Cloud Infrastructure Provisioning - Google Cloud Platform

This lab will walk you through provisioning the compute instances required for running a H/A Kubernetes cluster. A total of 9 virtual machines will be created.

If you are following this guide using the GCP free trial you may run into the following error:

ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instances.create) Some requests did not succeed:
 - Quota 'CPUS' exceeded. Limit: 8.0

This means you'll only be able to create 8 machines until you upgrade your account. In that case skip the provisioning of the worker2 node to avoid hitting the CPUS qouta.

After completing this guide you should have the following compute instances:

gcloud compute instances list
NAME         ZONE           MACHINE_TYPE   PREEMPTIBLE  INTERNAL_IP  EXTERNAL_IP      STATUS
controller0  us-central1-f  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.20  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RUNNING
controller1  us-central1-f  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.21  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RUNNING
controller2  us-central1-f  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.22  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RUNNING
etcd0        us-central1-f  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.10  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RUNNING

etcd2        us-central1-f  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.12  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RUNNING
worker0      us-central1-f  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.30  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RUNNING
worker1      us-central1-f  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.31  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RUNNING
worker2      us-central1-f  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.32  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RUNNING

All machines will be provisioned with fixed private IP addresses to simplify the bootstrap process.

To make our Kubernetes control plane remotely accessible, a public IP address will be provisioned and assigned to a Load Balancer that will sit in front of the 3 Kubernetes controllers.

Networking

gcloud compute networks create kubernetes --mode custom
NAME        MODE    IPV4_RANGE  GATEWAY_IPV4
kubernetes  custom

Create a subnet for the Kubernetes cluster:

gcloud compute networks subnets create kubernetes \
  --network kubernetes \
  --range 10.240.0.0/24 \
  --region us-central1
NAME        REGION       NETWORK     RANGE
kubernetes  us-central1  kubernetes  10.240.0.0/24

Kubernetes Public Address

Create a public IP address that will be used by remote clients to connect to the Kubernetes control plane:

gcloud compute addresses create kubernetes
gcloud compute addresses list kubernetes
NAME        REGION       ADDRESS          STATUS
kubernetes  us-central1  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RESERVED

Provision Virtual Machines

All the VMs in this lab will be provisioned using Ubuntu 16.04 mainly because it runs a newish Linux Kernel that has good support for Docker.

If you are using the GCP free trial which limits your account to 8 nodes, skip the creation of worker2 to avoid hitting the CPUS qouta.
