Configuring Edge-LB to Connect to Kubernetes

To connect to your Kubernetes cluster from outside your DC/OS cluster, you will now need to set up and configure the Edge-LB service for inbound load-balancing to your private Kubernetes cluster.

To set up Edge-LB for DC/OS Kubernetes you will need to:

Configure Edge-LB on your cluster and deploy the configured pool for Kubernetes including:
- setting up a service account for Edge-LB
- installing Edge-LB, including the CLI plugin

Set up and Install Edge-LB with service account

First, add the Edge-LB repositories, replacing the download links with the latest available binaries:
```
dcos package repo add --index=0 edgelb https://<insert download link>/stub-universe-edgelb.json
dcos package repo add --index=0 edgelb-pool https://<insert download link>/stub-universe-edgelb-pool.json
```
Copy
IMPORTANT: If you wish to download the repositories from the support site using your browser, you will need to be logged in with an enterprise customer service account.

Next, create an Edge-LB service account:

dcos security org service-accounts keypair edge-lb-private-key.pem edge-lb-public-key.pem
dcos security org service-accounts create -p edge-lb-public-key.pem -d "Edge-LB service account" edge-lb-principal
dcos security org service-accounts show edge-lb-principal
dcos security secrets create-sa-secret --strict edge-lb-private-key.pem edge-lb-principal dcos-edgelb/edge-lb-secret
dcos security org groups add_user superusers edge-lb-principal

Then, create an options JSON file to install Edge-LB with its service account.

Here we create edge-lb-options.json and add the following configuration snippet:
```
{
    "service": {
        "secretName": "dcos-edgelb/edge-lb-secret",
        "principal": "edge-lb-principal",
        "mesosProtocol": "https"
    }
}
```
Copy
IMPORTANT: If you wish to not auto expose the api via Edge-LB Auto Pools and wish to disable the auto pool creation, add `"defaultPoolTemplate": "false"` to the `service` definition to prevent the creation of the `default` Auto Pool.

Save the file.

Lastly, install the edgelb package on your DC/OS Enterprise cluster.

In your CLI, enter:
```
dcos package install --options=edge-lb-options.json edgelb --yes
```
Copy

Expose API with Edge-LB Auto Pools

If you have not disabled the default Edge-LB Auto Pool, the MKE cluster will be exposed out automatically and you can skip the pool creation and proceed with finding the ip.

Create and launch an Edge-LB configured pool deployment for your Kubernetes services

Next, save the following Kubernetes/Edge-LB Service configuration as edgelb.json.

Copy for your convenience:

{
    "apiVersion": "V2",
    "name": "edgelb-kubernetes-cluster-proxy-basic",
    "count": 1,
    "autoCertificate": true,
    "haproxy": {
        "frontends": [{
                "bindPort": 6443,
                "protocol": "HTTPS",
                "certificates": [
                    "$AUTOCERT"
                ],
                "linkBackend": {
                    "defaultBackend": "kubernetes-cluster1"
                }
            },
            {
                "bindPort": 6444,
                "protocol": "HTTPS",
                "certificates": [
                    "$AUTOCERT"
                ],
                "linkBackend": {
                    "defaultBackend": "kubernetes-cluster2"
                }
            }
        ],
        "backends": [{
                "name": "kubernetes-cluster1",
                "protocol": "HTTPS",
                "services": [{
                    "mesos": {
                        "frameworkName": "kubernetes-cluster1",
                        "taskNamePattern": "kube-control-plane"
                    },
                    "endpoint": {
                        "portName": "apiserver"
                    }
                }]
            },
            {
                "name": "kubernetes-cluster2",
                "protocol": "HTTPS",
                "services": [{
                    "mesos": {
                        "frameworkName": "kubernetes-cluster2",
                        "taskNamePattern": "kube-control-plane"
                    },
                    "endpoint": {
                        "portName": "apiserver"

                    }
                }]
            }
        ],
        "stats": {
            "bindPort": 6090
        }
    }
}

and paste in the file using your text editor.

Next, deploy the Edge-LB configured pool for your Kubernetes service:

In your CLI, enter:
```
dcos edgelb create edgelb.json
```
Copy

List your Edge-LB configured pools.

dcos edgelb list

and confirm your output looks similar to the following:

$ dcos edgelb list
NAME                                   APIVERSION  COUNT  ROLE          PORTS
edgelb-kubernetes-cluster-proxy-basic  V2          1      slave_public  6090, 6443, 6444

Check that the status of your Edge-LB deployment is in TASK_RUNNING state (under STATE):

dcos edgelb status edgelb-kubernetes-cluster-proxy-basic

The responding output should look like the following:

$ dcos edgelb status edgelb-kubernetes-cluster-proxy-basic
NAME                  TASK ID                                                     STATE
edgelb-pool-0-server  edgelb-pool-0-server__a6e4b1a1-e63c-4579-a27e-a54328f31321  TASK_RUNNING

Find the IP

Find the public IP of the deployment (substitute edgelb-kubernetes-cluster-proxy-basic if not using Auto Pool Exposure):

dcos edgelb endpoints auto-default
  NAME                   PORT  INTERNAL IPS  EXTERNAL IPS
  frontend_0.0.0.0_6443  6443  172.16.7.60   54.184.41.74
  stats                  9090  172.16.7.60   54.184.41.74
Public/private IPs metadata is inaccurate in case of pools that use virtual networks.

Save the IP as a variable:

export EDGELB_PUBLIC_AGENT_IP=<external ip of port 6443 from above>

Next Step: Test Kubernetes connections and view the Kubernetes dashboard

Now you have configured Edge-LB to connect to your Kubernetes clusters. In the last section, you will test connections and view the Kubernetes Dashboard via a web proxy on your browser.
