Calico Route Reflector Operator

This project is work in progress !!! Use your own risk !!!

This Kubernetes operator can monitor and scale Calico route refloctor pods based on cluster size. The operator has a few environment variable:

  • ROUTE_REFLECTOR_MIN Minimum number of route reflector pods, default 3
  • ROUTE_REFLECTOR_MAX Maximum number of route reflector pods, default 10
  • ROUTE_REFLECTOR_RATIO Node / route reflector pod ratio, default 0.2 (100 * 0.2 = 20)
  • ROUTE_REFLECTOR_NODE_LABEL Node label of the route reflector nodes, default calico-route-reflector=

During the api/core/v1/Node reconcile phases it calculates the right number of route refloctor pods by multiply the number of nodes with the given ratio. It updates the route reflector replicas to the expected number.

Usage

This is a standard Kubebuilder opertor so building and deploying process is similar as a (stock Kubebuilder project)[https://book.kubebuilder.io/cronjob-tutorial/running.html].

Use official image: make install deploy

Build your own image: IMG_REPO=[IMG_REPO] IMG_NAME=[IMG_NAME] IMG_VERSION=[IMG_VERSION] make docker-push install deploy

Roadmap

  • Use custom resource instead of environment variables
  • Auto balancing of route reflector pods between zones
  • Take care on Node status, current POC checks only number of nodes
  • Dedicated or preferred node label
  • Disallow node label
  • More sophisticated ratio calculation
