Important notes
- This is tutorial shows only how to use terraform with the Oracle Cloud infrastructure and use only the always free resources. This examples are not for a production environment.
- At the end of your trial period (30 days). All the paid resources deployed will be stopped/terminated
- At the end of your trial period (30 days), if you have a running compute instance it will be stopped/hibernated
Requirements
To use this tutorial you will need:
- an Oracle Cloud account. You can register here
Once you get the account, follow the Before you begin and 1. Prepare step in this document.
you need also:
- Terraform - Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code software tool that provides a consistent CLI workflow to manage hundreds of cloud services. Terraform codifies cloud APIs into declarative configuration files.
- kubectl - The Kubernetes command-line tool (optional)
- oci cli - Oracle command line interface (optional)
Example RSA key generation
To use terraform with the Oracle Cloud infrastructure you need to generate an RSA key. Generate the rsa key with:
openssl genrsa -out ~/.oci/<your_name>-oracle-cloud.pem 4096
chmod 600 ~/.oci/<your_name>-oracle-cloud.pem
openssl rsa -pubout -in ~/.oci/<your_name>-oracle-cloud.pem -out ~/.oci/<your_name>-oracle-cloud_public.pem
replace *
NOTE ~/.oci/
Project setup
You can clone this repository and work in the example/ directory. You have to edit the main.tf file and you have to create the terraform.tfvars file. For more detail see Oracle provider setup and Pre flight checklist.
Or if you prefer you can create an new empty directory in your workspace and create this three files:
- terraform.tfvars - More details in Oracle provider setup
- main.tf
- provider.tf
The main.tf file will look like:
variable "compartment_ocid" {
}
variable "tenancy_ocid" {
}
variable "user_ocid" {
}
variable "fingerprint" {
}
variable "private_key_path" {
}
variable "region" {
default = "<change_me>"
}
module "k3s_cluster" {
region = var.region
availability_domain = "<change_me>"
compartment_ocid = var.compartment_ocid
my_public_ip_cidr = "<change_me>"
cluster_name = "<change_me>"
environment = "staging"
k3s_token = "<change_me>"
source = "github.com/garutilorenzo/k3s-oci-cluster"
}
output "k3s_servers_ips" {
value = module.k3s_cluster.k3s_servers_ips
}
output "k3s_workers_ips" {
value = module.k3s_cluster.k3s_workers_ips
}
output "public_lb_ip" {
value = module.k3s_cluster.public_lb_ip
}
For all the possible variables see Pre flight checklist
The provider.tf will look like:
provider "oci" {
tenancy_ocid = var.tenancy_ocid
user_ocid = var.user_ocid
private_key_path = var.private_key_path
fingerprint = var.fingerprint
region = var.region
}
Now we can init terraform with:
terraform init
terraform init

