluster Options (under "Show advanced options"). The control plane endpoint can optionally be made private by selecting "Enable Private Endpoint". + +### Private Nodes + +Because the nodes in a private cluster only have internal IP addresses, they will not be able to install the cluster agent and Rancher will not be able to fully manage the cluster.

While the cluster is provisioning, Rancher will provide a registration command to run on the cluster. Download the [kubeconfig](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/cluster-access-for-kubectl) for the new cluster and run the provided kubectl command on the cluster. Gaining access +to the cluster in order to run this command can be done by creating a temporary node or using an existing node in the VPC, or by logging on to or creating an SSH tunnel through one of the cluster nodes. + +#### Direct access + +If the Rancher server is run on the same VPC as the cluster's control plane, it will have direct access to the control plane's private endpoint.

Those fields become managed once their value has been changed by Rancher. + +UpstreamSpec represents the cluster as it is in the hosted Kubernetes provider and is refreshed on an interval of 5 minutes. After the UpstreamSpec has been refreshed, Rancher checks if the cluster has an update in progress. If it is updating, nothing further is done.

To use EKS as an example, a cluster may have PrivateAccess as a managed field. If PrivateAccess is false and then enabled in EKS console, then finishes at 11:01, and then tags are updated from Rancher before 11:05 the value will likely be overwritten. This would also occur if tags were updated while the cluster was processing the update. If the cluster was registered and the PrivateAccess fields was nil then this issue should not occur in the aforementioned case. diff --git a/content/rancher/v2.6/en/cluster-admin/nodes/_index.md b/content/rancher/v2.6/en/cluster-admin/nodes/_index.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..ca88ce4ab49 --- /dev/null +++ b/content/rancher/v2.6/en/cluster-admin/nodes/_index.md @@ -0,0 +1,205 @@ +--- +title: Nodes and Node Pools +weight: 2030 +--- + +After you launch a Kubernetes cluster in Rancher, you can manage individual nodes from the cluster's **Node** tab.

According to the [official Kubernetes documentation on namespaces,](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/namespaces/) + +> Kubernetes supports multiple virtual clusters backed by the same physical cluster. These virtual clusters are called namespaces. [...] Namespaces are intended for use in environments with many users spread across multiple teams, or projects. For clusters with a few to tens of users, you should not need to create or think about namespaces at all. + +Namespaces provide the following functionality: + +- **Providing a scope for names:** Names of resources need to be unique within a namespace, but not across namespaces. Namespaces can not be nested inside one another and each Kubernetes resource can only be in one namespace. +- **Resource quotas:** Namespaces provide a way to divide cluster resources between multiple users. + +You can assign resources at the project level so that each namespace in the project can use them. You can also bypass this inheritance by assigning resources explicitly to a namespace. + +You can assign the following resources directly to namespaces: + +- [Workloads]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/k8s-in-rancher/workloads/) +- [Load Balancers/Ingress]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/k8s-in-rancher/load-balancers-and-ingress/) +- [Service Discovery Records]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/k8s-in-rancher/service-discovery/) +- [Persistent Volume Claims]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/k8s-in-rancher/volumes-and-storage/persistent-volume-claims/) +- [Certificates]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/k8s-in-rancher/certificates/) +- [ConfigMaps]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/k8s-in-rancher/configmaps/) +- [Registries]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/k8s-in-rancher/registries/) +- [Secrets]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/k8s-in-rancher/secrets/) + +To manage permissions in a vanilla Kubernetes cluster, cluster admins configure role-based access policies for each namespace. With Rancher, user permissions are assigned on the project level instead, and permissions are automatically inherited by any namespace owned by the particular project. + +For more information on creating and moving namespaces, see [Namespaces]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/project-admin/namespaces/). + +### Role-based access control issues with namespaces and kubectl + +Because projects are a concept introduced by Rancher, kubectl does not have the capability to restrict the creation of namespaces to a project the creator has access to. + +This means that when standard users with project-scoped permissions create a namespaces with `kubectl`, it may be unusable because `kubectl` doesn't require the new namespace to be scoped within a certain project. + +If your permissions are restricted to the project level, it is better to [create a namespace through Rancher]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/project-admin/namespaces/) to ensure that you will have permission to access the namespace. + +If a standard user is a project owner, the user will be able to create namespaces within that project. The Rancher UI will prevent that user from creating namespaces outside the scope of the projects they have access to. + +# About Projects + +In terms of hierarchy: + +- Clusters contain projects +- Projects contain namespaces + +You can use projects to support multi-tenancy, so that a team can access a project within a cluster without having access to other projects in the same cluster. + +In the base version of Kubernetes, features like role-based access rights or cluster resources are assigned to individual namespaces. A project allows you to save time by giving an individual or a team access to multiple namespaces simultaneously. + +You can use projects to perform actions such as: + +- Assign users to a group of namespaces (i.e., [project membership]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/k8s-in-rancher/projects-and-namespaces/project-members)). +- Assign users specific roles in a project. A role can be owner, member, read-only, or [custom]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/admin-settings/rbac/default-custom-roles/). +- Assign resources to the project. +- Assign Pod Security Policies. + +When you create a cluster, two projects are automatically created within it: + +- [Default Project](#the-cluster-s-default-project) +- [System Project](#the-system-project) + +### The Cluster's Default Project + +When you provision a cluster with Rancher, it automatically creates a `default` project for the cluster. This is a project you can use to get started with your cluster, but you can always delete it and replace it with projects that have more descriptive names. + +If you don't have a need for more than the default namespace, you also do not need more than the **Default** project in Rancher. + +If you require another level of organization beyond the **Default** project, you can create more projects in Rancher to isolate namespaces, applications and resources. + +### The System Project + +When troubleshooting, you can view the `system` project to check if important namespaces in the Kubernetes system are working properly. This easily accessible project saves you from troubleshooting individual system namespace containers. + +To open it, open the **Global** menu, and then select the `system` project for your cluster. + +The `system` project: + +- Is automatically created when you provision a cluster. +- Lists all namespaces that exist in `v3/settings/system-namespaces`, if they exist. +- Allows you to add more namespaces or move its namespaces to other projects. +- Cannot be deleted because it's required for cluster operations. + +>**Note:** In RKE clusters where the project network isolation option is enabled, the `system` project overrides the project network isolation option so that it can communicate with other projects, collect logs, and check health. + +# Project Authorization + +Standard users are only authorized for project access in two situations: + +- An administrator, cluster owner or cluster member explicitly adds the standard user to the project's **Members** tab. +- Standard users can access projects that they create themselves. + +# Pod Security Policies + +Rancher extends Kubernetes to allow the application of [Pod Security Policies](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/policy/pod-security-policy/) at the [project level]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/project-admin/pod-security-policies) in addition to the [cluster level.](../pod-security-policy) However, as a best practice, we recommend applying Pod Security Policies at the cluster level. + +# Creating Projects + +This section describes how to create a new project with a name and with optional pod security policy, members, and resource quotas. + +1.

Select the **Volume Plugin** for the disk type or service that you're using. When adding storage to a cluster that's hosted by a cloud provider, use the cloud provider's plug-in for cloud storage. For example, if you have a Amazon EC2 cluster and you want to use cloud storage for it, you must use the `Amazon EBS Disk` volume plugin. + +1. Enter the **Capacity** of your volume in gigabytes. + +1. Complete the **Plugin Configuration** form. Each plugin type requires information specific to the vendor of disk type. For help regarding each plugin's form and the information that's required, refer to the plug-in's vendor documentation. + +1. Optional: In the **Customize** form, configure the [access modes.](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/#access-modes) This options sets how many nodes can access the volume, along with the node read/write permissions.

This behavior makes a deployment resource unusable for scaling beyond a single replica if it consumes vSphere volumes. + +Even using a deployment resource with just a single replica may result in a deadlock situation while updating the deployment.

They're similar to a voucher that your deployment can redeem for storage access. A PVC is mounted into a workloads as a volume so that the workload can claim its specified share of the persistent storage. + +To access persistent storage, a pod must have a PVC mounted as a volume. This PVC lets your deployment application store its data in an external location, so that if a pod fails, it can be replaced with a new pod and continue accessing its data stored externally, as though an outage never occurred. + +Each Rancher project contains a list of PVCs that you've created, available from **Resources > Workloads > Volumes.** You can reuse these PVCs when creating deployments in the future. + +### PVCs are Required for Both New and Existing Persistent Storage + +A PVC is required for pods to use any persistent storage, regardless of whether the workload is intended to use storage that already exists, or the workload will need to dynamically provision new storage on demand. + +If you are setting up existing storage for a workload, the workload mounts a PVC, which refers to a PV, which corresponds to existing storage infrastructure. + +If a workload should request new storage, the workload mounts PVC, which refers to a storage class, which has the capability to create a new PV along with its underlying storage infrastructure. + +Rancher lets you create as many PVCs within a project as you'd like. + +You can mount PVCs to a deployment as you create it, or later, after the deployment is running. + +# Setting up Existing Storage with a PVC and PV + +Your pods can store data in [volumes,](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/) but if the pod fails, that data is lost. To solve this issue, Kubernetes offers persistent volumes (PVs), which are Kubernetes resources that correspond to external storage disks or file systems that your pods can access. If a pod crashes, its replacement pod can access the data in persistent storage without any data loss. + +PVs can represent a physical disk or file system that you host on premise, or a vendor-hosted storage resource, such as Amazon EBS or Azure Disk. + +Creating a persistent volume in Rancher will not create a storage volume. It only creates a Kubernetes resource that maps to an existing volume. Therefore, before you can create a persistent volume as a Kubernetes resource, you must have storage provisioned. + +> **Important:** PVs are created at the cluster level, which means that in a multi-tenant cluster, teams with access to separate namespaces could have access to the same PV. + +### Binding PVs to PVCs + +When pods are set up to use persistent storage, they mount a persistent volume claim (PVC) that is mounted the same way as any other Kubernetes volume. When each PVC is created, the Kubernetes master considers it to be a request for storage and binds it to a PV that matches the minimum resource requirements of the PVC. Not every PVC is guaranteed to be bound to a PV. According to the Kubernetes [documentation,](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/) + +> Claims will remain unbound indefinitely if a matching volume does not exist. Claims will be bound as matching volumes become available. For example, a cluster provisioned with many 50Gi PVs would not match a PVC requesting 100Gi. The PVC can be bound when a 100Gi PV is added to the cluster. + +In other words, you can create unlimited PVCs, but they will only be bound to PVs if the Kubernetes master can find a sufficient PVs that has at least the amount of disk space required by the PVC. + +To dynamically provision new storage, the PVC mounted in the pod would have to correspond to a storage class instead of a persistent volume. + +# Provisioning New Storage with a PVC and Storage Class + +Storage Classes allow you to create PVs dynamically without having to create persistent storage in an infrastructure provider first. + +For example, if a workload is bound to a PVC and the PVC refers to an Amazon EBS Storage Class, the storage class can dynamically create an EBS volume and a corresponding PV. + +The Kubernetes master will then bind the newly created PV to your workload's PVC, allowing your workload to use the persistent storage. + diff --git a/content/rancher/v2.6/en/cluster-admin/volumes-and-storage/iscsi-volumes/_index.md b/content/rancher/v2.6/en/cluster-admin/volumes-and-storage/iscsi-volumes/_index.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..154ac03dd04 --- /dev/null +++ b/content/rancher/v2.6/en/cluster-admin/volumes-and-storage/iscsi-volumes/_index.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: iSCSI Volumes +weight: 6000 +--- + +In [Rancher Launched Kubernetes clusters]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/) that store data on iSCSI volumes, you may experience an issue where kubelets fail to automatically connect with iSCSI volumes.

