Creating a Cluster: Creating an S3 Bucket and Installing kOps
In this lesson, we will take our first steps towards creating a cluster by creating an S3 bucket and installing kops.
We'll cover the following...
Naming the cluster
We’ll start by deciding the name of our cluster. We’ll call it devops23.k8s.local
. The latter part of the name (.k8s.local
) is mandatory if we do not have a DNS. kOps uses this naming convention to decide whether to create a gossip-based cluster or to rely on a publicly available domain.
If this would be a “real” production cluster, you would probably have a DNS for it, or if you have your own DNS and you are planning to use it to set up cluster, there will be minor additional steps to the things we have done so far, please ...
