how to delete/remove calico cni from my kubernetes cluster - kubernetes

I have installed my kubernetes cluster(1master, 3worker)in the digital ocean.
The problem is I installed both flannel and calico in this cluster.
I want to remove the calico completely from my cluster or is it ok to have multiple CNI?

Use following two commands to remove calico from your node:
kubectl delete -f https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.3/getting-started/kubernetes/installation/hosted/rbac-kdd.yaml
kubectl delete -f https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.3/getting-started/kubernetes/installation/hosted/kubernetes-datastore/calico-networking/1.7/calico.yaml

PLease change the security group, If its AWS
If its s VM, Expose the port

You should add these
https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.3/getting-started/kubernetes/installation/hosted/rbac-kdd.yaml
and
https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.3/getting-started/kubernetes/installation/hosted/kubernetes-datastore/calico-networking/1.7/calico.yaml
to your ansible playbook file state as "absent" then when you run ansible playbook file i.e as below.
- name: Delete Calico (rbac-kdd.yaml) from cluster
kubernetes:
api_endpoint: 123.45.67.89
insecure: true
file_reference: /path/to/rbac-kdd.yaml
state: absent
- name: Delete Calico (calico.yaml) from cluster
kubernetes:
api_endpoint: 123.45.67.89
insecure: true
file_reference: /path/to/calico.yaml
state: absent
Please check your ansible playbook file for cluster installation and change/modify values according your needs.
For more details kubernetes with ansible you can see this:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/modules/kubernetes_module.html
I hope it will be helpful for you

Using helm and a Kubernetes Cluster with Microk8s on one or two local physical Ubuntu server

I installed Microk8s on a local physical Ubuntu 20-04 server (without a GUI):
microk8s status --wait-ready
microk8s is running
high-availability: no
datastore master nodes: 127.0.0.1:19001
datastore standby nodes: none
addons:
enabled:
ha-cluster # Configure high availability on the current node
helm # Helm 2 - the package manager for Kubernetes
disabled:
When I try to install something with helm it says:
Error: INSTALLATION FAILED: Kubernetes cluster unreachable: Get "http://localhost:8080/version": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8080: connect: connection refused
What configuration has to be done to use the MicroK8s Kubernetes cluster for helm installations?
Do I have to enable more MicroK8s services for that?
Can I run a Kubernetes cluster on one or two single local physical Ubuntu server with MicroK8s?
Searching for solution for your issue, I have found this one. Try to run:
[microk8s] kubectl config view --raw > ~/.kube/config
Helm interacts directly with the Kubernetes API server so it needs to be able to connect to a Kubernetes cluster. Helms reads the same configuration files used by kubectl to do it automatically.
Based on Learning Helm by O'Reilly Media:
Helm will try to find this information by reading the environment variable $KUBECONFIG. If that is not set, it will look in the same default locations that kubectl looks in.

How to restore accidentally deleted a kube-proxy DaemonSet in a Kubernetes cluster?

I accidentally deleted kube-proxy daemonset by using command: kubectl delete -n kube-system daemonset kube-proxy which should run kube-proxy pods in my cluster, what the best way to restore it?
That's how it should look
Kubernetes allows you to reinstall kube-proxy by running the following command which install the kube-proxy addon components via the API server.
$ kubeadm init phase addon kube-proxy --kubeconfig ~/.kube/config --apiserver-advertise-address string
This will generate the output as
[addons] Applied essential addon: kube-proxy
The IP address the API Server will advertise it's listening on. If not set the default network interface will be used.
Hence kube-proxy will be reinstalled in the cluster by creating a DaemonSet and launching the pods.
kube-proxy daemon got created at the time of cluster creation, so you need to write your own manifest for daemon-set unless you have a backup to restore it from there.

