Running On Alibaba Cloud

Introduction

With a multitude of public cloud providers available, such as Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, Tencent Cloud, AWS, and more, it can be challenging to use mainstream open-source CNI plugins to operate on these platforms using Underlay networks. Instead, one has to rely on proprietary CNI plugins provided by each cloud vendor, leading to a lack of standardized Underlay solutions for public clouds. This page introduces Spiderpool, an Underlay networking solution designed to work seamlessly in any public cloud environment. A unified CNI solution offers easier management across multiple clouds, particularly in hybrid cloud scenarios.

Features

Spiderpool's node topology function can bind IP pools to the available IPs of each network card on each node, and also achieve the validity of MAC addresses.

Spiderpool can run on the Alibaba Cloud environment based on IPVlan Underlay CNI, and ensures that the east-west and north-south traffic of the cluster are normal. Its implementation principle is as follows:

When using Underlay networks in a public cloud environment, each network interface of a cloud server can only be assigned a limited number of IP addresses. To enable communication when an application runs on a specific cloud server, it needs to obtain the valid IP addresses allocated to different network interfaces within the VPC network. To address this IP allocation requirement, Spiderpool introduces a CRD named SpiderIPPool. By configuring the nodeName and multusName fields in SpiderIPPool, it enables node topology functionality. Spiderpool leverages the affinity between the IP pool and nodes, as well as the affinity between the IP pool and IPvlan Multus, facilitating the utilization and management of available IP addresses on the nodes. This ensures that applications are assigned valid IP addresses, enabling seamless communication within the VPC network, including communication between Pods and also between Pods and cloud servers.
In a public cloud VPC network, network security controls and packet forwarding principles dictate that when network data packets contain MAC and IP addresses unknown to the VPC network, correct forwarding becomes unattainable. This issue arises in scenarios where Macvlan or OVS based Underlay CNI plugins generate new MAC addresses for Pod NICs, resulting in communication failures among Pods. To address this challenge, Spiderpool offers a solution in conjunction with IPVlan CNI. The IPVlan CNI operates at the L3 of the network, eliminating the reliance on L2 broadcasts and avoiding the generation of new MAC addresses. Instead, it maintains consistency with the parent interface. By incorporating IPVlan, the legitimacy of MAC addresses in a public cloud environment can be effectively resolved.

Prerequisites

System requirements
The system kernel version must be greater than 4.2 when using IPVlan as the cluster's CNI.
Helm is installed.

Steps

Alibaba Cloud Environment

Prepare an Alibaba Cloud environment with virtual machines that have 2 network interfaces. Assign a set of auxiliary private IP addresses to each network interface, as shown in the picture:
- An instance (virtual machine) is the smallest unit that can provide computing services for your business. Different instance specifications vary in the number of network cards that can be created and the number of auxiliary IPs that can be assigned to each network card. For more information on specific business and usage scenarios, refer to Alibaba Cloud Instance Specification Family to select the corresponding specification to create an instance.
- If you have IPv6 requirements, you can refer to Alibaba Cloud Configuring IPv6 Addresses.
Utilize the configured VMs to build a Kubernetes cluster. The available IP addresses for the nodes and the network topology of the cluster are depicted below:

Install Spiderpool

Install Spiderpool via helm:

helm repo add spiderpool https://spidernet-io.github.io/spiderpool

helm repo update spiderpool

helm install spiderpool spiderpool/spiderpool --namespace kube-system --set ipam.enableStatefulSet=false --set multus.multusCNI.defaultCniCRName="ipvlan-eth0"

If IPVlan is not installed in your cluster, you can specify the Helm parameter --set plugins.installCNI=true to install IPVlan in your cluster.

If you are using a cloud server from a Chinese mainland cloud provider, you can enhance image pulling speed by specifying the parameter --set global.imageRegistryOverride=ghcr.m.daocloud.io.

Spiderpool allows for fixed IP addresses for application replicas with a controller type of StatefulSet. However, in the underlay network scenario of public clouds, cloud instances are limited to using specific IP addresses. When StatefulSet replicas migrate to different nodes, the original fixed IP becomes invalid and unavailable on the new node, causing network unavailability for the new Pods. To address this issue, set ipam.enableStatefulSet to false to disable this feature.