Downloading git::https://github.com/garutilorenzo/k3s-oci-cluster.git for k3s_cluster...
- k3s_cluster in .terraform/modules/k3s_cluster
Initializing the backend...
Initializing provider plugins...
- Reusing previous version of hashicorp/oci from the dependency lock file
- Reusing previous version of hashicorp/template from the dependency lock file
- Using previously-installed hashicorp/template v2.2.0
- Using previously-installed hashicorp/oci v4.64.0
Terraform has been successfully initialized!
You may now begin working with Terraform. Try running "terraform plan" to see
any changes that are required for your infrastructure. All Terraform commands
should now work.
If you ever set or change modules or backend configuration for Terraform,
rerun this command to reinitialize your working directory. If you forget, other
commands will detect it and remind you to do so if necessary.
Generate sel signed SSL certificate for the public LB (L7)
NOTE If you already own a valid certificate skip this step and set the correct values for the variables: PATH_TO_PUBLIC_LB_CERT and PATH_TO_PUBLIC_LB_KEY
We need to generate the certificates (sel signed) for our public load balancer (Layer 7). To do this we need openssl, open a terminal and follow this step:
Generate the key:
openssl genrsa 2048 > privatekey.pem
Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus (2 primes)
.......+++++
...............+++++
e is 65537 (0x010001)
Generate the a new certificate request:
openssl req -new -key privatekey.pem -out csr.pem
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:IT
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:Italy
Locality Name (eg, city) []:Brescia
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:GL Ltd
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:IT
Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:testlb.domainexample.com
Email Address []:email@you.com
Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:
An optional company name []:
Generate the public CRT:
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in csr.pem -signkey privatekey.pem -out public.crt
Signature ok
subject=C = IT, ST = Italy, L = Brescia, O = GL Ltd, OU = IT, CN = testlb.domainexample.com, emailAddress = email@you.com
Getting Private key
This is the final result:
ls
csr.pem privatekey.pem public.crt
Now set the variables:
- PATH_TO_PUBLIC_LB_CERT: ~/full_path/public.crt
- PATH_TO_PUBLIC_LB_KEY: ~/full_path/privatekey.pem
Oracle provider setup
This is an example of the terraform.tfvars file:
fingerprint = "<rsa_key_fingerprint>"
private_key_path = "~/.oci/<your_name>-oracle-cloud_public.pem"
user_ocid = "<user_ocid>"
tenancy_ocid = "<tenency_ocid>"
compartment_ocid = "<compartment_ocid>"
To find your tenency_ocid in the Ocacle Cloud console go to: Governance and Administration > Tenency details, then copy the OCID.
To find you user_ocid in the Ocacle Cloud console go to User setting (click on the icon in the top right corner, then click on User settings), click your username and then copy the OCID
The compartment_ocid is the same as tenency_ocid.
The fingerprint is the fingerprint of your RSA key, you can find this vale under User setting > API Keys

How to find the availability doamin name
To find the list of the availability domains run this command on che Cloud Shell:
oci iam availability-domain list
{
"data": [
{
"compartment-id": "<compartment_ocid>",
"id": "ocid1.availabilitydomain.oc1..xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"name": "iAdc:EU-ZURICH-1-AD-1"
}
]
}
How to list all the OS images
To filter the OS images by shape and OS run this command on che Cloud Shell:
oci compute image list --compartment-id <compartment_ocid> --operating-system "Canonical Ubuntu" --shape "VM.Standard.A1.Flex"
{
"data": [
{
"agent-features": null,
"base-image-id": null,
"billable-size-in-gbs": 2,
"compartment-id": null,
"create-image-allowed": true,
"defined-tags": {},
"display-name": "Canonical-Ubuntu-20.04-aarch64-2022.01.18-0",

"size-in-mbs": 47694,
"time-created": "2022-01-27T22:53:34.270000+00:00"
},
Note: this setup was only tested with Ubuntu 20.04
Notes about OCI always free resources
In order to get the maximum resources available within the oracle always free tier, the max amount of the k3s servers and k3s workers must be 2. So the max value for k3s_server_pool_size and k3s_worker_pool_size is 2.
In this setup we use two LB, one internal LB and one public LB (Layer 7). In order to use two LB using the always free resources, one lb must be a network load balancer an the other must be a load balancer. The public LB must use the flexible shape (public_lb_shape variable).
Notes about K3s
In this environment the High Availability of the K3s cluster is provided using the Embedded DB. More details here
The default installation of K3s install Traefik as ingress the controller. In this environment Traefik is replaced by Nginx ingress controller. To install Traefik as the ingress controller set the variable install_nginx_ingress to false. For more details on Nginx ingress controller see the Nginx ingress controller section.
Infrastructure overview
The final infrastructure will be made by:
- two instance pool:
- one instance pool for the server nodes named “k3s-servers”
- one instance pool for the worker nodes named “k3s-workers”
- one internal load balancer that will route traffic to K3s servers
- one external load balancer that will route traffic to K3s workers
The other resources created by terraform are:
- two instance configurations (one for the servers and one for the workers) used by the instance pools
- one vcn
- two public subnets
- two security list
- one dynamic group
- one identity policy
Cluster resource deployed
This setup will automatically install longhorn. Longhorn is a Cloud native distributed block storage for Kubernetes. To disable the longhorn deployment set install_longhorn variable to false
Nginx ingress controller
In this environment Nginx ingress controller is used instead of the standard Traefik ingress controller.
The installation is the bare metal installation, the ingress controller then is exposed via a LoadBalancer Service.

