# infra/ansible — k3s HA + Cilium bootstrap (Phase 1 T-1.3) The "Cluster-join" node lifecycle stage (docs/02 stage 3) and the Flux hand-off (T-1.4 call-in). Installs a 3-server HA k3s cluster (embedded etcd), Cilium as the CNI, verifies readiness, then invokes the `bootstrap/` entrypoints. > **AUTHOR-ONLY — NOTHING HERE HAS BEEN EXECUTED.** No `ansible-playbook` run, no > `tofu apply`, no cluster contacted. The PM static-validates (see below). Serves **R-ENV-01/02**, **R-PLAT-01**, ADR-0001 (k3s), ADR-0002 (Cilium), ADR-0004 (Flux hand-off), ADR-0007 (SOPS). ## Prerequisites 1. `tofu apply` in `../tofu/` has created the VMs; cloud-init (`../cloud-init/`) has baselined them (modules, sysctls, Longhorn disk, SSH user). 2. Inventory reflects the node IPs. `inventory/hosts.ini` ships aligned with the LOCKED defaults; regenerate from tofu if overridden: `cd ../tofu && tofu output -raw ansible_inventory > ../ansible/inventory/hosts.ini` 3. Run from the dev container (has `kubectl` + `helm`, used by the Cilium/verify/ Flux plays via `delegate_to: localhost`). ## Run order ``` cd infra/ansible ansible-playbook playbooks/site.yml # everything, in order # — or step by step — ansible-playbook playbooks/k3s.yml # 1. HA k3s (primary --cluster-init, then joins) ansible-playbook playbooks/cilium.yml # 2. Cilium CNI (cluster is NotReady until this) ansible-playbook playbooks/verify.yml # 3. gate #1: 3 nodes Ready, Hubble up, no kube-proxy ansible-playbook playbooks/flux-bootstrap.yml # 4. hand off to bootstrap/ (SOPS then Flux) ``` ## What each layer does | Playbook / role | Action | |---|---| | `k3s.yml` / `k3s_server` | k3s server install with `--flannel-backend=none --disable-kube-proxy --disable-network-policy --disable=traefik,servicelb`; primary `--cluster-init`, secondaries join via the primary's node-token (fetched, never pre-stored) | | `cilium.yml` / `cilium` | Gateway API CRDs, then Helm `cilium` with `kubeProxyReplacement`, `k8sServiceHost/Port`, `gatewayAPI`, `egressGateway`, `hubble`, `l2announcements` | | `verify.yml` / `cluster_verify` | waits nodes Ready + Cilium/Hubble rollout; asserts kube-proxy absent | | `flux-bootstrap.yml` / `flux_bootstrap` | calls `bootstrap/` (SOPS age key, then `flux bootstrap --path=clusters/dev`) | ## Cilium ownership / parity contract (docs/02) Ansible installs Cilium; the Flux `platform/cilium` HelmRelease adopts config afterward. The parity-critical values **must match** between this role's `templates/cilium-values.yaml.j2` and that HelmRelease: - `kubeProxyReplacement: true` - `k8sServiceHost: {{ k3s_api_host }}` (= primary node IP, `10.73.0.11` by default) - `k8sServicePort: 6443` The HelmRelease currently has `k8sServiceHost: "REPLACE-ME"` — WS-NET must set it to the same value this role uses (surfaced by `tofu output primary_node_ip`). ## Interface assumed of `bootstrap/` (authored by other workers, NOT here) `roles/flux_bootstrap` invokes two entrypoints via overridable command vars: - `flux_bootstrap_sops_cmd` → `bootstrap/sops/install-age-key.sh` (Security Engineer, T-1.4): installs the age **private** key as the `sops-age` Secret in `flux-system`. Key never committed (`.gitignore` guards `age.key`/`*.key`). - `flux_bootstrap_flux_cmd` → `bootstrap/flux/bootstrap.sh` (GitOps Engineer, T-1.4): runs `flux bootstrap ... --path=clusters/dev`. **These script names/args are assumptions** — if the bootstrap deliverables expose different entrypoints, override the two vars in `roles/flux_bootstrap/defaults/main.yml`; the task graph is unchanged. Flagged for PM reconciliation. ## Static validation (PM, in dev container — NOT run here) ``` yamllint -c ../../ci/yamllint.yaml infra/ansible ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.ini --syntax-check playbooks/site.yml ansible-lint playbooks/ roles/ # if the profile is enforced for infra/ ```
