倍受关注的 Cilium Service Mesh 到底怎么玩？ 上手实践

Cilium 是一个基于 eBPF 技术，用于为容器工作负载间提供安全且具备可观测性的网络连接的开源软件。

最近 Cilium v1.11.0 正式发布了，增加 Open Telemetry 的支持以及其他一些增强特性。同时，也宣布了 Cilium Service Mesh 的计划。当前 Cilium Service Mesh 正处于测试阶段，预期在 2022 年会合并到 Cilium v1.12 版本中。

Cilium Service Mesh 也带来了一个全新的模式。

Cilium 直接通过 eBPF 技术实现的 Service Mesh 相比我们常规的 Istio/Linkerd 等方案，最显著的特点就是将 Sidecar proxy 模型替换成了 Kernel 模型， 如下图：

不再需要每个应用程序旁边都放置一个 Sidecar 了，直接在每台 Node 上提供支持。

我在几个月前就已经知道了这个消息并且进行了一些讨论，最近随着 isovalent 的一篇文章 How eBPF will solve Service Mesh - Goodbye Sidecars ，Cilium Service Mesh 也成为了大家关注的焦点。

本篇我带你实际体验下 Cilium Service Mesh。

安装部署

这里我使用 KIND 作为测试环境，我的内核版本是 5.15.8 。

准备 KIND 集群

关于 KIND 命令行工具的安装这里就不再赘述了，感兴趣的小伙伴可以参考我之前的文章 《使用KIND搭建自己的本地 Kubernetes 测试环境》。

以下是我创建集群使用的配置文件：

apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
kind: Cluster
nodes:
- role: control-plane
- role: worker
- role: worker
- role: worker
networking:
  disableDefaultCNI: true
复制代码

创建集群：

➜  cilium-mesh kind create cluster --config kind-config.yaml 
Creating cluster "kind" ...
 ✓ Ensuring node image (kindest/node:v1.22.4) 🖼
 ✓ Preparing nodes 📦 📦 📦 📦  
 ✓ Writing configuration 📜 
 ✓ Starting control-plane 🕹️ 
 ✓ Installing StorageClass 💾 
 ✓ Joining worker nodes 🚜 
Set kubectl context to "kind-kind"
You can now use your cluster with:

kubectl cluster-info --context kind-kind

安装 Cilium CLI

这里我们使用 Cilium CLI 工具进行 Cilium 的部署。

➜  cilium-mesh curl -L --remote-name-all https://github.com/cilium/cilium-cli/releases/latest/download/cilium-linux-amd64.tar.gz\{,.sha256sum\}

➜  cilium-mesh tar -zxvf cilium-linux-amd64.tar.gz 
cilium
复制代码

加载镜像

在部署 Cilium 的过程中需要一些镜像，我们可以提前下载后加载到 KIND 的 Node 节点中。如果你的网络比较顺畅， 那这一步可以跳过。

➜  cilium-mesh ciliumMeshImage=("quay.io/cilium/cilium-service-mesh:v1.11.0-beta.1" "quay.io/cilium/operator-generic-service-mesh:v1.11.0-beta.1" "quay.io/cilium/hubble-relay-service-mesh:v1.11.0-beta.1")
➜  cilium-mesh for i in ${ciliumMeshImage[@]}
do
  docker pull $i
  kind load docker-image $i
done
复制代码

部署 cilium

接下来我们直接使用 Cilium CLI 完成部署。注意这里的参数。

➜  cilium-mesh cilium install --version -service-mesh:v1.11.0-beta.1 --config enable-envoy-config=true --kube-proxy-replacement=probe --agent-image='quay.io/cilium/cilium-service-mesh:v1.11.0-beta.1' --operator-image='quay.io/cilium/operator-generic-service-mesh:v1.11.0-beta.1'  --datapath-mode=vxlan

查看状态

在安装成功后， 可以通过 cilium status命令来查看当前 Cilium 的部署情况。

➜  cilium-mesh cilium status
    /¯¯\
 /¯¯\__/¯¯\    Cilium:         OK
 \__/¯¯\__/    Operator:       OK
 /¯¯\__/¯¯\    Hubble:         disabled

启用 Hubble

Hubble 主要是用来提供可观测能力的。在启用它之前，需要先加载一个镜像，如果网络畅通可以跳过。

docker.io/envoyproxy/envoy:v1.18.2@sha256:e8b37c1d75787dd1e712ff389b0d37337dc8a174a63bed9c34ba73359dc67da7
复制代码

然后使用 Cilium CLI 开启 Hubble ：

➜  cilium-mesh cilium hubble enable --relay-image='quay.io/cilium/hubble-relay-service-mesh:v1.11.0-beta.1' --ui
🔑 Found CA in secret cilium-ca