Therefore, if you add taints to a node pool that have existing nodes, the taints won't apply to existing nodes in the node pool, but any new node added into the node pool will get the taint. + +When there are taints on the node pool and node template, if there is no conflict with the same key and effect of the taints, all taints will be added to the nodes. If there are taints with the same key and different effect, the taints from the node pool will override the taints from the node template. + +### About Node Auto-replace + +If a node is in a node pool, Rancher can automatically replace unreachable nodes. Rancher will use the existing node template for the given node pool to recreate the node if it becomes inactive for a specified number of minutes. + +> **Important:** Self-healing node pools are designed to help you replace worker nodes for stateless applications. It is not recommended to enable node auto-replace on a node pool of master nodes or nodes with persistent volumes attached, because VMs are treated ephemerally. When a node in a node pool loses connectivity with the cluster, its persistent volumes are destroyed, resulting in data loss for stateful applications. + +Node auto-replace works on top of the Kubernetes node controller. The node controller periodically checks the status of all the nodes (configurable via the `--node-monitor-period` flag of the `kube-controller`). When a node is unreachable, the node controller will taint that node. When this occurs, Rancher will begin its deletion countdown. You can configure the amount of time Rancher waits to delete the node. If the taint is not removed before the deletion countdown ends, Rancher will proceed to delete the node object. Rancher will then provision a node in accordance with the set quantity of the node pool. + +### Enabling Node Auto-replace + +When you create the node pool, you can specify the amount of time in minutes that Rancher will wait to replace an unresponsive node. + +1. In the form for creating a cluster, go to the **Node Pools** section. +1. Go to the node pool where you want to enable node auto-replace. In the **Recreate Unreachable After** field, enter the number of minutes that Rancher should wait for a node to respond before replacing the node. +1. Fill out the rest of the form for creating a cluster. + +**Result:** Node auto-replace is enabled for the node pool. + +You can also enable node auto-replace after the cluster is created with the following steps: + +1. From the Global view, click the Clusters tab. +1. Go to the cluster where you want to enable node auto-replace, click the vertical ⋮ **(…)**, and click **Edit.** +1. In the **Node Pools** section, go to the node pool where you want to enable node auto-replace. In the **Recreate Unreachable After** field, enter the number of minutes that Rancher should wait for a node to respond before replacing the node. +1. Click **Save.** + +**Result:** Node auto-replace is enabled for the node pool. + +### Disabling Node Auto-replace + +You can disable node auto-replace from the Rancher UI with the following steps: + +1. From the Global view, click the Clusters tab. +1. Go to the cluster where you want to enable node auto-replace, click the vertical ⋮ **(…)**, and click **Edit.** +1. In the **Node Pools** section, go to the node pool where you want to enable node auto-replace. In the **Recreate Unreachable After** field, enter 0. +1.

The global default registry is intended to be used for air-gapped setups, for registries that do not require credentials. The cluster-level private registry is intended to be used in all setups in which the private registry requires credentials. + +If your private registry requires credentials, you need to pass the credentials to Rancher by editing the cluster options for each cluster that needs to pull images from the registry. + +The private registry configuration option tells Rancher where to pull the [system images]({{}}/rke/latest/en/config-options/system-images/) or [addon images]({{}}/rke/latest/en/config-options/add-ons/) that will be used in your cluster. + +- **System images** are components needed to maintain the Kubernetes cluster. +- **Add-ons** are used to deploy several cluster components, including network plug-ins, the ingress controller, the DNS provider, or the metrics server. + +See the [RKE documentation on private registries]({{}}/rke/latest/en/config-options/private-registries/) for more information on the private registry for components applied during the provisioning of the cluster. + +### Authorized Cluster Endpoint + +Authorized Cluster Endpoint can be used to directly access the Kubernetes API server, without requiring communication through Rancher. + +> The authorized cluster endpoint only works on Rancher-launched Kubernetes clusters. In other words, it only works in clusters where Rancher [used RKE]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/overview/architecture/#tools-for-provisioning-kubernetes-clusters) to provision the cluster. It is not available for clusters in a hosted Kubernetes provider, such as Amazon's EKS. + +This is enabled by default in Rancher-launched Kubernetes clusters, using the IP of the node with the `controlplane` role and the default Kubernetes self signed certificates. + +For more detail on how an authorized cluster endpoint works and why it is used, refer to the [architecture section.]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/overview/architecture/#4-authorized-cluster-endpoint) + +We recommend using a load balancer with the authorized cluster endpoint.

Rancher's cluster config files used to have the same structure as [RKE config files,]({{}}/rke/latest/en/example-yamls/) but the structure changed so that in Rancher, RKE cluster config items are separated from non-RKE config items. Therefore, configuration for your cluster needs to be nested under the `rancher_kubernetes_engine_config` directive in the cluster config file.

If your DHCP options set is associated with a VPC that has instances with multiple operating systems, specify only one domain name. + +### Architecture Requirements + +The Kubernetes cluster management nodes (`etcd` and `controlplane`) must be run on Linux nodes. + +The `worker` nodes, which is where your workloads will be deployed on, will typically be Windows nodes, but there must be at least one `worker` node that is run on Linux in order to run the Rancher cluster agent, DNS, metrics server, and Ingress related containers. + +We recommend the minimum three-node architecture listed in the table below, but you can always add additional Linux and Windows workers to scale up your cluster for redundancy: + + + +| Node | Operating System | Kubernetes Cluster Role(s) | Purpose | +| ------ | --------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | +| Node 1 | Linux (Ubuntu Server 18.04 recommended) | Control plane, etcd, worker | Manage the Kubernetes cluster | +| Node 2 | Linux (Ubuntu Server 18.04 recommended) | Worker | Support the Rancher Cluster agent, Metrics server, DNS, and Ingress for the cluster | +| Node 3 | Windows (Windows Server core version 1809 or above) | Worker | Run your Windows containers | + +### Container Requirements + +Windows requires that containers must be built on the same Windows Server version that they are being deployed on. Therefore, containers must be built on Windows Server core version 1809 or above. If you have existing containers built for an earlier Windows Server core version, they must be re-built on Windows Server core version 1809 or above. + +### Cloud Provider Specific Requirements + +If you set a Kubernetes cloud provider in your cluster, some additional steps are required. You might want to set a cloud provider if you want to want to leverage a cloud provider's capabilities, for example, to automatically provision storage, load balancers, or other infrastructure for your cluster. Refer to [this page]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/options/cloud-providers/) for details on how to configure a cloud provider cluster of nodes that meet the prerequisites. + +If you are using the GCE (Google Compute Engine) cloud provider, you must do the following: + +- Enable the GCE cloud provider in the `cluster.yml` by following [these steps.]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/cloud-providers/gce) +- When provisioning the cluster in Rancher, choose **Custom cloud provider** as the cloud provider in the Rancher UI. + +# Tutorial: How to Create a Cluster with Windows Support + +This tutorial describes how to create a Rancher-provisioned cluster with the three nodes in the [recommended architecture.](#guide-architecture) + +When you provision a cluster with Rancher on existing nodes, you will add nodes to the cluster by installing the [Rancher agent]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/custom-nodes/agent-options/) on each one. When you create or edit your cluster from the Rancher UI, you will see a **Customize Node Run Command** that you can run on each server to add it to your cluster. + +To set up a cluster with support for Windows nodes and containers, you will need to complete the tasks below. + + + +1.

Create the Cluster on Existing Nodes + +The instructions for creating a Windows cluster on existing nodes are very similar to the general [instructions for creating a custom cluster]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/custom-nodes/) with some Windows-specific requirements. + +1. From the **Global** view, click on the **Clusters** tab and click **Add Cluster**. +1. Click **From existing nodes (Custom)**. +1. Enter a name for your cluster in the **Cluster Name** text box. +1. In the **Kubernetes Version** dropdown menu, select v1.15 or above. +1. In the **Network Provider** field, select **Flannel.** +1. In the **Windows Support** section, click **Enable.** +1. Optional: After you enable Windows support, you will be able to choose the Flannel backend. There are two network options: [**Host Gateway (L2bridge)**](https://github.com/coreos/flannel/blob/master/Documentation/backends.md#host-gw) and [**VXLAN (Overlay)**](https://github.com/coreos/flannel/blob/master/Documentation/backends.md#vxlan). The default option is **VXLAN (Overlay)** mode. +1. Click **Next**. + +> **Important:** For Host Gateway (L2bridge) networking, it's best to use the same Layer 2 network for all nodes. Otherwise, you need to configure the route rules for them. For details, refer to the [documentation on configuring cloud-hosted VM routes.]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/windows-clusters/host-gateway-requirements/#cloud-hosted-vm-routes-configuration) You will also need to [disable private IP address checks]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/windows-clusters/host-gateway-requirements/#disabling-private-ip-address-checks) if you are using Amazon EC2, Google GCE, or Azure VM. + +# 3. Add Nodes to the Cluster + +This section describes how to register your Linux and Worker nodes to your cluster. You will run a command on each node, which will install the Rancher agent and allow Rancher to manage each node. + +### Add Linux Master Node + +In this section, we fill out a form on the Rancher UI to get a custom command to install the Rancher agent on the Linux master node. Then we will copy the command and run it on our Linux master node to register the node in the cluster. + +The first node in your cluster should be a Linux host has both the **Control Plane** and **etcd** roles. At a minimum, both of these roles must be enabled for this node, and this node must be added to your cluster before you can add Windows hosts. + +1. In the **Node Operating System** section, click **Linux**. +1. In the **Node Role** section, choose at least **etcd** and **Control Plane**. We recommend selecting all three. +1. Optional: If you click **Show advanced options,** you can customize the settings for the [Rancher agent]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/admin-settings/agent-options/) and [node labels.](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/labels/) +1. Copy the command displayed on the screen to your clipboard. +1. SSH into your Linux host and run the command that you copied to your clipboard. +1. When you are finished provisioning your Linux node(s), select **Done**. + +**Result:** + +Your cluster is created and assigned a state of **Provisioning.** Rancher is standing up your cluster. + +You can access your cluster after its state is updated to **Active.** + +**Active** clusters are assigned two Projects: + +- `Default`, containing the `default` namespace +- `System`, containing the `cattle-system`, `ingress-nginx`, `kube-public`, and `kube-system` namespaces + + +It may take a few minutes for the node to be registered in your cluster. + +### Add Linux Worker Node + +In this section, we run a command to register the Linux worker node to the cluster. + +After the initial provisioning of your cluster, your cluster only has a single Linux host. Next, we add another Linux `worker` host, which will be used to support _Rancher cluster agent_, _Metrics server_, _DNS_ and _Ingress_ for your cluster. + +1. From the **Global** view, click **Clusters.** +1. Go to the cluster that you created and click **⋮ > Edit.** +1. Scroll down to **Node Operating System**. Choose **Linux**. +1. In the **Customize Node Run Command** section, go to the **Node Options** and select the **Worker** role. +1. Copy the command displayed on screen to your clipboard. +1. Log in to your Linux host using a remote Terminal connection. Run the command copied to your clipboard. +1. From **Rancher**, click **Save**. + +**Result:** The **Worker** role is installed on your Linux host, and the node registers with Rancher. It may take a few minutes for the node to be registered in your cluster. + +> **Note:** Taints on Linux Worker Nodes +> +> For each Linux worker node added into the cluster, the following taints will be added to Linux worker node. By adding this taint to the Linux worker node, any workloads added to the Windows cluster will be automatically scheduled to the Windows worker node. If you want to schedule workloads specifically onto the Linux worker node, you will need to add tolerations to those workloads. + +> | Taint Key | Taint Value | Taint Effect | +> | -------------- | ----------- | ------------ | +> | `cattle.io/os` | `linux` | `NoSchedule` | + +### Add a Windows Worker Node + +In this section, we run a command to register the Windows worker node to the cluster. + +You can add Windows hosts to the cluster by editing the cluster and choosing the **Windows** option. + +1. From the **Global** view, click **Clusters.** +1. Go to the cluster that you created and click **⋮ > Edit.** +1. Scroll down to **Node Operating System**. Choose **Windows**. Note: You will see that the **worker** role is the only available role. +1. Copy the command displayed on screen to your clipboard. +1. Log in to your Windows host using your preferred tool, such as [Microsoft Remote Desktop](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-clients). Run the command copied to your clipboard in the **Command Prompt (CMD)**. +1. From Rancher, click **Save**. +1. Optional: Repeat these instructions if you want to add more Windows nodes to your cluster. + +**Result:** The **Worker** role is installed on your Windows host, and the node registers with Rancher. It may take a few minutes for the node to be registered in your cluster. You now have a Windows Kubernetes cluster. + +### Optional Next Steps + +After creating your cluster, you can access it through the Rancher UI. As a best practice, we recommend setting up these alternate ways of accessing your cluster: + +- **Access your cluster with the kubectl CLI:** Follow [these steps]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-admin/cluster-access/kubectl/#accessing-clusters-with-kubectl-on-your-workstation) to access clusters with kubectl on your workstation. In this case, you will be authenticated through the Rancher server’s authentication proxy, then Rancher will connect you to the downstream cluster. This method lets you manage the cluster without the Rancher UI. +- **Access your cluster with the kubectl CLI, using the authorized cluster endpoint:** Follow [these steps]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-admin/cluster-access/kubectl/#authenticating-directly-with-a-downstream-cluster) to access your cluster with kubectl directly, without authenticating through the Rancher server.

