kube2vulcand

kube2vulcand

Inspired by kube2sky kube2vulcand provides a a bridge between Kubernetes and vulcand.

This will watch the kubernetes API for changes in Ingresses and then publish those changes to vulcand through etcd.

For now, this is expected to be run in a pod alongside the etcd and vulcand containers.

Usage

• -etcd-mutation-timeout: For how long the application will keep retrying etcd mutation (insertion or removal of a dns entry) before giving up and crashing.
• -etcd-server: The etcd server that is being used by skydns.
• -kube-master-url: URL of kubernetes master. Required if --kubecfg-file is not set.
• -kubecfg-file: Path to kubecfg file that contains the master URL and tokens to authenticate with the master.
• -v: Set logging level
• -log_dir: If non empty, write log files in this directory
• -logtostderr: Logs to stderr instead of files

Dev

• Setup the default kubernetes config file.
• Install glide brew install glide
• Download the dependencies: make setup

Locally

• Start an etcd server
• make run

docker-compose

This will start ectd, vulcand, and build the kube2vulcand image:

export KUBE_CA_PATH=~/path/to/kube-ca # optional, based on your k8s config
make docker-run

Deploy to kubernetes

This will create a daemonset with ectd, vulcand, and kube2vulcand, and a service to expose the vulcand load balancer.

kubectl create -f build/kube2vulcand.yaml
