Introduction

Provisioning Tanzu Kubernetes cluster for running RDMA and DPDK-based workloads may become an extremely complicated task. Proper design, and software and hardware component selection may become a gating task toward successful deployment.

This guide provides a step-by-step instructions to deploy vSphere with Tanzu with combined Management, Edge and Workload functions on a single vSphere cluster including technology overview, design, component selection, and deployment steps.

vSphere with Tanzu requires specific networking configuration to enable connectivity to the Supervisor Clusters, vSphere Namespaces, and all objects that run inside the namespaces, such as vSphere Pods, VMs, and Tanzu Kubernetes clusters. We are going to configure the networking manually by deploying a new instance of NSX-T Data Center and vSphere VDS.

VMware’s vSANoRDMA is now fully qualified and available as of the ESXi 7.0 U2 release, making it ready for deployments.

In this document, we will be using the NVIDIA Network Operator which is in responsible for deploying and configuring with a Host Device Network mode. This allow to run RDMA and DPDK workloads on a Tanzu Kubernetes Cluster Worker Node.

网络设计

vSphere Tanzu网络

vSphere with Tanzu需要特定的网络配置,以启用与Supervisor Cluster、vSphere Namespaces以及命名空间内所有对象(如vSphere Pods、VM和Tanzu Kubernetes集群)的连接。我们将通过部署新的NSX-T Data Center实例手动配置Supervisor Cluster网络。

SL-WL01-DS-01 VDS:

  • 管理网络 (VLAN 1 - 192.168.1.x/24) – ESXi VMkernel接口和管理VM(如NSX-T Manager和vCenter)将位于此网络。

    警告: 需要DHCP和DNS服务。本指南不涵盖组件的安装和配置。

  • vMotion网络 (VLAN 1611 – 192.168.11.0/24) – ESXi vMotion VMkernel接口将位于此网络。
  • NSX-T Geneve Overlay网络(ESXi主机) (VLAN 1624 - 192.168.24.0/24) – 此网络将用于ESXi主机上的Geneve Overlay隧道端点VMkernel接口。
  • NSX-T Geneve Overlay网络(Edge VM) (VLAN 1625 - 192.168.25.0/24) – 此网络将用于Edge VM上的Geneve Overlay隧道端点VMkernel接口。
  • NSX-T Edge VM上行链路网络 (VLAN 1630 -192.168.25.0/24) – 此网络将用于...

SL-WL01-DS-02 VDS:

  • vSAN网络 (VLAN 1612 – 192.168.12.0/24) – ESXi vSAN VMkernel接口将位于此网络。
  • RDMA网络 (VLAN 1614 – 192.168.14.0/24) – ESXi vSAN VMkernel接口将位于此网络。

Supervisor Cluster网络

工作负载管理将在NSX-T中实现。

  • Pod CIDR (默认 – 10.244.0.0/20) – 此网络用于Kubernetes Pods。它将进一步划分为每个命名空间或每个TKG集群的/28子网。这是一个内部地址池,无需从物理路由器路由。
  • Services CIDR (默认 10.96.0.0/23) – 此网络池将在创建Kubernetes服务时使用。这是一个内部地址池,无需从物理路由器路由。
  • Ingress CIDR (192.168.100.0/24) – 此网络池将为应用部署所需的负载均衡服务提供地址。例如,一个NSX-T负载均衡器VIP将分配给Supervisor Cluster的控制平面IP地址。
  • Egress CIDR (192.168.200.0/24) – 此网络池将在Pods需要与NSX-T环境外部通信(如访问互联网)时使用。例如,一个IP将分配给T0路由器作为Pods访问互联网时的源NAT(SNAT)源地址。

    警告: Ingress和Egress CIDR网络都需要在物理路由器上路由到T0的下一跳。

Supervisor Cluster Configuration

Prerequisites

  • Host BIOS

    Verify that an SR-IOV supported server platform is being used and review the BIOS settings in the server platform vendor documentation to enable SR-IOV in the BIOS.

  • Physical server configuration

    All ESXi servers must have the same PCIe placement for the NIC and expose the same interface name.

  • Experience with Kubernetes

    Familiarization with the Kubernetes Cluster architecture is essential.

  • Verify that your environment meets the system requirements for configuring a vSphere cluster as a Supervisor Cluster. For information about requirements, see System Requirements for Setting Up vSphere with Tanzu with NSX-T Data Center.

  • Assign the VMware vSphere 7 Enterprise Plus with an Add-on for Kubernetes license to all ESXi hosts that will be part of the Supervisor Cluster.

  • Verify that you have the Modify cluster-wide configuration privilege on the cluster.

  • Verify that in your environment NTP configured and works properly.

    Configure the Tier-0 Gateway 08.PNG

    The following shows that the HA VIP configuration has been successfully created.

    Configure the Tier-0 Gateway 08b.PNG

  4. To ensure that the Tier-0 Gateway Uplink is configured correctly, we shall login to the next hop device, in my case is the SN2010, to do a ping test.

    Firstly ping yourself ie. 192.168.30.1 which is configured on the switch then follow be the HA VIP configured on the Tier-0 Gateway.

    Configure the Tier-0 Gateway 8c.PNG

  5. Lastly we need to configured a default route out so that the containers can communicate back to IP addresses outside the NSX-T domain.

    Click Set under Static Routes in the Routing option.

    Warning: If you are using BGP, then probably this step would differ.

