The software described in this documentation is either no longer supported or is in extended support.
Oracle recommends that you upgrade to a current supported release.
The master node is responsible for cluster management and for providing the API that is used to configure and manage resources within the Kubernetes cluster. Kubernetes master node components can be run within Kubernetes itself, as a set of containers within a dedicated pod. These components can be replicated to provide high availability (HA) Master Node functionality.
The following components are required for a master node:
API Server (kube-apiserver): The Kubernetes REST API is exposed by the API Server. This component processes and validates operations and then updates information in the Cluster State Store to trigger operations on the worker nodes. The API is also the gateway to the cluster.
Cluster State Store (etcd): Configuration data relating to the cluster state is stored in the Cluster State Store, which can roll out changes to the coordinating components like the Controller Manager and the Scheduler. It is essential to have a backup plan in place for the data stored in this component of your cluster.
Cluster Controller Manager (kube-controller-manager): This manager is used to perform many of the cluster-level functions, as well as application management, based on input from the Cluster State Store and the API Server.
Scheduler (kube-scheduler): The Scheduler handles automatically determining where containers should be run by monitoring availability of resources, quality of service and affinity and anti-affinity specifications.
The master node is also usually configured as a worker node within the cluster. Therefore, the master node also runs the standard node services: the kubelet service, the container runtime and the kube proxy service. Note that it is possible to taint a node to prevent workloads from running on an inappropriate node. The kubeadm utility automatically taints the master node so that no other workloads or containers can run on this node. This helps to ensure that the master node is never placed under any unnecessary load and that backup and restore of the master node for the cluster is simplified.
If the master node becomes unavailable for a period, cluster functionality is suspended, but the worker nodes continue to run container applications without interruption.
For single node clusters, when the master node is offline, the API is unavailable, so the environment is unable to respond to node failures and there is no way to perform new operations like creating new resources or editing or moving existing resources.
A high availability cluster with multiple master nodes ensures that more requests for master node functionality can be handled, and with the assistance of master replica nodes, uptime is significantly improved.
