SmartX Inc. (“SmartX”), une start-up chinoise basée à Pékin, développe une plateforme d’infrastructure hyperconvergée conçue pour aider les entreprises à adopter des systèmes en nuage.

La plate-forme d’infrastructure de l’entreprise est une architecture informatique centrée sur le logiciel qui virtualise et intègre tous les éléments des systèmes conventionnels définis par le matériel, y compris l’informatique, le stockage et la mise e n réseau, ce qui permet aux entreprises de passer rapidement et efficacement des systèmes existants aux systèmes en nuage :

- [SmartX Hyperconverged Solution](https://www.smartx.com/global/)
- [SmartX Community Edition - SmartX HCI](https://www.smartx.com/global/community/)

SmartX propose en Open Source sur GitHub, **Virtink** qui est un add-on Kubernetes pour l’exécution de machines virtuelles avec **Cloud Hypervisor**. Cloud Hypervisor est un moniteur de machine virtuelle (VMM) open source qui fonctionne au-dessus de l’hyperviseur KVM et de l’hyperviseur Microsoft (MSHV).

![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*tY0BJGcJGkTvvHPs.png)

> Le projet se concentre sur l’exécution de charges de travail en nuage modernes sur des architectures matérielles spécifiques et communes. Dans ce cas, les charges de travail en nuage sont celles qui sont exécutées par les clients au sein d’un fournisseur de services en nuage. Cela signifie des systèmes d’exploitation modernes avec la plupart des E/S gérées par des dispositifs paravirtualisés (par exemple virtIO), aucune exigence pour les dispositifs existants et des CPU 64 bits.

**Cloud Hypervisor** est implémenté en Rust et est basé sur les crates Rust VMM.

- [Run Cloud Virtual Machines Securely and Efficiently](https://www.cloudhypervisor.org/)
- [GitHub - cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor: A Virtual Machine Monitor for modern Cloud workloads. Features include CPU, memory and device hotplug, support for running Windows and Linux guests, device offload with vhost-user and a minimal compact footprint. Written in Rust with a strong focus on security.](https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor)

En utilisant Cloud Hypervisor comme hyperviseur sous-jacent, **Virtink** permet un moyen léger et sécurisé d’exécuter des charges de travail entièrement virtualisées dans un cluster Kubernetes.

**Par rapport à KubeVirt, Virtink :**

- N’utilise pas libvirt ou QEMU. En s’appuyant sur Cloud Hypervisor, les VMs ont une empreinte mémoire plus faible (≈30MB), des performances plus élevées et une surface d’attaque plus petite.
- Ne nécessite pas de processus de lancement par pod à longue durée d’exécution, ce qui réduit encore l’empreinte mémoire d’exécution (≈80MB).

[Virtink: A Lightweight Virtualization Add-on for Kubernetes](https://www.smartx.com/blog/2022/07/virtink-for-k8s-en/)

Virtink, qui est l’abréviation de “Virtualisation dans Kubernetes”, fournit un moyen simple de construire des images VM aussi facilement et rapidement que docker build et peut fonctionner sur des machines x86 et ARM.

Avant de tester, comme le décrit le projet sur GitHub, quelques conditions doivent être remplies avant de pouvoir commencer à utiliser Virtink :

[GitHub - smartxworks/virtink: Lightweight Virtualization Add-on for Kubernetes](https://github.com/smartxworks/virtink)

- Kubernetes cluster en version v1.16 ~ v1.24
- Kubernetes doit avoir **_ — allow-privileged=true_** afin d’exécuter le DaemonSet privilégié de Virtink. Il est généralement défini par défaut.
- cert-manager v1.0 ~ v1.8 doit être installé dans le cluster Kubernetes. Vous pouvez l’installer avec **_kubectl apply -f_** [**_https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.8.2/cert-manager.yaml_**](https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.8.2/cert-manager.yaml)
- Virtink prend actuellement en charge les runtimes de conteneurs suivants : Docker, Containerd. D’autres runtimes de conteneurs, qui n’utilisent pas de fonctionnalités de virtualisation, devraient également fonctionner. Cependant, ils ne sont pas testés officiellement.
- Un matériel prenant en charge la virtualisation est nécessaire. Vous devez vérifier si /dev/kvm existe sur chaque nœud Kubernetes.
- Version du noyau de l’hôte Linux minimum : v4.11  
Recommandée : v5.6 ou supérieure

