This guide expects that you already have a running DC/OS cluster based on Universal Installer 0.2
. To learn more about running DC/OS with the Universal Installer have a look into the Guide for DC/OS on AWS using the Universal Installer.
You will learn how to place additional infrastructure into a AWS remote region. Remote regions will be connected to each other by using the AWS VPC Peering Feature.
Prerequisites
- A running DC/OS Enterprise cluster set up with Universal Installer 0.2 modules
- A subnet range for your remote region
Getting started with remote region
We expect your already running DC/OS clusters main.tf
will look similar to this example. To deploy a remote region we have to do some changes to your main.tf
provider "aws" {
# Change your default region here
region = "us-east-1"
}
# Used to determine your public IP for forwarding rules
data "http" "whatismyip" {
url = "http://whatismyip.akamai.com/"
}
module "dcos" {
source = "dcos-terraform/dcos/aws"
version = "~> 0.2.0"
providers = {
aws = "aws"
}
cluster_name = "my-dcos-demo"
ssh_public_key_file = "<path-to-public-key-file>"
admin_ips = ["${data.http.whatismyip.body}/32"]
num_masters = "3"
num_private_agents = "2"
num_public_agents = "1"
dcos_version = "1.13.3"
dcos_variant = "ee"
dcos_license_key_contents = "${file("./license.txt")}"
# Make sure to set your credentials if you do not want the default EE
# dcos_superuser_username = "superuser-name"
# dcos_superuser_password_hash = "${file("./dcos_superuser_password_hash.sha512")}"
dcos_instance_os = "centos_7.5"
bootstrap_instance_type = "m5.large"
masters_instance_type = "m5.2xlarge"
private_agents_instance_type = "m5.xlarge"
public_agents_instance_type = "m5.xlarge"
}
output "masters-ips" {
value = "${module.dcos.masters-ips}"
}
output "cluster-address" {
value = "${module.dcos.masters-loadbalancer}"
}
output "public-agents-loadbalancer" {
value = "${module.dcos.public-agents-loadbalancer}"
}
Remote region provider
The first change we have to apply to your main.tf
is adding a specific provider statement for the remote region. In this example we will use us-west-2
with the alias usw2
as our remote region. We also add an alias statement to the provider used deploying our region holding the master instances.
This needs to be done so our modules know which account credentials to use.
provider "aws" {
# Change your default region here
region = "us-east-1"
alias = "master"
}
provider "aws" {
# Change your default region here
region = "us-west-2"
alias = "usw2"
}
# ...
Shared config options
To create the remote region and its infrastructure we will use the same underlying modules as in our master region. This also means there will be some information needed for both infrastructures like cluster_name
, admin_ips
and ssh_public_key_file
. To make the operation easier you should define local variables in your main.tf
that will be used in every module.
#...
// lets define variables which are shared between all regions
locals {
ssh_public_key_file = "~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
cluster_name = "my-dcos-demo"
admin_ips = ["${data.http.whatismyip.body}/32"]
}
#...
Internal subnetworks
Part of the shared information is which internal subnets are used in your infrastructure. This information needs to be known by all parts of the DC/OS so traffic can be routed and is allowed by the security groups. If you did not specify subnet_range
, terraform uses the default which is 172.16.0.0/16
. The remote region we want to specify needs its own subnet.
To have a clear separation between our master and our remote regions we will take 10.128.0.0/16
as our remote regions subnet. Also, we will use a map variable to assign the networks to regions. This will make it easier when adding additional regions in the future.
The locals section will now look like this
#...
// lets define variables which are shared between all regions
locals {
ssh_public_key_file = "~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
cluster_name = "my-dcos-demo"
admin_ips = ["${data.http.whatismyip.body}/32"]
region_networks = {
// dont use 172.17/26 as its used by docker.
"master" = "172.16.0.0/16" // this is the default
"usw2" = "10.128.0.0/16"
}
}
#...
Allowed internal networks
To let our main region allow traffic from the remote region and vice versa we have to specify the accepted_internal_networks
variable in both. This variable will inform the security group which allows the agents and masters to communicate to each other. accepted_internal_networks
can contain the regions network which makes it extremly easy to let terraform calculate the value for this variable. We will use the values method to retrieve the subnets from locals.region_networks
which we previously defined.
The locals section will now look like this:
#...
// lets define variables which are shared between all regions
locals {
ssh_public_key_file = "<path-to-public-key-file>"
cluster_name = "my-dcos-demo"
region_networks = {
// dont use 172.17/26 as its used by docker.
