# Bootstrapping an H/A Kubernetes Control Plane

In this lab you will bootstrap a 3 node Kubernetes controller cluster. The following virtual machines will be used:

```
NAME         ZONE           MACHINE_TYPE   INTERNAL_IP  STATUS
controller0  us-central1-f  n1-standard-1  10.240.0.20  RUNNING
controller1  us-central1-f  n1-standard-1  10.240.0.21  RUNNING
controller2  us-central1-f  n1-standard-1  10.240.0.22  RUNNING
```

In this lab you will also create a frontend load balancer with a public IP address for remote access to the API servers and H/A.

## Why

The Kubernetes components that make up the control plane include the following components:

* Kubernetes API Server
* Kubernetes Scheduler
* Kubernetes Controller Manager

Each component is being run on the same machines for the following reasons:

* The Scheduler and Controller Manager are tightly coupled with the API Server
* Only one Scheduler and Controller Manager can be active at a given time, but it's ok to run multiple at the same time. Each component will elect a leader via the API Server.
* Running multiple copies of each component is required for H/A
* Running each component next to the API Server eases configuration.

## Provision the Kubernetes Controller Cluster

### controller0

```
gcloud compute ssh controller0
```

Move the TLS certificates in place:

```
sudo mkdir -p /var/run/kubernetes
```

```
sudo mv ca.pem kubernetes-key.pem kubernetes.pem /var/run/kubernetes/
```

Download and install the Kubernetes controller binaries:

```
wget https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases/download/v1.3.0/kubernetes.tar.gz
```

```
tar -xvf kubernetes.tar.gz
```

```
tar -xvf kubernetes/server/kubernetes-server-linux-amd64.tar.gz
```

```
sudo cp kubernetes/server/bin/kube-apiserver /usr/bin/
sudo cp kubernetes/server/bin/kube-controller-manager /usr/bin/
sudo cp kubernetes/server/bin/kube-scheduler /usr/bin/
sudo cp kubernetes/server/bin/kubectl /usr/bin/
```

#### Kubernetes API Server

```
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/hightowerlabs/authorization-policy.jsonl
```

```
cat authorization-policy.jsonl
```

```
sudo mv authorization-policy.jsonl /var/run/kubernetes/
```

```
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/hightowerlabs/token.csv
```

```
cat token.csv
```

```
sudo mv token.csv /var/run/kubernetes/
```
