Admin cluster configuration file

This page describes the fields in the admin cluster configuration file for Google Distributed Cloud.

Generating a template for your configuration file

If you used gkeadm to create your admin workstation, then gkeadm generated a template for your admin cluster configuration file. Also, gkeadm filled in some of the fields for you.

If you did not use gkeadm to create your admin workstation, you can use gkectl to generate a template for your admin cluster configuration file.

To generate a template for your admin cluster configuration file:

gkectl create-config admin --config=OUTPUT_FILENAME --gke-on-prem-version=VERSION

Replace OUTPUT_FILENAME with a path of your choice for the generated template. If you omit this flag, gkectl names the file admin-cluster.yaml and puts it in the current directory.

Replace VERSION with the desired version number, which must be equal to or less than your gkectl version. For example: gkectl create-config admin --gke-on-prem-version=1.6.2-gke.0. If you omit this flag, the generated config template is populated with values based on the latest cluster version.

Template

Optional
Immutable

This section holds information about NTP servers, DNS servers, and DNS search domains used by the VMs that are your cluster nodes. If you are using the Seesaw load balancer, this information also applies to your Seesaw VMs.

network.hostConfig.dnsServers

Required if network.hostConfig section is filled in.
Immutable
Array of strings.
The maximum number of elements in the array is three.

The addresses of DNS servers for the VMs.

Example:

network:
  hostConfig:
    dnsServers:
    - "172.16.255.1"
    - "172.16.255.2"

network.hostConfig.ntpServers

Required if network.hostConfig section is filled in.
Immutable

    ntpServers:
    - "216.239.35.0"

network.hostConfig.searchDomainsForDNS

Optional
Immutable
Array of strings

DNS search domains for the VMs to use. These domains are used as part of a domain search list.

Example:

network:
  hostConfig:
    searchDomainsForDNS:
    - "my.local.com"

network.ipMode.type

Required
Immutable
String
Prepopulated: "dhcp"
Default: "dhcp"

If you want your cluster nodes to get their IP address from a DHCP server, set this to "dhcp". If you want your cluster nodes to have static IP addresses chosen from a list that you provide, set this to "static".

Example:

network:
  ipMode:
    type: "static"

network.ipMode.ipBlockFilePath

Required if network.ipMode.type = static
Immutable
String

The path of the IP block file for your cluster.

Example:

network:
  ipMode:
    ipBlockFilePath: "/my-config-folder/admin-cluster-ipblock.yaml"

network.serviceCIDR

Required
Immutable
String
Smallest possible range: /24
Largest possible range: /12
Prepopulated: "10.96.232.0/24"
Default: "10.96.232.0/24"

A range of IP addresses, in CIDR format, to be used for Services in your cluster.

Example:

network:
  serviceCIDR: "10.96.232.0/24"

network.podCIDR

Required
Immutable
String
Smallest possible range: /18
Largest possible range: /8
Prepopulated: "192.168.0.0/16"
Default: "192.168.0.0/16"

A range of IP addresses, in CIDR format, to be used for Pods in your cluster.

Example:

network:
  podCIDR: "192.168.0.0/16"

The Service range must not overlap with the Pod range.

The Service and Pod ranges must not overlap with any address outside the cluster that you want to reach from inside the cluster.

For example, suppose your Service range is 10.96.232.0/24, and your Pod range is 192.168.0.0/16. Any traffic sent from a Pod to an address in either of those ranges will be treated as in-cluster and will not reach any destination outside the cluster.

In particular, the Service and Pod ranges must not overlap with:

  • IP addresses of nodes in any cluster

  • IP addresses used by load balancer machines

  • VIPs used by control-plane nodes and load balancers

  • IP address of vCenter servers, DNS servers, and NTP servers

We recommend that your Service and Pod ranges be in the RFC 1918 address space.

Here is one reason for the recommendation to use RFC 1918 addresses. Suppose your Pod or Service range contains external IP addresses. Any traffic sent from a Pod to one of those external addresses will be treated as in-cluster traffic and will not reach the external destination.

network.vCenter.networkName

Required
Immutable
String

The name of the vSphere network for your cluster nodes.

Example:

network:
  vCenter:
    networkName: "my-network"

If the name contains a special character, you must use an escape sequence for it.

Special characters Escape sequence
Slash (/) %2f
Backslash (\) %5c
Percent sign (%) %25

If the network name is not unique in your data center, you can specify a full path.

Example:

network:
  vCenter:
    networkName: "/data-centers/data-center-1/network/my-network"

Optional
Relevant if loadBalancer.kind = "Seesaw"
Immutable
Boolean
Prepopulated: false
Default: false

If you want to create a highly-available (HA) Seesaw load balancer, set this to true. Otherwise set this to false. An HA Seesaw load balancer uses a (Master, Backup) pair of VMs.

Example:

loadBalancer:
  seesaw:
    enableHA: true

loadBalancer.seesaw.disableVRRPMAC

Optional
Relevant if loadBalancer.kind = "Seesaw"
Immutable
Boolean
Prepopulatd: false
Default: false

If you set this to true, the Seesaw load balancer does not use MAC learning for failover. Instead, it uses gratuitous ARP. If you set this to false, the Seesaw load balancer uses MAC learning. We recommend that you set this to true. If you are using vSphere 7 or later, and you have a high-availability Seesaw load balancer, then you must set this to true.

Example:

loadBalancer:
  seesaw:
    disableVRRPMAC: true

antiAffinityGroups.enabled

Optional
Mutable
Boolean
Prepopulated: true

Set this to true to enable DRS rule creation. Otherwise, set this to false.

Example:

antiAffinityGroups:
  enabled: true

If this field is true, Google Distributed Cloud creates VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) anti-affinity rules for your admin cluster nodes, causing them to be spread across at least three physical ESXi hosts in your datacenter.

This feature requires that your vSphere environment meets the following conditions:

  • VMware DRS is enabled. VMware DRS requires vSphere Enterprise Plus license edition.

  • Your vSphere user account has the Host.Inventory.Modify cluster privilege.

  • There are at least four ESXi hosts available.

Even though the rule requires that the cluster nodes are spread across three ESXi hosts, we strongly recommend that you have at least four ESXi hosts available. This protects you from losing your admin cluster control plane. For example, suppose you have only three ESXi hosts, and your admin cluster control-plane node is on an ESXi host that fails. The DRS rule will prevent the control-plane node from being placed on one of the remaining two ESXi hosts.

Recall that if you have a vSphere Standard license, you cannot enable VMware DRS.

If you do not have DRS enabled, or if you do not have at least four hosts where vSphere VMs can be scheduled, set antiAffinityGroups.enabled to false.

  url: "http://my-proxy.example.local:80"

The proxy server you specify here is used by your Google Distributed Cloud clusters. Also, your admin workstation is automatically configured to use this same proxy server unless you set the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable on your admin workstation.

If you specify proxy.url, you must also specify proxy.noProxy.

After the proxy configuration for the admin cluster has been set, it cannot be modified or deleted, unless the cluster is rebuilt.

proxy.noProxy

Optional
