Installing Node Feature Discovery (NFD) Operator and Cert-Manager on Kubernetes

Complete the following steps to enable Node Feature Discovery 0.8.2 and Cert-Manager 1.6.1 on Kubernetes.

  1. Run the following command on the master node to install Cert-Manager:

    kubectl apply -f https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.6.1/cert-manager.yaml

  2. To verify whether the Cert-Manager is successfully installed, run the following command on the master node.

    kubectl get pods -A|grep cert-manager

    An output similar to the following indicates a successful installation.

    cert-manager cert-manager-
           86b4798576-pbmvv   1/1  Running 5 (11d ago) 24d
cert-manager cert-manager-
  cainjector-85656d565c-7qwkn 1/1  Running 4 (11d ago) 24d
cert-manager cert-manager-
  webhook-8665f985d6-npphv    1/1  Running 4 (11d ago) 24d
  3. Run the following commands on the master node to install Node Feature Discovery (NFD) Operator:

    kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-sigs/node-feature-discovery/v0.8.2/nfd-master.yaml.template

    kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-sigs/node-feature-discovery/v0.8.2/nfd-worker-daemonset.yaml.template

  4. To verify whether the installation is successful, run the following command on the master node.

    kubectl get pods -A|grep nfd

    An output similar to the following indicates a successful installation.

    node-feature-discovery nfd
      -master-fc6d6c869-m6vfv    1/1  Running 1 (19d ago) 24d
node-feature-discovery nfd
            -worker-gm8cz        1/1  Running 7 (11d ago) 24d
node-feature-discovery nfd
            -worker-nn5df        1/1  Running 5 (11d ago) 24d
node-feature-discovery nfd
            -worker-rdsfk        1/1  Running 5 (11d ago) 24d
node-feature-discovery nfd
            -worker-wvqnb        1/1  Running 5 (11d ago) 24d