Where to find the Kubernetes Scheduler Configuration file in local system

I am currently working in Minikube cluster and looking to change some flags of kubernetes scheduler configuration, but I can't find it. The file looks something like-
apiVersion: kubescheduler.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1
kind: KubeSchedulerConfiguration
algorithmSource:
provider: DefaultProvider
...
disablePreemption: true
What is it's name and where can I find it?
Posting this answer as a community wiki to set a baseline and to provide additional resources/references rather than giving a definitive solution.
Feel free to edit and expand.
I haven't found the file that you are referencing (KubeSchedulerConfiguration) in minikube.
The minikube provisioning process does not create it nor references it in the configuration files (/etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml and the --config=PATH parameter).
I'd reckon you could take a look on other Kubernetes solutions where you can configure how your cluster is created (how kube-scheduler is configured). Some of the options are:
Kubernetes.io: Docs: Setup: Production environment: Tools: Kubeadm: Create cluster and also:
Kubernetes.io: Docs: Setup: Production environment: Tools: Kubeadm: Control plane flags
Github.com: Kubernetes sigs: Kubespray
A side note!
Both: kubespray and minikube are using kubeadm as a bootstrapper!
I would also consider creating additional scheduler that would be responsible for spawning your workload (by referencing in the YAML manifests):
Kubernetes.io: Docs: Tasks: Extend Kubernetes: Configure multiple schedulers
I haven't tested it extensively and in the long term but I've managed to include the YAML manifest that you are referencing for the kube-scheduler.
Disclaimers!
Please consider below example as a workaround!
The method described below is not persistent.
Steps:
Start your minikube instance with the --extra-config
Connect to your minikube instance and edit/add files:
/etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml
newly created KubeSchedulerConfiguration
Delete the failing kube-scheduler Pod and wait for it to be recreated.
Start your minikube instance with the --extra-config
As previously said you can add some additional parameters for your $ minikube start to be passed down to the provisioning process.
In this setup you can either pass it with $ minikube start ... or do it manually later on.
$ minikube start --extra-config=scheduler.config="/etc/kubernetes/sched.yaml"
Above parameter will add the - --config=/etc/kubernetes/sched.yaml to the command of your kube-scheduler. It will look for the file in the mentioned location.
Connect to your minikube instance ($ minikube ssh) and edit/add files:
Your kube-scheduler will fail as you've passed an argument (config) that is incorrect (lack of file). To work around this you will need to:
add: /etc/kubernetes/sched.yaml with your desired configuration
modify: /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml:
add to: volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /etc/kubernetes/sched.yaml
name: scheduler
readOnly: true
add to volumes:
- hostPath:
path: /etc/kubernetes/sched.conf
type: FileOrCreate
name: scheduler
Delete the failing kube-scheduler Pod and wait for it to be recreated.
You will need to redeploy modified scheduler to get its new config running:
$ kubectl delete pod -n kube-system kube-scheduler-minikube
After some time you should see your kube-scheduler in Ready state.

How to convert a Kubernetes non-HA control plane into an HA control plane?

What is the best way to convert a kubernetes non-HA control plane into an HA control plane?
I have started with my cluster as a non-HA control plane - one master node and several worker nodes. The cluster is already running with a lots of services.
Now I would like to add additional master nodes to convert my cluster into a HA control plane. I have setup and configured a load balancer.
But I did not figure out how I can change the -control-plane-endpoint to my load balancer IP address for my existing master node.
Calling kubeadm results in the following error:
sudo kubeadm init --control-plane-endpoint "my-load-balancer:6443" --upload-certs
[init] Using Kubernetes version: v1.20.1
[preflight] Running pre-flight checks
[WARNING SystemVerification]: missing optional cgroups: hugetlb
error execution phase preflight: [preflight] Some fatal errors occurred:

