问题
Maybe my question does not make sense, but this is what I'm trying to do:
- I have a running Kubernetes cluster running on CoreOS on bare metal.
- I am trying to mount block storage from an OpenStack cloud provider with Cinder.
From my readings, to be able to connect to the block storage provider, I need kubelet to be configured with cloud-provider=openstack, and use a cloud.conf file for the configuration of credentials.
I did that and the auth part seems to work fine (i.e. I successfully connect to the cloud provider), however kubelet then complains that it cannot find my node on the openstack provider.
I get:
Unable to construct api.Node object for kubelet: failed to get external ID from cloud provider: Failed to find object
This is similar to this question:
Unable to construct api.Node object for kubelet: failed to get external ID from cloud provider: Failed to find object
However, I know kubelet will not find my node at the OpenStack provider since it is not hosted there! The error makes sense, but how do I avoid it?
In short, how do I tell kubelet not to look for my node there, as I only need it to look up the storage block to mount it?
Is it even possible to mount block storage this way? Am I misunderstanding how this works?
回答1:
There seem to be new ways to attach Cinder storage to bare metal, but it's apparently just PoC

Unfortunately, I don't think you can decouple the cloud provider for the node and that for the volume, at least not in the vanilla kubernetes.
