Do you have plans to make kops support Aliyun? We plan to carry out the relevant work, do you have any suggestions? @justinsb

You should probably coordinate

[geojaz]

@LilyFaFa I'm going to be talking about this during office hours tomorrow 9 california time. If you'd like to join and talk about plans to coordinate, we would love to have you. https://github.com/kubernetes/kops#office-hours

[Lily922]

@geojaz Thank you for your invitation, my partners and Ali engineers will attend the meeting.

@LilyFaFa Could you cc your team here so we can organize the Aliyun implementation?

Hi @geojaz ,
We're currently reading the kops codes, now this seems really large for two or three weeks' development.
We plan to follow the process like DO does #2150 , to implement AliCloud as cloud provider.

Here are some raw ideas:

1. DNS Provider seems does the job for end-users to access clusters, not compulsory. The gossip-based thing should do the work for node to discover masters. So we can skip the implementation of dns provider.
2. We plan to port state store to AliCloud's OSS(object store) as an alternative option.

Could you please provide some suggestions? Do we miss anything? Or, do you have a detailed roadmap for us to organize our work?

Big thanks!

Hey, I would like to deploy a k8s cluster on Alibaba cloud. Is there a chance that I can use Kops currently or should I use another tool (I would appreciate if you could give me some hints on this part)? I don't want to use a managed k8s cluster. Thank you!

[bittopaz]

@Ethyling you can read the doc change in #8275, hope it can help

[jjacobelli]

@bittopaz Ty, do you have any ETA regarding this issue?

[bittopaz]

@Ethyling nope. But I’m already running production clusters with kops in Alicloud. I’ll keep improving features related with Alicloud.

As mentioned in the kOps 1.20 release notes, Aliyun/Alicloud support is being deprecated:

Due to lack of maintainers, the Aliyun/Alibaba Cloud support has been deprecated. The current implementation will be left as-is until the implementation needs updates or otherwise becomes incompatible. At that point, it will be removed. We very much welcome anyone willing to contribute to this cloud provider.

If anyone is interested in contributing, please contact the maintainers in the #kops-dev Slack channel.

@bittopaz do you have any thoughts on what the effort would be to move this forward, in case anyone wants to give it a try?

[bittopaz]

@hakman Thank you for following this up.

There is a task list that I came out with when I tried to develop Alicloud provider in this #4127 (comment).

Also, if anyone would like to pick it up, he/she can use this PR #8275 as a reference for setting up development.

If anyone is interested in contributing, I'd be more than glad to transfer my knowledge to him/her.
