Integration of Kubernetes clients with Elastifile DNS Round-Robin

 

kubernetes NFS clients need to use Elastifile DNS Round-Robin for load-balancing.

GCP hosted Elastifile Fileserver configured with DNS name of "sandpit-09.local" 

 

DNS Name

sandpit-09.local

 

VIP	10.128.0.5

 

vHead

10.128.0.6

10.128.0.7

10.128.0.8

 

name server IP defined for the K8 configmap is Elastifile NFS VIP (10.128.0.5)

subDomain defined for the K8 configmap is Elastifile NFS service name (sandpit-09.local)

 

Create file "elfsDomains" to supply as kubernetes configmap

 

cloudshell:~/k8 (elastifile-sa)$ cat elfsDomains
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: 2018-09-21T20:50:24Z
  labels:
    addonmanager.kubernetes.io/mode: EnsureExists
  name: kube-dns
  namespace: kube-system
data:
  stubDomains: |
    {"sandpit-09.local": ["10.128.0.5"]}
  upstreamNameservers: |
    ["10.128.0.5", "8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"]
  resourceVersion: "241"
  selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/configmaps/kube-dns
  uid: f64e8abd-bddf-11e8-a739-42010a800014

 

Apply K8 configuration

 

cloudshell:~/k8 (elastifile-sa)$ kubectl apply -f elfsDomains

 

Verify K8 configuration

 

cloudshell:~/k8 (elastifile-sa)$ kubectl -n kube-system get configmap kube-dns -oyaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: 2018-09-21T20:50:24Z
  labels:
    addonmanager.kubernetes.io/mode: EnsureExists
  name: kube-dns
  namespace: kube-system
data:
  stubDomains: |
    {"sandpit-09.local": ["10.128.0.5"]}
  upstreamNameservers: |
    ["10.128.0.5", "8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"]
  resourceVersion: "241"
  selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/configmaps/kube-dns
  uid: f64e8abd-bddf-11e8-a739-42010a800014

 

Create K8 PersistentVolume definition using Elastifile DNS name and NFS export

 

@cloudshell:~/k8 (elastifile-sa)$ cat pv-nfs.yml
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: nfs
spec:
  capacity:
    storage: 10Gi
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  nfs:
    server: sandpit-09.local
    # Exported path of your NFS server
    path: "/DC01/root"

 

Create K8 PersistentVolume Claim for NFS

 

@cloudshell:~/k8 (elastifile-sa)$ cat pvc-nfs.yml
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: nfs
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 10Gi
  storageClassName: ""

 

Apply K8 configuration for PersistentVolume and Claim

 

@cloudshell:~/k8 (elastifile-sa)$ kubectl create -f pv-nfs.yml && kubectl create -f pvc-nfs.yml
persistentvolume "nfs" created
persistentvolumeclaim "nfs" created