Choose the multi-cluster application you want to take one of these actions on and click the **⋮**. Select one of the following options: + + * **Clone**: Creates another multi-cluster application with the same configuration. By using this option, you can easily duplicate a multi-cluster application. + * **Upgrade**: Upgrade your multi-cluster application to change some part of the configuration. When performing an upgrade for multi-cluster application, the [upgrade strategy](#upgrades) can be modified if you have the correct [access type](#members). + * **Rollback**: Rollback your application to a specific version. If after an upgrade, there are issues for your multi-cluster application for one or more of your [targets](#targets), Rancher has stored up to 10 versions of the multi-cluster application.

With this model you have an isolated L2 network for containers without needing routing distribution, all at the cost of minimal overhead in terms of processing and increased IP package size, which comes from an IP header generated by overlay encapsulation. Encapsulation information is distributed by UDP ports between Kubernetes workers, interchanging network control plane information about how MAC addresses can be reached. Common encapsulation used in this kind of network model is VXLAN, Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), and IP-in-IP. + +In simple terms, this network model generates a kind of network bridge extended between Kubernetes workers, where pods are connected. + +This network model is used when an extended L2 bridge is preferred. This network model is sensitive to L3 network latencies of the Kubernetes workers. If datacenters are in distinct geolocations, be sure to have low latencies between them to avoid eventual network segmentation. + +CNI network providers using this network model include Flannel, Canal, and Weave. + +![Encapsulated Network]({{}}/img/rancher/encapsulated-network.png) + +#### What is an Unencapsulated Network? + +This network model provides an L3 network to route packets between containers. This model doesn't generate an isolated l2 network, nor generates overhead. These benefits come at the cost of Kubernetes workers having to manage any route distribution that's needed. Instead of using IP headers for encapsulation, this network model uses a network protocol between Kubernetes workers to distribute routing information to reach pods, such as [BGP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_Gateway_Protocol). + +In simple terms, this network model generates a kind of network router extended between Kubernetes workers, which provides information about how to reach pods. + +This network model is used when a routed L3 network is preferred. This mode dynamically updates routes at the OS level for Kubernetes workers. It's less sensitive to latency. + +CNI network providers using this network model include Calico and Romana. + +![Unencapsulated Network]({{}}/img/rancher/unencapsulated-network.png) + +### What CNI Providers are Provided by Rancher? + +Out-of-the-box, Rancher provides the following CNI network providers for Kubernetes clusters: Canal, Flannel, Calico and Weave. You can choose your CNI network provider when you create new Kubernetes clusters from Rancher. + +#### Canal + +![Canal Logo]({{}}/img/rancher/canal-logo.png) + +Canal is a CNI network provider that gives you the best of Flannel and Calico. It allows users to easily deploy Calico and Flannel networking together as a unified networking solution, combining Calico’s network policy enforcement with the rich superset of Calico (unencapsulated) and/or Flannel (encapsulated) network connectivity options. + +In Rancher, Canal is the default CNI network provider combined with Flannel and VXLAN encapsulation. + +Kubernetes workers should open UDP port `8472` (VXLAN) and TCP port `9099` (healthcheck). For details, refer to [the port requirements for user clusters.]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-provisioning/node-requirements/) + +{{< img "/img/rancher/canal-diagram.png" "Canal Diagram">}} + +For more information, see the [Canal GitHub Page.](https://github.com/projectcalico/canal) + +#### Flannel + +![Flannel Logo]({{}}/img/rancher/flannel-logo.png) + +Flannel is a simple and easy way to configure L3 network fabric designed for Kubernetes. Flannel runs a single binary agent named flanneld on each host, which is responsible for allocating a subnet lease to each host out of a larger, preconfigured address space. Flannel uses either the Kubernetes API or etcd directly to store the network configuration, the allocated subnets, and any auxiliary data (such as the host's public IP). Packets are forwarded using one of several backend mechanisms, with the default encapsulation being [VXLAN](https://github.com/coreos/flannel/blob/master/Documentation/backends.md#vxlan). + +Encapsulated traffic is unencrypted by default. Therefore, flannel provides an experimental backend for encryption, [IPSec](https://github.com/coreos/flannel/blob/master/Documentation/backends.md#ipsec), which makes use of [strongSwan](https://www.strongswan.org/) to establish encrypted IPSec tunnels between Kubernetes workers. + +Kubernetes workers should open UDP port `8472` (VXLAN) and TCP port `9099` (healthcheck). See [the port requirements for user clusters]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-provisioning/node-requirements/#networking-requirements) for more details. + +![Flannel Diagram]({{}}/img/rancher/flannel-diagram.png) + +For more information, see the [Flannel GitHub Page](https://github.com/coreos/flannel). + +#### Calico + +![Calico Logo]({{}}/img/rancher/calico-logo.png) + +Calico enables networking and network policy in Kubernetes clusters across the cloud. Calico uses a pure, unencapsulated IP network fabric and policy engine to provide networking for your Kubernetes workloads. Workloads are able to communicate over both cloud infrastructure and on-prem using BGP. + +Calico also provides a stateless IP-in-IP encapsulation mode that can be used, if necessary. Calico also offers policy isolation, allowing you to secure and govern your Kubernetes workloads using advanced ingress and egress policies. + +Kubernetes workers should open TCP port `179` (BGP). See [the port requirements for user clusters]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-provisioning/node-requirements/#networking-requirements) for more details. + +![Calico Diagram]({{}}/img/rancher/calico-diagram.svg) + +For more information, see the following pages: + +- [Project Calico Official Site](https://www.projectcalico.org/) +- [Project Calico GitHub Page](https://github.com/projectcalico/calico) + + +#### Weave + +![Weave Logo]({{}}/img/rancher/weave-logo.png) + +Weave enables networking and network policy in Kubernetes clusters across the cloud. Additionally, it support encrypting traffic between the peers. + +Kubernetes workers should open TCP port `6783` (control port), UDP port `6783` and UDP port `6784` (data ports).

For more information, see [What Network Models are Used in CNI?](#what-network-models-are-used-in-cni) + +- Route Distribution: An exterior gateway protocol designed to exchange routing and reachability information on the Internet. BGP can assist with pod-to-pod networking between clusters. This feature is a must on unencapsulated CNI network providers, and it is typically done by BGP. If you plan to build clusters split across network segments, route distribution is a feature that's nice-to-have. + +- Network Policies: Kubernetes offers functionality to enforce rules about which services can communicate with each other using network policies. This feature is stable as of Kubernetes v1.7 and is ready to use with certain networking plugins. + +- Mesh: This feature allows service-to-service networking communication between distinct Kubernetes clusters. + +- External Datastore: CNI network providers with this feature need an external datastore for its data. + +- Encryption: This feature allows cyphered and secure network control and data planes. + +- Ingress/Egress Policies: This feature allows you to manage routing control for both Kubernetes and non-Kubernetes communications. + +#### CNI Community Popularity + +The following table summarizes different GitHub metrics to give you an idea of each project's popularity and activity.

When you upgrade the RancherD binary, both the Kubernetes cluster and the Rancher Helm chart are upgraded. + +### Automated Quickstart to Deploy Rancher on Amazon EKS + +Rancher and Amazon Web Services collaborated on a quick start guide for deploying Rancher on an EKS Kubernetes cluster following AWS best practices. The deployment guide is [here.](https://aws-quickstart.github.io/quickstart-eks-rancher/) + +### Single-node Kubernetes Install + +Rancher can be installed on a single-node Kubernetes cluster. In this case, the Rancher server doesn't have high availability, which is important for running Rancher in production. + +However, this option is useful if you want to save resources by using a single node in the short term, while preserving a high-availability migration path. In the future, you can add nodes to the cluster to get a high-availability Rancher server. + +### Docker Install + +For test and demonstration purposes, Rancher can be installed with Docker on a single node. + +The Rancher backup operator can be used to migrate Rancher from the single Docker container install to an installation on a high-availability Kubernetes cluster. For details, refer to the documentation on [migrating Rancher to a new cluster.]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/backups/migrating-rancher) + +### Other Options + +There are also separate instructions for installing Rancher in an air gap environment or behind an HTTP proxy: + +| Level of Internet Access | Kubernetes Installation - Strongly Recommended | Docker Installation | +| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ---------- | +| With direct access to the Internet | [Docs]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/install-rancher-on-k8s/) | [Docs]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/other-installation-methods/single-node-docker) | +| Behind an HTTP proxy | [Docs]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/other-installation-methods/behind-proxy/) | These [docs,]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/other-installation-methods/single-node-docker) plus this [configuration]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/other-installation-methods/single-node-docker/proxy/) | +| In an air gap environment | [Docs]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/other-installation-methods/air-gap) | [Docs]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/other-installation-methods/air-gap) | + +We recommend installing Rancher on a Kubernetes cluster, because in a multi-node cluster, the Rancher management server becomes highly available.

Rancher utilizes `cert-manager` to issue and maintain its certificates. Rancher will generate a CA certificate of its own, and sign a cert using that CA. `cert-manager` is then responsible for managing that certificate. +- **Let's Encrypt:** The Let's Encrypt option also uses `cert-manager`. However, in this case, cert-manager is combined with a special Issuer for Let's Encrypt that performs all actions (including request and validation) necessary for getting a Let's Encrypt issued cert. This configuration uses HTTP validation (`HTTP-01`), so the load balancer must have a public DNS record and be accessible from the internet. +- **Bring your own certificate:** This option allows you to bring your own public- or private-CA signed certificate. Rancher will use that certificate to secure websocket and HTTPS traffic. In this case, you must upload this certificate (and associated key) as PEM-encoded files with the name `tls.crt` and `tls.key`. If you are using a private CA, you must also upload that certificate. This is due to the fact that this private CA may not be trusted by your nodes. Rancher will take that CA certificate, and generate a checksum from it, which the various Rancher components will use to validate their connection to Rancher. + + +| Configuration | Helm Chart Option | Requires cert-manager | +| ------------------------------ | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------- | +| Rancher Generated Certificates (Default) | `ingress.tls.source=rancher` | [yes](#5-install-cert-manager) | +| Let’s Encrypt | `ingress.tls.source=letsEncrypt` | [yes](#5-install-cert-manager) | +| Certificates from Files | `ingress.tls.source=secret` | no | + +### 4.

