# Deploying a managed cluster
*"The easiest way to install Kubernetes is to get someone
else to do it for you."
<br/>
([Jérôme Petazzoni](https://twitter.com/jpetazzo))*
- Let's see a few options to install managed clusters!
- This is not an exhaustive list
(the goal is to show the actual steps to get started)
- The list is sorted alphabetically
- All the options mentioned here require an account
with a cloud provider
- ... And a credit card
---
## AKS (initial setup)
- Install the Azure CLI
- Login:
```bash
az login
```
- Select a [region](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/global-infrastructure/services/?products=kubernetes-service&regions=all
)
- Create a "resource group":
```bash
az group create --name my-aks-group --location westeurope
```
---
## AKS (create cluster)
- Create the cluster:
```bash
az aks create --resource-group my-aks-group --name my-aks-cluster
```
- Wait about 5-10 minutes
- Add credentials to `kubeconfig`:
```bash
az aks get-credentials --resource-group my-aks-group --name my-aks-cluster
```
---
## AKS (cleanup)
- Delete the cluster:
```bash
az aks delete --resource-group my-aks-group --name my-aks-cluster
```
- Delete the resource group:
```bash
az group delete --resource-group my-aks-group
```
- Note: delete actions can take a while too!
(5-10 minutes as well)
---
## AKS (notes)
- The cluster has useful components pre-installed, such as the metrics server
- There is also a product called [AKS Engine](https://github.com/Azure/aks-engine):
- leverages ARM (Azure Resource Manager) templates to deploy Kubernetes
- it's "the library used by AKS"
- fully customizable
- think of it as "half-managed" Kubernetes option
---
## Amazon EKS (the old way)
- [Read the doc](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started-console.html)
- Create service roles, VPCs, and a bunch of other oddities
- Try to figure out why it doesn't work
- Start over, following an [official AWS blog post](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-eks-now-generally-available/)
- Try to find the missing Cloud Formation template

---
## Amazon EKS (the new way)
- Install `eksctl`
- Set the usual environment variables
([AWS_DEFAULT_REGION](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#eks_region), AWS_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)
- Create the cluster:
```bash
eksctl create cluster
```
- Cluster can take a long time to be ready (15-20 minutes is typical)
- Add cluster add-ons
(by default, it doesn't come with metrics-server, logging, etc.)
---
## Amazon EKS (cleanup)
- Delete the cluster:
```bash
eksctl delete cluster <clustername>
```
- If you need to find the name of the cluster:
```bash
eksctl get clusters
```
.footnote[Note: the AWS documentation has been updated and now includes [eksctl instructions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started-eksctl.html).]
---
## Amazon EKS (notes)
- Convenient if you *have to* use AWS
- Needs extra steps to be truly production-ready
- [Versions tend to be outdated](https://twitter.com/jpetazzo/status/1252948707680686081)
- The only officially supported pod network is the [Amazon VPC CNI plugin](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/pod-networking.html)
- integrates tightly with security groups and VPC networking
- not suitable for high density clusters (with many small pods on big nodes)
- other plugins [should still work](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/alternate-cni-plugins.html) but will require extra work
---
## Digital Ocean (initial setup)
- Install `doctl`
- Generate API token (in web console)
- Set up the CLI authentication:
```bash
doctl auth init
```
(It will ask you for the API token)
- Check the list of regions and pick one:
```bash
doctl compute region list
```
(If you don't specify the region later, it will use `nyc1`)
---
## Digital Ocean (create cluster)
- Create the cluster:
```bash
doctl kubernetes cluster create my-do-cluster [--region xxx1]
```
- Wait 5 minutes
- Update `kubeconfig`:
```bash
kubectl config use-context do-xxx1-my-do-cluster
```
- The cluster comes with some components (like Cilium) but no metrics server
---
## Digital Ocean (cleanup)
- List clusters (if you forgot its name):
```bash
doctl kubernetes cluster list
```
- Delete the cluster:
```bash
doctl kubernetes cluster delete my-do-cluster
```
---
## GKE (initial setup)
- Install `gcloud`
- Login:
```bash
gcloud auth init
```
- Create a "project":
```bash
gcloud projects create my-gke-project
gcloud config set project my-gke-project
```
- Pick a [region](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones/)
(example: `europe-west1`, `us-west1`, ...)
---
## GKE (create cluster)
- Create the cluster:
```bash
gcloud container clusters create my-gke-cluster --region us-west1 --num-nodes=2
```
(without `--num-nodes` you might exhaust your IP address quota!)
- The first time you try to create a cluster in a given project, you get an error
- you need to enable the Kubernetes Engine API
- the error message gives you a link
- follow the link and enable the API (and billing)
<br/>(it's just a couple of clicks and it's instantaneous)
- Clutser should be ready in a couple of minutes
---
## GKE (cleanup)
- List clusters (if you forgot its name):
```bash
gcloud container clusters list
```
- Delete the cluster:
```bash
gcloud container clusters delete my-gke-cluster --region us-west1
```
- Delete the project (optional):
```bash
gcloud projects delete my-gke-project
```
---
## GKE (notes)
- Well-rounded product overall
(it used to be one of the best managed Kubernetes offerings available;
now that many other providers entered the game, that title is debatable)
- The cluster comes with many add-ons
- Versions lag a bit:
- latest minor version (e.g. 1.18) tends to be unsupported
- previous minor version (e.g. 1.17) supported through alpha channel
- previous versions (e.g. 1.14-1.16) supported
---
## Scaleway (initial setup)
- After creating your account, make sure you set a password or get an API key
(by default, it uses email "magic links" to sign in)
- Install `scw`
(you need [CLI v2](https://github.com/scaleway/scaleway-cli/tree/v2#Installation), which in beta as of May 2020)
- Generate the CLI configuration with `scw init`
(it will prompt for your API key, or email + password)
---
## Scaleway (create cluster)
- Create the cluster:
```bash
k8s cluster create name=my-kapsule-cluster version=1.18.3 cni=cilium \
default-pool-config.node-type=DEV1-M default-pool-config.size=3
```
- After less than 5 minutes, cluster state will be `ready`
(check cluster status with e.g. `scw k8s cluster list` on a wide terminal
)
- Add connection information to your `.kube/config` file:
```bash
scw k8s kubeconfig install `CLUSTERID`
```
(the cluster ID is shown by `scw k8s cluster list`)
---
class: extra-details
## Scaleway (automation)
- If you want to obtain the cluster ID programmatically, this will do it:
```bash
scw k8s cluster list
# or
CLUSTERID=$(scw k8s cluster list -o json | \
jq -r '.[] | select(.name="my-kapsule-cluster") | .id')
```
---
## Scaleway (cleanup)
- Get cluster ID (e.g. with `scw k8s cluster list`)
- Delete the cluster:
```bash
scw cluster delete cluster-id=$CLUSTERID
```
- Warning: as of May 2020, load balancers have to be deleted separately!
---
## Scaleway (notes)
- The `create` command is a bit more complex than with other providers
(you must specify the Kubernetes version, CNI plugin, and node type)
- To see available versions and CNI plugins, run `scw k8s version list`
- As of May 2020, Kapsule supports:
- multiple CNI plugins, including: cilium, calico, weave, flannel
- Kubernetes versions 1.15 to 1.18
- multiple container runtimes, including: Docker, containerd, CRI-O
- To see available node types and their price, check their [pricing page](
https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/)
