[Windows] Finish removing Docker and userspace kube-proxy support
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
We update the Windows documentation to remove all Docker-specific
instructions, and all mentions of (userspace) kube-proxy.

We also update Windows scripts to remove Docker support. The
Prepare-AntreaAgent.ps1 script was still defaulting to installing
kube-proxy, so we update the script to change this default behavior. For
all the scripts, "omitting" kube-proxy is now the default behavior. The
corresponding script parameters have not been removed yet, but they are
not officially deprecated, and we can remove them in a future release,
such as Antrea v2.3.

Fixes antrea-io#5630

### Installation as a Pod using wins for Docker (DEPRECATED)

*Dockershim was deprecated in K8s 1.20, and removed in K8s version 1.24. These
steps may work with [cri-dockerd](https://github.com/Mirantis/cri-dockerd) but
this is not something we validated. Antrea is no longer tested with Docker on
Windows, and we intend to remove these steps from the documentation in Antrea
version 2.0.*

Running Antrea with Docker on Windows uses
[wins](https://github.com/rancher/wins), which lets you run services on the
Window hosts, while managing them as if they were Pods.

#### Add Windows antrea-agent DaemonSet

For example, these commands will download the antrea-agent manifest, set
`kubeAPIServerOverride`, and deploy the antrea-agent DaemonSet when using the
Docker container runtime:

```bash
KUBE_APISERVER=$(kubectl config view -o jsonpath='{.clusters[0].cluster.server}') && \
curl -sL https://github.com/antrea-io/antrea/releases/download/<TAG>/antrea-windows.yml | \
sed "s|.*kubeAPIServerOverride: \"\"| kubeAPIServerOverride: \"${KUBE_APISERVER}\"|g" | \
kubectl apply -f -
```

#### Join Windows worker Nodes

The steps to join Windows worker Nodes are similar to the ones for the
containerd runtime, with the following differences:

1. OVS containerization is not supported, so OVS userspace processes need to be
run as Windows native services.
2. When running the `Prepare-Node.ps1` script, you will need to explicitly
specify that you are using the Docker container runtime. The script will then
take care of installing wins. For example:

```powershell
.\Prepare-Node.ps1 -KubernetesVersion v1.23.5 -NodeIP 192.168.1.10 -ContainerRuntime docker
```

If you want to install and use userspace kube-proxy on the Node (no longer
supported since K8s version 1.26), follow instructions in [Add Windows
kube-proxy DaemonSet (only for Kubernetes versions prior to 1.26)](#add-windows-kube-proxy-daemonset-only-for-kubernetes-versions-prior-to-126).

### Add Windows kube-proxy DaemonSet (only for Kubernetes versions prior to 1.26)

Starting from Kubernetes 1.26, Antrea no longer supports Windows kube-proxy
because the kube-proxy userspace mode has been removed, and the kernel
implementation does not work with Antrea. Clusters using recent K8s versions
will need to follow the normal [installation guide](#deploying-antrea-on-windows-worker-nodes)
and use AntreaProxy with `proxyAll` enabled.

For older K8s versions, you can use kube-proxy userspace mode by following the
instructions below.

#### Common steps

When running `Prepare-Node.ps1`, make sure that you set `InstallKubeProxy` to
true. For example:

```powershell
.\Prepare-Node.ps1 -KubernetesVersion v1.25.0 -InstallKubeProxy:$true -NodeIP 192.168.1.10
```

When running `Prepare-AntreaAgent.ps1`, make sure that you set
`InstallKubeProxy` to true. For example:

```powershell
.\Prepare-AntreaAgent.ps1 -InstallKubeProxy $true`
```

This will take care of preparing the network adapter for kube-proxy. kube-proxy
needs a network adapter to configure Kubernetes Services IPs and uses the
adapter for proxying connections to Services. The adapter will be deleted
automatically by Windows after the Windows Node reboots
(`Prepare-AntreaAgent.ps1` needs to run at every startup).

After that, you will need to deploy a Windows-compatible version of
kube-proxy. You can download `kube-proxy.yml` from the Kubernetes github
repository to deploy kube-proxy. The kube-proxy version in the YAML file must be
set to a Windows compatible version. The following command downloads
`kube-proxy.yml`:

```bash
curl -L "https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/sig-windows-tools/releases/download/v0.1.5/kube-proxy.yml" | sed 's/VERSION-nanoserver/v1.20.0/g' > kube-proxy.yml
```

Before applying the downloaded manifest, you will need to make some changes
(which depend on your container runtime).

#### For containerd

Replace the content of `run-script.ps1` in the `kube-proxy-windows` ConfigMap
with the following:

```yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
run-script.ps1: |-
$mountPath = $env:CONTAINER_SANDBOX_MOUNT_POINT
