Deploy a Kubernetes Cluster

PREV: Setup <==> NEXT: Deploy a Fabric Network

---

With cloud-native Fabric, all the components can run directly on your development workstation. In this exercise, you will configure:

• A local kind cluster, running Kubernetes in Docker.

• A local Ingress controller, routing traffic into the cluster at the *.localho.st virtual DNS domain.

• A local Container Registry, allowing you to upload chaincode Docker images to the cluster.

Ready?

just check-setup 

Kubernetes IN Docker (KIND)

• Set the cluster ingress domain and target k8s namespace. The localho.st domain is a public DNS wildcard resolver mapping *.localho.st to 127.0.0.1.

export WORKSHOP_INGRESS_DOMAIN=localho.st
export WORKSHOP_NAMESPACE=test-network

• Create a kind cluster, Nginx ingress, and local container registry:

just kind

• Open a new terminal window and observe the target namespace:

# KIND will set the current kubectl context in ~/.kube/config 
kubectl cluster-info

k9s -n test-network

Trouble?

• Run KIND on a multipass VM on your local system
• Run KIND on an EC2 instance at AWS

Take it Further:

• Run the workshop on an IKS or EKS Cloud Kubernetes cluster.
• Run the workshop on an AWS VM, using your AWS account and an EC2 #cloud-config.
