Flannel charm

Flannel is a virtual network that gives a subnet to each host for use with container runtimes.

This charm will deploy flannel as a background service, and configure CNI for use with flannel, on any principal charm that implements the kubernetes-cni interface.

Usage

The flannel charm is a subordinate. This charm will require a principal charm that implements the kubernetes-cni interface in order to properly deploy.

juju deploy cs:~containers/flannel
juju deploy cs:~containers/etcd
juju deploy cs:~containers/kubernetes-master
juju deploy cs:~containers/kubernetes-worker
juju add-relation flannel etcd
juju add-relation flannel kubernetes-master
juju add-relation flannel kubernetes-worker

Configuration

name type Default Description
cidr string 10.1.0.0/16 Network CIDR to assign to Flannel
iface string   The interface to bind flannel overlay networking. The default value is the interface bound to the cni endpoint.
nagios_context string juju See notes
nagios_servicegroups string   A comma-separated list of nagios servicegroups. If left empty, the nagios_context will be used as the servicegroup

nagios_context

Description:

Used by the nrpe subordinate charms. A string that will be prepended to instance name to set the host name in nagios. So for instance the hostname would be something like:

    juju-myservice-0

If you’re running multiple environments with the same services in them this allows you to differentiate between them.

Known Limitations

This subordinate does not support being co-located with other deployments of the flannel subordinate (to gain 2 vlans on a single application). If you require this support please file a bug.

This subordinate also leverages juju-resources, so it is currently only available on juju 2.0+ controllers.
