Challenge Lab

Task 1: Create a project jumphost instance

Navigation menu > Compute engine > VM Instance

Task 2: Create a Kubernetes service cluster

gcloud config set compute/zone us-east1-b

gcloud container clusters create nucleus-webserver1

gcloud container clusters get-credentials nucleus-webserver1

kubectl create deployment hello-app --image=gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:2.0

kubectl expose deployment hello-app --type=LoadBalancer --port 8080

kubectl get service

Task 3: Setup an HTTP load balancer

Copy following code and paste it in the Cloud Shell and press enter:

cat << EOF > startup.sh
#! /bin/bash
apt-get update
apt-get install -y nginx
service nginx start
sed -i -- 's/nginx/Google Cloud Platform - '"\$HOSTNAME"'/' /var/www/html/index.nginx-debian.html
EOF

1 .Create an instance template :

gcloud compute instance-templates create nginx-template \ --metadata-from-file startup-script=startup.sh

2 .Create a target pool :

While you enter following command, it asks if you want to set it in southasia but press n, and then select us-east1 (20) number.

gcloud compute target-pools create nginx-pool

3 .Create a managed instance group :

gcloud compute instance-groups managed create nginx-group \ --base-instance-name nginx \ --size 2 \ --template nginx-template \ --target-pool nginx-pool

gcloud compute instances list

4 .Create a firewall rule to allow traffic (80/tcp) :

gcloud compute firewall-rules create www-firewall --allow tcp:80

gcloud compute forwarding-rules create nginx-lb \ --region us-east1 \ --ports=80 \ --target-pool nginx-pool

gcloud compute forwarding-rules list

5 .Create a health check :

gcloud compute http-health-checks create http-basic-check

gcloud compute instance-groups managed \ set-named-ports nginx-group \ --named-ports http:80

6 .Create a backend service and attach the manged instance group :

gcloud compute backend-services create nginx-backend \ --protocol HTTP --http-health-checks http-basic-check --global

gcloud compute backend-services add-backend nginx-backend \ --instance-group nginx-group \ --instance-group-zone us-east1-b \ --global

7 .Create a URL map and target HTTP proxy to route requests to your URL map :

gcloud compute url-maps create web-map \ --default-service nginx-backend

gcloud compute target-http-proxies create http-lb-proxy \ --url-map web-map

8 .Create a forwarding rule :

gcloud compute forwarding-rules create http-content-rule \ --global \ --target-http-proxy http-lb-proxy \ --ports 80

gcloud compute forwarding-rules list