"master" = "172.16.0.0/16" // this is the default
"usw2" = "10.128.0.0/16"
}
accepted_internal_networks = "${values(local.region_networks)}"
}
#...
The remote region
Before we start changing values within the dcos
module we will append the infrastructure definition of the remote region to your main.tf
. In our example case we only want to have private agents in our remote region, and both private and public agents can be put in a remote region.
To only start private agents we will set num_masters = 0
and num_public_agents = 0
. Due to some internal limitation we also have to tell the infrastructure module not preparing load balancers for masters and public agents with lb_disable_public_agents
and lb_disable_masters
Another important topic to mention is naming. To distinguish between instances of your main and your remote region we introduced the name_prefix
variable which allows you to add a prefix to the name of every resource. In this example we set the name_prefix
to the short name of the remote region.
In the following example you will also find the shared config options being used in the module call referenced by e.g. local.admin_ips
and the provider we specified for the region
#...
module "dcos-usw2" {
source = "dcos-terraform/infrastructure/aws"
version = "~> 0.2.0"
admin_ips = ["${local.admin_ips}"]
name_prefix = "usw2"
cluster_name = "${local.cluster_name}"
accepted_internal_networks = "${values(local.region_networks)}"
num_masters = 0
num_private_agents = 1
num_public_agents = 0
lb_disable_public_agents = true
lb_disable_masters = true
ssh_public_key_file = "${local.ssh_public_key_file}"
subnet_range = "${local.region_networks["usw2"]}"
providers = {
aws = "aws.usw2"
}
}
Peering to the main DC/OS region
We now need to establish a connection between the two infrastructures. The Universal Installer provides a module for this task. In this module we reference data from both infrastructures the main region holding DC/OS masters and the remote region holding your remote private agents.
The only information this module needs to receive is the output of our dcos
and dcos-usw2
modules. We will append this module to the end of your main.tf
Here is the example vpc-peering-section
#...
module "vpc-connection-master-usw2" {
source = "dcos-terraform/vpc-peering/aws" // module init the peering
version = "~> 0.2.0"
providers = {
"aws.local" = "aws.master"
"aws.remote" = "aws.usw2"
}
local_vpc_id = "${module.dcos.infrastructure.vpc.id}"
local_subnet_range = "${local.region_networks["master"]}"
remote_vpc_id = "${module.dcos-usw2.vpc.id}"
remote_subnet_range = "${local.region_networks["usw2"]}"
}
Changes to dcos module
At this point its time to do changes to your dcos
module so it knows about the remote region and is able to install the remote agents.
- Choose a subnet range. In general this change is not needed but we wanted to make your example pretty specific.
subnet_range = "${local.region_networks["master"]}"
- Add accepted internal networks. Same as in the remote region we need to specify the internal networks to allow internal traffic flow.
accepted_internal_networks = "${values(local.region_networks)}"
- Change the cluster_name. As this is a shared resource we will make use of the local variable.
cluster_name = "${local.cluster_name}"
- List the SSH key. This is also a shared resource and we can make use of the local variable
ssh_public_key_file = "${local.ssh_public_key_file}"
- Add the admin IPs following the same pattern.
admin_ips = ["${local.admin_ips}"
]
- Add the private agents. This nearly the most important new variable. This tells the DC/OS installation module which other agents need to be installed.
additional_private_agent_ips = ["${module.dcos-usw2.private_agents.private_ips}"]
- Update the providers section. As we change to explicit alias providers we have to point our dcos module to this specific provider.
providers = {
aws = "aws.master"
}
Example dcos module
After the changes above have been applied, your dcos
module should look like this
module "dcos" {
source = "dcos-terraform/dcos/aws"
version = "~> 0.2.0"
cluster_name = "${local.cluster_name}"
ssh_public_key_file = "${local.ssh_public_key_file}"
admin_ips = ["${local.admin_ips}"]
subnet_range = "${local.region_networks["master"]}"
num_masters = "1"
num_private_agents = "2"
num_public_agents = "1"
dcos_version = "1.13.3"
dcos_instance_os = "centos_7.5"
bootstrap_instance_type = "m5.large"
masters_instance_type = "m5.2xlarge"
private_agents_instance_type = "m5.xlarge"
public_agents_instance_type = "m5.xlarge"
accepted_internal_networks = "${values(local.region_networks)}"
additional_private_agent_ips = ["${module.dcos-usw2.private_agents.private_ips}"]
providers = {
aws = "aws.master"
}
dcos_variant = "ee"
dcos_license_key_contents = "${file("./license.txt")}"
}
