Cloud Infrastructure Provisioning - Google Cloud Platform

This lab will walk you through provisioning the compute instances required for running a H/A Kubernetes cluster. A total of 6 virtual machines will be created.

After completing this guide you should have the following compute instances:

gcloud compute instances list

NAME         ZONE           MACHINE_TYPE   PREEMPTIBLE  INTERNAL_IP  EXTERNAL_IP      STATUS
controller0  us-central1-f  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.10  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RUNNING
controller1  us-central1-f  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.11  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RUNNING
controller2  us-central1-f  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.12  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RUNNING
worker0      us-central1-f  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.20  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RUNNING
worker1      us-central1-f  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.21  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RUNNING
worker2      us-central1-f  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.22  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RUNNING

All machines will be provisioned with fixed private IP addresses to simplify the bootstrap process.

To make our Kubernetes control plane remotely accessible, a public IP address will be provisioned and assigned to a Load Balancer that will sit in front of the 3 Kubernetes controllers.

Prerequisites

Set the compute region and zone to us-central1:

gcloud config set compute/region us-central1

gcloud config set compute/zone us-central1-f

Setup Networking

Create a custom network:

gcloud compute networks create kubernetes-the-hard-way --mode custom

Create a subnet for the Kubernetes cluster:

gcloud compute networks subnets create kubernetes \
  --network kubernetes-the-hard-way \
  --range 10.240.0.0/24

Create Firewall Rules

gcloud compute firewall-rules create allow-internal \
  --allow tcp,udp,icmp \
  --network kubernetes-the-hard-way \
  --source-ranges 10.240.0.0/24,10.200.0.0/16

gcloud compute firewall-rules create allow-external \
  --allow tcp:22,tcp:3389,tcp:6443,icmp \
  --network kubernetes-the-hard-way \
  --source-ranges 0.0.0.0/0

gcloud compute firewall-rules create allow-healthz \
  --allow tcp:8080 \
  --network kubernetes-the-hard-way \
  --source-ranges 130.211.0.0/22

gcloud compute firewall-rules list --filter "network=kubernetes-the-hard-way"

NAME            NETWORK                  SRC_RANGES                   RULES                          SRC_TAGS  TARGET_TAGS
allow-external  kubernetes-the-hard-way  0.0.0.0/0                    tcp:22,tcp:3389,tcp:6443,icmp
allow-healthz   kubernetes-the-hard-way  130.211.0.0/22               tcp:8080
allow-internal  kubernetes-the-hard-way  10.240.0.0/24,10.200.0.0/16  tcp,udp,icmp

Create the Kubernetes Public Address

Create a public IP address that will be used by remote clients to connect to the Kubernetes control plane:

gcloud compute addresses create kubernetes-the-hard-way --region=us-central1

gcloud compute addresses list kubernetes-the-hard-way

NAME                     REGION       ADDRESS          STATUS
kubernetes-the-hard-way  us-central1  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  RESERVED

Provision Virtual Machines

All the VMs in this lab will be provisioned using Ubuntu 16.04 mainly because it runs a newish Linux kernel with good support for Docker.
