🚀 Kubernetes Initialization with Ansible Role

This repo contains an Ansible role designed to initialize and set up a Kubernetes cluster on a target server.

📜 Overview

This Ansible role automates the steps required to set up a Kubernetes cluster. It performs tasks such as:

Installing Kubernetes packages (kubeadm, kubelet, kubectl) Setting up necessary configurations Running kubeadm init to initialize the cluster

🛠️ Prerequisites

Before running this role, ensure that you have:

Ansible installed on your local machine. SSH access to your target server(s) configured. A properly set up inventory file with the target server(s). Ensure that the target server has sufficient system resources for Kubernetes installation.

🏗️ Requirements

You must have the following tools and dependencies:

Ansible >= 2.x A compatible OS (Ubuntu/Debian or CentOS/RHEL) on the target server(s). In my case i use Ubuntu 📂 Directory Structure The repository has the following directory structure:

plaintext Copy code . ├── ansible-role/ │ └── k8s-init/ │ ├── tasks/ │ │ └── main.yml │ ├── defaults/ │ │ └── main.yml │ └── templates/ │ └── kubeadm-config.yaml.j2 ├── inventory/ │ └── hosts ├── playbook.yml └── README.md

🖥️ How to Use

1. Clone the Repository First, clone the repository:

bash Copy code git clone git@github.com:malthaf9/kubernetes-setup-ansible.git cd kubernetes-setup-ansible

2. Set Up Your Inventory Edit the inventory/hosts file to include your target server(s):

ini Copy code [all] k8s-master ansible_host=<TARGET_SERVER_IP> ansible_user=<SSH_USER> Replace <TARGET_SERVER_IP> with the IP address of your target server and <SSH_USER> with the SSH username you use to connect.

3. Run the Playbook Execute the Ansible playbook to initialize Kubernetes:

bash Copy code ansible-playbook -i inventory playbook.yml 🧩 Playbook Details playbook.yml The playbook contains the following logic:

yaml Copy code

• name: Initialize Kubernetes hosts: all become: true roles:
  • k8s-init

✨ Role Features

The role performs these steps:

-> Installs Kubernetes packages using package managers (apt or yum) depending on the target server's OS. -> Runs kubeadm init to initialize Kubernetes. -> Sets up kubectl configuration for the user. -> Ensures that the cluster is in a ready state for further operations.

🔑 Variables You can override default variables by creating a vars.yml file or using the --extra-vars flag:

Example: Create a vars.yml with your custom configurations:

yaml Copy code kubernetes_version: "1.x.x" Run the playbook with custom variables:

bash Copy code ansible-playbook -i inventory playbook.yml --extra-vars "@vars.yml"
