# 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](https://cloud.google.com/container-engine), or the [Getting Started Guides](http://kubernetes.io/docs/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.
|
|
|
|
Please note that for AWS the configuration is not production suitable, and you should use a tool such as [kops](https://github.com/kubernetes/kops) instead.
|
|
|
|
## Cluster Details
|
|
|
|
* Kubernetes 1.3.6
|
|
* Docker 1.11.2
|
|
* [CNI Based Networking](https://github.com/containernetworking/cni)
|
|
* 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:
|
|
|
|
* [Cluster add-ons](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/cluster/addons)
|
|
* [Logging](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/logging)
|
|
* [No Cloud Provider Integration](http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/)
|
|
* Unsupported and not production suitable on AWS. Please use for educational purposes only.
|
|
|
|
### Assumptions
|
|
|
|
GCP
|
|
|
|
* The us-central1 region will be used
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
gcloud config set compute/region us-central1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
AWS
|
|
|
|
* The us-west-2 region will be used
|
|
|
|
## Labs
|
|
|
|
This tutorial assumes you have access to one of the following:
|
|
|
|
* [Google Cloud Platform](https://cloud.google.com) and the [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/) (125.0.0+)
|
|
* [Amazon Web Services](https://aws.amazon.com), the [AWS CLI](https://aws.amazon.com/cli) (1.10.63+), and [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq) (1.5+)
|
|
|
|
While GCP or AWS will be used for basic infrastructure needs, the things learned in this tutorial apply to every platform.
