k3s-ops

name: k3s-ops description: Deploy VibeTeam services to k3s, scale worker nodes, and manage node naming (vibe-backend-vm, vibe-worker-0N, k3s-vmss-).

K3s Ops (Vibe)

Deploy (VibeTeam)

kubectl apply -k k8s/overlays/dev
# or
kubectl apply -k k8s/overlays/prod

Validate rollouts:

kubectl rollout status deployment/openhands-svc -n vibeteam --timeout=180s
kubectl get pods -n vibeteam

Scale Workers (Standalone VM)

Edit services/k3s/terraform/variables.tf:

• worker_count

Then apply:

cd services/k3s/terraform
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

Scale Workers (VMSS + Autoscaler)

Enable VMSS:

cd services/k3s/terraform
terraform apply -var 'enable_vmss=true'

Deploy autoscaler:

cd services/k3s/manifests
./setup-autoscaler.sh

Set bounds in services/k3s/terraform/variables.tf:

• vmss_min_count
• vmss_max_count

Node Naming (Correct Sources)

• Control-plane: vibe-backend-vm
• Standalone workers: vibe-worker-0N from node_name in cloud-init-worker.yaml and VM name in services/k3s/terraform/main.tf.
• VMSS workers: k3s-vmss-<suffix> from NODE_NAME in cloud-init-vmss.yaml.

Renaming is not in-place. To rename:

1. kubectl drain <old-node> --ignore-daemonsets --delete-emptydir-data
2. kubectl delete node <old-node>
3. Update naming source (Terraform node_name / cloud-init-vmss.yaml).
4. Recreate VM/VMSS instance (Terraform apply / VMSS roll).

If you need strict names like k3s-node-1..N, use standalone workers (static node_name). VMSS names are derived and should stay pattern-based.
