Setup your Kubernetes Cluster

We have to create a Kubernetes cluster that we will interact with during the tutorial. We will create a Kubernetes cluster v1.11 with one node per zone in the region Frankfurt. Follow the guide to get it started.

  1. Run the following command to create your cluster: 
    gcloud container clusters create my-cluster --region europe-west3 --cluster-version 1.12.8-gke.10 --num-nodes 1
  2. The output should look like the following: 
    WARNING: ...truncated some lines...
Creating cluster my-cluster in europe-west3... Cluster is being health-checked (master is healthy)...done.
Created [https://container.googleapis.com/v1/projects/$GCLOUD_PROJECT_ID/zones/europe-west3/clusters/my-cluster].
To inspect the contents of your cluster, go to: https://console.cloud.google.com/kubernetes/workload_/gcloud/europe-west3/my-cluster?project=$GCLOUD_PROJECT_ID
kubeconfig entry generated for my-cluster.
NAME        LOCATION      MASTER_VERSION  MASTER_IP     MACHINE_TYPE   NODE_VERSION   NUM_NODES  STATUS
my-cluster  europe-west3  1.12.8-gke.10   35.234.67.59  n1-standard-1  1.12.8-gke.10  3          RUNNING
  3. Test if kubectl can access the cluster, use kubectl cluster-info. This should return some similar output: 
    Kubernetes master is running at https://35.234.67.59
GLBCDefaultBackend is running at https://35.234.67.59/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/default-http-backend:http/proxy
Heapster is running at https://35.234.67.59/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/heapster/proxy
KubeDNS is running at https://35.234.67.59/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy
Metrics-server is running at https://35.234.67.59/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:metrics-server:/proxy
  4. You can also find your Kubernetes cluster in the Console
