Advanced Install Options

FREE K10 Edition and Licensing

By default, K10 comes with an embedded free Edition license. The free edition license allows you to use the software on a cluster with at most 50 worker nodes in the first 30 days, and then 5 nodes after the 30-day period. In order to continue using the free license, regular updates to stay within the 6 month support window might be required. You can remove the node restriction of the free license by updating to Enterprise Edition and obtaining the appropriate license from the Kasten team.

Using A Custom License During Install

To install a license that removes the node restriction, please add the following to any of the helm install commands:

--set license=<license-text>

or, to install a license from a file:

--set-file license=<path-to-license-file>

Note

K10 dynamically retrieves the license key and a pod restart is not required.

Changing Licenses

To add a new license to K10, a secret needs to be created in the K10 namespace (default is kasten-io) with the requirement that the license text be set in a field named license. To do this from the command line, run:

$ kubectl create secret generic <license-secret-name> \
    --namespace kasten-io \
    --from-literal=license="<license-text>"

or, to add a license from a file:

$ kubectl create secret generic <license-secret-name> \
    --namespace kasten-io \
    --from-file=license="<path-to-license-file>"

Note

Multiple license secrets can exist simultaneously and K10 will check if any are valid. This license check is done periodically and so, no K10 restarts are required if a different existing license becomes required (e.g., due to a cluster expansion or an old license expiry) or when a new license is added.

The resulting license will look like:

 apiVersion: v1
 data:
   license: Y3Vz...
 kind: Secret
 metadata:
   creationTimestamp: "2020-04-14T23:50:05Z"
   labels:
     app: k10
     app.kubernetes.io/instance: k10
     app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
     app.kubernetes.io/name: k10
     helm.sh/chart: k10-6.5.14
     heritage: Helm
     release: k10
   name: k10-custom-license
   namespace: kasten-io
 type: Opaque

Similarly, old licenses can be removed by deleting the secret that contains it.

$ kubectl delete secret <license-secret-name> \
    --namespace kasten-io

Add Licenses via Dashboard

It is possible to add a license via the Licenses page of the Settings menu in the navigation sidebar. The license can be pasted directly into the text field or loaded from a .lic file.

License Grace period

If the license status of the cluster becomes invalid (e.g., the licensed node limit is exceeded), the ability to perform manual actions or creating new policies will be disabled but your previously scheduled policies will continue to run for 50 days. The displayed warning will be look like:

By default, K10 provides a grace period of 50 days to ensure that applications remain protected while a new license is obtained or the cluster is brought back into compliance by reducing the number of nodes. K10 will stop the creation of any new jobs (scheduled or manual) after the grace period expires.

If the cluster's license status frequently swaps between valid and invalid states, the amount of time the cluster license spends in an invalid status will be subtracted from subsequent grace periods.

You can see node usage from the last two months via the Licenses page of the Settings menu in the navigation sidebar. Usage starts being tracked from the installation date of 4.5.8+. From 5.0.11+ you can see the same information through Prometheus.

Manually Creating or Using an Existing Service Account

The following instructions can be used to create a new Service Account that grants K10 the required permissions to Kubernetes resources and the use the given Service Account as a part of the install process. The instructions assume that you will be installing K10 in the kasten-io namespace.

# Create kasten-io namespace if have not done it yet.
$ kubectl create namespace kasten-io

# Create a ServiceAccount for k10 k10-sa
$ kubectl --namespace kasten-io create sa k10-sa

# Create a cluster role binding for k10-sa
$ kubectl create clusterrolebinding k10-sa-rb \
    --clusterrole cluster-admin \
    --serviceaccount=kasten-io:k10-sa

Following the SA creation, you can install K10 using:

$ helm install k10 kasten/k10 --namespace=kasten-io \
    --set rbac.create=false \
    --set serviceAccount.create=false \
    --set serviceAccount.name=k10-sa

Pinning K10 to Specific Nodes

While not generally recommended, there might be situations (e.g., test environments, nodes reserved for infrastructure tools, or clusters without autoscaling enabled) where K10 might need to be pinned to a subset of nodes in your cluster. You can do this easily with an existing deployment by using a combination of NodeSelectors and Taints and Tolerations.

The process to modify a deployment to accomplish this is demonstrated in the following example. The example assumes that the nodes you want to restrict K10 to has the label selector-key: selector-value and a taint set to taint-key=taint-value:NoSchedule.

$ cat << EOF > patch.yaml
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      nodeSelector:
        selector-key: selector-value
      tolerations:
      - key: "taint-key"
        operator: "Equal"
        value: "taint-value"
        effect: "NoSchedule"
EOF

$ kubectl get deployment --namespace kasten-io | awk 'FNR == 1 {next} {print $1}' \
  | xargs -I DEP kubectl patch deployments DEP --namespace kasten-io --patch "$(cat patch.yaml)"

Using Trusted Root Certificate Authority Certificates for TLS

Note

For temporary testing of object storage systems that are deployed using self-signed certificates signed by a trusted Root CA, it is also possible to disable certificate verification if the Root CA certificate is not easily available.

