Kubernetes for Grad Students

Kubernetes Tutorial for the PS2 group meetings at UC Berkeley.

Slides can be found here.

Prerequisites

Linux users - you only need docker installed. You can then use the tutorial docker image:

# Make sure you're logged in to DockerHub
docker login

# Run docker image for the tutorial
./run_tutorial.sh

If you do not wish to use the container, see instructions below.

Mac/WSL/Linux users - Please install:

1. Docker (Mac / Windows). After installation:

   # Make sure you're logged in to DockerHub
   docker login

2. Kind - utility that we use to run the Kubernetes cluster.

   # Linux/WSL
   curl -Lo ./kind https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/dl/v0.12.0/kind-linux-amd64
   chmod +x ./kind
   mv ./kind /usr/local/bin/kind
   

   # Mac
   brew install kind
   

3. Kubectl - utility to interact with Kubernetes clusters.

   # Linux/WSL
   curl -LO https://dl.k8s.io/release/v1.23.0/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
   chmod +x kubectl
   mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
   
   kubectl version --client
   

   # Mac
   brew install kubectl
   

4. (Optional, but highly recommended) Setup bash autocompletion for kubectl. This will save you countless copy-pastes.

If you would like to build your own images, please make sure you are signed into your DockerHub account by running docker login.
