Installing DCE 5.0 Enterprise Package on Alibaba Cloud ECS¶

This page will guide you through the process of installing DCE 5.0 on Alibaba Cloud ECS.

Prerequisites¶

Prepare Alibaba Cloud ECS virtual machines. In this example, we will create three Ubuntu 22.10 Server 64-bit instances, each with a configuration of 8 cores and 16 GB RAM.
Complete the necessary preparations as described in the preparation guide.

Deployment Steps¶

When deploying DCE 5.0 on Alibaba Cloud ECS, special handling is required for load balancing capability. Since CloudProvider is not installed in the virtual machines, LoadBalancer-type services cannot be recognized. Therefore, we provide three possible solutions:

Solution 1: NodePort + Alibaba Cloud SLB
Solution 2: cloudLB + CCM component deployment
Solution 3: NodePort + CCM component deployment

Solution 1: NodePort + Alibaba Cloud SLB¶

Log in to a machine and download the dce5-installer binary file.

Assuming VERSION is v0.18.0:

export VERSION=v0.18.0
curl -Lo ./dce5-installer https://proxy-qiniu-download-public.daocloud.io/DaoCloud_Enterprise/dce5/dce5-installer-$VERSION
chmod +x ./dce5-installer

Configure the cluster configuration file clusterConfig.yaml.

Use the following configuration, making sure to set loadBalancer.type = NodePort and fill in the private IP addresses of the hosts:

clusterConfig.yaml

apiVersion: provision.daocloud.io/v1alpha3
kind: ClusterConfig
spec:
  loadBalancer:
    type: NodePort
  masterNodes:
    - nodeName: "g-master1"
      ip: xx.xx.xx.xx
      ansibleUser: "root"
      ansiblePass: "dangerous"
    - nodeName: "g-master2"
      ip: xx.xx.xx.xx
      ansibleUser: "root"
      ansiblePass: "dangerous"
    - nodeName: "g-master3"
      ip: xx.xx.xx.xx
      ansibleUser: "root"
      ansiblePass: "dangerous"

Begin the installation.

./dce5-installer cluster-create -c sample/clusterConfig.yaml

Installation successful.
Check the NodePort port on which the istio-ingressgateway service is exposed. In this example, it's 32060.
```
kubectl get svc -A | grep NodePort
```
Create an Alibaba Cloud SLB and direct the public TCP traffic of the SLB to the ECS hosts' port 32060. This needs to be done for all three hosts.
Modify the ghippo reverse proxy configuration following the documentation at Custom Reverse Proxy Server Address. After modification, you can directly access DCE 5.0 using the SLB's public IP address + Port, as shown in the following image:

Solution 2: cloudLB + CCM Component Deployment¶

Log in to a machine and download the dce5-installer binary file.

Assuming VERSION is v0.18.0:

export VERSION=v0.18.0
curl -Lo ./dce5-installer https://proxy-qiniu-download-public.daocloud.io/DaoCloud_Enterprise/dce5/dce5-installer-$VERSION
chmod +x ./dce5-installer

Configure the cluster configuration file clusterConfig.yaml.

Use the following configuration, making sure to set loadBalancer.type = cloudLB and fill in the private IP addresses of the hosts:

clusterConfig.yaml

apiVersion: provision.daocloud.io/v1alpha3
kind: ClusterConfig
spec:
  loadBalancer:
    type: cloudLB
  masterNodes:
    - nodeName: "g-master1"
      ip: xx.xx.xx.xx
      ansibleUser: "root"
      ansiblePass: "dangerous"
    - nodeName: "g-master2"
      ip: xx.xx.xx.xx
      ansibleUser: "root"
      ansiblePass: "dangerous"
    - nodeName: "g-master3"
      ip: xx.xx.xx.xx
      ansibleUser: "root"
      ansiblePass: "dangerous"

Start the installation and deploy the cluster

Use the -j parameter to specify steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to complete the deployment of the k8s cluster.
```
./dce5-installer cluster-create -c sample/clusterConfig.yaml -j 1,2,3,4,5,6
```
After successful installation, the output result is as shown in the following figure:
Install Alibaba Cloud CCM

Refer to the Alibaba Cloud documentation for deployment.

The nodeSelector parameter in the ccm.yaml file needs to be modified to node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane: ""

After successful installation, it should appear as shown in the following figures:
Continue the installation of DCE 5.0 and install all product components

Use the -j parameter to specify step 7 and above to complete the remaining steps.
```
./dce5-installer cluster-create -c sample/clusterConfig.yaml -j 7+
```
After successful installation, a public LB instance will be created by default, and DCE 5.0 can be accessed based on the assigned IP.

Solution 3: NodePort + CCM Component Deployment¶

Log in to a machine and download the dce5-installer binary file.

Assuming VERSION is v0.18.0:

export VERSION=v0.18.0
curl -Lo ./dce5-installer https://proxy-qiniu-download-public.daocloud.io/DaoCloud_Enterprise/dce5/dce5-installer-$VERSION
chmod +x ./dce5-installer

Configure the cluster configuration file clusterConfig.yaml.

Use the following configuration, making sure to set loadBalancer.type = NodePort and fill in the private IP addresses of the hosts:

clusterConfig.yaml

apiVersion: provision.daocloud.io/v1alpha3
kind: ClusterConfig
spec:
  loadBalancer:
    type: NodePort
  masterNodes:
    - nodeName: "g-master1"
      ip: xx.xx.xx.xx
      ansibleUser: "root"
      ansiblePass: "dangerous"
    - nodeName: "g-master2"
      ip: xx.xx.xx.xx
      ansibleUser: "root"
      ansiblePass: "dangerous"
    - nodeName: "g-master3"
      ip: xx.xx.xx.xx
      ansibleUser: "root"
      ansiblePass: "dangerous"

Start the installation

./dce5-installer cluster-create -c sample/clusterConfig.yaml

Installation successful
The installed istio-ingressgateway service looks as shown in the following image:
Install CCM by following the steps mentioned in Solution 2.
Modify the istio-ingressgateway service's type to LoadBalancer.

Before modification:

After modification:
Modify the ghippo reverse proxy configuration.

Refer to the documentation on Custom Reverse Proxy Server Address, where the proxy address should be set to the IP address assigned to istio-ingressgateway when its type was changed to LoadBalancer. After successful modification, you can access it using this IP address.