Specify the name of the NetworkAttachmentDefinition instance for the default CNI used by Multus via multus.multusCNI.defaultCniCRName. If the multus.multusCNI.defaultCniCRName option is provided, an empty NetworkAttachmentDefinition instance will be automatically generated upon installation. Otherwise, Multus will attempt to create a NetworkAttachmentDefinition instance based on the first CNI configuration found in the /etc/cni/net.d directory. If no suitable configuration is found, a NetworkAttachmentDefinition instance named default will be created to complete the installation of Multus.

Install CNI

To simplify the creation of JSON-formatted Multus CNI configurations, Spiderpool offers the SpiderMultusConfig CR to automatically manage Multus NetworkAttachmentDefinition CRs. Here is an example of creating an IPvlan SpiderMultusConfig configuration:

IPVLAN_MASTER_INTERFACE0="eth0"
IPVLAN_MULTUS_NAME0="ipvlan-$IPVLAN_MASTER_INTERFACE0"
IPVLAN_MASTER_INTERFACE1="eth1"
IPVLAN_MULTUS_NAME1="ipvlan-$IPVLAN_MASTER_INTERFACE1"

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: spiderpool.spidernet.io/v2beta1
kind: SpiderMultusConfig
metadata:
  name: ${IPVLAN_MULTUS_NAME0}
  namespace: kube-system
spec:
  cniType: ipvlan
  enableCoordinator: true
  ipvlan:
    master:
    - ${IPVLAN_MASTER_INTERFACE0}
---
apiVersion: spiderpool.spidernet.io/v2beta1
kind: SpiderMultusConfig
metadata:
  name: ${IPVLAN_MULTUS_NAME1}
  namespace: kube-system
spec:
  cniType: ipvlan
  enableCoordinator: true
  ipvlan:
    master:
    - ${IPVLAN_MASTER_INTERFACE1}
EOF

This case uses the given configuration to create two IPvlan SpiderMultusConfig instances. These instances will automatically generate corresponding Multus NetworkAttachmentDefinition CRs for the host's eth0 and eth1 network interfaces.

~# kubectl get spidermultusconfigs.spiderpool.spidernet.io -n kube-system
NAME          AGE
ipvlan-eth0   10m
ipvlan-eth1   10m

~# kubectl get network-attachment-definitions.k8s.cni.cncf.io -n kube-system
NAME          AGE
ipvlan-eth0   10m
ipvlan-eth1   10m

Create IP Pools

The Spiderpool's CRD, SpiderIPPool, introduces the following fields: nodeName, multusName, and ips:

nodeName: when nodeName is not empty, Pods are scheduled on a specific node and attempt to acquire an IP address from the corresponding SpiderIPPool. If the Pod's node matches the specified nodeName, it successfully obtains an IP. Otherwise, it cannot obtain an IP from that SpiderIPPool. When nodeName is empty, Spiderpool does not impose any allocation restrictions on the Pod.
multusName：Spiderpool integrates with Multus CNI to cope with cases involving multiple network interface cards. When multusName is not empty, SpiderIPPool utilizes the corresponding Multus CR instance to configure the network for the Pod. If the Multus CR specified by multusName does not exist, Spiderpool cannot assign a Multus CR to the Pod. When multusName is empty, Spiderpool does not impose any restrictions on the Multus CR used by the Pod.
spec.ips：this field must not be empty. Due to Alibaba Cloud's limitations on available IP addresses for nodes, the specified range of values must fall within the auxiliary private IP range of the host associated with the specified nodeName. You can obtain this information from the Elastic Network Interface page in the Alibaba Cloud console.

Based on the provided information, use the following YAML configuration to create a SpiderIPPool for each network interface (eth0 and eth1) on every node. These SpiderIPPools will assign IP addresses to Pods running on different nodes.

Load Balancer Traffic Ingress Access

Deploy Cloud Controller Manager

Cloud Controller Manager (CCM) is an Alibaba Cloud's component that enables integration between Kubernetes and Alibaba Cloud services. We will use CCM along with Alibaba Cloud infrastructure to facilitate load balancer traffic ingress access. Follow the steps below and refer to the CCM documentation for deploying CCM.

