Are the docs regarding Multi cluster deployment up to date? We completed all steps as instructed on EKS, however • flyteadmin became unhealthy, because the cluster-credentials secret is not being mounted correctly to

/var/run/credentials

in the

sync-cluster-resources

init container. • syncresources also became unhealthy, because the secret was not being mounted to the service at all (as far as we could tell) That being said, after solving both steps manually we eventually saw some life signs on our data plane cluster. However the

flytepropeller

service on the data plane cluster didn’t seem to be able to reconcile the workflow correctly, instead referencing a non existing flyteadmin service.

E0216 14:41:48.783203 1 workers.go:102] error syncing 'flytesnacks-development/f9f0589cf97c949c892f': Workflow[] failed. ErrorRecordingError: failed to publish event, caused by: EventSinkError: Error sending event, caused by [rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = connection error: desc = "transport: Error while dialing dial tcp: lookup flyteadmin on 10.100.0.10:53: no such host"]

Is there a full working example? What are we missing? Or would anyone from the community be up for an exchange, if you have succeeded to do the multi cluster setup? For final background: • We aim for the multi cluster setup for operational reasons, but mostly for data isolation. That way we can isolate customer data on a cluster and AWS account level.

You have to change flytepropeller config to connect to the right flyteadmin

That makes sense, do you have some documentation for what is available? I can’t find it in the

values.yaml

I’m using.

And what about the cluster-secret not being mounted correctly? Did we forget to configure something?

Hi @microscopic-school-54375! 1. You should be able to find the

admin

section in the

flytepropeller

configmap 2. Are you able to retrieve the secrets from the data plane clusters?

kubectl get secrets -n flyte | grep flyteadmin-token

Ok, I got it to work 💪. Would really be nice, if some things where documented in the official guide. I added the following

configmap:
  admin:
    admin:
      endpoint: flyte.<environment>.<http://kineo.ai:443|kineo.ai:443>

and mounted several secrets that were missing in the guide.

@microscopic-school-54375 Flyte does not have dynamic cluster management today. This is a huge body of work and not really required by most teams. Again we never really do this - but union cloud has support for dynamic cluster provisioning and management, also auto healing. Happy to dm

@microscopic-school-54375 the original message looks like an issue I had. I added

{{- with .Values.flyteadmin.additionalVolumeMounts -}}
          {{ tpl (toYaml .) $ | nindent 10 }}
          {{- end }}

to the

volumeMounts

section for both the

admin

and

clusterresourcesync

deployment specs

Kickass remark, thank you ❤️! This resolved our first issue with the admin not becoming healthy. However, for the

clusterresourcesync

deployment it seems that both the cluster-credentials and the flyte-admin-secrets are bound to the same

/var/run/credentials

. Isn’t that an issue?

Ah, right. Okay, so I forgot to mention I also included this in the

Volumes

section of the

clusterresourcesync

deployment spec. Obviously you need the

additionalVolumes

to be able to have the `additionalVolumeMounts`…

{{- with .Values.flyteadmin.additionalVolumes -}}
        {{ tpl (toYaml .) $ | nindent 8 }}
        {{- end }}

Regarding

/var/run/credentials

, I do think I ran into that problem too. I used

/etc

. Here is an example of the cluster config file I used.

flyteadmin:
  additionalVolumes:
  - name: cluster-credentials-1
    secret:
      secretName: cluster-credentials-1
  - name: cluster-credentials-2
    secret:
      secretName: cluster-credentials-2
  additionalVolumeMounts:
  - name: cluster-credentials-1
    mountPath: /etc/credentials_1/
  - name: cluster-credentials-2
    mountPath: /etc/credentials_2/
configmap:
  clusters:
   labelClusterMap:
     cluster_1:
     - id: cluster_1
       weight: 1
     cluster_2:
     - id: cluster_2
       weight: 1
   clusterConfigs:
   - name: "cluster_1"
     endpoint: ...
     enabled: true
     auth:
        type: "file_path"
        tokenPath: "/etc/credentials_1/token"
        certPath: "/etc/credentials_1/cacert"
   - name: "cluster_2"
     endpoint: ...
     enabled: true
     auth:
        type: "file_path"
        tokenPath: "/etc/credentials_2/token"
        certPath: "/etc/credentials_2/cacert"
