Packer + MicroK8s + EC2

[juliusoh]

Summary

I install Microk8s on packer

Via:

`

Install MicroK8s

sudo snap install microk8s --classic sudo usermod -a -G microk8s ubuntu sudo chown -f -R ubuntu ~/.kube sudo -E microk8s status --wait-ready sudo -E microk8s kubectl get nodes sudo -E microk8s kubectl get services sudo -E microk8s reset `

I deploy new EC2 running this AMI

What Should Happen Instead?

I run microk8s kubectl get nodes

I see two nodes

I try to run microk8s reset and get This is a multi-node MicroK8s deployment. Reset is applicable for single node clusters. Please remove all joined nodes before calling reset.

Hi @juliusoh, how do you see two nodes? Your instructions deploy only one.

@ktsakalozos The Packer creates AMI with MicroK8s installed on it, when I provision a new EC2 instance using that AMI, and run microk8s kubectl get nodes, i see 2 nodes.

The first node is the one that packer used to provision the AMI second is the new EC2 i just provisioned

I have not used Packer but I do not see any join command so I do not see how a cluster of two nodes is created.

Somehow it displays node of the ec2 packer used to provision the ami

So when I install it on the packer it does something that persist that node data

Ok so this is a ghost node comming from the initial setup. If you try to microk8s kubectl delete node "your_ghost_node" what would happen?

[juliusoh]

Okay that fixes the duplicate ghost node thanks @ktsakalozos

Not sure why the microk8s remove node command didnt work