Install the Cloud SDK by following [these steps.](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install) The Cloud SDK includes the `gcloud` command-line tool. The steps vary based on your OS. +1. After installing Cloud SDK, install the `kubectl` command-line tool by running the following command: + + ``` + gcloud components install kubectl + ``` + In a later step, `kubectl` will be configured to use the new GKE cluster. +1. [Install Helm 3](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/) if it is not already installed. +1. Enable Helm experimental [support for OCI images](https://github.com/helm/community/blob/master/hips/hip-0006.md) with the `HELM_EXPERIMENTAL_OCI` variable. Add the following line to `~/.bashrc` (or `~/.bash_profile` in macOS, or wherever your shell stores environment variables): + + ``` + export HELM_EXPERIMENTAL_OCI=1 + ``` +1. Run the following command to load your updated `.bashrc` file: + + ``` + source ~/.bashrc + ``` + If you are running macOS, use this command: + ``` + source ~/.bash_profile + ``` + + + +# 3. Configure the gcloud CLI + + Set up default gcloud settings using one of the following methods: + +- Using gcloud init, if you want to be walked through setting defaults. +- Using gcloud config, to individually set your project ID, zone, and region. + +{{% tabs %}} +{{% tab "Using gloud init" %}} + +1. Run gcloud init and follow the directions: + + ``` + gcloud init + ``` + If you are using SSH on a remote server, use the --console-only flag to prevent the command from launching a browser: + + ``` + gcloud init --console-only + ``` +2. Follow the instructions to authorize gcloud to use your Google Cloud account and select the new project that you created. + +{{% /tab %}} +{{% tab "Using gcloud config" %}} +{{% /tab %}} +{{% /tabs %}} + +# 4. Confirm that gcloud is configured correctly + +Run: + +``` +gcloud config list +``` + +The output should resemble the following: + +``` +[compute] +region = us-west1 # Your chosen region +zone = us-west1-b # Your chosen zone +[core] +account = +disable_usage_reporting = True +project = + +Your active configuration is: [default] +``` + +# 5. Create a GKE Cluster + +The following command creates a three-node cluster. + +Replace `cluster-name` with the name of your new cluster. + +``` +gcloud container clusters create cluster-name --num-nodes=3 +``` + +# 6. Get Authentication Credentials + +After creating your cluster, you need to get authentication credentials to interact with the cluster: + +``` +gcloud container clusters get-credentials cluster-name +``` + +This command configures `kubectl` to use the cluster you created. + +# 7. Install an Ingress + +The cluster needs an Ingress so that Rancher can be accessed from outside the cluster. + +The following command installs an `nginx-ingress-controller` with a LoadBalancer service: + +``` +helm repo add ingress-nginx https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx +helm repo update +helm upgrade --install \ + ingress-nginx ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx \ + --namespace ingress-nginx \ + --set controller.service.type=LoadBalancer \ + --version 3.12.0 \ + --create-namespace +``` + +# 8. Get the Load Balancer IP + +To get the address of the load balancer, run: + +``` +kubectl get service ingress-nginx-controller --namespace=ingress-nginx +``` + +The result should look similar to the following: + +``` +NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE +ingress-nginx-controller LoadBalancer 10.3.244.156 35.233.206.34 80:31876/TCP,443:32497/TCP 81s +``` + +Save the `EXTERNAL-IP`. + +# 9. Set up DNS + +External traffic to the Rancher server will need to be directed at the load balancer you created. + +Set up a DNS to point at the external IP that you saved.

For help, refer to the Google Cloud documentation about [managing DNS records.](https://cloud.google.com/dns/docs/records) + +# 10. Install the Rancher Helm chart + +Next, install the Rancher Helm chart by following the instructions on [this page.]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/install-rancher-on-k8s/#install-the-rancher-helm-chart) The Helm instructions are the same for installing Rancher on any Kubernetes distribution. + +Use the DNS name from the previous step as the Rancher server URL when you install Rancher.

To find out which versions of Kubernetes are supported for your Rancher version, refer to the [support maintenance terms.](https://rancher.com/support-maintenance-terms/) + +To specify the K3s version, use the INSTALL_K3S_VERSION environment variable when running the K3s installation script. + +Obtain the K3s binary from the [releases](https://github.com/rancher/k3s/releases) page, matching the same version used to get the airgap images tar. +Also obtain the K3s install script at https://get.k3s.io + +Place the binary in `/usr/local/bin` on each node. +Place the install script anywhere on each node, and name it `install.sh`. + +Install K3s on each server: + +``` +INSTALL_K3S_SKIP_DOWNLOAD=true ./install.sh +``` + +Install K3s on each agent: + +``` +INSTALL_K3S_SKIP_DOWNLOAD=true K3S_URL=https://myserver:6443 K3S_TOKEN=mynodetoken ./install.sh +``` + +Note, take care to ensure you replace `myserver` with the IP or valid DNS of the server and replace `mynodetoken` with the node-token from the server. +The node-token is on the server at `/var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/node-token` + +>**Note:** K3s additionally provides a `--resolv-conf` flag for kubelets, which may help with configuring DNS in air-gap networks. + +### 4. Save and Start Using the kubeconfig File + +When you installed K3s on each Rancher server node, a `kubeconfig` file was created on the node at `/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml`. This file contains credentials for full access to the cluster, and you should save this file in a secure location. + +To use this `kubeconfig` file, + +1. Install [kubectl,](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/#install-kubectl) a Kubernetes command-line tool. +2. Copy the file at `/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml` and save it to the directory `~/.kube/config` on your local machine. +3. In the kubeconfig file, the `server` directive is defined as localhost. Configure the server as the DNS of your load balancer, referring to port 6443. (The Kubernetes API server will be reached at port 6443, while the Rancher server will be reached at ports 80 and 443.) Here is an example `k3s.yaml`: + +``` +apiVersion: v1 +clusters: +- cluster: + certificate-authority-data: [CERTIFICATE-DATA] + server: [LOAD-BALANCER-DNS]:6443 # Edit this line + name: default +contexts: +- context: + cluster: default + user: default + name: default +current-context: default +kind: Config +preferences: {} +users: +- name: default + user: + password: [PASSWORD] + username: admin +``` + +**Result:** You can now use `kubectl` to manage your K3s cluster. If you have more than one kubeconfig file, you can specify which one you want to use by passing in the path to the file when using `kubectl`: + +``` +kubectl --kubeconfig ~/.kube/config/k3s.yaml get pods --all-namespaces +``` + +For more information about the `kubeconfig` file, refer to the [K3s documentation]({{}}/k3s/latest/en/cluster-access/) or the [official Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/organize-cluster-access-kubeconfig/) about organizing cluster access using `kubeconfig` files. + +### Note on Upgrading + +Upgrading an air-gap environment can be accomplished in the following manner: + +1. Download the new air-gap images (tar file) from the [releases](https://github.com/rancher/k3s/releases) page for the version of K3s you will be upgrading to. Place the tar in the `/var/lib/rancher/k3s/agent/images/` directory on each node. Delete the old tar file. +2. Copy and replace the old K3s binary in `/usr/local/bin` on each node. Copy over the install script at https://get.k3s.io (as it is possible it has changed since the last release). Run the script again just as you had done in the past with the same environment variables. +3. Restart the K3s service (if not restarted automatically by installer). +{{% /tab %}} +{{% tab "RKE" %}} +We will create a Kubernetes cluster using Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE).

Set up Linux Nodes + +These hosts will be disconnected from the internet, but require being able to connect with your private registry. + +Make sure that your nodes fulfill the general installation requirements for [OS, container runtime, hardware, and networking.]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/requirements/) + +For an example of one way to set up Linux nodes, refer to this [tutorial]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/options/ec2-node) for setting up nodes as instances in Amazon EC2. + +### 2. Set up External Datastore + +The ability to run Kubernetes using a datastore other than etcd sets K3s apart from other Kubernetes distributions. This feature provides flexibility to Kubernetes operators. The available options allow you to select a datastore that best fits your use case. + +For a high-availability K3s installation, you will need to set up one of the following external databases: + +* [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) (certified against versions 10.7 and 11.5) +* [MySQL](https://www.mysql.com/) (certified against version 5.7) +* [etcd](https://etcd.io/) (certified against version 3.3.15) + +When you install Kubernetes, you will pass in details for K3s to connect to the database. + +For an example of one way to set up the database, refer to this [tutorial]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/options/rds) for setting up a MySQL database on Amazon's RDS service. + +For the complete list of options that are available for configuring a K3s cluster datastore, refer to the [K3s documentation.]({{}}/k3s/latest/en/installation/datastore/) + +### 3. Set up the Load Balancer + +You will also need to set up a load balancer to direct traffic to the Rancher replica on both nodes. That will prevent an outage of any single node from taking down communications to the Rancher management server. + +When Kubernetes gets set up in a later step, the K3s tool will deploy a Traefik Ingress controller. This controller will listen on ports 80 and 443 of the worker nodes, answering traffic destined for specific hostnames. + +When Rancher is installed (also in a later step), the Rancher system creates an Ingress resource. That Ingress tells the Traefik Ingress controller to listen for traffic destined for the Rancher hostname. The Traefik Ingress controller, when receiving traffic destined for the Rancher hostname, will forward that traffic to the running Rancher pods in the cluster. + +For your implementation, consider if you want or need to use a Layer-4 or Layer-7 load balancer: + +- **A layer-4 load balancer** is the simpler of the two choices, in which you are forwarding TCP traffic to your nodes. We recommend configuring your load balancer as a Layer 4 balancer, forwarding traffic to ports TCP/80 and TCP/443 to the Rancher management cluster nodes. The Ingress controller on the cluster will redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS and terminate SSL/TLS on port TCP/443. The Ingress controller will forward traffic to port TCP/80 to the Ingress pod in the Rancher deployment. +- **A layer-7 load balancer** is a bit more complicated but can offer features that you may want. For instance, a layer-7 load balancer is capable of handling TLS termination at the load balancer, as opposed to Rancher doing TLS termination itself.

