In this workshop you will learn how to:
- Provision a basic Kubernetes cluster from the ground up using Google Compute Engine
- Provision a complete Kubernetes using Google Container Engine
- Deploy and manage Docker containers using kubectl
Kubernetes Version: 1.2.2
GCE will be used to setup a Kubernetes cluster from the ground up. This workshop will require the ability to create the following resources:
- Virtual Machines
- Routes
- Firewall Rules
In this section you will create a Google Compute Engine (GCE) account. GCE will allow you to the create VMs, Networks, and Storage volumes required for this workshop. GCE also provides the Cloud Shell computing environment that will be used complete the labs.
Login into your Cloud Shell environment and clone this repository.
git clone https://github.com/sennerholm/craft-kubernetes-workshop.git
Kubernetes can be configured with many options and add-ons, but can be time consuming to bootstrap from the ground up. In this section you will bootstrap Kubernetes using Google Container Engine (GKE).
Kubernetes is all about applications and in this section you will utilize the Kubernetes API to deploy, manage, and upgrade applications. In this part of the workshop you will use an example application called "app" to complete the labs.
App is hosted on GitHub and provides an example 12 Factor application. During this workshop you will be working with the following Docker images:
- kelseyhightower/monolith - Monolith includes auth and hello services.
- kelseyhightower/auth - Auth microservice. Generates JWT tokens for authenticated users.
- kelseyhightower/hello - Hello microservice. Greets authenticated users.
- ngnix - Frontend to the auth and hello services.
