Updating a Managed Service for Kubernetes node group

Written by
Updated at November 18, 2024

Individual nodes in node groups are Yandex Compute Cloud virtual machines with automatically generated names. To configure nodes, follow the instructions below or other node group management guides.

Alert

Do not change node VM settings, including names, network interfaces, and SSH keys, using the Compute Cloud interfaces or SSH connections to the VM.

This can disrupt the operation of individual nodes, groups of nodes, and the whole Managed Service for Kubernetes cluster.

To access a node group, use its name or unique ID obtained using the command:

yc managed-kubernetes node-group list

Result:

+----------------------+----------------------+-------------+----------------------+---------------------+---------+------+
|          ID          |      CLUSTER ID      |    NAME     |  INSTANCE GROUP ID   |     CREATED AT      | STATUS  | SIZE |
+----------------------+----------------------+-------------+----------------------+---------------------+---------+------+
| catt3knapbq5******** | cati493bu7ia******** | k8s-demo-ng | cl1tbm76ms7p******** | 2019-11-20 12:01:02 | RUNNING |    2 |
+----------------------+----------------------+-------------+----------------------+---------------------+---------+------+

Before you start, make sure you have enough free resources in your cloud.

  3. Make sure the configuration files are correct.

    1. Using the command line, navigate to the folder that contains the up-to-date Terraform configuration files with an infrastructure plan.

    2. Run the command:

      terraform validate

      If there are errors in the configuration files, Terraform will point to them.

  4. Confirm updating the resources.

    1. Run the command to view planned changes:

      terraform plan

      If the resource configuration descriptions are correct, the terminal will display a list of the resources to modify and their parameters. This is a test step. No resources are updated.

    2. If you are happy with the planned changes, apply them:

      1. Run the command:

        terraform apply

      2. Confirm the update of resources.

      3. Wait for the operation to complete.

    For more information, see the Terraform provider documentation.

To update a Managed Service for Kubernetes node group's properties, use the update method for the NodeGroup resource.

To update the node group cloud labels, provide their values in the nodeTemplate.labels parameter.

To update the Managed Service for Kubernetes node name template, provide it in the nodeTemplate.name parameter. The name is unique if the template contains at least one of the following variables:

  • {instance_group.id}: Instance group ID.
  • {instance.index}: Unique instance number in the instance group. Possible values: 1 to N, where N is the number of instances in the group.
  • {instance.index_in_zone}: Instance number in a zone. It's unique for a specific instance group within the zone.
  • {instance.short_id}: Instance ID that is unique within the group. Consists of four letters.

    You can find out the names and IDs of Managed Service for Kubernetes node groups from the list of node groups in the folder.

Use the update method for the NodeGroup resource.

Alternatively, you can grant internet access permission to Managed Service for Kubernetes cluster nodes by creating and setting up a NAT gateway or NAT instance. As a result, through static routing, traffic will be routed via the gateway or a separate VM instance with NAT features.

Note

If you assigned public IP addresses to the cluster nodes and then configured the NAT gateway or NAT instance, internet access via the public IP addresses will be disabled. For more information, see the Yandex Virtual Private Cloud documentation.

Placing a taint on a node group

Adding taints results in recreation of a Managed Service for Kubernetes node group. First, all nodes in the group are deleted, then nodes with the taint are added to the group.

To place a taint on a node group:

  1. Open the current Terraform configuration file describing the Managed Service for Kubernetes node group.

    For more information about creating this file, see Creating a node group.

  2. Add the node_taints section to the node group description:

    resource "yandex_kubernetes_node_group" "<node_group_name>" {
  ...
  node_taints = [
    "<key>=<value>:<taint_effect>",
    ...
  ]
  ...
}

    Specify a key and value. Select one of the available taint effects:

    • NoSchedule: Prohibit running new pods on the group's nodes (it does not affect the running ones).
    • PreferNoSchedule: Avoid running pods on the group's nodes if there are resources available for this purpose in other groups.
    • NoExecute: Stop pods on the group's nodes, evict them to other groups, and prohibit running new pods.

    You can place multiple taints by specifying them separated by commas.

  3. Make sure the configuration files are correct.

    1. Using the command line, navigate to the folder that contains the up-to-date Terraform configuration files with an infrastructure plan.

    2. Run the command:

  --keys <key>

      You can request the name of a node group with a list of node groups in the folder.

      You can request a list of existing metadata with detailed information about the node group.

  1. Open the current Terraform configuration file describing the Managed Service for Kubernetes node group.

    For more information about creating this file, see Creating a node group.

  2. To add, modify, or delete metadata with a specific key, edit the list of keys and values in the instance_template.metadata parameter. If there is no such parameter, add it.

    resource "yandex_kubernetes_node_group" "<node_group_name>" {
  cluster_id = yandex_kubernetes_cluster.<cluster_name>.id
  ...
  instance_template {
    metadata = {
      "<key>" = "<value>"
      ...
    }
    ...
  }
  ...
}

    Tip

    Use the file() function to get a value from a file:

    "<key>" = file("<path_to_file_with_value>")

    The key value will be read from a file. This may be of use if the value is too long to provide it explicitly or contains line breaks or other special characters.

  3. Make sure the configuration files are correct.

    1. Using the command line, navigate to the folder that contains the up-to-date Terraform configuration files with an infrastructure plan.

    2. Run the command:

      terraform validate

      If there are errors in the configuration files, Terraform will point to them.

  4. Confirm updating the resources.

    1. Run the command to view planned changes:

      terraform plan

      If the resource configuration descriptions are correct, the terminal will display a list of the resources to modify and their parameters. This is a test step. No resources are updated.

    2. If you are happy with the planned changes, apply them:

      1. Run the command:

        terraform apply

      2. Confirm the update of resources.

      3. Wait for the operation to complete.

For more information, see the Terraform provider documentation.

  1. Get all the existing metadata for the node group using the get REST API method for the NodeGroup resource, and provide the node group ID in the nodeGroupId request parameter.

    You can request the name of a node group with a list of node groups in the folder.

    The metadata will be listed as key=value pairs in the nodeTemplate.metadata field of the response.

  2. Use the update REST API method for the NodeGroup resource and include the following in the request:

    • Node group ID in the nodeGroupId parameter.

    • The updateMask parameter set to nodeTemplate.metadata.

      Warning

      The API method will assign default values to all the parameters of the object you are modifying unless you explicitly provide them in your request. To avoid this, list the settings you want to change in the updateMask parameter as a single comma-separated string.

    • The nodeTemplate.metadata parameter listing the node group's metadata.

      Make the required changes to the metadata list you got in the previous step: add, modify, or delete key=value pairs. Then provide the updated list in the nodeTemplate.metadata parameter.

      Alert

      Metadata not listed in the nodeTemplate.metadata parameter will be deleted.
