cli

You can download the TK8 CLI for Linux and Mac OSX under releases here.

Make sure you have the sufficient permissions to create following resources in AWS

  • VPC with Public/Private Subnets, and NAT Gateways in different Availability Zones

  • EC2 instances used for bastion host, masters, etcd, and worker nodes

  • AWS ELB in the Public Subnet for accessing the Kubernetes API from the internet

  • IAM Roles which will be used with the nodes

Provide the AWS credentials in either of the following ways:

Create a cluster

Adapt the config.yaml file to specify the cluster details. Example config:

aws:
   clustername: kubernauts
   os: centos
   aws_access_key_id: ""
   aws_secret_access_key: ""
   aws_ssh_keypair: ""
   aws_default_region: ""
   aws_vpc_cidr_block : "10.250.192.0/18"
   aws_cidr_subnets_private : '["10.250.192.0/20","10.250.208.0/20"]'
   aws_cidr_subnets_public : '["10.250.224.0/20","10.250.240.0/20"]'
   aws_bastion_size : "t2.medium"
   aws_kube_master_num : 1
   aws_kube_master_size : "t2.medium"
   aws_etcd_num : 1
   aws_etcd_size : "t2.medium"
   aws_kube_worker_num : 1
   aws_kube_worker_size : "t2.medium"
   aws_elb_api_port : 6443
   k8s_secure_api_port : 6443
   kube_insecure_apiserver_address : "0.0.0.0"
   kubeadm_enabled: false
   kube_network_plugin: "flannel"

Once done run:

tk8 cluster install aws

Post installation the kubeconfig will be available at: $(pwd)/inventory/yourWorkspaceOrClusterName/artifacts/admin.conf

Do not delete the inventory directory post installation as the cluster state will be saved in it.

Destroy the provisioned cluster

Make sure you are in same directory where you executed tk8 cluster install aws with the inventory directory. If you use a different workspace name with the --name flag please provided it on destroying too.

To delete the provisioned cluster run:

tk8 cluster destroy aws
