Kubernetes Setup Guide

awssetup.md

This is a simple guide to getting up and running with kubernetes on AWS.

Install the aws CLI.

brew install awscli

Setup a profile in the aws CLI and enter some credentials, I create an IAM account in my AWS and give it admin, then generate some credentials.

aws configure --profile wolfeidau_dev

Download the latest kebernetes release.

wget https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases/download/v1.0.6/kubernetes.tar.gz

Extract the archive.

tar xvzf kubernetes.tar.gz

Navigate into the directory.

cd kubernetes

Download the awssetup.sh script.

Modify the header of the awssetup.sh to reflect the settings you want, you will want to update AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE and AWS_S3_BUCKET.

Lastly execute it.

./awssetup.sh start

awssetup.sh

#!/bin/bash

set -e

export KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=aws

# profile in your ~/.aws/config file.
# mine is wolfeidau_dev
export AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=org_name_env
export KUBE_AWS_ZONE=us-west-2a
export NUM_MINIONS=3

# configured small for master as it gets busy
export MASTER_SIZE=t2.small
export MINION_SIZE=t2.micro

# mine is wolfeidau_dev
export AWS_S3_BUCKET=org_name_env-kubernetes-artifacts
export INSTANCE_PREFIX=k8s

set +e

case "$1" in
    start)
        ./cluster/kube-up.sh
        echo
        echo "kubernetes started"
        echo
        ;;
    stop)
        ./cluster/kube-down.sh
        ;;
    status)
        ./cluster/kubectl.sh cluster-info
        ;;
   *)
        echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|status}"
        exit 1