A discussion of recommended architecture for highly available Rancher deployments can be found in our [Best Practices Guide.]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/best-practices/v2.5/rancher-server) + +# Prerequisites + +### Node Requirements + +RancherD must be launched on a Linux OS. At this time, only OSes that leverage systemd are supported. + +The Linux node needs to fulfill the [installation requirements]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/requirements) for hardware and networking. Docker is not required for RancherD installs. + +To install RancherD on SELinux Enforcing CentOS 8 nodes or RHEL 8 nodes, some [additional steps]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/requirements/#rancherd-on-selinux-enforcing-centos-8-or-rhel-8-nodes) are required. +### Root Access + +Before running the installation commands, you will need to log in as root: + +``` +sudo -s +``` + +### Fixed Registration Address + +A fixed registration address is recommended for single-node installs and required for high-availability installs with RancherD. + +The fixed registration address is an endpoint that is used for two purposes: + +- To access the Kubernetes API. So you can, for example, modify your [kubeconfig](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/organize-cluster-access-kubeconfig/) file to point to it instead of a specific node. +- To add new nodes to the Kubernetes cluster. To add nodes to the cluster later, you will run a command on the node that will specify the fixed registration address of the cluster. + +If you are installing Rancher on a single node, the fixed registration address makes it possible to add more nodes to the cluster so that you can convert the single-node install to a high-availability install without causing downtime to the cluster. If you don't set up this address when installing the single-node Kubernetes cluster, you would need to re-run the installation script with a fixed registration address in order to add new nodes to the cluster. + +The fixed registration can be the IP or hostname of any of the server nodes, but in many cases those may change over time as nodes are created and destroyed. Therefore, you should have a stable endpoint in front of the server nodes. + +This endpoint can be set up using any number of approaches, such as: + +* A layer 4 (TCP) load balancer +* Round-robin DNS +* Virtual or elastic IP addresses + +The following should be taken into consideration when configuring the load balancer or other endpoint: + +- The RancherD server process listens on port 9345 for new nodes to register. +- The Kubernetes API is served on port 6443, as normal. +- In RancherD installs, the Rancher UI is served on port 8443 by default. (This is different from Helm chart installs, where port 443 is used by default.) + +# Part I: Installing Rancher + +### 1. Set up Configurations + +To avoid certificate errors with the fixed registration address, you should launch the server with the `tls-san` parameter set. This parameter should refer to your fixed registration address. + +This option adds an additional hostname or IP as a Subject Alternative Name in the server's TLS cert, and it can be specified as a list if you would like to access the Kubernetes cluster via both the IP and the hostname. + +Create the RancherD config file at `/etc/rancher/rke2/config.yaml`: + +```yaml +token: my-shared-secret +tls-san: + - my-fixed-registration-address.com + - another-kubernetes-domain.com +``` + +The first server node establishes the secret token that other nodes would register with if they are added to the cluster. + +If you do not specify a pre-shared secret, RancherD will generate one and place it at `/var/lib/rancher/rke2/server/node-token`. + +To specify your own pre-shared secret as the token, set the `token` argument on startup. + +Installing Rancher this way will use Rancher-generated certificates. To use your own self-signed or trusted certificates, refer to the [configuration guide.]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/install-rancher-on-linux/rancherd-configuration/#certificates-for-the-rancher-server) + +For information on customizing the RancherD Helm chart values.yaml, refer to [this section.]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/install-rancher-on-linux/rancherd-configuration/#customizing-the-rancherd-helm-chart) + +### 2. Launch the first server node + +Run the RancherD installer: + +``` +curl -sfL https://get.rancher.io | sh - +``` + +The RancherD version can be specified using the `INSTALL_RANCHERD_VERSION` environment variable: + +``` +curl -sfL https://get.rancher.io | INSTALL_RANCHERD_VERSION=v2.5.4-rc6 sh - +``` + +Once installed, the `rancherd` binary will be on your PATH. You can check out its help text like this: + +``` +rancherd --help +NAME: + rancherd - Rancher Kubernetes Engine 2 +... +``` + +Next, launch RancherD: + +``` +systemctl enable rancherd-server.service +systemctl start rancherd-server.service +``` + +When RancherD launches, it installs an RKE2 Kubernetes cluster. Use the following command to see the logs of the Kubernetes cluster as it comes up: + +``` +journalctl -eu rancherd-server -f +``` + +### 3. Set up the kubeconfig file with kubectl + +Once the Kubernetes cluster is up, set up RancherD’s kubeconfig file and `kubectl`: + +``` +export KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/rke2/rke2.yaml PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/rancher/rke2/bin +``` + +### 4. Verify that Rancher is installed on the Kubernetes cluster + +Now, you can start issuing `kubectl` commands. Use the following commands to verify that Rancher is deployed as a daemonset on the cluster: + +``` +kubectl get daemonset rancher -n cattle-system +kubectl get pod -n cattle-system +``` + +If you watch the pods, you will see the following pods installed: + +- `helm-operation` pods in the `cattle-system` namespace +- a `rancher` pod and `rancher-webhook` pod in the `cattle-system` namespace +- a `fleet-agent`, `fleet-controller`, and `gitjob` pod in the `fleet-system` namespace +- a `rancher-operator` pod in the `rancher-operator-system` namespace + +### 5. Set the initial Rancher password + +Once the `rancher` pod is up and running, run the following: + +``` +rancherd reset-admin +``` + +This will give you the URL, username and password needed to log into Rancher. Follow that URL, plug in the credentials, and you’re up and running with Rancher! + +If Rancher will only manage the local Kubernetes cluster, the installation is complete. + +# Part II: High Availability + +If you plan to use the Rancher server to manage downstream Kubernetes clusters, Rancher needs to be highly available. In these steps, you will add more nodes to achieve a high-availability cluster. Since Rancher is running as a daemonset, it will automatically launch on the nodes you add. + +An odd number of nodes is required because the etcd cluster, which contains the cluster data, needs a majority of live nodes to avoid losing quorum. A loss of quorum could require the cluster to be restored from backup. Therefore, we recommend using three nodes. + +When following these steps, you should still be logged in as root. + +### 1. Configure the fixed registration address on a new node + +Additional server nodes are launched much like the first, except that you must specify the `server` and `token` parameters so that they can successfully connect to the initial server node. + +Here is an example of what the RancherD config file would look like for additional server nodes. By default, this config file is expected to be located at `/etc/rancher/rke2/config.yaml`. + +```yaml +server: https://my-fixed-registration-address.com:9345 +token: my-shared-secret +tls-san: + - my-fixed-registration-address.com + - another-kubernetes-domain.com +``` + +### 2. Launch an additional server node + +Run the installer on the new node: + +``` +curl -sfL https://get.rancher.io | sh - +``` + +This will download RancherD and install it as a systemd unit on your host. + + +Next, launch RancherD: + +``` +systemctl enable rancherd-server.service +systemctl start rancherd-server.service +``` + +### 3. Repeat + +Repeat steps one and two for another Linux node, bringing the number of nodes in the cluster to three. + +**Result:** Rancher is highly available and the installation is complete. + +# Upgrades + +For information on upgrades and rollbacks, refer to [this page.](./upgrades) + +# Configuration + +For information on how to configure certificates, node taints, Rancher Helm chart options, or RancherD CLI options, refer to the [configuration reference.](./rancherd-configuration) + +# Uninstall + +To uninstall RancherD from your system, run the command below.

The maximum setting is 8GB and the host should have enough RAM to keep the entire dataset in memory. When increasing this value you should also increase the size of the host. The keyspace size can also be adjusted in smaller installations if you anticipate a high rate of change of pods during the garbage collection interval. + +The etcd data set is automatically cleaned up on a five minute interval by Kubernetes. There are situations, e.g. deployment thrashing, where enough events could be written to etcd and deleted before garbage collection occurs and cleans things up causing the keyspace to fill up. If you see `mvcc: database space exceeded` errors, in the etcd logs or Kubernetes API server logs, you should consider increasing the keyspace size. This can be accomplished by setting the [quota-backend-bytes](https://etcd.io/docs/v3.4.0/op-guide/maintenance/#space-quota) setting on the etcd servers. + +### Example: This snippet of the RKE cluster.yml file increases the keyspace size to 5GB + +```yaml +# RKE cluster.yml +--- +services: + etcd: + extra_args: + quota-backend-bytes: 5368709120 +``` + +## Scaling etcd disk performance + +You can follow the recommendations from [the etcd docs](https://etcd.io/docs/v3.4.0/tuning/#disk) on how to tune the disk priority on the host. + +Additionally, to reduce IO contention on the disks for etcd, you can use a dedicated device for the data and wal directory.

Install Kubernetes and Set up the RKE2 Server + +RKE2 server runs with embedded etcd so you will not need to set up an external datastore to run in HA mode. + +1. On the first node, you should set up the configuration file with your own pre-shared secret as the token. The token argument can be set on startup. + +If you do not specify a pre-shared secret, RKE2 will generate one and place it at /var/lib/rancher/rke2/server/node-token. + +To avoid certificate errors with the fixed registration address, you should launch the server with the tls-san parameter set. This option adds an additional hostname or IP as a Subject Alternative Name in the server's TLS cert, and it can be specified as a list if you would like to access via both the IP and the hostname. + +Here is an example of what the RKE2 config file (at /etc/rancher/rke2/config.yaml) would look like if you are following this guide: + +``` +token: my-shared-secret +tls-san: + - my-kubernetes-domain.com + - another-kubernetes-domain.com +``` +After that you need to run the install command and enable and start rke2: +``` +curl -sfL https://get.rke2.io | sh - +systemctl enable rke2-server.service +systemctl start rke2-server.service +``` +1.

This file contains credentials for full access to the cluster, and you should save this file in a secure location. + +To use this `kubeconfig` file, + +1. Install [kubectl,](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/#install-kubectl) a Kubernetes command-line tool. +2. Copy the file at `/etc/rancher/rke2/rke2.yaml` and save it to the directory `~/.kube/config` on your local machine. +3. In the kubeconfig file, the `server` directive is defined as localhost. Configure the server as the DNS of your load balancer, referring to port 6443. (The Kubernetes API server will be reached at port 6443, while the Rancher server will be reached at ports 80 and 443.) Here is an example `rke2.yaml`: + +```yml +apiVersion: v1 +clusters: +- cluster: + certificate-authority-data: [CERTIFICATE-DATA] + server: [LOAD-BALANCER-DNS]:6443 # Edit this line + name: default +contexts: +- context: + cluster: default + user: default + name: default +current-context: default +kind: Config +preferences: {} +users: +- name: default + user: + password: [PASSWORD] + username: admin +``` + +**Result:** You can now use `kubectl` to manage your RKE2 cluster.

This will become the Rancher server URL, and downstream Kubernetes clusters will need to reach it. + +### 1. Set up Linux Nodes + +Make sure that your nodes fulfill the general installation requirements for [OS, container runtime, hardware, and networking.]({{}}/rancher/v2.x/en/installation/requirements/) + +For an example of one way to set up Linux nodes, refer to this [tutorial]({{}}/rancher/v2.x/en/installation/options/ec2-node) for setting up nodes as instances in Amazon EC2. + +### 2. Set up the Load Balancer + +You will also need to set up a load balancer to direct traffic to the Rancher replica on all nodes. That will prevent an outage of any single node from taking down communications to the Rancher management server. + +When Kubernetes gets set up in a later step, the RKE2 tool will deploy an Nginx Ingress controller. This controller will listen on ports 80 and 443 of the worker nodes, answering traffic destined for specific hostnames. + +When Rancher is installed (also in a later step), the Rancher system creates an Ingress resource. That Ingress tells the Nginx Ingress controller to listen for traffic destined for the Rancher hostname. The Nginx Ingress controller, when receiving traffic destined for the Rancher hostname, will forward that traffic to the running Rancher pods in the cluster. + +For your implementation, consider if you want or need to use a Layer-4 or Layer-7 load balancer: + +- **A layer-4 load balancer** is the simpler of the two choices, in which you are forwarding TCP traffic to your nodes. We recommend configuring your load balancer as a Layer 4 balancer, forwarding traffic to ports TCP/80 and TCP/443 to the Rancher management cluster nodes. The Ingress controller on the cluster will redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS and terminate SSL/TLS on port TCP/443. The Ingress controller will forward traffic to port TCP/80 to the Ingress pod in the Rancher deployment. +- **A layer-7 load balancer** is a bit more complicated but can offer features that you may want. For instance, a layer-7 load balancer is capable of handling TLS termination at the load balancer, as opposed to Rancher doing TLS termination itself. This can be beneficial if you want to centralize your TLS termination in your infrastructure. Layer-7 load balancing also offers the capability for your load balancer to make decisions based on HTTP attributes such as cookies, etc. that a layer-4 load balancer is not able to concern itself with. If you decide to terminate the SSL/TLS traffic on a layer-7 load balancer, you will need to use the `--set tls=external` option when installing Rancher in a later step. For more information, refer to the [Rancher Helm chart options.]({{}}/rancher/v2.x/en/installation/options/chart-options/#external-tls-termination) + +For an example showing how to set up an NGINX load balancer, refer to [this page.]({{}}/rancher/v2.x/en/installation/options/nginx/) + +For a how-to guide for setting up an Amazon ELB Network Load Balancer, refer to [this page.]({{}}/rancher/v2.x/en/installation/options/nlb/) + +> **Important:** +> Do not use this load balancer (i.e, the `local` cluster Ingress) to load balance applications other than Rancher following installation. Sharing this Ingress with other applications may result in websocket errors to Rancher following Ingress configuration reloads for other apps. We recommend dedicating the `local` cluster to Rancher and no other applications. + +### 4. Set up the DNS Record + +Once you have set up your load balancer, you will need to create a DNS record to send traffic to this load balancer. + +Depending on your environment, this may be an A record pointing to the load balancer IP, or it may be a CNAME pointing to the load balancer hostname. In either case, make sure this record is the hostname that you intend Rancher to respond on. + +You will need to specify this hostname in a later step when you install Rancher, and it is not possible to change it later.

