Getting Started with GKE

Here's how to create and install pre-requisites for the Layer7 project

It's best to run this on a fresh GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine) cluster

• You can usually run this using the free credits you'll receive when you open a new account.

Pre-requisites

• Google SDK Installation documentation

• A GKE Cluster

  • Google SDK command to create a working context

  $ gcloud init
  .... a bunch of questions and confirmations ....
  $ gcloud config list
  [compute]
  region = us-west1
  zone = us-west1
  [core]
  account = <[email protected]>
  disable_usage_reporting = False
  project = my_project
  
  Your active configuration is: [default]
   $ gcloud container clusters create l7-project --machine-type=n1-standard-4 --num-nodes=2
   ... a bunch of stuff .... then
   kubeconfig entry generated for l7-project.
   NAME        LOCATION  MASTER_VERSION  MASTER_IP      MACHINE_TYPE   NODE_VERSION    NUM_NODES  STATUS
   l7_project  us-west1  1.14.10-gke.24  104.198.x.y    n1-standard-4  1.14.10-gke.24  9          RUNNING
  
  

• A Cluster Role Binding
  • For this demo, we are using the cluster-admin role,
  • Locally for production, obviously you would restrict this as per your requirements

  $ kubectl create clusterrolebinding cluster-admin-binding --clusterrole cluster-admin --user [your-registered-email@yourdomain]
