# Antrea Multi-cluster Quick Start

In this quick start guide, we will set up a Antrea Multi-cluster ClusterSet with
two clusters. One cluster will serve as both the leader and a member cluster,
while another cluster will be a member only. The diagram belows shows the two
clusters and the ClusterSet to be created.

## Preparation

We assume a Antrea version >= v1.7.0 is used in this guide, and the Antrea
version is set to an environment variable `TAG`. For example, the following
command sets the Antrea version to v1.7.0.

```bash
export TAG=v1.7.0
```

To use the latest version of Antrea Multi-cluster from the Antrea main branch,
you can change the YAML manifest path to: https://github.com/antrea-io/antrea/tree/main/multicluster/build/yamls/.

Antrea must be deployed in both cluster A and cluster B. To configure Antrea
Multi-cluster Gateways, `antrea-agent` must be deployed with the `Multicluster`
feature enabled in both cluster A and B. Multi-cluster Gateways are required for
routing multi-cluster Service traffic through tunnels across the member
clusters. Set the following options in `antrea-agent.conf` of the Antrea
deployment manifest to enable the `Multicluster` feature:

```yaml
antrea-agent.conf: |
...
featureGates:
...
Multicluster: true
...
multicluster:
enable: true
namespace: ""
```

## Set up Leader and Member in Cluster A

### Step 1 - deploy Antrea Multi-cluster Controllers for leader and member

Run the following commands to deploy Multi-cluster Controller for the leader
into Namespace `antrea-multicluster` (Namespace `antrea-multicluster` will be
created by the commands), and Multi-cluster Controller for the member into
Namepsace `kube-system`.

```bash
$kubectl apply -f https://github.com/antrea-io/antrea/releases/download/$TAG/antrea-multicluster-leader-global.yml
$kubectl create ns antrea-multicluster
$curl -L https://github.com/antrea-io/antrea/releases/download/$TAG/antrea-multicluster-leader-namespaced.yml > antrea-multicluster-leader-namespaced.yml
$sed 's/changeme/antrea-multicluster/g' antrea-multicluster-leader-namespaced.yml | kubectl apply -f -
$kubectl apply -f https://github.com/antrea-io/antrea/releases/download/$TAG/antrea-multicluster-member.yml
```

### Step 2 - initialize ClusterSet

We provide several template files to set up a ClusterSet quicker. You can run
the following commands to create a ClusterSet named `test-clusterset` and obtain
a ServiceAccount token for the member clusters (both cluster A and B in this
guide) to access the leader cluster (cluster A in this guide).

```bash
$kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antrea-io/antrea/$TAG/multicluster/config/samples/clusterset_init/multicluster_clusterset_template.yaml
$kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antrea-io/antrea/$TAG/multicluster/config/samples/clusterset_init/multicluster_leader_access_token_template.yaml
$kubectl get secret leader-access-token -n antrea-multicluster -o yaml | grep -w -e '^apiVersion' -e '^data' -e '^metadata' -e '^ *name:' -e '^kind' -e ' ca.crt' -e ' token:' -e '^type' -e ' namespace' | sed -e 's/kubernetes.io\/service-account-token/Opaque/g' -e 's/antrea-multicluster/kube-system/g' > leader-access-token.yml
```

The last command saves the ServiceAccount token to `leader-access-token.yml`
which will be needed for member clusters to join the ClusterSet. Note, in this
guide, we use a pre-defined ServiceAccount `antrea-mc-member-access-sa` for all
member clusters. If you want to create a separate ServiceAccount for each member
cluster for security considerations, you can follow the instructions in the
[Multi-cluster User Guide](user-guide.md#set-up-access-to-leader-cluster).