Configure providerID on Cluster Nodes

On each node in the cluster, run the following command to obtain the providerID for each node. http://100.100.100.200/latest/meta-data is the API entry point provided by Alibaba Cloud CLI for retrieving instance metadata. You don't need to modify it in the provided example. For more information, please refer to ECS instance metadata.
```
~# META_EP=http://100.100.100.200/latest/meta-data
~# provider_id=`curl -s $META_EP/region-id`.`curl -s $META_EP/instance-id`
~# echo $provider_id
cn-hangzhou.i-bp17345hor9*******
```
On the master node of the cluster, use the kubectl patch command to add the providerID for each node in the cluster. This step is necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the CCM Pod on each corresponding node. Failure to run this step will result in the CCM Pod being unable to run correctly.
```
~# kubectl get nodes
~# kubectl patch node <NODE_NAME> -p '{"spec":{"providerID": "<provider_id>"}}' # Replace <NODE_NAME> and <provider_id> with corresponding values.
```
Create an Alibaba Cloud RAM user and grant authorization.

A RAM user is an entity within Alibaba Cloud's Resource Access Management (RAM) that represents individuals or applications requiring access to Alibaba Cloud resources. Refer to Overview of RAM users to create a RAM user and assign the necessary permissions for accessing resources.

To ensure that the RAM user used in the subsequent steps has sufficient privileges, grant the AdministratorAccess and AliyunSLBFullAccess permissions to the RAM user, following the instructions provided here.
Obtain the AccessKey & AccessKeySecret for the RAM user.

Log in to the RAM User account and go to User Center to retrieve the corresponding AccessKey & AccessKeySecret for the RAM User.

Create the Cloud ConfigMap for CCM.

Use the following method to write the AccessKey & AccessKeySecret obtained in step 3 as environment variables.

~# export ACCESS_KEY_ID=LTAI********************
~# export ACCESS_KEY_SECRET=HAeS**************************

Run the following command to create cloud-config:

accessKeyIDBase64=`echo -n "$ACCESS_KEY_ID" |base64 -w 0`
accessKeySecretBase64=`echo -n "$ACCESS_KEY_SECRET"|base64 -w 0`

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -

            "accessKeySecret": "$accessKeySecretBase64"
        }
    }
EOF

Retrieve the YAML file and install CCM by running the command kubectl apply -f cloud-controller-manager.yaml. The version of CCM being installed here is v2.5.0.
- Use the following command to obtain the cloud-controller-manager.yaml file and replace <<cluster_cidr>> with the actual cluster CIDR; You can view the cluster CIDR of the cluster through the kubectl cluster-info dump | grep -m1 cluster-cidr command.
```
~# wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spidernet-io/spiderpool/main/docs/example/alicloud-ccm/cloud-controller-manager.yaml
~# kubectl apply -f cloud-controller-manager.yaml
```

Verify if CCM is installed.

Create Load Balancer Ingress for Applications

The following YAML will create two sets of services, one for TCP (layer 4 load balancing) and one for HTTP (layer 7 load balancing), with spec.type set to LoadBalancer.

service.beta.kubernetes.io/alibaba-cloud-loadbalancer-protocol-port: this annotation provided by CCM allows you to customize the exposed ports for layer 7 load balancing. For more information, refer to the CCM Usage Documentation.
.spec.externalTrafficPolicy: indicates whether the service prefers to route external traffic to local or cluster-wide endpoints. It has two options: Cluster (default) and Local. Setting .spec.externalTrafficPolicy to Local preserves the client source IP. However, when a self-built public cloud cluster uses the platform's Loadbalancer component for nodePort forwarding in this mode, access will be blocked. In response to this problem, Spiderpool provides the coordinator plug-in, which uses iptables to mark the data packets to confirm that the reply packets of data entering from veth0 are still forwarded from veth0, thus solving the problem of nodeport being unable to access in this mode.

~# cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: tcp-service
  namespace: default
spec:

  ports:
  - port: 80
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 80
  selector:
    app: test-app-2

EOF

After the creation is complete, you can view the following:

~# kubectl get svc |grep service
NAME           TYPE           CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP      PORT(S)         AGE

tcp-service    LoadBalancer   10.233.4.245    47.98.137.75     999:32635/TCP   15s

CCM will automatically create layer 4 and layer 7 load balancers at its IaaS services. You can easily access and manage them through the Alibaba Cloud console, as shown below:

Verify Load Balancer Traffic Ingress Access
