Project Name
- Performance evaluation of a single Kubernetes cluster across multiple cloud regions
Project description:
Kubernetes is an opensource container orchestration platform for automating application deployment, scaling, management. It enables containerization
and deployment within clouds infrastructure. It introduces the concept of pods which is a group of one or more containers such as Docker containers within a shared network. Kubernetes follows master/slave architecture. A Kubernetes cluster consists of a master and worker nodes. Each pod runs on a worker node in a kubernetes cluster.
One issue is to resolve geographical seperation or workloads, still keeping it easily maintained and managed, Which is usually done using federated solutions. We want to use wireguard vpn to tunnel master and worker nodes(at any project in openstack or in any geographical region) and test the performance of this wireguard vpn and compare it.The scenarios we are going to compare are.
Scenarios:
1. Regular K8s deployment :
- master and worker nodes as Virtual machines within single shared network.
2.Single region deployment across different projects :
- Worker nodes as vms in different projects.
- Each project has its own virtual network.
- All worker nodes connected as a single cluster using wireguard.
3.Multi region Deployment :
worker nodes as VMs in different projects
- Each project has its own virtual network located in different regions.
- All projects and regions connect as a single cluster with Wireguard.
Goals:
The goal of the project is
- To test the performance of wireguard vpn and compare it with a regular deployment
- To have a validated deployment script for deploying a single Kubernetes cluster in multiple regions interconnected using Wireguard.
- To produce a report comparing regular web performance between a single local Kubernetes cluster vs, a multi-region cluster.
Tasks:
- Designing and setting up kubernetes environment in openstack.
- Create a git repository for each scenario.
- create a suitable test container with suitable workload tests.
- Write deployment scripts for three scenarios using ansible.
- Deploy a single kubernetes cluster in single cloud region within single shared networks
using ansible. - Deploy a single kubernetes cluster with worker nodes across different projects
in single cloud region connected with wireguard vpn. - Deploy a single kubernetes cluster with worker nodes across multiple cloud regions and
in different projects and connected using wireguard vpn. - verify the container movement in each scenario.
- Evaluate the performance in each scenario.
Requirements:
- Be able to access Horizon Dashboard to Create Virtual machines and other resources
- Able to access different regions to create a multi region network(atleast 3).
- Able to create Virtual machines and assign RAM, Cores, Volume size to it.
- Able to create Routers, Network, Security groups, floating ip, LoadBalancer for instances.
- Able to add keypairs for passswordless authentication.
- Ability to scale the resources whenever needed.
- Able to be accountable for the resources used.
Scope:
- Area: Cloud infrastructure
- Focus: Kubernetes and wireguard
- sources: github repository
- testing: citycloud vms.
Infrastructure needs:
- Virtual servers: Provided by CityNetwork and CityCloud.
Dependencies:
- Identify similar projects is underway or being proposed in Nordix or upstream projects
- Identify any specific development be staged with respect to the upstream project and releases.
