Minikube workstation - Launch it quickly in AWS to try Kubernetes

minikube-wks

Minikube workstation - Set up to be able to run locally or to launch it quickly in AWS to try Kubernetes.

• PS: These package are required to execute this tests.
  • packer
  • terraform
  • jq

Quick Start

• Clone repo git clone
• Start Vagrant Machine vagrant up
• SSH into Vagrant vagrant ssh
• Start minikube minikube start

How to use:

Requirements:

• Terraform
• Packer

For local usage:

• Vagrant
• VirtualBox

Usage:

Syntax

$ local shell ~$ inside and SSH session

Locally with Vagrant:

The Vagrantfile is set up to run VirtualBox as the Vagrant provider and Ubuntu 16.04.

Step 1:

Execute ./local-start.sh.

This script creates the SSH keys, start the vagrant machine, and start an SSH session into the Vagrant enviorement.

Step 2:

Start Minikube and make sure it's running

~$ sudo minikube start --vm-driver=none
~$ sudo minikube status

Minikube is forced to run with --vm-driver=none and sudo due to a VirtualBox limitation.

Step 3:

Stop Minikube and logout from the Vagrant machine.

~$ sudo minikube stop
~$ logout

If all the testing is done, you can proceed to destroy the Vagrant machine by running in your machine.

$ vagrant destroy

With AWS

Step 1

• Create new IAM using Packer and new EC2 with Terraform
  • 1: Edit the aws.properties file and put the information about your AWS VPC and Subnet, example:

      REGION="us-east-1"
      VPC_ID="vpc-1c44e464"
      SUBNET_ID="subnet-b81cf797"
      BASE_AMI="ami-80861296"
  

  • 2: Execute ./start.sh This script make the sed command on Packer template and terraform variables changing the many parameters.

Step 2 - Access Instance with SSH, Start and test Minikube

• To access the instance and test k8s command use the new script: ssh-connection.sh

Step 3 - Destroy EC2 resources with Terraform

• cd terraform/instance/ && terraform destroy -force
