# Frakti

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/kubernetes/frakti.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/kubernetes/frakti) [![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/kubernetes/frakti)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/kubernetes/frakti)

## The hypervisor-based container runtime for Kubernetes

Frakti lets Kubernetes run pods and containers directly inside hypervisors via [runV](https://github.com/hyperhq/runv). It is light weighted and portable, but can provide much stronger isolation with independent kernel than linux-namespace-based container runtimes.

Frakti serves as a CRI container runtime server. Its endpoint should be configured while starting kubelet. In the deployment, [hyperd](https://github.com/hyperhq/hyperd) is also required as the API wrapper of runV.

## QuickStart

Build frakti:

```sh
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/k8s.io
git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/frakti.git $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/frakti
cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/frakti
make && make install
```

Install docker and hyperd:

```sh
apt-get install qemu libvirt0 docker.io -y
curl -sSL https://hypercontainer.io/install | bash
```

Configure hyperd with gRPC endpoint `127.0.0.1:22318`:

```sh
cat >/etc/hyper/config </etc/cni/net.d/10-mynet.conflist <<-EOF
{
"cniVersion": "0.3.1",
"name": "mynet",
"plugins": [
{
"type": "bridge",
"bridge": "cni0",
"isGateway": true,
"ipMasq": true,
"ipam": {
"type": "host-local",
"subnet": "10.30.0.0/16",
"routes": [
{ "dst": "0.0.0.0/0" }
]
}
},
{
"type": "portmap",
"capabilities": {"portMappings": true},
"snat": true
}
]
}
EOF'
$ sudo sh -c 'cat >/etc/cni/net.d/99-loopback.conf <<-EOF
{
"cniVersion": "0.3.1",
"type": "loopback"
}
EOF'
```

Then start frakti:

```sh
frakti --v=3 --logtostderr --listen=/var/run/frakti.sock --hyper-endpoint=127.0.0.1:22318 &
```

Finally, start kubernetes with frakti runtime:

```sh
cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
hack/install-etcd.sh
export PATH=$GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes/third_party/etcd:${PATH}
export KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=local
export CONTAINER_RUNTIME=remote
export CONTAINER_RUNTIME_ENDPOINT=/var/run/frakti.sock
hack/local-up-cluster.sh
```

To start using the cluster, open up another terminal and run:

```sh
cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
export KUBECONFIG=/var/run/kubernetes/admin.kubeconfig
cluster/kubectl.sh
```

## The differences between `frakti` with other Linux container runtimes

- Better Security and Isolation
- frakti provides hardware virtualization based Pod sandbox for Kubernetes.
- No Kernel Sharing
- Every Pod in frakti has its own kernel (Bring Your Own Kernel), LinuxKit image support is on the way
- Match k8s QoS Classes.
- frakti is best to run Pod with `resources.limits` being set (i.e. all Guaranteed and most Burstable Pods), otherwise, frakti will set default resource limit for Pod.
- This behavior is configurable by `--defaultCPUNum` and `--defaultMemoryMB` of frakti
- Mixed Runtimes Mode.
- frakti support mixed runtimes on the same Node (runV and Docker). We recommend user to run `BestEffort` Pods, daemon Pods in Docker runtime by adding `runtime.frakti.alpha.kubernetes.io/OSContainer` annotation to them.
- Additionally, special cases like privileged Pods, host network Pods etc will be automatically run in Docker runtime.
- Persistent Volume
- All k8s PVs are supported in frakti.
- **Block device as volume directly**: in this way, frakti will mount block device directly to VM based Pod, which gives you better performance than first approach, now we support:
- Cinder RBD: [Stackube](https://github.com/openstack/stackube) for an example (k8s + frakti + Cinder + Keystone + Neutron).
- GCE Persistent Disk
- Cross-host Networking
- frakti is fully based on CNI (bridge mode only for now), so there's no big difference here.
- Network plug-ins like `Flannel` & `Calico` can work out-of-box with `frakti` based Kubernetes.

Besides the lists above, all behaviors of frakti are 100% the same with other Linux container runtimes like Docker, please enjoy it!
