Requirements

Kubernetes: >= 1.18.0

Repository	Name	Version

https://zero-down-time.github.io/kubezero/	kubezero-lib	>= 0.1.3

KubeZero default configuration

We run agents on the controllers as well, so we force eg. ebs csi controllers and others to assume roles etc. This means we need to run kiam containers on the controllers using hostnetwork: true. Therefore we also change the default port from 443 to 6444 to not collide with the potential api-server port on the controllers. Make sure any firewall rules between controllers and workers are adjusted accordingly.

Kiam Certificates

The required certificates for Kiam server and agents are provided by a local cert-manager, which is configured to have a cluster local self-signing CA as part of the KubeZero platform. Kiam TLS Config KubeZero cert-manager

Metadata restrictions

Some services require access to some basic AWS information. One example is the aws-ebs-csi controller. By default all access to the meta-data service is blocked, expect for:

• /latest/meta-data/instance-id
• /latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document

Debugging

• Verify iptables rules on hosts to be set by the kiam agent: iptables -L -t nat -n --line-numbers iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING <wrong rule>
