1) Create Project
gcloud projects create $PROJECT_ID
2) Enable billing
gcloud alpha billing projects link $PROJECT_ID --billing-account XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX
3) Enable compute
gcloud alpha service-management enable container --project $PROJECT_ID
gcloud alpha service-management enable test-container.sandbox.googleapis.com --project $PROJECT_ID
gcloud alpha service-management enable compute-component.googleapis.com --project $PROJECT_ID
4) Start k8s cluster
$ cluster/kube-up.sh
- Have the gcloud sdk installed; you should be able to enter
gcloud version. - Create a new GCP project to avoid config collisions with existing projects. Make sure the project is billable.
Set these as desired:
# Specify the case-sensitive Project ID, either
# an existing ID or a new one.
export PROJECT_ID=<some-project-name, e.g. binary-pumpkin-toast>
# Workspace used by this tutorial to create files.
TEMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
Optional, for visiting link that take shell vars as args:
# Handy to open URLs from command line.
BROWSER=/opt/google/chrome/chrome # chromium-browser
# The GCP developer console
CONSOLE_URL=https://console.cloud.google.com
This section covers things a user would likely already have done - e.g. choose a project, install gcloud, start a k8s cluster, compile the service-catalog, etc. This may inform an integration test later.
This section takes around 5 minutes to perform, while the rest of the (key generation, kubectl resource instantiation, etc.) takes well under a minute.
gcloud config set account <someuser>@google.com
gcloud auth login
If not already created, do so:
gcloud projects create $PROJECT_ID
Point to it.
gcloud config set project $PROJECT_ID
gcloud config list
Verify billingEnabled: true for your project
(see how to enable billing.
gcloud alpha billing accounts list
gcloud alpha billing accounts projects describe $PROJECT_ID
Before bringing up a cluster, one must enable these alpha features.
gcloud alpha service-management enable container --project $PROJECT_ID
gcloud alpha service-management enable test-container.sandbox.googleapis.com --project $PROJECT_ID
gcloud alpha service-management enable compute-component.googleapis.com --project $PROJECT_ID
Bring up a Google Computer Engine (GCE) cluster using the latest official k8s release. Within .../k8s.io/kubernetes directory:
$ cluster/kube-up.sh
This should conclude with something like:
Kubernetes master is running at FOO GLBCDefaultBackend is running at FOO/... Heapster is running at FOO/api/v1/... KubeDNS is running at FOO/api/v1/...
etc.
