Terraform Talos Save

Terraform examples to run Talos

Project README

Terraform examples to launch Talos.

I store here the terraform code to launch Talos in the clouds. I wouldn't use the terrafrom modules from internet. The goal is to create all cloud services from scratch.

Ideas

First, I will create separate clusters on each cloud provider, test them thoroughly, and bring them close to production readiness. When I merge these separate Kubernetes clusters into one, they will have a single control plane.

Why is it so important?

Having a single Kubernetes control plane that spans multiple cloud providers can offer several benefits:

  • Improved resilience and availability: By using multiple cloud providers, you can reduce the risk of downtime due to a single point of failure.
  • Flexibility: A single control plane allows you to easily move workloads between different cloud providers, depending on your needs.
  • Cost savings: You can take advantage of the different pricing models and discounts offered by different cloud providers to save on costs.
  • Improved security: By using multiple cloud providers, you can implement a defense-in-depth strategy to protect your data and reduce the risk of a security breach.
  • Decrease the time to recovery (TTR)

Clouds

Platform Checked Talos version Addons Setup type Nat-IPv4 IPv6
Azure 1.3.4 CCM,CSI,Autoscaler many regions, many zones
Exoscale 1.3.0 CCM,Autoscaler many regions
GCP 1.3.4 CCM,CSI,Autoscaler one region, many zones
Hetzner 1.4.0 CCM,CSI,Autoscaler many regions, one network zone
Openstack 1.3.4 CCM,CSI many regions, many zones
Oracle 1.3.4 CCM,CSI,Autoscaler one region, many zones
Proxmox 1.3.4 CCM,CSI one region, mny zones
Scaleway 1.3.4 CCM,CSI one region

Known issues

  • Talos does not support Oracle CSI.

Multi cloud compatibility

CCM compatibility, which can work together:

  • Talos CCM in mode: cloud-node
  • Other CCMs in mode: cloud-node-lifecycle

Common

  • cilium network with vxlan tunnels.
  • ingress-nginx (daemonsets) runs on web role nodes. It uses hostNetwork ports 80,443 for optimizations. It helps me to tweak the kernel on a host and apply it to ingress controller. And I can disable conntrack too.
  • coredns-local (daemonsets) uses dummy interface on al nodes and has ip 169.254.2.53 It decrease the dns response (all traffic does not leave the node).
  • rancher.io/local-path as default storage class.