[preflight] If you know what you are doing, you can make a check non-fatal with `--ignore-preflight-errors=...`
To see the stack trace of this error execute with --v=5 or higher
The error message seems to be clear as my master is already running.
Is there a way how I can easily tell my existing master node to use the new load balancer to run as a HA control plane?
Best solution in my opinion
The best approach to convert a non-HA control plane to an HA control plane is to create a completely new HA control plane and after that to migrate all your applications there.
Possible solution
Below I will try to help you to achieve your goal but I do not recommend using this procedure on any cluster that will ever be considered as production cluster. It work for my scenario, it also might help you.
Update the kube-apiserver certificate
First of all, kube-apiserver uses a certificate to encrypt control plane traffic and this certificate have something known as SAN (Subject Alternative Name).
SAN is a list of IP addresses that you will use to access the API, so you need to add there IP address of your LoadBalancer and probably the hostname of your LB as well.
To do that, you have to get kubeadm configuration e.g. using command:
$ kubeadm config view > kubeadm-config.yaml
and then add certSANs to kubeadm-config.yaml config file under apiServer section, it should looks like below example: (you may also need to add controlPlaneEndpoint to point to your LB).
apiServer:
certSANs:
- "192.168.0.2" # your LB address
- "loadbalancer" # your LB hostname
extraArgs:
authorization-mode: Node,RBAC
...
controlPlaneEndpoint: "loadbalancer" # your LB DNS name or DNS CNAME
...
Now you can update kube-apiserver cert using:
BUT please remember you must first delete/move your old kube-apiserver cert and key from /etc/kubernetes/pki/ !
$ kubeadm init phase certs apiserver --config kubeadm-config.yaml.
Finally restart your kube-apiserver.
Update the kubelet, the scheduler and the controller manager kubeconfig files
Next step is to update the kubelet, scheduler and controller manager to communicate with the kube-apiserver using LoadBalancer.
All three of these components use standard kubeconfig files:
/etc/kubernetes/kubelet.conf, /etc/kubernetes/scheduler.conf, /etc/kubernetes/controller-manager.conf to communicate with kube-apiserver.
The only thing to do is to edit the server: line to point to LB instead of kube-apiserver directly and then restart these components.
The kubelet is systemd service so to restart it use:
systemctl restart kubelet
the controller manager and schedulers are deployed as pods.
Update the kube-proxy kubeconfig files
Next it is time to update kubeconfig file for kube-proxy and same as before - the only thing to do is to edit the server: line to point to LoadBalancer instead of kube-apiserver directly.
This kubeconfig is in fact a configmap, so you can edit it directly using:
$ kubectl edit cm kube-proxy -n kube-system
or first save it as manifest file:
$ kubectl get cm kube-proxy -n kube-system -o yaml > kube-proxy.yml
and then apply changes.
Don't forget to restart kube-proxy after these changes.
Update the kubeadm-config configmap
At the end upload new kubeadm-config configmap (with certSANs and controlPlaneEndpoint entries) to the cluster, it's especially important when you want to add new node to the cluster.
$ kubeadm config upload from-file --config kubeadm-config.yaml
if command above doesn't work, try this:
$ kubeadm upgrade apply --config kubeadm-config.yaml

Kubernetes: Replace Flannel with Calico

I am new to Kubernetes and I would like to try different CNI.
In my current Cluster, I am using Flannel
Now, I would like to use Calico but I cannot find a proper guide to clean up Flannel and install Calico.
Could you please point out the correct procedure?
Thanks
Calico provides a migration tool that performs a rolling update of the nodes in the cluster. At the end, you will have a fully-functional Calico cluster using VXLAN networking between pods.
From the documentation we have:
Procedure
1 - First, install Calico.
kubectl apply -f https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.10/manifests/flannel-migration/calico.yaml
Then, install the migration controller to initiate the migration.
kubectl apply -f https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.10/manifests/flannel-migration/migration-job.yaml
Once applied, you will see nodes begin to update one at a time.
2 - To monitor the migration, run the following command.
kubectl get jobs -n kube-system flannel-migration
The migration controller may be rescheduled several times during the migration when the node hosting it is upgraded. The installation is complete when the output of the above command shows 1/1 completions. For example:
NAME COMPLETIONS DURATION AGE
flannel-migration 1/1 2m59s 5m9s
3 - After completion, delete the migration controller with the following command.
kubectl delete -f https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.10/manifests/flannel-migration/migration-job.yaml
To know more about it: Migrating a cluster from flannel to Calico
This article describes how migrate an existing Kubernetes cluster with flannel networking to use Calico networking.
