docker-k8s-aws-dojo

A Dojo docker image with tools needed to manage a Kubernetes cluster on AWS. Based on docker-k8s-dojo. Uses Alpine Linux.

Usage

1. Install Dojo
2. Provide a Dojofile:

DOJO_DOCKER_IMAGE="kudulab/k8s-aws-dojo:tagname"
# This directory should exist locally (outside of the container), because
# you may be using some tool that generates kubeconfig and it would be gone
# after you remove the container.
# You can mount any local directory, it doesn't need to be $HOME/.kube
DOJO_DOCKER_OPTIONS="-v $HOME/.kube:/home/dojo/.kube"

3. Run dojo to make Dojo run a Docker container.
4. Inside the container you can run e.g.:

kubectl version
kubectl cluster-info
kubectl get pod
helm version
kops version
kops get cluster --full -o yaml --name my-cluster-name --state "s3://my-cluster-name-s3-bucket"
eksctl version
bats -t tests.bats
aws --version
aws s3api list-buckets | jq '.Buckets[]["Name"]'

By default, current directory in docker container is /dojo/work.

Specification

Using this Docker image it should be possible to manage a Kubernetes cluster on AWS using either Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) or kops. The following tools are installed:

• kubectl - to interact with a cluster
• helm - to package applications which can be deployed on top of a cluster
• aws cli version 2
• eksctl - to manage a cluster on AWS EKS
• kops - to manage a cluster on AWS
• bats-core - to test a cluster
• jq - to parse JSON output in Bash

Configuration

Those files are used inside the docker image:

1. ~/.ssh - if exists locally, will be copied
2. ~/.ssh/config - will be generated on docker container start
3. ~/.gitconfig - if exists locally, will be copied
4. ~/.kube - must be mounted; otherwise results in error
5. ~/.kube/config - if not exists, will be generated on docker container start if K8S_ENDPOINT is set
6. ~/.aws - if exists locally, will be copied

You can set optional variables in Dojofile and they will be used to generate a kube config:

DOJO_DOCKER_OPTIONS=-e K8S_ENDPOINT="http://my-k8s.example.com:8080" \
  -e KUBE_USER="mykubeuser"
# environment variable KUBE_USER defaults to ${DOJO_USER}

You can also generate it yourself: /usr/bin/generate-kubeconfig.sh.

Development

Dependencies

• Bash
• Docker daemon
• Bats
• Dojo

Lifecycle

1. In a feature branch:
   • make changes and add some docs to changelog (do not insert date or version)
   • build docker image: ./tasks build_local
   • test it: ./tasks itest
2. Decide that your changes are ready and if so:
   • merge into master branch
   • set version in changelog by running:
     • ./tasks set_version
     • or ./tasks set_version 1.2.3 to bump to a particular version
   • push to master
3. CI server (GoCD) tests and releases.
