Install Karmada with Kurator

Install Karmada

The documentation uses Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS as an example.

Prerequisites

Deploy a kubernetes cluster using kurator’s scripts. This script will create three clusters for you, one is used to host Karmada control plane and the other two will be joined as member clusters.

git clone https://github.com/kurator-dev/kurator.git
cd kurator
hack/local-dev-setup.sh

fs.inotify.max_user_watches and fs.inotify.max_user_instances may need to be adjusted as described here

Deploy Karmada

Compile kurator from source

git clone https://github.com/kurator-dev/kurator.git
cd kurator
make kurator

Install karmada control plane

kurator install karmada --kubeconfig=/root/.kube/config

When deploying kubernetes using a script, the kubeconfig is kurator-host.config

karmada installation parameters can be set with --set, e.g.

kurator install karmada --set karmada-data=/etc/Karmada-test --set port=32222 --kubeconfig ~/.kube/config

Add kubernetes cluster to karmada control plane

kurator join karmada member1 \
    --cluster-kubeconfig=/root/.kube/kurator-member1.config \
    --cluster-context=kurator-member1

kurator join karmada member2 \
    --cluster-kubeconfig=/root/.kube/kurator-member2.config \
    --cluster-context=kurator-member2

Show members of karmada

kubectl --kubeconfig /etc/karmada/karmada-apiserver.config get clusters

Notice

karmada v1.2.0 and below version, does not support kubernetes v1.24.0 and above version join the karmada control plane
