Failed to deploy kubernetes cluster (Failed to deploy ntnx dvp)

Hi,I’m trying to explore kubernetes by deploying Development Cluster. But it only stuck at 8% and eventually failed with notification (Internal Error : Failed to deploy ntnx dvp).Here is my detailSegment 192.168.2.x for Guest VM,PC,AOS and AHV. Segment 192.168.3.x for Kubernetes cluster itself (DHCP Enabled)Each segment can ping each other and all those segments are able to access the internet.Here is the detail of the temporary deployed Karbon VM (After failed deploying, the VM got deleted automatically)I’ve been reading someone posted same problem like mine, and it solved because of the VM previously unable to access the internet. But mine is able to access internet, PC and the Internal Nutanix.Perhaps someone can enlighten me what did i do wrong?-Able to pull newest docker image-Able to ping Prism Central (192.168.2.11)-Able to ping CVM (192.168.2.2)-Able to access internetDeploying Cluster stuck at 8%Deleting VM after failure deploymentNotification Internal Error : Failed to deploy

Multiple worker node pools in Karbon

Node sizes are set when creating a kubernetes cluster in Karbon. These sizes cannot be changed once the cluster has been built. While this is fine, it would be nice if it was possible to have several worker node pools with different node sizes in a cluster, like in AKS (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/use-multiple-node-pools). As of now , we need to create several clusters to have worker nodes of different sizes, and this adds more master and etcd nodes as well as the need for a new subnet.For example, we could create a node pool for applications with high memory needs and another for applications that need more CPU in the same cluster. Then, we could specify which named pool we wanted to deploy to.With storage, we already have the option to create several kinds of storage, fast, slow, object, and so on.

Minimum Permissions Required for Karbon kubectl Access?

I need to create a role that will be able to get the 24 hour certificate to be able to run `kubectl` calls against Karbon.When I look at the role creation page, there are a lot of options there. I am a bit overwhelmed in trying to figure out what permissions I need to just grant this one function.What permissions are needed for a user to be able to get the 24 hour certificate to be able to run `kubectl` commands?

Keycloack operator/PotgresSQL permission denied

Hello everyone, I'm having some trouble using the keycloak operator installing on a simple Kubernetes Cluster on Karbon Basically, what happens is that when I install a new Keycloak, the PostgresSQL is not able to run properly because it does not have permissions to create a new directory on /var/lib/pgsql/data/userdata As far as I understood, the problem is related to the securityContext which is not set to the postgres deployment even if Postgres runs always using user 26 (as can be noted here: https://catalog.redhat.com/software/containers/rhscl/postgresql-10-rhel7/5aa63541ac3db95f196086f1?container-tabs=dockerfile) I had to do a lot of workarounds to make it work, and finally I succeded by configuring manually the security context as follows: securityContext: fsGroup: 26 runAsUser: 26 There is any possibility to set the security context via the operator? if not, can you please point me out what is the correct solution to apply?

Karbon CSR Request Stuck in Approved State

Hello, After a new deployment, I downloaded the kubeconfig and upon trying to approve a Certificate Signing Request (CSR), the csr just sits in an approved state, but never becomes Issued. Is there a restriction or something on the default-kubernetes-<clustername> user that I might not be familiar with? That or maybe my process is wrong, its odd that it just sits in an Approved state. Any help is appreciated!