    Configure the Tier-0 Gateway 09.PNG

  6. Click ADD STATIC ROUTE. Fill NameDefault, Network0.0.0.0/0.

  7. Click Set under the Next Hops option.

    Configure the Tier-0 Gateway 10.PNG

  8. Click SET NEXT HOP. IP Address192.168.30.1.

  11. Click CLOSE.

    Configure the Tier-0 Gateway 13.PNG

  12. Click SAVE.

    Configure the Tier-0 Gateway 14.PNG

  13. Once the static route has been added, one way is to test is from outside the NSX-T domain. In our case, we have the DG VM which is outside the NSX-T domain and the gateway of the VM is pointing to the SN2010 as well. A ping test was done from the VM to the Tier-0 Gateway VIP. If the ping test is successful, it means the static route we added to the Tier-0 gateway is successfully configured.

    Configure the Tier-0 Gateway 15.PNG

  • Validate whether NSX-T has been successfully set up for vSphere with Kubernetes.

    As all the configuration on the NSX-T, vSphere VDS and physical network are set up, now go back to Workload Management to see whether we are ready to deploy Workload Management Clusters.

以上输出显示一切正常。我们已经切换到新的命名空间,并验证了 Storage Class、虚拟机镜像和 VM 类可用。现在可以继续部署 TKG 来宾集群。以下是用于部署集群的清单。

我们创建了以下清单文件 sl-wl01-tkc01.yaml。在此清单中,我们请求了单个控制平面节点3个工作节点

我们将使用 vsan-default-storage-policy 作为 Storage Class,因为这是我们在此命名空间中配置的唯一一个。

节点大小设置为:控制平面节点使用 best-effort-small,工作节点使用 best-effort-2xlarge-pci

v1.20.8---vmware.1-tkg.2 虚拟机镜像将用于两者。

每个工作节点将添加两个卷:200GB 和 50GB。

将使用自定义 Antrea CNI。

要构建 TKG 集群,请运行:

K8s CLI VM console
root@user:~#kubectl apply -f sl-wl01-tkc01.yaml

要查看部署进度,首先查看集群(5-10 分钟后)。

K8s CLI VM console
root@user:~#kubectl get TanzuKubernetesCluster

查询支持控制平面和节点的虚拟机。

K8s CLI VM console

从 UI 角度来看,我们现在可以看到 TKG 集群已部署在 tkg-guest-01 命名空间中。我们还可以看到控制平面节点和三个工作节点。

选择 sl-wl01-tkc01 命名空间。导航至 Compute > VMware Resources > Tanzu Kubernetes clusters

在此处可以查看TKG集群的更多详细信息。请注意,API服务器的负载均衡器IP地址(192.168.100.3)来自我们在启用工作负载管理和创建Supervisor集群过程中提供的Ingress范围。

Network Operator Deployment with a Host Device Network

Network operator deployment with:

  • SR-IOV device plugin, single SR-IOV resource pool
  • Secondary network
  • Multus CNI
  • Container networking-plugins CNI plugins
  • Whereabouts IPAM CNI plugin

在此模式下,Network Operator也可以部署在虚拟化环境中。它支持以太网和InfiniBand模式。从Network Operator的角度来看,部署过程没有区别。要在VM(虚拟机)上工作,必须为SR-IOV设备配置PCI直通。Network Operator在VM内部同时支持VF(虚拟功能)和PF(物理功能)。

启动shell、终端或命令提示符会话。

要部署Network Operator,请切换上下文。我们不使用命名空间上下文,而是切换到TKG集群上下文。这使我们能够在访客集群的上下文中运行操作。为此,请注销并重新登录,在登录命令中指定TKG集群命名空间和集群名称。登录命令相当长,如下所示。

K8s CLI VM console

hostdevicenetwork.mellanox.com/hostdev-net created

应用程序

现在我们可以部署一个示例 Pod。

K8s CLI VM 控制台

root@user:~# vim pod.yaml

K8s CLI VM 控制台

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: hostdev-test-pod
  annotations:

    securityContext:
      capabilities:
        add: [ "IPC_LOCK" ]
    resources:
      requests:
        nvidia.com/hostdev: 1
      limits:
        nvidia.com/hostdev: 1
    command:
    - sh
    - -c
    - sleep inf

并运行以下命令:

K8s CLI VM 控制台

root@user:~# kubectl apply -f pod.yaml

pod/hostdev-test-pod created

检查 RDMA

要检查 RDMA,我们需要部署第二个 Pod。

K8s CLI VM 控制台

root@user:~# vim pod2.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: hostdev-test-pod-2
  annotations:
    k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: hostdev-net
spec:
  restartPolicy: OnFailure
  containers:
  - image: harbor.mellanox.com/nbu-solutions-labs/ubuntu-mlnx-inbox:20.04
    name: mofed-test-ctr
    securityContext:
      capabilities:
        add: [ "IPC_LOCK" ]
    resources:
      requests:
        nvidia.com/hostdev: 1
      limits:
        nvidia.com/hostdev: 1
    command:
    - sh
    - -c
    - sleep inf

并运行以下命令。

K8s CLI VM console

root@user:~# kubectl apply -f pod2.yaml

pod/hostdev-test-pod-2 created

验证两个Pod正在运行。

K8s CLI VM console

root@user:~# kubectl get pods -o wide

可以看到第一个 hostdev-test-pod Pod运行在worker sl-wl01-tkc01-workercx6dx-jgfgf-7875fd7f9-rsz75 上,第二个 hostdev-test-pod-2 Pod运行在worker sl-wl01-tkc01-workercx6dx-jgfgf-7875fd7f9-q2prv 上。

现在我们可以运行 ib_write_bw(InfiniBand写带宽工具,属于 Perftest Package),通过以下步骤。

获取第一个运行容器的shell。

K8s CLI VM console

root@user:~# kubectl exec -it hostdev-test-pod -- bash

检查Pod中的可用网络接口。
