Install KUBERNETES (EKS-D)

OS: UBUNTU

Install Kubectl 

sudo snap install kubectl --classic
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Install Amazon EKS Distro (EKS-D)

Export the current EKS-D configuration information for use with Kubectl 

mkdir -p $HOME/.kube sudo eks config > .kube/config
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Inspect the installation 

eks inspect | grep running
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Access Kubernetes

EKS-D comes with its own version of Kubectl to access Kubernetes. Below we will cover 2 different forms of access to view the "nodes" and "services":

Conventional

eks kubectl get nodes
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION myuser Ready <none> 33m v1.18.9-eks-1-18-1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
eks kubectl get services
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE kubernetes ClusterIP 10.152.183.1 <none> 443/TCP 33m
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Recommended

kubectl get nodes
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION myuser Ready <none> 33m v1.18.9-eks-1-18-1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
kubectl get services
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE kubernetes ClusterIP 10.152.183.1 <none> 443/TCP 33m
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Note: As shown, the 2 forms have the same result, but from this point on we will only use the "Recommended" with Kubectl.

Deploy a test application 

kubectl create deployment nginx --image=nginx
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
deployment.apps/nginx created
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
kubectl get pods
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE nginx-f89759699-2w75l 1/1 Running 0 33s
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Starting and stopping EKS-D

EKS-D will continue to run until you decide to stop it. You can stop and start with the commands below:

sudo eks stop
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
Stopped.
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
sudo eks start
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
Started.
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Basic information of your Kubernetes cluster

Server/Client version 

kubectl version --short=true
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
Client Version: v1.19.4 Server Version: v1.18.9-1+c787d4d0c397b8
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Cluster information 

kubectl cluster-info
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
Kubernetes master is running at https://192.168.254.100:16443 CoreDNS is running at https://192.168.254.100:16443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy Metrics-server is running at https://192.168.254.100:16443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:metrics-server:/proxy
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

kubectl config view
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
apiVersion: v1 clusters: - cluster: certificate-authority-data: DATA+OMITTED server: https://192.168.254.100:16443 name: microk8s-cluster contexts: - context: cluster: microk8s-cluster user: admin name: microk8s current-context: microk8s kind: Config preferences: {} users: - name: admin user: token: REDACTED
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Note: To view the access token, use the "--flatten=true" option.
