I wrote an ansible playbook that installs k8s and joins new nodes to the cluster

After rebuilding lab environments for what feels like the 100th time now, I decided to just write a playbook to just do this for me.

The playbook can be found here and you might want to work off this example inventory.

The playbook will create a new cluster and add nodes to an existing cluster.

It tested against Ubuntu 20.04lts with this version of ansible:

$ ansible --version
ansible [core 2.11.1] 
  config file = None
  configured module search path = ['/Users/redacted/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /Users/redacted/Library/Python/3.8/lib/python/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /Users/redacted/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /Users/redacted/Library/Python/3.8/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.8.2 (default, Apr  8 2021, 23:19:18) [Clang 12.0.5 (clang-1205.0.22.9)]
  jinja version = 3.0.1
  libyaml = True

Creating New Clusters

Populate your inventory.yaml with information on all the servers that need to be in the cluster and run the playbook:

$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml k8s-multi-master-setup.yaml

Adding Nodes to Clusters

Add the new node information to inventory.yaml and run the playbook.

$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml k8s-multi-master-setup.yaml
