How to Set Up a Kubernetes Cluster using kind: A Comprehensive Guide..

The Growing Popularity of Kubernetes: What You Should Know..

Kubernetes is emerging as an important tool in the technology industry. Over 83 percent of developers surveyed in 2023 stated that they use it for container orchestration. Scaling, application deployment, and management of containerized applications are easy tasks with Kubernetes. Without it, the management of these applications is difficult, often resulting in deployment problems and resource waste.

Now let’s start .

pre-requisite

• AWS EC2

  t2. Medium

• Docker

• Kind

• Kubernetes Config.yml

1. Install Docker

    sudo apt-get install docker.io -y
    sudo usermod -aG docker $USER && newgrp docker 
    sudo reboot
   

2. Install Kubectl

    curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
    chmod +x kubectl
    sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin/
    kubectl version --client
   

3. Install KIND

    curl -Lo ./kind "https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/dl/v0.22.0/kind-linux-amd64"
    chmod +x kind
    sudo mv kind /usr/local/bin/
    kind version # verify kind is installed or not
   

   

4. Now we need to create a config.yml file to create a Cluster

mkdir Kubernetes_file 
cd Kubernetes_file
vim config.yml

kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
nodes:
- role: control-plane
  image: kindest/node:v1.32.1
- role: worker
  image: kindest/node:v1.32.1
- role: worker
  image: kindest/node:v1.32.1

kind create cluster --config config.yml --name <any name as you want >

kubectl get nodes
