Kube-router
===========
Kube-router is a L3 CNI provider, as such it will setup IPv4 routing between
nodes to provide Pods' networks reachability.
See [kube-router documentation](https://www.kube-router.io/).
## Verifying kube-router install
Kube-router runs its pods as a `DaemonSet` in the `kube-system` namespace:
* Check the status of kube-router pods
```
# From the CLI
kubectl get pod --namespace=kube-system -l k8s-app=kube-router -owide
# output
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE NOMINATED NODE
kube-router-4f679 1/1 Running 0 2d 192.168.186.4 mykube-k8s-node-nf-2 <none>
kube-router-5slf8 1/1 Running 0 2d 192.168.186.11 mykube-k8s-node-nf-3 <none>
kube-router-lb6k2 1/1 Running 0 20h 192.168.186.14 mykube-k8s-node-nf-6 <none>
kube-router-rzvrb 1/1 Running 0 20h 192.168.186.17 mykube-k8s-node-nf-4 <none>
kube-router-v6n56 1/1 Running 0 2d 192.168.186.6 mykube-k8s-node-nf-1 <none>
kube-router-wwhg8 1/1 Running 0 20h 192.168.186.16 mykube-k8s-node-nf-5 <none>
kube-router-x2xs7 1/1 Running 0 2d 192.168.186.10 mykube-k8s-master-1 <none>
```
* Peek at kube-router container logs:
```
# From the CLI
kubectl logs --namespace=kube-system -l k8s-app=kube-router | grep Peer.Up
# output
time="2018-09-17T16:47:14Z" level=info msg="Peer Up" Key=192.168.186.6 State=BGP_FSM_OPENCONFIRM Topic=Peer

time="2018-09-18T19:12:38Z" level=info msg="Peer Up" Key=192.168.186.16 State=BGP_FSM_OPENCONFIRM Topic=Peer
[...]
```
## Gathering kube-router state
Kube-router Pods come bundled with a "Pod Toolbox" which provides very
useful internal state views for:
* IPVS: via `ipvsadm`
* BGP peering and routing info: via `gobgp`
You need to `kubectl exec -it ...` into a kube-router container to use these, see
<https://www.kube-router.io/docs/pod-toolbox/> for details.
## Kube-router configuration
You can change the default configuration by overriding `kube_router_...` variables
(as found at `roles/network_plugin/kube-router/defaults/main.yml`),
these are named to follow `kube-router` command-line options as per
<https://www.kube-router.io/docs/user-guide/#try-kube-router-with-cluster-installers>.
## Caveats
### kubeadm_enabled: true
If you want to set `kube-router` to replace `kube-proxy`
(`--run-service-proxy=true`) while using `kubeadm_enabled`,
then 'kube-proxy` DaemonSet will be removed *after* kubeadm finishes
running, as it's not possible to skip kube-proxy install in kubeadm flags
and/or config, see https://github.com/kubernetes/kubeadm/issues/776.
Given above, if `--run-service-proxy=true` is needed it would be
better to void `kubeadm_enabled` i.e. set:
```
kubeadm_enabled: false
kube_router_run_service_proxy: true
```
If for some reason you do want/need to set `kubeadm_enabled`, removing
it afterwards behave better if kube-proxy is set to ipvs mode, i.e. set:
```
kubeadm_enabled: true
kube_router_run_service_proxy: true
kube_proxy_mode: ipvs
```
## Advanced BGP Capabilities
https://github.com/cloudnativelabs/kube-router#advanced-bgp-capabilities
If you have other networking devices or SDN systems that talk BGP, kube-router will fit in perfectly.
From a simple full node-to-node mesh to per-node peering configurations, most routing needs can be attained.
The configuration is Kubernetes native (annotations) just like the rest of kube-router.
For more details please refer to the https://github.com/cloudnativelabs/kube-router/blob/master/docs/bgp.md.
Next options will set up annotations for kube-router, using `kubectl annotate` command.
```
kube_router_annotations_master: []
kube_router_annotations_node: []
kube_router_annotations_all: []
