Kubernetes The Hard Way

This tutorial will walk 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 Container Engine, or the Getting Started Guides.

This tutorial is optimized for learning, which means taking the long route to help people understand each task required to bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster.

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. After completing this tutorial I encourage you to automate away the manual steps presented in this guide.

Cluster Details

Kubernetes 1.3.0
Docker 1.11.2
CNI Based Networking
Secure communication between all components (etcd, control plane, workers)
Default Service Account and Secrets

What's Missing

The resulting cluster will be missing the following items:

Labs

The following labs assume you have a working Google Cloud Platform account and a recent version of the Google Cloud SDK (116.0.0+) installed. While GCP will be used for basic infrastructure needs, the things learned in this tutorial apply to every platform.