Take a one-time snapshot of your Kubernetes cluster running Rancher server +> 2. Uninstall Rancher, cert-manager, and the CustomResourceDefinition for cert-manager +> 3. Install the newer version of Rancher and cert-manager + +> The reason is that when Helm upgrades Rancher, it will reject the upgrade and show error messages if the running Rancher app does not match the chart template used to install it. Because cert-manager changed its API group and we cannot modify released charts for Rancher, there will always be a mismatch on the cert-manager's API version, therefore the upgrade will be rejected. + +> For reinstalling Rancher with Helm, please check [Option B: Reinstalling Rancher Chart]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/installation/upgrades-rollbacks/upgrades/ha/) under the upgrade Rancher section. + +## Upgrade Cert-Manager Only + +> **Note:** +> These instructions are applied if you have no plan to upgrade Rancher. + +The namespace used in these instructions depends on the namespace cert-manager is currently installed in.

In such a situation, it is useful to have a service mesh as a separate infrastructure layer. Istio's service mesh lets you manipulate traffic between microservices without changing the microservices directly. + +Our integration of Istio is designed so that a Rancher operator, such as an administrator or cluster owner, can deliver Istio to a team of developers. Then developers can use Istio to enforce security policies, troubleshoot problems, or manage traffic for green/blue deployments, canary deployments, or A/B testing. + +This core service mesh provides features that include but are not limited to the following: + +- **Traffic Management** such as ingress and egress routing, circuit breaking, mirroring. +- **Security** with resources to authenticate and authorize traffic and users, mTLS included. +- **Observability** of logs, metrics, and distributed traffic flows. + +After [setting up istio]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-admin/tools/istio/setup) you can leverage Istio's control plane functionality through the Cluster Explorer, `kubectl`, or `istioctl`. + +Istio needs to be set up by a `cluster-admin` before it can be used in a project. + +- [What's New in Rancher v2.5](#what-s-new-in-rancher-v2-5) +- [Tools Bundled with Istio](#tools-bundled-with-istio) +- [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) +- [Setup Guide](#setup-guide) +- [Remove Istio](#remove-istio) +- [Migrate from Previous Istio Version](#migrate-from-previous-istio-version) +- [Accessing Visualizations](#accessing-visualizations) +- [Architecture](#architecture) +- [Additional steps for installing Istio on an RKE2 cluster](#additional-steps-for-installing-istio-on-an-rke2-cluster) + +# What's New in Rancher v2.5 + +The overall architecture of Istio has been simplified.

Node Agent functionality has also been merged into istio-agent. + +Addons that were previously installed by Istio (cert-manager, Grafana, Jaeger, Kiali, Prometheus, Zipkin) will now need to be installed separately.

Rancher's Istio chart will also install Kiali by default to ensure you can get a full picture of your microservices out of the box. + +Istio has migrated away from Helm as a way to install Istio and now provides installation through the istioctl binary or Istio Operator. To ensure the easiest interaction with Istio, Rancher's Istio will maintain a Helm chart that utilizes the istioctl binary to manage your Istio installation. + +This Helm chart will be available via the Apps and Marketplace in the UI.

The most common use case for autoscaling using third-party software is based on application-level metrics (i.e., HTTP requests per second). HPA uses the `custom.metrics.k8s.io` API to consume these metrics. This API is enabled by deploying a custom metrics adapter for the metrics collection solution. + +For this example, we are going to use [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/). We are beginning with the following assumptions: + +- Prometheus is deployed in the cluster. +- Prometheus is configured correctly and collecting proper metrics from pods, nodes, namespaces, etc. +- Prometheus is exposed at the following URL and port: `http://prometheus.mycompany.io:80` + +Prometheus is available for deployment in the Rancher v2.0 catalog. Deploy it from Rancher catalog if it isn't already running in your cluster. + +For HPA to use custom metrics from Prometheus, package [k8s-prometheus-adapter](https://github.com/DirectXMan12/k8s-prometheus-adapter) is required in the `kube-system` namespace of your cluster. To install `k8s-prometheus-adapter`, we are using the Helm chart available at [banzai-charts](https://github.com/banzaicloud/banzai-charts). + +1. Initialize Helm in your cluster. + ``` + # kubectl -n kube-system create serviceaccount tiller + kubectl create clusterrolebinding tiller --clusterrole cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kube-system:tiller + helm init --service-account tiller + ``` + +1. Clone the `banzai-charts` repo from GitHub: + ``` + # git clone https://github.com/banzaicloud/banzai-charts + ``` + +1. Install the `prometheus-adapter` chart, specifying the Prometheus URL and port number. + ``` + # helm install --name prometheus-adapter banzai-charts/prometheus-adapter --set prometheus.url="http://prometheus.mycompany.io",prometheus.port="80" --namespace kube-system + ``` + +1. Check that `prometheus-adapter` is running properly. Check the service pod and logs in the `kube-system` namespace. + + 1. Check that the service pod is `Running`. Enter the following command. + ``` + # kubectl get pods -n kube-system + ``` + From the resulting output, look for a status of `Running`. + ``` + NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE + ... + prometheus-adapter-prometheus-adapter-568674d97f-hbzfx 1/1 Running 0 7h + ... + ``` + 1. Check the service logs to make sure the service is running correctly by entering the command that follows. + ``` + # kubectl logs prometheus-adapter-prometheus-adapter-568674d97f-hbzfx -n kube-system + ``` + Then review the log output to confirm the service is running. + {{% accordion id="prometheus-logs" label="Prometheus Adaptor Logs" %}} + ... + I0724 10:18:45.696679 1 round_trippers.go:436] GET https://10.43.0.1:443/api/v1/namespaces/default/pods?labelSelector=app%3Dhello-world 200 OK in 2 milliseconds + I0724 10:18:45.696695 1 round_trippers.go:442] Response Headers: + I0724 10:18:45.696699 1 round_trippers.go:445] Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2018 10:18:45 GMT + I0724 10:18:45.696703 1 round_trippers.go:445] Content-Type: application/json + I0724 10:18:45.696706 1 round_trippers.go:445] Content-Length: 2581 + I0724 10:18:45.696766 1 request.go:836] Response Body: {"kind":"PodList","apiVersion":"v1","metadata":{"selfLink":"/api/v1/namespaces/default/pods","resourceVersion":"6237"},"items":[{"metadata":{"name":"hello-world-54764dfbf8-q6l82","generateName":"hello-world-54764dfbf8-","namespace":"default","selfLink":"/api/v1/namespaces/default/pods/hello-world-54764dfbf8-q6l82","uid":"484cb929-8f29-11e8-99d2-067cac34e79c","resourceVersion":"4066","creationTimestamp":"2018-07-24T10:06:50Z","labels":{"app":"hello-world","pod-template-hash":"1032089694"},"annotations":{"cni.projectcalico.org/podIP":"10.42.0.7/32"},"ownerReferences":[{"apiVersion":"extensions/v1beta1","kind":"ReplicaSet","name":"hello-world-54764dfbf8","uid":"4849b9b1-8f29-11e8-99d2-067cac34e79c","controller":true,"blockOwnerDeletion":true}]},"spec":{"volumes":[{"name":"default-token-ncvts","secret":{"secretName":"default-token-ncvts","defaultMode":420}}],"containers":[{"name":"hello-world","image":"rancher/hello-world","ports":[{"containerPort":80,"protocol":"TCP"}],"resources":{"requests":{"cpu":"500m","memory":"64Mi"}},"volumeMounts":[{"name":"default-token-ncvts","readOnly":true,"mountPath":"/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount"}],"terminationMessagePath":"/dev/termination-log","terminationMessagePolicy":"File","imagePullPolicy":"Always"}],"restartPolicy":"Always","terminationGracePeriodSeconds":30,"dnsPolicy":"ClusterFirst","serviceAccountName":"default","serviceAccount":"default","nodeName":"34.220.18.140","securityContext":{},"schedulerName":"default-scheduler","tolerations":[{"key":"node.kubernetes.io/not-ready","operator":"Exists","effect":"NoExecute","tolerationSeconds":300},{"key":"node.kubernetes.io/unreachable","operator":"Exists","effect":"NoExecute","tolerationSeconds":300}]},"status":{"phase":"Running","conditions":[{"type":"Initialized","status":"True","lastProbeTime":null,"lastTransitionTime":"2018-07-24T10:06:50Z"},{"type":"Ready","status":"True","lastProbeTime":null,"lastTransitionTime":"2018-07-24T10:06:54Z"},{"type":"PodScheduled","status":"True","lastProbeTime":null,"lastTransitionTime":"2018-07-24T10:06:50Z"}],"hostIP":"34.220.18.140","podIP":"10.42.0.7","startTime":"2018-07-24T10:06:50Z","containerStatuses":[{"name":"hello-world","state":{"running":{"startedAt":"2018-07-24T10:06:54Z"}},"lastState":{},"ready":true,"restartCount":0,"image":"rancher/hello-world:latest","imageID":"docker-pullable://rancher/hello-world@sha256:4b1559cb4b57ca36fa2b313a3c7dde774801aa3a2047930d94e11a45168bc053","containerID":"docker://cce4df5fc0408f03d4adf82c90de222f64c302bf7a04be1c82d584ec31530773"}],"qosClass":"Burstable"}}]} + I0724 10:18:45.699525 1 api.go:74] GET http://prometheus-server.prometheus.34.220.18.140.xip.io/api/v1/query?query=sum%28rate%28container_fs_read_seconds_total%7Bpod_name%3D%22hello-world-54764dfbf8-q6l82%22%2Ccontainer_name%21%3D%22POD%22%2Cnamespace%3D%22default%22%7D%5B5m%5D%29%29+by+%28pod_name%29&time=1532427525.697 200 OK + I0724 10:18:45.699620 1 api.go:93] Response Body: {"status":"success","data":{"resultType":"vector","result":[{"metric":{"pod_name":"hello-world-54764dfbf8-q6l82"},"value":[1532427525.697,"0"]}]}} + I0724 10:18:45.699939 1 wrap.go:42] GET /apis/custom.metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1/namespaces/default/pods/%2A/fs_read?labelSelector=app%3Dhello-world: (12.431262ms) 200 [[kube-controller-manager/v1.10.1 (linux/amd64) kubernetes/d4ab475/system:serviceaccount:kube-system:horizontal-pod-autoscaler] 10.42.0.0:24268] + I0724 10:18:51.727845 1 request.go:836] Request Body: {"kind":"SubjectAccessReview","apiVersion":"authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1","metadata":{"creationTimestamp":null},"spec":{"nonResourceAttributes":{"path":"/","verb":"get"},"user":"system:anonymous","group":["system:unauthenticated"]},"status":{"allowed":false}} + ... + {{% /accordion %}} + + + +1.

Usually pods get scaled and managed by the workload. + +### Workloads + +_Workloads_ are objects that set deployment rules for pods. Based on these rules, Kubernetes performs the deployment and updates the workload with the current state of the application. +Workloads let you define the rules for application scheduling, scaling, and upgrade. + +#### Workload Types + +Kubernetes divides workloads into different types. The most popular types supported by Kubernetes are: + +- [Deployments](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/deployment/) + + _Deployments_ are best used for stateless applications (i.e., when you don't have to maintain the workload's state). Pods managed by deployment workloads are treated as independent and disposable. If a pod encounters disruption, Kubernetes removes it and then recreates it. An example application would be an Nginx web server. + +- [StatefulSets](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/statefulset/) + + _StatefulSets_, in contrast to deployments, are best used when your application needs to maintain its identity and store data. An application would be something like Zookeeper—an application that requires a database for storage. + +- [DaemonSets](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/daemonset/) + + _Daemonsets_ ensures that every node in the cluster runs a copy of pod. For use cases where you're collecting logs or monitoring node performance, this daemon-like workload works best. + +- [Jobs](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/jobs-run-to-completion/) + + _Jobs_ launch one or more pods and ensure that a specified number of them successfully terminate. Jobs are best used to run a finite task to completion as opposed to managing an ongoing desired application state. + +- [CronJobs](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/cron-jobs/) + + _CronJobs_ are similar to jobs. CronJobs, however, runs to completion on a cron-based schedule. + +### Services + +In many use cases, a workload has to be either: + +- Accessed by other workloads in the cluster. +- Exposed to the outside world. + +You can achieve these goals by creating a _Service_.

