-
-## Requirements
-
-* Terraform 1.3.7
-
-## Quickstart
-
-### Export Variables
-
-* Your NIFCLOUD credentials:
-
-  ```bash
-  export NIFCLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<YOUR ACCESS KEY>
-  export NIFCLOUD_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<YOUR SECRET ACCESS KEY>
-  ```
-
-* The SSH KEY used to connect to the instance:
-  * FYI: [Cloud Help(SSH Key)](https://pfs.nifcloud.com/help/ssh.htm)
-
-  ```bash
-  export TF_VAR_SSHKEY_NAME=<YOUR SSHKEY NAME>
-  ```
-
-* The IP address to connect to bastion server:
-
-  ```bash
-  export TF_VAR_working_instance_ip=$(curl ifconfig.me)
-  ```
-
-### Create The Infrastructure
-
-* Run terraform:
-
-  ```bash
-  terraform init
-  terraform apply -var-file ./sample-inventory/cluster.tfvars
-  ```
-
-### Setup The Kubernetes
-
-* Generate cluster configuration file:
-
-  ```bash
-  ./generate-inventory.sh > sample-inventory/inventory.ini
-  ```
-
-* Export Variables:
-
-  ```bash
-  BASTION_IP=$(terraform output -json | jq -r '.kubernetes_cluster.value.bastion_info | to_entries[].value.public_ip')
-  API_LB_IP=$(terraform output -json | jq -r '.kubernetes_cluster.value.control_plane_lb')
-  CP01_IP=$(terraform output -json | jq -r '.kubernetes_cluster.value.control_plane_info | to_entries[0].value.private_ip')
-  export ANSIBLE_SSH_ARGS="-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o ProxyCommand=\"ssh root@${BASTION_IP} -W %h:%p\""
-  ```
-
-* Set ssh-agent"
-
-  ```bash
-  eval `ssh-agent`
-  ssh-add <THE PATH TO YOUR SSH KEY>
-  ```
-
-* Run cluster.yml playbook:
-
-  ```bash
-  cd ./../../../
-  ansible-playbook -i contrib/terraform/nifcloud/inventory/inventory.ini cluster.yml
-  ```
-
-### Connecting to Kubernetes
-
-* [Install kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/) on the localhost
-* Fetching kubeconfig file:
-
-  ```bash
-  mkdir -p ~/.kube
-  scp -o ProxyCommand="ssh root@${BASTION_IP} -W %h:%p" root@${CP01_IP}:/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf ~/.kube/config
-  ```
-
-* Rewrite /etc/hosts
-
-  ```bash
-  sudo echo "${API_LB_IP} lb-apiserver.kubernetes.local" >> /etc/hosts
-  ```
-
-* Run kubectl
-
-  ```bash
-  kubectl get node
-  ```
-
-## Variables
-
-* `region`: Region where to run the cluster
-* `az`: Availability zone where to run the cluster
-* `private_ip_bn`: Private ip address of bastion server
-* `private_network_cidr`:  Subnet of private network
-* `instances_cp`: Machine to provision as Control Plane. Key of this object will be used as part of the machine' name
-  * `private_ip`: private ip address of machine
-* `instances_wk`: Machine to provision as Worker Node. Key of this object will be used as part of the machine' name
-  * `private_ip`: private ip address of machine
-* `instance_key_name`: The key name of the Key Pair to use for the instance
-* `instance_type_bn`: The instance type of bastion server
-* `instance_type_wk`: The instance type of worker node
-* `instance_type_cp`: The instance type of control plane
-* `image_name`: OS image used for the instance
-* `working_instance_ip`: The IP address to connect to bastion server
-* `accounting_type`: Accounting type. (1: monthly, 2: pay per use)

 For more information on kubeconfig and accessing a Kubernetes cluster, refer to
 the Kubernetes [documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/configure-access-multiple-clusters/).

-## Accessing Kubernetes Dashboard
-
-Supported version is kubernetes-dashboard v2.0.x :
-
- Login option : token/kubeconfig by default
- Deployed by default in "kube-system" namespace, can be overridden with `dashboard_namespace: kubernetes-dashboard` in inventory,
- Only serves over https
-
-Access is described in [dashboard docs](https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/tree/master/docs/user/accessing-dashboard). With kubespray's default deployment in kube-system namespace, instead of kubernetes-dashboard :
-
- Proxy URL is <http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/#/login>
- kubectl commands must be run with "-n kube-system"
-
-Accessing through Ingress is highly recommended. For proxy access, please note that proxy must listen to [localhost](https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/issues/692#issuecomment-220492484) (`proxy  --address="x.x.x.x"` will not work)
-
-For token authentication, guide to create Service Account is provided in [dashboard sample user](https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/blob/master/docs/user/access-control/creating-sample-user.md) doc. Still take care of default namespace.
-
-Access can also by achieved via ssh tunnel on a control plane :
-
-```bash
-# localhost:8081 will be sent to control-plane-1's own localhost:8081
-ssh -L8001:localhost:8001 user@control-plane-1
-sudo -i
-kubectl proxy
-```
-

Max Gautier	fcecaf6943	wait for control plane node to become ready after joining (#12794 ) When joining a control plane node and "upgrading" the cluster setup (for example, to update etcd addresses after adding a new etcd) in the same playbook run, the node can take a bit of time to become ready after joining. This triggers a kubeadm preflight check (ControlPlaneNodesReady) in kubeadm upgrade, which is run directly after the join tasks. Add a configurable wait for the control plane node to become Ready to fix this race condition.	2026-01-28 22:15:51 +05:30
Max Gautier	37f7a86014	etcd-certs: only change necessary permissions (#12908 ) We currently recursively set the permissions of /etc/ssl/etcd/ssl (default path) to 700. But this removes group permission from the files under it, and certain composents (like calio with etcd datastore) rely on it ; thus, the upgrade of a cluster can fail because the calico-kube-controller can't access the certs, and thus the etcd. This works in other case because as far as I can tell, the apiserver which do access the etcd run as root (the owner of the files, not just the "group owner") We also for some reasons do this twice. Only create the etcd cert directory with the correct permissions once, not recursively.	2026-01-27 20:25:52 +05:30
