Disable IpV6

It is preferable to keep both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses enabled whenever available. Because only roughly one-third of the internet supports IPv6 addresses, utilizing exclusively IPv6 may pose some accessibility concerns. But, IPv6 is still optional in the case of Kubernetes.

To disable IPv6 on all worker nodes, use the following commands:

Firstly, the user must go to the /etc/default folder. After that change the setting GRUB CMDLINE LINUX DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1" in the grub file. After saving the file, use the command update-grub to update it. Reboot the node, and after being operational, use the cat /proc/cmdline to verify the "ipv6.disable=1" the command is mirroring the values.

Go through the following procedures after completing the steps mentioned above to begin the configurations to disable ipv6 Kubernetes.

Type in:

echo "
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=1
" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf

reboot after the process

1. Make a file that can meet the following requirements for disabling the IPv6 Kubernetes:

   write_files:
- path: /etc/sysctl.d/10-disable-ipv6.conf
permissions: 0644
owner: root
content: |
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 1
2. Note that the steps given below use the user data complete the process:

   core@ip-192-168-17-202 ~ $ cat /etc/sysctl.d/10-disable-ipv6.conf net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1

   After the process a user must apply the configurations by typing in the following command:

   core@ip-192-168-17-202 ~ $ sudo systemctl restart systemd-sysctl

check and manage the addresses as shown below:

core@ip-192-168-17-202 ~ $ ip -6 addr show core@ip-192-168-17-202 ~ $ ip -4 addr show

1. lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2. ens3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9001 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000 inet 192.168.17.202/24 brd 192.168.17.255 scope global dynamic ens3 valid_lft 3151sec preferred_lft 3151sec
3. docker0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9001 qdisc noqueue state UP group default
inet 172.17.42.1/16 scope global docker0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

This process will disable ipv6.

Conclusion

To conclude it is easy to disable the IPV6 Kubernetes. And, the process requires the user to make a file describing the conditions for disabling the Ipv6 on all nodes. This allows the user to have more control over the disabling of Ipv6.