Creating clusters with Calico

I just upgraded Karbon to 2.1 to gain access to the new support for Calico and was after some tips on how to create a cluster using it for networking.As I understand Calico can only be used if a cluster is created via API and not web UI. I’m assuming this is just because it didn’t make release and not another reason such as it having any issues or not being production ready? Similarly, are there any known issues currently I should be aware of?With regards to the POST I need to make to create a cluster, is there some guidance on setting the options under cni_config, specifically the cidr in ip_pool_configs and its relation to pod_ipv4_cidr, service_ipv4_cidr and node_cidr_mask_size.Thanks,Callum

Karbon Platform Services: Creating an Application

You can create intelligent applications to run on the Service Domain infrastructure or the cloud where you have pushed collected data. You can implement application YAML files to use as a template, where you can customize the template by passing existing Categories associated with a Service Domain to it.You need to create a project with at least one user to create an app. Creating an Application:Create a Kubernetes application that you can associate with a project. Before you begin To complete this task, log on to the cloud management console. If your app requires a service, make sure you enable it in the associated project. Application YAML files can also be a template where you can customize the template by passing existing Categories associated with a Service Domain to it. See also Configure Service Domain Environment Variables to set and use environment variables in your app. Nutanix recommends that you do not reuse application names after creating and then deleting (removing) an a

Docker Containers on AHV

Executive SummaryNutanix supports Docker’s rapid application container build-run-deploy paradigm with a single virtualization platform defined by consumer-grade simplicity and elastic scale. The Nutanix architecture moves beyond legacy three-tier virtualization infrastructures by using automatic scaling as well as pooling and tiering locally attached storage. The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud allows you to provision virtual machines (VMs) that can run a Docker Engine immediately after startup. Rightsized, virtualized environments like those built on the invisible Nutanix infrastructure dispense with the need to manage oversized, individual white-box server estates. Hosting containers in VMs on Nutanix allows container migration, persistent storage for containers using the Nutanix Docker Volume driver, and network and security configuration. The Acropolis Distributed Storage Fabric (DSF) easily handles mixed-workload environments that include both legacy apps (such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL

Nutanix Karbon is a curated turnkey offering that provides simplified provisioning and operations of Kubernetes clusters. Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration system for deploying and managing container-based applications. You can also set up an offline Karbon environment using the Karbon airgap, Karbon uses the CentOS Linux-based operating systems for Karbon-enabled Kubernetes cluster creation. Linux containers provide the flexibility to deploy applications in different environments with consistent results. Karbon streamlines the deployment and management of Kubernetes clusters with a simple GUI integrated into Prism Central (PC). Kibana, the built-in add-on, lets you filter and parse logs for systems, pods, and nodes. Prometheus, another add-on, provides a monitoring mechanism that triggers alerts on your cluster. Karbon also uses Pulse, Prism's health-monitoring system, which interacts with Nutanix Support to expedite cluster issue resolutions.To set up your Karbon

You created a Kubernetes cluster, now what? Download Kubeconfig

The Kubeconfig is a configuration file for running kubectl commands against the deployed Kubernetes cluster. To deploy applications on your cluster using kubectl, download the Kubernetes cluster configuration file (Kubeconfig) to your host. The Kubeconfig token expires after 24 hours. This is a security feature by design in Karbon. A fresh and valid kubeconfig can be obtained using Karbon UI or using karbonctl. Ensure that you have downloaded kubectl to the machine from which you manage the cluster. Karbonctl has undergone some improvements. You no longer need to pass the password via cleartext nor do you need to pass credentials for every karbonctl command. Also, there is no need to pass UUID of the k8s cluster. A simple login to Prims Central CLI and you can retrieve the Kubeconfig. We recommend you upgrade to Karbon 2.0 if you intend to use karbonctl. For the process of obtaining kubeconfig via Karbon UI refer to Nutanix Karbon Guide: Downloading the Kubeconfig. To perform th

Karbon Nodes TimeZone

Hi all We have karbon clusters running in our Nutanix environment, and I noticed the timezone in the Karbon cluster is not the same as that in other VMs on the Nutanix cluster. The time zone set for the Nutanix cluster is SAST (UTC +2), and the Karbon VMs timezone is UTC (UTC +0). The UTC+0 timezone is only on the Karbon Nodes. It seems it doesn’t use the Nutanix Cluster’s timezone, our logs are 2 hours behind on Karbon Clusters(all 3 cluster). Is there a way to change the timezone for Karbon?