Flows + + `Flows` are a configuration resource that determine collection, filtering, and destination rules for logs.

ClusterOutputs + + `ClusterOutputs` serve the same functionality as `Outputs`, except they are a cluster-scoped resource. `ClusterOutputs` are necessary when collecting logs cluster-wide, or if you wish to provide an `Output` to all namespaces in your cluster. + +4. ClusterFlows + + `ClusterFlows` serve the same function as `Flows`, but at the cluster level. They are used to configure log collection for an entire cluster, instead of on a per-namespace level. `ClusterFlows` are also where mutations and filters are defined, same as `Flows` (in functionality). + +# Cluster Logging + +To configure cluster-wide logging for v2.5+ logging, one needs to set up a `ClusterFlow`.

Communicating with Downstream Clusters
+ +![Rancher Components]({{}}/img/rancher/rancher-architecture-cluster-controller.svg) + +The following descriptions correspond to the numbers in the diagram above: + +1. [The Authentication Proxy](#1-the-authentication-proxy) +2. [Cluster Controllers and Cluster Agents](#2-cluster-controllers-and-cluster-agents) +3. [Node Agents](#3-node-agents) +4. [Authorized Cluster Endpoint](#4-authorized-cluster-endpoint) + +### 1. The Authentication Proxy + +In this diagram, a user named Bob wants to see all pods running on a downstream user cluster called User Cluster 1. From within Rancher, he can run a `kubectl` command to see +the pods. Bob is authenticated through Rancher's authentication proxy. + +The authentication proxy forwards all Kubernetes API calls to downstream clusters. It integrates with authentication services like local authentication, Active Directory, and GitHub. On every Kubernetes API call, the authentication proxy authenticates the caller and sets the proper Kubernetes impersonation headers before forwarding the call to Kubernetes masters. + +Rancher communicates with Kubernetes clusters using a [service account,](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-service-account/) which provides an identity for processes that run in a pod. + +By default, Rancher generates a [kubeconfig file]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-admin/cluster-access/kubectl/) that contains credentials for proxying through the Rancher server to connect to the Kubernetes API server on a downstream user cluster. The kubeconfig file (`kube_config_rancher-cluster.yml`) contains full access to the cluster. + +### 2. Cluster Controllers and Cluster Agents + +Each downstream user cluster has a cluster agent, which opens a tunnel to the corresponding cluster controller within the Rancher server. + +There is one cluster controller and one cluster agent for each downstream cluster. Each cluster controller: + +- Watches for resource changes in the downstream cluster +- Brings the current state of the downstream cluster to the desired state +- Configures access control policies to clusters and projects +- Provisions clusters by calling the required Docker machine drivers and Kubernetes engines, such as RKE and GKE + +By default, to enable Rancher to communicate with a downstream cluster, the cluster controller connects to the cluster agent. If the cluster agent is not available, the cluster controller can connect to a [node agent](#3-node-agents) instead. + +The cluster agent, also called `cattle-cluster-agent`, is a component that runs in a downstream user cluster. It performs the following tasks: + +- Connects to the Kubernetes API of Rancher-launched Kubernetes clusters +- Manages workloads, pod creation and deployment within each cluster +- Applies the roles and bindings defined in each cluster's global policies +- Communicates between the cluster and Rancher server (through a tunnel to the cluster controller) about events, stats, node info, and health + +### 3. Node Agents + +If the cluster agent (also called `cattle-cluster-agent`) is not available, one of the node agents creates a tunnel to the cluster controller to communicate with Rancher. + +The `cattle-node-agent` is deployed using a [DaemonSet](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/daemonset/) resource to make sure it runs on every node in a Rancher-launched Kubernetes cluster. It is used to interact with the nodes when performing cluster operations. Examples of cluster operations include upgrading the Kubernetes version and creating or restoring etcd snapshots. + +### 4. Authorized Cluster Endpoint + +An authorized cluster endpoint allows users to connect to the Kubernetes API server of a downstream cluster without having to route their requests through the Rancher authentication proxy. + +> The authorized cluster endpoint only works on Rancher-launched Kubernetes clusters. In other words, it only works in clusters where Rancher [used RKE]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters) to provision the cluster. It is not available for registered clusters, or for clusters in a hosted Kubernetes provider, such as Amazon's EKS. + +There are two main reasons why a user might need the authorized cluster endpoint: + +- To access a downstream user cluster while Rancher is down +- To reduce latency in situations where the Rancher server and downstream cluster are separated by a long distance + +The `kube-api-auth` microservice is deployed to provide the user authentication functionality for the authorized cluster endpoint. When you access the user cluster using `kubectl`, the cluster's Kubernetes API server authenticates you by using the `kube-api-auth` service as a webhook. + +Like the authorized cluster endpoint, the `kube-api-auth` authentication service is also only available for Rancher-launched Kubernetes clusters. + +> **Example scenario:** Let's say that the Rancher server is located in the United States, and User Cluster 1 is located in Australia. A user, Alice, also lives in Australia. Alice can manipulate resources in User Cluster 1 by using the Rancher UI, but her requests will have to be sent from Australia to the Rancher server in the United States, then be proxied back to Australia, where the downstream user cluster is. The geographical distance may cause significant latency, which Alice can reduce by using the authorized cluster endpoint. + +With this endpoint enabled for the downstream cluster, Rancher generates an extra Kubernetes context in the kubeconfig file in order to connect directly to the cluster. This file has the credentials for `kubectl` and `helm`. + +You will need to use a context defined in this kubeconfig file to access the cluster if Rancher goes down. Therefore, we recommend exporting the kubeconfig file so that if Rancher goes down, you can still use the credentials in the file to access your cluster. For more information, refer to the section on accessing your cluster with [kubectl and the kubeconfig file.]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-admin/cluster-access/kubectl) + +# Important Files + +The files mentioned below are needed to maintain, troubleshoot and upgrade your cluster: + +- `rancher-cluster.yml`: The RKE cluster configuration file. +- `kube_config_rancher-cluster.yml`: The Kubeconfig file for the cluster, this file contains credentials for full access to the cluster.

Many organizations also set up private Docker registries. Docker is primarily used to manage containers on individual nodes. + +>**Note:** Although Rancher 1.6 supported Docker Swarm clustering technology, it is no longer supported in Rancher 2.x due to the success of Kubernetes. + +# About Kubernetes + +Kubernetes is the container cluster management standard. YAML files specify containers and other resources that form an application. Kubernetes performs functions such as scheduling, scaling, service discovery, health check, secret management, and configuration management. + +# What is a Kubernetes Cluster? + +A cluster is a group of computers that work together as a single system. + +A _Kubernetes Cluster_ is a cluster that uses the [Kubernetes container-orchestration system](https://kubernetes.io/) to deploy, maintain, and scale Docker containers, allowing your organization to automate application operations. + +# Roles for Nodes in Kubernetes Clusters + +Each computing resource in a Kubernetes cluster is called a _node_. Nodes can be either bare-metal servers or virtual machines. Kubernetes classifies nodes into three types: _etcd_ nodes, _control plane_ nodes, and _worker_ nodes. + +A Kubernetes cluster consists of at least one etcd, controlplane, and worker node. + +### etcd Nodes + +Rancher uses etcd as a data store in both single node and high-availability installations. In Kubernetes, etcd is also a role for nodes that store the cluster state. + +The state of a Kubernetes cluster is maintained in [etcd.](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/components/#etcd) The etcd nodes run the etcd database. + +The etcd database component is a distributed key-value store used as Kubernetes storage for all cluster data, such as cluster coordination and state management. It is recommended to run etcd on multiple nodes so that there's always a backup available for failover. + +Although you can run etcd on just one node, etcd requires a majority of nodes, a quorum, to agree on updates to the cluster state. The cluster should always contain enough healthy etcd nodes to form a quorum. For a cluster with n members, a quorum is (n/2)+1. For any odd-sized cluster, adding one node will always increase the number of nodes necessary for a quorum. + +Three etcd nodes is generally sufficient for smaller clusters and five etcd nodes for large clusters. + +### Controlplane Nodes + +Controlplane nodes run the Kubernetes API server, scheduler, and controller manager. These nodes take care of routine tasks to ensure that your cluster maintains your configuration. Because all cluster data is stored on your etcd nodes, control plane nodes are stateless. You can run control plane on a single node, although two or more nodes are recommended for redundancy. Additionally, a single node can share the control plane and etcd roles. + +### Worker Nodes + +Each [worker node](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/architecture/nodes/) runs the following: + +- **Kubelets:** An agent that monitors the state of the node, ensuring your containers are healthy. +- **Workloads:** The containers and pods that hold your apps, as well as other types of deployments. + +Worker nodes also run storage and networking drivers, and ingress controllers when required. You create as many worker nodes as necessary to run your [workloads]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/k8s-in-rancher/workloads/). + +# About Helm + +For high-availability installations of Rancher, Helm is the tool used to install Rancher on a Kubernetes cluster. + +Helm is the package management tool of choice for Kubernetes.

Setting up a pipeline can help developers deliver new software as quickly and efficiently as possible. Within Rancher, you can configure pipelines for each of your Rancher projects. A pipeline is based on a specific repository. It defines the process to build, test, and deploy your code. Rancher uses the [pipeline as code](https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline-as-code/) model. Pipeline configuration is represented as a pipeline file in the source code repository, using the file name `.rancher-pipeline.yml` or `.rancher-pipeline.yaml`. + +- **Stages:** + + A pipeline stage consists of multiple steps. Stages are executed in the order defined in the pipeline file. The steps in a stage are executed concurrently. A stage starts when all steps in the former stage finish without failure. + +- **Steps:** + + A pipeline step is executed inside a specified stage. A step fails if it exits with a code other than `0`. If a step exits with this failure code, the entire pipeline fails and terminates. + +- **Workspace:** + + The workspace is the working directory shared by all pipeline steps. In the beginning of a pipeline, source code is checked out to the workspace. The command for every step bootstraps in the workspace. During a pipeline execution, the artifacts from a previous step will be available in future steps. The working directory is an ephemeral volume and will be cleaned out with the executor pod when a pipeline execution is finished. + +Typically, pipeline stages include: + +- **Build:** + + Each time code is checked into your repository, the pipeline automatically clones the repo and builds a new iteration of your software.

While the hardening guide shows you how to harden the cluster, the benchmark guide is meant to help you evaluate the level of security of the hardened cluster. + +Because Rancher and RKE install Kubernetes services as Docker containers, many of the control verification checks in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark don't apply. This guide will walk through the various controls and provide updated example commands to audit compliance in Rancher created clusters. The original benchmark documents can be downloaded from the [CIS website](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/). + +Each version of Rancher's self-assessment guide corresponds to specific versions of the hardening guide, Rancher, Kubernetes, and the CIS Benchmark. + +### Third-party Penetration Test Reports + +Rancher periodically hires third parties to perform security audits and penetration tests of the Rancher 2.x software stack. The environments under test follow the Rancher provided hardening guides at the time of the testing. Results are posted when the third party has also verified fixes classified MEDIUM or above. + +Results: + +- [Cure53 Pen Test - 7/2019](https://releases.rancher.com/documents/security/pen-tests/2019/RAN-01-cure53-report.final.pdf) +- [Untamed Theory Pen Test- 3/2019](https://releases.rancher.com/documents/security/pen-tests/2019/UntamedTheory-Rancher_SecurityAssessment-20190712_v5.pdf) + +### Rancher CVEs and Resolutions + +Rancher is committed to informing the community of security issues in our products.

