GKE Setup

▶gcloud config set project <project>

▶gcloud config set compute/region <region> (needed for regional/multi-az)

▶gcloud config set compute/zone <zone>

Update
▶ gcloud components update

Create a cluster (regional/multizone)

gcloud container clusters create test-cluster-ryan \
--region us-east1 \
--node-locations us-east1-b,us-east1-c,us-east1-d \
--disk-type=pd-ssd \
--disk-size=50GB \
--labels=portworx=gke \
--machine-type=n1-standard-4 \
--num-nodes=1 \
--image-type ubuntu \
--enable-autoscaling --max-nodes=6 --min-nodes=3

Create a cluster (single zone)

gcloud container clusters create test-cluster-ryan \
--zone us-east1-d \
--disk-type=pd-ssd \
--disk-size=50GB \
--labels=portworx=gke \
--machine-type=n1-standard-4 \
--num-nodes=3 \
--image-type ubuntu \
--enable-autoscaling --max-nodes=6 --min-nodes=3

Manage your cluster

Describe cluster gcloud container clusters describe test-cluster-ryan

Set default cluster gcloud config set container/cluster test-cluster-ryan

Get endpoint

gcloud container clusters describe test-cluster-ryan | grep endpoint
endpoint: 35.231.17.210

Configure kubectl gcloud container clusters get-credentials test-cluster-ryan

Or gcloud container clusters get-credentials --region us-east1 test-cluster-ryan

Get nodes

kubectl get no
NAME                                               STATUS    ROLES     AGE       VERSION
gke-test-cluster-ryan-default-pool-ac8eed24-c38h   Ready     <none>    16m       v1.9.7-gke.6
gke-test-cluster-ryan-default-pool-ac8eed24-clh1   Ready     <none>    15m       v1.9.7-gke.6
gke-test-cluster-ryan-default-pool-ac8eed24-ftf7   Ready     <none>    16m       v1.9.7-gke.6

Deploy Portworx

Enable Compute API

gcloud services enable compute.googleapis.com

Create a ClusterRoleBinding for your user using the following commands:

Get current google identity

gcloud info | grep Account
Account: [myname@example.org]

Grant cluster-admin to your current identity

kubectl create clusterrolebinding myname-cluster-admin-binding \
  --clusterrole=cluster-admin --user=myname@example.org
Clusterrolebinding "myname-cluster-admin-binding" created

Deploy Portworx DaemonSet

Create PX Spec

This guide proviced a pre-configure portworx spec in specs/px-spec.yaml

Gather the Etcd endpoint that portworx needs in https://install.portworx.com/

kubectl describe svc portworx-etcd-cluster-client -n kube-system | grep IP:
IP:                10.15.250.249

1. Visit and fill out https://install.portworx.com/
2. Make sure and modify the portworx spec to include etcd certs (https://docs.portworx.com/scheduler/kubernetes/etcd-certs-using-secrets.html#edit-portworx-spec)

Use your produces spec or the one in specs/

$ kubectl create -f specsGKE/px-spec.yaml
configmap/stork-config created

When they are running, create access to pxctl

export PX_POD=$(kubectl get pods -l name=portworx -n kube-system -o jsonpath='{.items[2].metadata.name}')

alias pxctl="kubectl exec $PX_POD -n kube-system -- /opt/pwx/bin/pxctl"

Get pxctl status

Expose LightHouse

gcloud compute firewall-rules create lighthouse-ingress-http \
  --allow tcp:32678 \
  --target-tags=portworx

Visit the following

echo http://"$(kubectl describe no <ANY_GKE_WORKER_NODE_NAME> | grep ExternalIP | awk '{print $2}')":32678

http://35.237.126.155:32678

Login

admin/Password1

Use the Cluster IP in the output below for Cluster Endpoint in the UI and click Verify then Attach

kubectl get svc -n kube-system portworx-service
NAME               TYPE        CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)    AGE

Add Monitoring

https://docs.portworx.com/scheduler/kubernetes/monitoring-px-prometheusAndGrafana.html

kubectl create -f specs-common/service-monitor.yaml
kubectl create -f specs-common/prometheus-cluster.yaml
kubectl create configmap grafana-config --from-file=$(pwd)/files/grafanaConfigurations -n kube-system
kubectl apply -f specs-common/grafana-deployment.yaml

Make sure to follow other directions such as adding data source named 'prometheus'

Grafana default login is admin/admin
