Creating a Kubernetes Cluster
This page shows how to run Kubernetes on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
- 1.Install the Cloud SDK, which includes the gcloud command-line tool.
- 2.Install the kubectl command-line tool
$ gcloud components install kubectl
Here we set the project id that will be the home for our Kubernetes nodes and the primary geographic zone for the cluster.
PROJECT_ID=beaconchain
CLUSTER_NAME=cardano
CLUSTER_ZONE=us-central1-a
# Setting a default project ID
$ gcloud config set project $PROJECT_ID
# Setting a default compute zone or region
$ gcloud config set compute/zone $CLUSTER_ZONE
$ gcloud container clusters create $CLUSTER_NAME \
--disk-size=32GB \
--machine-type=e2-medium \
--node-locations=$CLUSTER_ZONE \
--zone=$CLUSTER_ZONE \
--num-nodes=2
Creating cluster cardano in us-central1-a... Cluster is being health-checked (master is healthy)...done.
NAME LOCATION MASTER_VERSION MASTER_IP MACHINE_TYPE NODE_VERSION NUM_NODES STATUS
cardano us-central1-a 1.18.12-gke.1210 34.123.140.191 e2-medium 1.18.12-gke.1210 2 RUNNING
Great, to install Kubernetes on two nodes and network them together to form a cluster took about 1min.
$ gcloud container clusters get-credentials $CLUSTER_NAME
Fetching cluster endpoint and auth data.
kubeconfig entry generated for cardano.
We should now be able to use the
kubectl command$ kubectl cluster-info