Deploy
We are now ready to deploy our infrastructure. First we ask terraform to plan the execution with:
terraform plan
...
...
+ id = (known after apply)
+ ip_addresses = (known after apply)
+ is_preserve_source_destination = false
+ is_private = true
+ lifecycle_details = (known after apply)
+ nlb_ip_version = (known after apply)
+ state = (known after apply)
+ subnet_id = (known after apply)
+ system_tags = (known after apply)
+ time_created = (known after apply)
+ time_updated = (known after apply)
+ reserved_ips {
+ id = (known after apply)
}
}
Plan: 27 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
Changes to Outputs:
+ k3s_servers_ips = [
+ (known after apply),
+ (known after apply),
]
+ k3s_workers_ips = [
+ (known after apply),
+ (known after apply),
]
+ public_lb_ip = (known after apply)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Note: You didn't use the -out option to save this plan, so Terraform can't guarantee to take exactly these actions if you run "terraform apply" now.
now we can deploy our resources with:
terraform apply
...
...
+ is_preserve_source_destination = false
+ is_private = true
+ lifecycle_details = (known after apply)
+ nlb_ip_version = (known after apply)
+ state = (known after apply)
+ subnet_id = (known after apply)
+ system_tags = (known after apply)
+ time_created = (known after apply)
+ time_updated = (known after apply)
+ reserved_ips {
+ id = (known after apply)
}
}
Plan: 27 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
Changes to Outputs:
+ k3s_servers_ips = [
+ (known after apply),
+ (known after apply),
]
+ k3s_workers_ips = [
+ (known after apply),
+ (known after apply),
]
+ public_lb_ip = (known after apply)
Do you want to perform these actions?
Terraform will perform the actions described above.
Only 'yes' will be accepted to approve.
Enter a value: yes
...

Deploy a sample stack
Finally to test all the components of the cluster we can deploy a sample stack. The stack is composed by the following components:
- MariaDB
- Nginx
- Wordpress
Each component is made by: one deployment and one service. Wordpress and nginx share the same persistent volume (ReadWriteMany with longhorn storage class). The nginx configuration is stored in four ConfigMaps and the nginx service is exposed by the nginx ingress controller.
Deploy the resources with:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garutilorenzo/k3s-oci-cluster/master/deployments/mariadb/all-resources.yml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garutilorenzo/k3s-oci-cluster/master/deployments/nginx/all-resources.yml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garutilorenzo/k3s-oci-cluster/master/deployments/wordpress/all-resources.yml
and check the status:
kubectl get deployments
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
mariadb 1/1 1 1 92m
nginx 1/1 1 1 79m
wordpress 1/1 1 1 91m
kubectl get svc
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
kubernetes ClusterIP 10.43.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 5h8m
mariadb-svc ClusterIP 10.43.184.188 <none> 3306/TCP 92m
nginx-svc ClusterIP 10.43.9.202 <none> 80/TCP 80m
wordpress-svc ClusterIP 10.43.242.26 <none> 9000/TCP 91m
Now you are ready to setup WP, open the LB public ip and follow the wizard. NOTE nginx and the Kubernetes Ingress rule are configured without virthual host/server name.
To clean the deployed resources:
kubectl delete -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garutilorenzo/k3s-oci-cluster/master/deployments/mariadb/all-resources.yml
kubectl delete -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garutilorenzo/k3s-oci-cluster/master/deployments/nginx/all-resources.yml
kubectl delete -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garutilorenzo/k3s-oci-cluster/master/deployments/wordpress/all-resources.yml
