This is a personal project, transforming the project by @kelseyhightower to deploy Kubernetes on Azure, the Hard Way. Kudos to @kelseyhightower for doing all the hard work!
This tutorial walks you through setting up Kubernetes the hard way. This guide is not for people looking for a fully automated command to bring up a Kubernetes cluster. If that's you then check out Azure Kubernetes Service, or the Getting Started Guides.
Kubernetes The Hard Way is optimized for learning, which means taking the long route to ensure you understand each task required to bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster.
The results of this tutorial should not be viewed as production ready, and may receive limited support from the community, but don't let that stop you from learning!
The target audience for this tutorial is someone planning to support a production Kubernetes cluster and wants to understand how everything fits together.
Kubernetes The Hard Way guides you through bootstrapping a highly available Kubernetes cluster with end-to-end encryption between components and RBAC authentication.
- Kubernetes 1.10.2
- cri-containerd Container Runtime 1.1.0
- CNI Container Networking 0.6.0
- etcd 3.3.5
This tutorial assumes you have access to Azure. While Azure is used for basic infrastructure requirements the lessons learned in this tutorial can be applied to other platforms (as the original project was built to run on the Google Cloud Platform.
