Upgrading from v0.1.0
Prerequisites
All platforms
-
The Calico component has a new CRD that needs to be applied manually.
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kinvolk/lokomotive/v0.2.0/assets/lokomotive-kubernetes/bootkube/resources/charts/calico/crds/kubecontrollersconfigurations.yaml
-
Some component objects changed
apiVersion
so they need to be labeled and annotated manually to be able to upgrade them.-
Dex
kubectl -n dex label ingress dex app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=Helm kubectl -n dex annotate ingress dex meta.helm.sh/release-name=dex kubectl -n dex annotate ingress dex meta.helm.sh/release-namespace=dex
-
Gangway
kubectl -n gangway label ingress gangway app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=Helm kubectl -n gangway annotate ingress gangway meta.helm.sh/release-name=gangway kubectl -n gangway annotate ingress gangway meta.helm.sh/release-namespace=gangway
-
Metrics Server
kubectl -n kube-system label rolebinding metrics-server-auth-reader app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=Helm kubectl -n kube-system annotate rolebinding metrics-server-auth-reader meta.helm.sh/release-namespace=kube-system kubectl -n kube-system annotate rolebinding metrics-server-auth-reader meta.helm.sh/release-name=metrics-server
-
httpbin
kubectl -n httpbin label ingress httpbin app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=Helm kubectl -n httpbin annotate ingress httpbin meta.helm.sh/release-namespace=httpbin kubectl -n httpbin annotate ingress httpbin meta.helm.sh/release-name=httpbin

AWS
You need to remove an asset we've updated from your assets directory:
rm $ASSETS_DIRECTORY/lokomotive-kubernetes/aws/flatcar-linux/kubernetes/workers.tf
Upgrading
lokocfg syntax changes
Before upgrading, make sure your lokocfg configuration follows the new v0.2.0 syntax.
Here we describe the changes.
DNS for the Packet platform
The DNS configuration syntax for the Packet platform has been simplified.
Here's an example for the Route 53 provider.
Old:
dns {
zone = "<DNS_ZONE>"
provider {
route53 {
zone_id = "<ZONE_ID>"
}
}
}
New:
dns {
zone = "<DNS_ZONE>"
provider = "route53"
}
Check out the new syntax in the Packet configuration reference for details.
External DNS component
The owner_id
field is now required.
Prometheus Operator component
There is a specific block for Grafana now.
Here's an example of the changed syntax.
Old:
component "prometheus-operator" {
namespace = "<NAMESPACE>"
grafana_admin_password = "<GRAFANA_PASSWORD>"
etcd_endpoints = ["<ETCD_IP>"]
}
New:
component "prometheus-operator" {
namespace = "<NAMESPACE>"
grafana {
admin_password = "<GRAFANA_PASSWORD>"
}
# etcd_endpoints is not needed anymore
}
Check out the new syntax in the Prometheus Operator configuration reference for details.
Upgrade
Go to your cluster's directory and run the following command.
lokoctl cluster apply
The update process typically takes about 10 minutes.
After the update, running lokoctl health
should result in an output similar to the following.
Node Ready Reason Message
lokomotive-controller-0 True KubeletReady kubelet is posting ready status
lokomotive-1-worker-0 True KubeletReady kubelet is posting ready status
lokomotive-1-worker-1 True KubeletReady kubelet is posting ready status
lokomotive-1-worker-2 True KubeletReady kubelet is posting ready status
Name Status Message Error
etcd-0 True {"health":"true"}
If you have the cert-manager component installed, you will get an error on the first update and need to do a second one.
Run the following to upgrade your components again.
lokoctl component apply
Changes in v0.2.0

- dex: update to v2.24.0 (#525).
- contour: update to v1.5.0 (#524).
- cert-manager: update to v0.15.1 (#522).
- calico: update to v3.14.1 (#415).
- metrics-server: update to 0.3.6 (#343).
- external-dns: update to 2.21.2 (#340).
- rook: update to v1.3.1 (#300).
- etcd: Update to v3.4.9 (#521).
New platforms
- Add AKS platform support (#219).
Bugfixes
- Handle OS interrupts in lokoctl to fix leaking terraform process (#483).
