Introducing Kubernetes Environments in Rancher

#ranchermeetup


KubernetesKubernetes is open source software for managing a cluster of servers and deploying applications.• Started by Google, but widely contributed to at

this point• Latest version is 1.2• Powerful app management concepts• First project contributed to the Cloud Native

Computing Foundation (CNCF)• Kubernetes.io


Native Kubernetes support in Rancher

• Automated deployment of an unlimited number of Kubernetes clusters

• Control user access to Kubernetes clusters• Simple to use UI for Kubernetes• Supports cross zone, cloud or datacenter

deployments• Node provisioning through Docker Machine• Access Rancher services including:

- Multi-host Networking- Load Balancer- Application Catalog- Persistent Storage Services- Metadata Service

system services


• Pods are the smallest unit in Kubernetes

• Each pod is a group of tightly coupled containers and volumes

• Unique ID, allocated to a specific host.

• Rancher allocates a private IP on the rancher network to each pod

Kubernetes Pods


• Replication Controllers define the number of copies of a pod that are launched.

• RCs are managed by the Kubernetes controller, which works with the scheduler to achieve the desired state.

• Services in Kubernetes typically define a cluster IP for a group of pods

• Cluster IPs are on a separate subnet from the pod IPs.

• Simple web access to Kubectl for running any Kubernetes commands.

• Leverage Rancher users and authentication to control access to Kubectl.
