This post delves into the critical phase of joining worker nodes to our Kubernetes cluster. This step-by-step guide takes you through automating node setup, installing CRI-O, and configuring Kubernetes tools, culminating in securely joining each node to the cluster. Perfect for those looking to expand their Kubernetes understanding, this post illuminates the essentials of enhancing a cluster’s capabilities readying it for robust application deployment.
In this article of my series, we delve into the pivotal task of bootstrapping the control plane node. We cover everything, including script automation, tools installations, and firewall configurations. We’ll use kubeadm, CRI-O, and Calico to set a solid foundation for our Kubernetes cluster. So, it’s time to set the stage and start establishing the Kubernetes Control Plane Node.
We delve into the intricate process of setting up a robust foundation for a Kubernetes environment. This comprehensive guide takes you through every step of creating and configuring VMs, network setups, and nodes, essential in building a resilient Kubernetes cluster. We explore a range of functions and scripts designed to automate the deployment of Worker Nodes and the Control Plane, establishing a virtual framework where Kubernetes can efficiently operate. Our journey encompasses the creation of a versatile VM template and highlights the strategic setup of network components, ensuring seamless inter-node communication. This article is a deep dive into the foundational steps of constructing a Kubernetes cluster, setting the stage for an advanced orchestration system.
Dive into the world of Kubernetes with my new blog series demonstrating building a Kubernetes cluster from the ground up. In this first post, we lay the architectural blueprint, exploring why a hands-on approach with Kubeadm on bare metal is not just a learning exercise but a journey to the heart of Kubernetes mastery. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together!
