microk8s configuration notes

This page describes a simple microk8s configuration for a single node cluster.

microk8s configuration

The following microk8s addons can be enabled:

• dns
• ingress
• storage (for a single node cluster local storage)

In /var/snap/microk8s/common/args/kube-apiserver, change service-cluster-ip-range to 10.152.0.0/16 to allow deploying up to ~65k builds. Otherwise it is limited to ~255 builds and we have the error Internal error occurred: failed to allocate a serviceIP: range is full.

The default maximum number of pods per nodes is 110. Be sure to configure RUNBOAT_MAX_STARTED, RUNBOAT_MAX_INITIALIZING and the kubelet's --max-pods option so the maximum number of started and initializing builds is well below the total number of pods allowed in your cluster.
