Local Kubernetes Cluster Example

This example demonstrates the setup of a single-master, multi-node Kubernetes cluster, running locally in three VMs. You can run the Ansible playbook against any three servers, but this example includes a Vagrantfile, which allows Vagrant to automatically build three VirtualBox VMs and then runs the playbook agains them automatically.

Usage

Before building the cluster, you need to install the following:

  1. Ansible
  2. VirtualBox
  3. Vagrant

Then, in this directory, run:

$ ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
$ vagrant up

After a few minutes, the three VMs will be booted, and the Ansible playbook will have installed Kubernetes using the main.yml playbook.

Managing Kubernetes

You can log into the master node with the command:

$ vagrant ssh kube1

From there, run sudo su to switch to the root user, and then you can use kubectl to manage the Kubernetes cluster.

Running the test-deployment.yml playbook

You can run a playbook to run a test deployment and service in the cluster, and verify they are working correctly:

$ ansible-playbook -i inventory test-deployment.yml
