The DevOps 2.3 Toolkit

By: Viktor Farcic

Overview of this book

Building on The DevOps 2.0 Toolkit, The DevOps 2.1 Toolkit: Docker Swarm, and The DevOps 2.2 Toolkit: Self-Sufficient Docker Clusters, Viktor Farcic brings his latest exploration of the DevOps Toolkit as he takes you on a journey to explore the features of Kubernetes. The DevOps 2.3 Toolkit: Kubernetes is a book in the series that helps you build a full DevOps Toolkit. This book in the series looks at Kubernetes, the tool designed to, among other roles, make it easier in the creation and deployment of highly available and fault-tolerant applications at scale, with zero downtime. Within this book, Viktor will cover a wide range of emerging topics, including what exactly Kubernetes is, how to use both first and third-party add-ons for projects, and how to get the skills to be able to call yourself a “Kubernetes ninja.” Work with Viktor and dive into the creation and exploration of Kubernetes with a series of hands-on guides.

Creating a cluster

We'll go through almost the same routine as we did in the previous chapters. We'll enter the directory where we cloned the vfarcic/k8s-specs repository, pull the latest code, start a Minikube cluster, and so on and so forth. The only new thing we'll do this time is to enable one more addon. We'll add Heapster to the cluster. It's too soon to explain what it does and why we'll need it. That will come later. For now, just remember that there will soon be something in your cluster called Heapster. If you do not already know what it is, consider this a teaser meant to build suspense.

All the commands from this chapter are available in the 13-resource.sh (https://gist.github.com/vfarcic/cc8c44e1e84446dccde3d377c131a5cd) Gist.
cd k8s-specs
