Unique Ray Cluster

Ansible

We use Ansible to prepare the cluster.

Pre-requisites

• You must have ssh access to the cluster.
• Must have ansible and potentially 1password-cli installed on your machine.

Playing Ansible

1. Create a ansible/values.yaml file with the appropriate values for your cluster.

2. Create a ansible/inventories/ray_cluster/hosts.yaml file with the appropriate values for your cluster.

3. Run the playbook from the ansible directory with:

ansible-playbook playbooks/provisioning.yaml --extra-vars "@values.yaml"

The provisioning playbook has several tags that you can use to run specific tasks:

• cluster: Upgrade the apt-packages, setup and harden SSH, provision management user.
• kubernetes: Provision the Kubernetes cluster with k3s.
• charts: Provision the Helm charts. You can define a list of roles to install in the values.yaml file.
• apps: Setup ArgoCD applications so they can be deployed on the cluster via ArgoCD.

To run a specific task, use the --tags option:

ansible-playbook playbooks/provisioning.yaml --extra-vars "@values.yaml" --tags "cluster,ssh,kubernetes,charts,apps"

Application Deployments

All application resources are deployed via ArgoCD. The ansible role apps will create an ArgoCD application for each app defined in the values.yaml file. Some apps, that contain multiple services, use a ArgoCD ApplicationSet to deploy each service and required resource (e.g. the 10-document-chat app).

Helm

Individual services are packaged into Helm charts and deployed via ArgoCD. The Helm charts are stored in the helm directory and are packaged and pushed to the OCI registry with the helm/publish.sh script.
