## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
This guide assumes that you have a running Kubernetes Cluster
|
|
Federation installation. If not, then head over to the
|
|
[federation admin guide](/docs/admin/federation/) to learn how to
|
|
bring up a cluster federation (or have your cluster administrator do
|
|
this for you).
|
|
Other tutorials, such as Kelsey Hightower's
|
|
[Federated Kubernetes Tutorial](https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-cluster-federation),
|
|
might also help you create a Federated Kubernetes cluster.
|
|
|
|
You should also have a basic
|
|
[working knowledge of Kubernetes](/docs/getting-started-guides/) in
|
|
general and DaemonSets in particular.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
DaemonSets in federation control plane ("Federated Daemonsets" in
|
|
this guide) are very similar to the traditional [Kubernetes
|
|
DaemonSets](/docs/user-guide/DaemonSets/) and provide the same functionality.
|
|
Creating them in the federation control plane ensures that they are synchronized
|
|
across all the clusters in federation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Creating a Federated Daemonset
|
|
|
|
The API for Federated Daemonset is 100% compatible with the
|
|
API for traditional Kubernetes DaemonSet. You can create a DaemonSet by sending
|
|
a request to the federation apiserver.
|
|
|
|
You can do that using [kubectl](/docs/user-guide/kubectl/) by running:
|
|
|
|
``` shell
|
|
kubectl --context=federation-cluster create -f mydaemonset.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `--context=federation-cluster` flag tells kubectl to submit the
|
|
request to the Federation apiserver instead of sending it to a kubernetes
|
|
cluster.
|
|
|
|
Once a Federated Daemonset is created, the federation control plane will create
|
|
a matching DaemonSet in all underlying kubernetes clusters.
|
|
You can verify this by checking each of the underlying clusters, for example:
|
|
|
|
``` shell
|
|
kubectl --context=gce-asia-east1a get daemonset mydaemonset
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The above assumes that you have a context named 'gce-asia-east1a'
|
|
configured in your client for your cluster in that zone.
|
|
|
|
These DaemonSets in underlying clusters will match the Federated Daemonset.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Updating a Federated Daemonset
|
|
|
|
You can update a Federated Daemonset as you would update a Kubernetes
|
|
DaemonSet; however, for a Federated Daemonset, you must send the request to
|
|
the federation apiserver instead of sending it to a specific Kubernetes cluster.
|
|
The federation control plane ensures that whenever the Federated Daemonset is
|
|
updated, it updates the corresponding DaemonSets in all underlying clusters to
|
|
match it.
|
|
|
|
## Deleting a Federated Daemonset
|
|
|
|
You can delete a Federated Daemonset as you would delete a Kubernetes
|
|
DaemonSet; however, for a Federated Daemonset, you must send the request to
|
|
the federation apiserver instead of sending it to a specific Kubernetes cluster.
|
|
|
|
For example, you can do that using kubectl by running:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
kubectl --context=federation-cluster delete daemonset mydaemonset
|
|
``` |
