When I ran through this tutorial I wasn't clear on the reason for some of the commands, so I did some research and fleshed out this section with basic explanations and links to the relevant Google Cloud Platform documentation.
Instead of 'value(address)' 'value(name)' should be used to make the following forwarding-rules creation command to work. With 'value(address)' it returns an error: "ERROR: (gcloud.compute.forwarding-rules.create) Could not fetch resource: - The resource 'projects/some-random-project/regions/us-central1/addresses/w.x.y.z' was not found"
there is a bug in Kubernetes 1.6.1 that causes an error when validating the kubernetes environment and etcd. (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39716) I found that using the 1.7.0 version I did not get this error. Affects the README, this file and the client configuration (moving to 1.7.0 to match)
Unless the region is explicitly passed, I get the error:
```
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.target-pools.create) Some requests did not succeed:
- Invalid value for field 'region': 'us-central1-b'. Unknown region.
```
It is cleared out at reboot.
It appears that only the file-name part of --tls-cert-file /
--tls-private-key-file is used and that the path is taken from
--cert-dir (which defaults to /var/run/kubernetes) so to make the path
stick we also add a --cert-dir
kube-controller-manager and kube-apiserver service unit files are missing
one option --cloud-provider=aws parameter, which is creating problem while
creating ELB on AWS when type: LoadBalancer is provided in service YAML file.
This commit fixes that, issue
docs/06.kubectl.md does not instruct from which node those commands must be run.
The previous modules does explain that. For a newbie its helpful to tell them
from which node they must run commands of doc/06-kubectl.md.
This PR has a minor update about that information.
