Step By Step on How to use terraform to deploy a new EKS Cluster and then Deploy Kasten K10 and access

Resource - https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/terraform/gke?in=terraform/kubernetes

Step 1 - Deploy GKE Cluster

Navigate to code repository for GKE Deployment

cd learn-terraform-provision-gke-cluster 

Provision the GKE Cluster with the following command

terraform apply

The above will run through the code and confirm that terraform will deploy a total number of resources (2-node separately managed node pool GKE cluster using Terraform. This GKE cluster will be distributed across multiple zones for high availability. it will also create VPC) you should respond "yes" to this in the "enter a value" prompt if you wish to auto approve this you could run

terraform apply --auto-approve

The above process will likely take around 5-10 minutes to complete successfully

Configure access to your GKE Cluster with kubectl

gcloud container clusters get-credentials $(terraform output -raw kubernetes_cluster_name) --region $(terraform output -raw region)

confirm now that you have connected to the correct GKE Cluster with the following

kubectl get nodes

You can also check the contexts available within the KUBECONFIG file by using the following command

kubectl config get-contexts

At this stage we have a fully working Kubernetes Cluster running in Google Cloud

We now want to deploy Kasten K10 with some configuration specifically for GKE

cd .. 
cd helm 
cd "Google GKE"

now we can run the following to create a new namespace and deploy K10 via a helm chart.

terraform apply 

terraform apply --auto-approve

you can check the process of the installation with the following command

kubectl get pods -n kasten-io -w

when all pods are ready then you can obtain the public IP to access the K10 dashboard with the following command

kubectl get svc -n kasten-io

Clean up your workspace

Note: make sure you are in the correct path to run this you should be in

cd learn.terraform.provision-gke-cluster

To delete your cluster you can simply run the following command:

terraform destroy

or to avoid prompt

terraform destroy --auto-approve

We then also need to remove the context and cluster from our KUBECONFIG file, first we need to find the detail we need

kubectl config get-contexts

then delete context

kubectl config delete-context <Insert name>

then delete cluster

kubectl config delete-cluster <Insert name>
