Workshop

Pre-Requirements

Please make sure that you have the tools that follow installed.

You'll need Google Cloud Platform (GCP) admin permissions. If you don't have the account or the one you're using does not have admin permissions, please create a personal account by visiting cloud.google.com. You'll get $300 of free credit.

Please make sure you have the name of a GCP project ready. If you don't have one, you can follow the instructions from the Creating and Managing Projects documentation.

To be on the safe side and confirm that you can create a GKE cluster, please execute the commands that follow.

CLUSTER_NAME=[...] # Change to a random name (e.g., your user)

gcloud auth login

gcloud container clusters \
    create $CLUSTER_NAME \
    --region us-east1 \
    --machine-type n1-standard-1 \
    --enable-autoscaling \
    --num-nodes 1 \
    --max-nodes 3 \
    --min-nodes 1

kubectl create clusterrolebinding \
    cluster-admin-binding \
    --clusterrole cluster-admin \
    --user $(gcloud config get-value account)

gcloud container clusters \
    delete $CLUSTER_NAME \
    --region us-east1 \
    --quiet

Those commands created a GKE cluster and destroyed it right away. Their purpose was only to validate whether you are able to create a GKE cluster. We'll create a new cluster during the training.

Please send an email to [email protected] if you encountered any problems.