Lancement d’un cluster K3s à 3 instances avec Ubuntu Server dans DigitalOcean qui autorise la virtualisation imbriquée :

Elles sont normalement accessibles en SSH depuis les noeuds du Cluster. Je récupère leurs adresses IP respectives pour cela :

```bash
$ kubectl get pod vm-k3s-01-bgg45 -o jsonpath='{.status.podIP}'  ✔ 
10.42.2.6    
$ kubectl get pod vm-k3s-02-qh7c8 -o jsonpath='{.status.podIP}'  ✔ 
10.42.0.7    
$ kubectl get pod vm-k3s-03-22px2 -o jsonpath='{.status.podIP}'
10.42.1.9
```

Le moyen le plus simple d’accéder à la VM est d’utiliser un client SSH à l’intérieur du cluster, ce qui donne depuis le noeud maître :

```bash

Ce cluster k3s imbriqué dans ces trois machines virtuelles au sein du cluster k3s dans DigitalOcean est accessible et opérationnel …

Virtink est particulièrement bien adapté à l’exécution de clusters Kubernetes entièrement isolés dans un cluster Kubernetes existant et notamment au travers de son outil knest :

[GitHub - smartxworks/knest: Kubernetes-in-Kubernetes Made Simple](https://github.com/smartxworks/knest)

Il faut avoir son client **_kubectl_** et **_clusterctl_** installés pour le tester :

- [The Cluster API Book](https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/user/quick-start.html#install-clusterctl)
- [Releases · smartxworks/knest](https://github.com/smartxworks/knest/releases)

```bash
$ knest create quickstart

Your cluster "quickstart" is now accessible with the kubeconfig file "~/.kube/knest.quickstart.kubeconfig"                                         
                      
$ kubectl --kubeconfig ~/.kube/knest.quickstart.kubeconfig get pods -n kube-system

$ knest delete quickstart

```

Et pour mettre à l’échelle le cluster kubernetes imbriqué :

```bash
$ knest scale quickstart 3:3

=> CONTROL_PLANE_MACHINE_COUNT:WORKER_MACHINE_COUNT
```

> Comme le précise le projet sur GitHub, actuellement, Calico et Cilium sont les deux seuls plugins CNI recommandés pour les clusters imbriqués, en raison du nombre limité de modules de noyau inclus dans l’image. Le réseau sous-jacent et les pare-feu doivent autoriser les paquets encapsulés.

Il est également possible de connecter des VM à des réseaux secondaires à l’aide de Multus CNI. Cela suppose que Multus CNI est installé dans votre cluster et qu’un CRD NetworkAttachmentDefinition correspondant a été créé.

L’exemple suivant définit un réseau qui utilise le plugin Open vSwitch CNI, qui connectera la VM au pont br1 d’Open vSwitch sur l’hôte. D’autres plugins CNI tels que bridge ou macvlan peuvent également être utilisés.

En conclusion, construit sur le projet de Cloud Hypervisor , Virtink est de fait un moteur de virtualisation open-source optimisé pour l’orchestration de machines virtuelles légères dans Kubernetes. Un outil en ligne de commande **_knest_** est également fourni permettant aux utilisateurs de créer et de gérer des clusters d’un simple clic, réduisant ainsi le coût global de plusieurs clusters notamment dans un scénario multi-tenants …

- [Multi-Tenancy in Kubernetes: Implementation and Optimization](https://www.smartx.com/blog/2022/10/k8s-multi-tenancy-en/)
- [Virtink demo](https://asciinema.org/a/509484)

Avec cette feuille de route pour **_Virtink_** qui est quasiment atteinte :

- Gestion du cycle de vie des VM
- Disques de conteneur
- Démarrage direct du noyau avec les rootfs des conteneurs
- Réseau de pods
- Réseaux CNI multiples
- Volumes persistants
- Volumes de données CDI
- Support ARM64
- Migration en direct des VM
- Passage de NIC SR-IOV
- Passthrough GPU
- Placement de processeurs dédiés
- Connexion à chaud des périphériques VM
