LXD 与生产集群 (Kubernetes) 中的经典 VM

Question

I'm setting up a bare-metal hypervisor with VMware ESXi on a local server which will have a kubernetes cluster.

Should I use Linux containers with LXD to set up my Kubernetes cluster? or should I use several VMs that I can provide with my VMware hypervisor?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you are referring to by using LXD to set up your Kubernetes cluster. Kubernetes doesn't officially support LXC/LXD .

So, you can use several VMs for your Kubernetes control (masters) and data planes (nodes). You can either use straight docker or any containerd or cri-o as shims to run your container runtime.

In any case, most of this stuff is already set up by the deployment tools like:

• kubespray
• kubeadm
• kops
• Vendor offerings (EKS, GKS, AKS, etc)
• etc

If you are looking for something more minimal you can try:

• minikube
• kind
• microk8s
• K3s