The CIS 1.5 5.1.5 check requires the default service accounts have no roles or cluster roles bound to it apart from the defaults. In addition the default service accounts should be configured such that it does not provide a service account token and does not have any explicit rights assignments. + +### Configure Kernel Runtime Parameters + +The following `sysctl` configuration is recommended for all nodes type in the cluster.

Network segmentation is +important to ensure that containers can communicate only with those they are supposed +to. A network policy is a specification of how selections of pods are allowed to +communicate with each other and other network endpoints. + +Network Policies are namespace scoped. When a network policy is introduced to a given +namespace, all traffic not allowed by the policy is denied. However, if there are no network +policies in a namespace all traffic will be allowed into and out of the pods in that +namespace. To enforce network policies, a CNI (container network interface) plugin must be enabled. +This guide uses [canal](https://github.com/projectcalico/canal) to provide the policy enforcement. +Additional information about CNI providers can be found +[here](https://rancher.com/blog/2019/2019-03-21-comparing-kubernetes-cni-providers-flannel-calico-canal-and-weave/) + +Once a CNI provider is enabled on a cluster a default network policy can be applied. For reference purposes a +**permissive** example is provide below. If you want to allow all traffic to all pods in a namespace +(even if policies are added that cause some pods to be treated as “isolated”), +you can create a policy that explicitly allows all traffic in that namespace. Save the following `yaml` as +`default-allow-all.yaml`. Additional [documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/network-policies/) +about network policies can be found on the Kubernetes site. + +> This `NetworkPolicy` is not recommended for production use + +``` yaml +--- +apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 +kind: NetworkPolicy +metadata: + name: default-allow-all +spec: + podSelector: {} + ingress: + - {} + egress: + - {} + policyTypes: + - Ingress + - Egress +``` + +Create a bash script file called `apply_networkPolicy_to_all_ns.sh`.

The hardening guide provides prescriptive guidance for hardening a production installation of Rancher, and this benchmark guide is meant to help you evaluate the level of security of the hardened cluster against each control in the benchmark. + +This guide corresponds to specific versions of the hardening guide, Rancher, CIS Benchmark, and Kubernetes: + +Hardening Guide Version | Rancher Version | CIS Benchmark Version | Kubernetes Version +---------------------------|----------|---------|------- +Hardening Guide with CIS 1.6 Benchmark | Rancher v2.5.4 | CIS 1.6| Kubernetes v1.18 + +Because Rancher and RKE install Kubernetes services as Docker containers, many of the control verification checks in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark don't apply and will have a result of `Not Applicable`. This guide will walk through the various controls and provide updated example commands to audit compliance in Rancher-created clusters. + +This document is to be used by Rancher operators, security teams, auditors and decision makers. + +For more detail about each audit, including rationales and remediations for failing tests, you can refer to the corresponding section of the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark 1.6. You can download the benchmark after logging in to [CISecurity.org]( https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/). + +#### Testing controls methodology + +Rancher and RKE install Kubernetes services via Docker containers. Configuration is defined by arguments passed to the container at the time of initialization, not via configuration files. + +Where control audits differ from the original CIS benchmark, the audit commands specific to Rancher Labs are provided for testing. +When performing the tests, you will need access to the Docker command line on the hosts of all three RKE roles. The commands also make use of the the [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) and [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/) (with valid config) tools to and are required in the testing and evaluation of test results. + +### Controls + +## 1.1 Etcd Node Configuration Files +### 1.1.11 Ensure that the etcd data directory permissions are set to 700 or more restrictive (Automated) + +**Result:** pass + +**Remediation:** +On the etcd server node, get the etcd data directory, passed as an argument --data-dir, +from the below command: +ps -ef | grep etcd Run the below command (based on the etcd data directory found above).

It outlines the configurations required to address Kubernetes benchmark controls from the Center for Information Security (CIS). + +For more detail about evaluating a hardened cluster against the official CIS benchmark, refer to the [CIS 1.6 Benchmark - Self-Assessment Guide - Rancher v2.5.4]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.5/en/security/rancher-2.5/1.6-benchmark-2.5/). + +#### Known Issues + +- Rancher **exec shell** and **view logs** for pods are **not** functional in a CIS 1.6 hardened setup when only public IP is provided when registering custom nodes. This functionality requires a private IP to be provided when registering the custom nodes. +- When setting the `default_pod_security_policy_template_id:` to `restricted` Rancher creates **RoleBindings** and **ClusterRoleBindings** on the default service accounts. The CIS 1.6 5.1.5 check requires the default service accounts have no roles or cluster roles bound to it apart from the defaults. In addition the default service accounts should be configured such that it does not provide a service account token and does not have any explicit rights assignments. + +Migration Rancher from 2.4 to 2.5. Addons were removed in HG 2.5, and therefore namespaces on migration may be not created on the downstream clusters. Pod may fail to run because of missing namesapce like ingress-nginx, cattlae-system. + +### Configure Kernel Runtime Parameters + +The following `sysctl` configuration is recommended for all nodes type in the cluster. Set the following parameters in `/etc/sysctl.d/90-kubelet.conf`: + +```ini +vm.overcommit_memory=1 +vm.panic_on_oom=0 +kernel.panic=10 +kernel.panic_on_oops=1 +kernel.keys.root_maxbytes=25000000 +``` + +Run `sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/90-kubelet.conf` to enable the settings. + +### Configure `etcd` user and group +A user account and group for the **etcd** service is required to be setup before installing RKE. The **uid** and **gid** for the **etcd** user will be used in the RKE **config.yml** to set the proper permissions for files and directories during installation time. + +#### create `etcd` user and group +To create the **etcd** group run the following console commands. + +The commands below use `52034` for **uid** and **gid** are for example purposes. Any valid unused **uid** or **gid** could also be used in lieu of `52034`. + +```bash +groupadd --gid 52034 etcd +useradd --comment "etcd service account" --uid 52034 --gid 52034 etcd +``` + +Update the RKE **config.yml** with the **uid** and **gid** of the **etcd** user: + +```yaml +services: + etcd: + gid: 52034 + uid: 52034 +``` + +#### Set `automountServiceAccountToken` to `false` for `default` service accounts +Kubernetes provides a default service account which is used by cluster workloads where no specific service account is assigned to the pod. Where access to the Kubernetes API from a pod is required, a specific service account should be created for that pod, and rights granted to that service account. The default service account should be configured such that it does not provide a service account token and does not have any explicit rights assignments. + +For each namespace including **default** and **kube-system** on a standard RKE install the **default** service account must include this value: + +```yaml +automountServiceAccountToken: false +``` + +Save the following yaml to a file called `account_update.yaml` + +```yaml +apiVersion: v1 +kind: ServiceAccount +metadata: + name: default +automountServiceAccountToken: false +``` + +Create a bash script file called `account_update.sh`. Be sure to `chmod +x account_update.sh` so the script has execute permissions. + +```bash +#!/bin/bash -e + +for namespace in $(kubectl get namespaces -A -o json | jq -r '.items[].metadata.name'); do + kubectl patch serviceaccount default -n ${namespace} -p "$(cat account_update.yaml)" +done +``` + +### Ensure that all Namespaces have Network Policies defined + +Running different applications on the same Kubernetes cluster creates a risk of one +compromised application attacking a neighboring application. Network segmentation is +important to ensure that containers can communicate only with those they are supposed +to. A network policy is a specification of how selections of pods are allowed to +communicate with each other and other network endpoints. + +Network Policies are namespace scoped. When a network policy is introduced to a given +namespace, all traffic not allowed by the policy is denied. However, if there are no network +policies in a namespace all traffic will be allowed into and out of the pods in that +namespace. To enforce network policies, a CNI (container network interface) plugin must be enabled. +This guide uses [canal](https://github.com/projectcalico/canal) to provide the policy enforcement. +Additional information about CNI providers can be found +[here](https://rancher.com/blog/2019/2019-03-21-comparing-kubernetes-cni-providers-flannel-calico-canal-and-weave/) + +Once a CNI provider is enabled on a cluster a default network policy can be applied. For reference purposes a +**permissive** example is provide below. If you want to allow all traffic to all pods in a namespace +(even if policies are added that cause some pods to be treated as “isolated”), +you can create a policy that explicitly allows all traffic in that namespace. Save the following `yaml` as +`default-allow-all.yaml`. Additional [documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/network-policies/) +about network policies can be found on the Kubernetes site. + +> This `NetworkPolicy` is not recommended for production use + +```yaml +--- +apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 +kind: NetworkPolicy +metadata: + name: default-allow-all +spec: + podSelector: {} + ingress: + - {} + egress: + - {} + policyTypes: + - Ingress + - Egress +``` + +Create a bash script file called `apply_networkPolicy_to_all_ns.sh`. Be sure to +`chmod +x apply_networkPolicy_to_all_ns.sh` so the script has execute permissions. + +```bash +#!/bin/bash -e + +for namespace in $(kubectl get namespaces -A -o json | jq -r '.items[].metadata.name'); do + kubectl apply -f default-allow-all.yaml -n ${namespace} +done +``` + +Execute this script to apply the `default-allow-all.yaml` the **permissive** `NetworkPolicy` to all namespaces. + +### Reference Hardened RKE `cluster.yml` configuration + +The reference `cluster.yml` is used by the RKE CLI that provides the configuration needed to achieve a hardened install +of Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE).

Once the user logs in to Rancher, their _authorization_, or their access rights within the system, is determined by the user's role. Rancher provides built-in roles to allow you to easily configure a user's permissions to resources, but Rancher also provides the ability to customize the roles for each Kubernetes resource. -For more information how authorization works and how to customize roles, see [Roles Based Access Control (RBAC)]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/admin-settings/rbac/). +For more information how authorization works and how to customize roles, see [Roles Based Access Control (RBAC)]({{}}/rancher/v2.6/en/admin-settings/rbac/). ## Pod Security Policies _Pod Security Policies_ (or PSPs) are objects that control security-sensitive aspects of pod specification, e.g. root privileges. If a pod does not meet the conditions specified in the PSP, Kubernetes will not allow it to start, and Rancher will display an error message. -For more information how to create and use PSPs, see [Pod Security Policies]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/admin-settings/pod-security-policies/). +For more information how to create and use PSPs, see [Pod Security Policies]({{}}/rancher/v2.6/en/admin-settings/pod-security-policies/). ## Provisioning Drivers -Drivers in Rancher allow you to manage which providers can be used to provision [hosted Kubernetes clusters]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-provisioning/hosted-kubernetes-clusters/) or [nodes in an infrastructure provider]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/node-pools/) to allow Rancher to deploy and manage Kubernetes. +Drivers in Rancher allow you to manage which providers can be used to provision [hosted Kubernetes clusters]({{}}/rancher/v2.6/en/cluster-provisioning/hosted-kubernetes-clusters/) or [nodes in an infrastructure provider]({{}}/rancher/v2.6/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/node-pools/) to allow Rancher to deploy and manage Kubernetes. -For more information, see [Provisioning Drivers]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/admin-settings/drivers/). +For more information, see [Provisioning Drivers]({{}}/rancher/v2.6/en/admin-settings/drivers/). ## Adding Kubernetes Versions into Rancher With this feature, you can upgrade to the latest version of Kubernetes as soon as it is released, without upgrading Rancher.

Once the user logs in to Rancher, their _authorization_, or their access rights within the system, is determined by the user's role. Rancher provides built-in roles to allow you to easily configure a user's permissions to resources, but Rancher also provides the ability to customize the roles for each Kubernetes resource. -For more information how authorization works and how to customize roles, see [Roles Based Access Control (RBAC)]({{}}/rancher/v2.5/en/admin-settings/rbac/). +For more information how authorization works and how to customize roles, see [Roles Based Access Control (RBAC)]({{}}/rancher/v2.6/en/admin-settings/rbac/). ## Pod Security Policies _Pod Security Policies_ (or PSPs) are objects that control security-sensitive aspects of pod specification, e.g. root privileges.
