Still somewhat of a k8s n00b, so sorry if I'm out of line here, but I'd like to propose a small amendment to the output of the get pods command confirming the deployment of the kube-dns add-on. This seems like a deployment creating a single replicaset by default, the output should then list a single RS. From the deployment's YAML file: spec: # replicas: not specified here: # 1. In order to make Addon Manager do not reconcile this replicas parameter. # 2. Default is 1. # 3. Will be tuned in real time if DNS horizontal auto-scaling is turned on. Output of a describe of the resulting deployment: kubectl describe deployment kube-dns -n kube-system | grep ReplicaSet OldReplicaSets: <none> NewReplicaSet: kube-dns-6c857864fb (1/1 replicas created)
Kubernetes The Hard Way
This tutorial walks you through setting up Kubernetes the hard way. This guide is not for people looking for a fully automated command to bring up a Kubernetes cluster. If that's you then check out Google Kubernetes Engine, or the Getting Started Guides.
Kubernetes The Hard Way is optimized for learning, which means taking the long route to ensure you understand each task required to bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster.
The results of this tutorial should not be viewed as production ready, and may receive limited support from the community, but don't let that stop you from learning!
Target Audience
The target audience for this tutorial is someone planning to support a production Kubernetes cluster and wants to understand how everything fits together.
Cluster Details
Kubernetes The Hard Way guides you through bootstrapping a highly available Kubernetes cluster with end-to-end encryption between components and RBAC authentication.
- Kubernetes 1.9.0
- cri-containerd Container Runtime 1.0.0-beta.0
- CNI Container Networking 0.6.0
- etcd 3.2.11
Labs
This tutorial assumes you have access to the Google Cloud Platform. While GCP is used for basic infrastructure requirements the lessons learned in this tutorial can be applied to other platforms.