- Fix self-hosted Kubelet on bare metal platform (#436). It wasn't working.
- grafana: remove cluster label in kubelet dashboard (#474). This fixes missing information in the Kubelet Grafana dashboard.
- Rook Ceph: Fix dashboard templating (#476). Some graphs were not showing information.
- pod-checkpointer: update to pod-checkpointer image (#498). Fixes communication between the pod checkpointer and the kubelet.
- Fix AWS worker pool handling (#367). Remove invisible worker pool of size 0 and fix NLB listener wiring to fix ingress.
- Fix rendering of
ingress_hosts
in Contour component (#417). Fixes having a wildcard subdomain as ingress for Contour. - kube-apiserver: fix TLS handshake errors on Packet (#297). Removes harmless error message.
- calico-host-protection: fix node name of HostEndpoint objects (#201). Fixes GlobalNetworkPolcies for nodes.
Features
- aws: add the AWS EBS CSI driver (#423). This allows dynamic provisioning of Persistent Volunmes on AWS.
- grafana: provide root_url in grafana.ini conf (#547). So Grafana exposes its URL and not localhost.
- packet: add Cloudflare DNS support (#422).
- Monitor etcd by default (#493). It wasn't being monitored before.
- Add variable
grafana_ingress_host
to expose Grafana (#468). Allows exposing Grafana through Ingress. - Add ability to provide oidc configuration (#182). Allows to configure the API Server to use OIDC for authentication. Previously this was a manual operation.
- Parameterise ClusterIssuer for Dex, Gangway, HTTPBin (#482). Allows using a different cluster issuer.
- grafana: enable piechart plugin for the Prometheus Operator chart (#469). Pie chart graphs weren't showing.
- Add a knob to disable self hosted kubelet (#425).
- rook-ceph: add StorageClass config (#402). This allows setting up rook-ceph as the default storage class.
- Add monitoring config and variable to rook component (#405). This allows monitoring rook.
- packet: add support for hardware reservations (#299).
- Add support for
lokoctl component delete
(#268). - bootkube: add calico-kube-controllers (#283).
- metallb: add AlertManager rules (#140).
- Label service-monitors so that they are discovered by Prometheus (#200). This makes sure all components are discovered by Prometheus.
- external-dns: expose owner_id (#207). Otherwise several clusters in the same DNS Zone will interact badly with each other.
- contour: add Alertmanager rules (#193).
- contour: add nodeAffinity and tolerations (#386). This allows using ingress in a subset of cluster nodes.
- prometheus-operator: add storage class & size options (#387).
- grafana: add secret_env variable (#541). This allows users to provide arbitrary key values pairs that will be exposed as environment variables inside the Grafana pod.
- rook-ceph: allow volume resizing (#640). This enables the PVs created by the storage class to be resized on the fly.
Security
- Block access to metadata servers for all components by default (#464). Most components don't need it and it is a security risk.
- packet: disable syncing allowed SSH keys on nodes (#471). So nodes aren't accessible to all authorized SSH keys in the Packet user and project keys.
- packet: tighten up node bootstrap iptables rules (#202). So nodes are better protected during bootstrap.
- PSP: Rename
restricted
tozz-minimal
(#293). So PSPs apply in the right order. - kubelet: don't automount service account token (#306). The Kubelet doesn't need it.
Apiserver, mounted using HostPath. - prometheus-operator: add seccomp annotations to kube-state-metrics (#288). This reduces the attack surface by blocking unneeded syscalls.
- prometheus operator: add seccomp annotations to PSP (#294). So Prometheus Operator pods have seccomp enabled.
- Binding improvements (#194). This makes the
kubelet
,kube-proxy
andcalico-node
processes listen on the Host internal IP.
UX
- Add
--confirm
flag to delete component without asking for confirmation (#568). - Add error message for missing ipxe_script_url (#540).
- Show logs when terraform fails in
lokoctl cluster apply/destroy
(#323). - cli/cmd: rename --kubeconfig flag to --kubeconfig-file (#602). This is because cobra/viper consider the KUBECONFIG environment variable and the --kubeconfig flag the same and this can cause surprising behavior.