Next, run the following commands to make cluster A join the ClusterSet also as a
member:

```bash
$kubectl apply -f leader-access-token.yml
$curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antrea-io/antrea/v1.7.0/multicluster/config/samples/clusterset_init/multicluster_membercluster_template.yaml > multicluster_membercluster.yaml
$sed -e 's/test-cluster-member/test-cluster-leader/g' -e 's/<LEADER_CLUSTER_IP>/172.10.0.11/g' multicluster_membercluster.yaml | kubectl apply -f -
```

Here, `172.10.0.11` is the `kube-apiserver` IP of cluster A. You should replace
it with the `kube-apiserver` IP of your leader cluster.

### Step 3 - specify Multi-cluster Gateway Node

Last, you need to choose a Node in cluster A to serve as the Multi-cluster
Gateway. The Node should have an IP that is reachable from the cluster B's
Gateway Node, so a tunnel can be created between the two Gateways. For more
information about Multi-cluster Gatweay, please refer to the [Multi-cluster
User Guide](user-guide.md#multi-cluster-gateway-configuration).

Assuming K8s Node `node-a` is chosen to be the Multi-cluster Gateway, run
the following command to annotate the Node with
`multicluster.antrea.io/gateway=true` (so `antrea-agent` can know it is the
Gateway Node from the annotation):

```bash
$kubectl annotate node node-a multicluster.antrea.io/gateway=true
```

## Set up Cluster B

Let us switch to cluster B. All the `kubectl` commands in the following steps
should be run with the `kubeconfig` for cluster B.

### Step 1 - deploy Antrea Multi-cluster Controllers for member

Run the following command to deploy the member Antrea Multi-cluster Controller
into Namespace `kube-system`.

```bash
$kubectl apply -f https://github.com/antrea-io/antrea/releases/download/$TAG/antrea-multicluster-member.yml
```

### Step 2 - initialize ClusterSet

Run the following commands to make cluster B join the ClusterSet:

```bash
$kubectl apply -f leader-access-token.yml
$curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antrea-io/antrea/$TAG/multicluster/config/samples/clusterset_init/multicluster_membercluster_template.yaml > multicluster_membercluster.yaml
$sed -e 's/<LEADER_CLUSTER_IP>/172.10.0.11/g' multicluster_membercluster.yaml | kubectl apply -f -
```

`leader-access-token.yml` saves the leader cluster ServiceAccount token which
was generated when initializing the ClusterSet in cluster A.

### Step 3 - specify Multi-cluster Gateway Node

Assuming K8s Node `node-b` is chosen to be the Multi-cluster Gateway for cluster
B, run the following command to annotate the Node:

```bash
$kubectl annotate node node-b multicluster.antrea.io/gateway=true
```

## What is Next

So far, we set up a Antrea Multi-cluster ClusterSet with two clusters following
the above sections of this guide. Next, you can start to consume the Antrea
Multi-cluster features with the ClusterSet, including [Multi-cluster Services](user-guide.md#multi-cluster-service)
and [Multi-cluster ClusterNetworkPolicy Replication](user-guide.md#multi-cluster-clusternetworkpolicy-replication).
Check the relevant Antrea Multi-cluster User Guide sections to learn more.

If you want to add a new member cluster to your ClusterSet, you can follow the
steps for cluster B to do so. But note, you will need the following two changes:

1. You need to add the new mumber cluster to the ClusterSet in the leader
cluster (cluster A). You can do that by adding the cluster ID of the new member
to `multicluster_clusterset_template.yaml` and re-applying the manifest in
cluster A.

2. You need to update the member cluster ID in
`multicluster_membercluster_template.yaml` to the cluster ID of the new member
cluster. For example, in the step 2 of initialize ClusterSet, you can change the
commands to the following (assuming the new member cluster ID is
`test-cluster-member2`):

```bash
$kubectl apply -f leader-access-token.yml
$curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antrea-io/antrea/$TAG/multicluster/config/samples/clusterset_init/multicluster_membercluster_template.yaml > multicluster_membercluster.yaml
$sed -e 's/<LEADER_CLUSTER_IP>/172.10.0.11/g' -e 's/test-cluster-member/test-cluster-member2/g' multicluster_membercluster.yaml | kubectl apply -f -
```