If the S3-compatible object store configured in a Location Profile was deployed with a self-signed certificate that was signed by a trusted Root Certificate Authority (Root CA), then the certificate for such a certificate authority has to be provided to K10 to enable successful verification of TLS connections to the object store.

Similarly, to authenticate with a private OIDC provider whose self-signed certificate was signed by a trusted Root CA, the certificate for the Root CA has to be provided to K10 to enable successful verification of TLS connections to the OIDC provider.

Multiple Root CAs can be bundled together in the same file.

Install Root CA in K10's namespace

Assuming K10 will be deployed in the kasten-io namespace, the following instructions will make a private Root CA certificate available to K10.

Note

The name of the Root CA certificate must be custom-ca-bundle.pem

# Create a ConfigMap that will contain the certificate.
# Choose any name for the ConfigMap
$ kubectl --namespace kasten-io create configmap custom-ca-bundle-store --from-file=custom-ca-bundle.pem

To provide the Root CA certificate to K10, add the following to the Helm install command.

--set cacertconfigmap.name=<name-of-the-configmap>

Install Root CA in application's namespace when using Kanister sidecar

If you either use K10's Kanister sidecar injection feature for injecting the Kanister sidecar in your application's namespace or if you have manually added the Kanister sidecar, you must create a ConfigMap containing the Root CA in the application's namespace and update the application's specification so that the ConfigMap is mounted as a Volume. This will enable the Kanister sidecar to verify TLS connections successfully using the Root CA in the ConfigMap.

Assuming that the application's namespace is named test-app, use the following command to create a ConfigMap containing the Root CA in the application's namespace:

Note

The name of the Root CA certificate must be custom-ca-bundle.pem

# Create a ConfigMap that will contain the certificate.
# Choose any name for the ConfigMap
$ kubectl --namespace test-app create configmap custom-ca-bundle-store --from-file=custom-ca-bundle.pem

This is an example of a VolumeMount that must be added to the application's specification.

- name: custom-ca-bundle-store
  mountPath: "/etc/ssl/certs/custom-ca-bundle.pem"
  subPath: custom-ca-bundle.pem

This is an example of a Volume that must be added to the application's specification.

- name: custom-ca-bundle-store
  configMap:
    name: custom-ca-bundle-store

Troubleshooting

If K10 is deployed without the cacertconfigmap.name setting, validation failures such as the one shown below will be seen while configuring a Location Profile using the web based user interface.

In the absence of the cacertconfigmap.name setting, authentication with a private OIDC provider will fail. K10's logs will show an error x509: certificate signed by unknown authority.

If you do not install the Root CA in the application namespace when using a Kanister sidecar with the application, the logs will show an error x509: certificate signed by unknown authority when the sidecar tries to connect to any endpoint that requires TLS verification.

Running K10 Containers as a Specific User

K10 service containers run with UID and fsGroup 1000 by default. If the storage class K10 is configured to use for its own services requires the containers to run as a specific user, then the user can be modified.

This is often needed when using shared storage, such as NFS, where permissions on the target storage require a specific user.

To run as a specific user (e.g., root (0), add the following to the Helm install command:

--set services.securityContext.runAsUser=0 \
--set services.securityContext.fsGroup=0 \
--set prometheus.server.securityContext.runAsUser=0 \
--set prometheus.server.securityContext.runAsGroup=0 \
--set prometheus.server.securityContext.runAsNonRoot=false \
--set prometheus.server.securityContext.fsGroup=0

Other SecurityContext settings for the K10 service containers can be specified using the --set service.securityContext.<setting name> and --set prometheus.server.securityContext.<setting name> options.

Using Kubernetes Endpoints for Service Discovery

The K10 API gateway uses Kubernetes DNS to discover and route requests to K10 services.

If Kubernetes DNS is disabled or not working, K10 can be configured to use Kubernetes endpoints for service discovery.

To do this, add the following to the Helm install command:

--set apigateway.serviceResolver=endpoint

Configuring Prometheus

Prometheus is an open-source system monitoring and alerting toolkit bundled with K10.

When passing value from the command line, the value key has to be prefixed with the prometheus. string:

--set prometheus.server.persistentVolume.storageClass=default.sc

When passing values in a YAML file, all prometheus settings should be under the prometheus key:

# values.yaml
# global values - apply to both K10 and prometheus
global:
  persistence:
    storageClass: default-sc
# K10 specific settings
auth:
  basicAuth: enabled
# prometheus specific settings
prometheus:
  server:
    persistentVolume:
      storageClass: another-sc

Note

Only the helm values indicated in the Complete List of K10 Helm Options can be used to change the configuration of the bundled Prometheus. Any undocumented configuration is not supported and may affect the functionality of the K10.

Helm Configuration for Parallel Upload to the Storage Repository

K10 provides an option to manage parallelism for file mode uploads to the storage repository through a configurable parameter, datastore.parallelUploads via helm. To upload N files in parallel to the storage repository, configure this flag to N. This flag is adjusted when dealing with larger PVCs to improve performance. By default, the value is set to 8.

Note

This parameter should not be modified unless instructed by the support team.
