    The following new packages on AIX Open Source toolbox allows the use of AIX nodes as worker nodes in a Kubernetes cluster managed by IBM Cloud Private version 3.1.2. The packages provides a set of services to manage containers and network(s) on AIX nodes and a set of commands to create and manipulate container images on AIX. Containers on AIX are implemented using Workload Partitions (WPARs)

     

    calico-cni-3.3.1 

    calico-node-3.3.1 

    calicoctl-3.3.1 

    criwpar-0.2.0 

    icp-worker-3.1.2 

    kubectl-1.12.4 

    kubernetes-node-img-1.12.4

    kubelet-1.12.4    

    cloudctl-3.1.2.0

    helm-2.9.1 
     

    The packages can be downloaded from the following AIX Open Source toolbox link:

    https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/aix-toolbox

     

    A user guide has been attached below which provides instructions on getting started. The user guide captures details regarding pre-requisites, installation and configuration process along with details on toolkit usage for creating and deploying container images on AIX nodes.

     

    Please write in your feedback via comments to this thread or start a new thread with "K8s on AIX" as the subject. We will be eager to hear back from you.

     

    Thanks !

    I was able to join the AIX node to ICP after I manually created certificates for the node.

    Hi, This forum is migrated from an older platform (DeveloperWorks) to IBM community and looks like the user guide did not move.
    Also we are not doing any active development/support for K8s on AIX any more.

    Hi there,

    The article at https://techchannel.com/SMB/06/2019/kubernetes-management-aix may be of some help?

    It refers to "Figure 3" (Container image creation including a java installation) which doesn't seem to be included, but originally contained this code:

    # mkwpari -f - java8:1.0 << “EOF”
    FROM scratch
    ARG base=/opt/freeware
    ENV JAVA_HOME=$base/usr/java8_64/jre
    ENV PATH=/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/sbin:$base/usr/java8_64/jre/bin:$base/usr/java8_64/bin
    ADD Java8_64.jre.8.0.0.530.tar.gz Java8_64.sdk.8.0.0.530.tar.gz /tmp
    RUN mkdir -p /altopt/freeware \
    && crfs -v namefs -m $base -d /altopt/freeware -A yes \
    && mount $base \
    && installp_r -aXYg -R $base -d /tmp Java8_64.sdk \
    && rm -f /tmp/Java8_64.jre /tmp/Java8_64.sdk
    CMD [“/usr/bin/ksh”]
    EOF
     
    Regards,

    Clifford
