Cloudstack Cloud Controller Manager

A Cloud Controller Manager to facilitate Kubernetes deployments on Cloudstack.

Based on the old Cloudstack provider in Kubernetes that will be removed soon.

Differences

There are several notable differences from the old cloud provider that need to be taken into account when migrating to the standalone provider.

Load Balancer

Load balancer rule names now include the protocol as well as the LB name and service port. This was added with full support for udp and tcp-proxy protocols to distinguish otherwise conflicting names.

If you have existing rules, they need to be removed manually after deploying new ones.

Metadata

When kubelet still contained cloud provider code, node metadata was fetched from the DHCP server on the instance's Virtual Router.

This is no longer possible with the standalone cloud controller, so all metadata now comes from the Cloudstack API. Some metadata may be missing or wrong, please file bugs when this happens to you.

Build

All dependencies are vendored. You need GNU make, git and Go 1.10 to build cloudstack-ccm.

go get github.com/swisstxt/cloudstack-cloud-controller-manager
cd ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/swisstxt/cloudstack-cloud-controller-manager
make

To build the cloudstack-cloud-controller-manager container, please use the provided Docker file:

docker build . -t swisstxt/cloudstack-cloud-controller-manager:latest

Use

Prebuilt containers are posted on Docker Hub.

Kubernetes

To deploy the ccm in the cluster see deployment.yaml and configure your cloudstack and api server connection. See the comments.

Protocols

This CCM supports TCP, UDP and TCP-Proxy LoadBalancer deployments.

For UDP and Proxy Protocol support, CloudStack 4.6 or later is required.

Since kube-proxy does not support the Proxy Protocol or UDP, you should connect this directly to containers, for example by deploying a DaemonSet and setting hostNetwork: true.

See service.yaml for an example Service deployment and part of a suitable configuration for an ingress controller.

Development

Make sure your apiserver is running locally and keep your cloudstack config ready:

./cloudstack-ccm --cloud-provider external-cloudstack --cloud-config cloud.config --master localhost
