Welcome to the Cilium Workshop!
We'll explore some Cilium Network Policies and tools to help you better understand Cilium. This workshop will demonstrate Cilium's capabilities in a Kubernetes environment. We will assume minikube v0.28.0 with k8s v1.10 and Cilium v1.2 but if you're using a different version, you can retrieve other k8s and Cilium versions by following our Getting Started Guides.
-
Install a hypervisor virtualbox
If you are on Linux, make sure Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) is enabled on BIOS.
-
Install kubectl
-
Install minikube (v0.28.0 recommended).
% minikube version minikube version: v0.28.0 -
(Optional) Join our Slack channel to helping and collaborating with other Cilium users: Cilium Slack #cilium-workshop
-
(Optional) Clone this repo to have quick access to the commands and scripts that you will use.
-
First, deploy minikube with the CNI option enabled:
minikube start --network-plugin=cni --memory=5120 --bootstrapper=localkube --kubernetes-version=v1.10.0
-
Cilium requires a KV-store. For the purpose of this demo, launch etcd as its dependency:
kubectl create -n kube-system -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cilium/cilium/v1.2/examples/kubernetes/addons/etcd/standalone-etcd.yaml -
Finally deploy the Cilium DaemonSet on minikube:
kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cilium/cilium/v1.2/examples/kubernetes/1.10/cilium.yaml -
Restart your kube-dns pod so it can be managed by Cilium.
kubectl delete pod kube-dns-XXXX -n kube-system
Confirm that you're up and running:
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
Now you're ready to proceed to the Cilium Intro Workshop.
