Setting up Kubernetes (K8s) Cluster on AWS Using KOPS

1.kops is a software use to create production ready k8s cluster in a cloud provider like AWS.

2. kOPS SUPPORTS MULTIPLE CLOUD PROVIDERS

3. Kops compete with managed kubernestes services like EKS, AKS and GKE

4. Kops is cheaper than the others.

5. Kops create production ready K8S.

6. KOPS create resources like: LoadBalancers, ASG, Launch Configuration, woker node Master node (CONTROL PLANE.

7. KOPS is IaaC

#!/bin/bash

1) Create Ubuntu EC2 instance in AWS

2a) create kops user

 sudo adduser kops
 sudo echo "kops  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/kops
 sudo su - kops

2a) install AWSCLI

sudo apt install awscli -y 
#or
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install unzip wget -y
sudo curl https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/awscli-bundle.zip -o awscli-bundle.zip
sudo apt install unzip python -y
sudo unzip awscli-bundle.zip
sudo ./awscli-bundle/install -i /usr/local/aws -b /usr/local/bin/aws

3) Install kops software on ubuntu instance:

#Install wget if not installed
sudo apt install wget -y
sudo wget https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/releases/download/v1.22.0/kops-linux-amd64
sudo chmod +x kops-linux-amd64
sudo mv kops-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/kops

4) Install kubectl

sudo curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl sudo chmod +x ./kubectl sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl aws s3 mb s3://nubonglegah.k8.local aws s3 ls

5) Create an IAM role from AWS Console or CLI with below Policies.

AmazonEC2FullAccess 
AmazonS3FullAccess
IAMFullAccess 
AmazonVPCFullAccess

Then Attach IAM role to ubuntu server from Console Select KOPS Server --> Actions --> Instance Settings --> Attach/Replace IAM Role --> Select the role which You Created. --> Save.

6) create an S3 bucket Execute below commond in KOPS Server use unique bucket name if you get bucket name exists error.

aws s3 mb s3://class21.k8s.local
aws s3 ls

ex: s3://nubong.k8s.local
 
Expose environment variable:

# Add env variables in bashrc
vi .bashrc

# Give Unique Name And S3 Bucket which you created.
export NAME=class.k8s.local
export KOPS_STATE_STORE=s3://class28.local

source .bashrc

7) Create sshkeys before creating cluster

ssh-keygen

8) Create kubernetes cluster definitions on S3 bucket

kops create cluster --zones us-east-2c --networking weave --master-size t2.medium --master-count 1 --node-size t2.medium --node-count=2 ${NAME}

kops create secret --name ${NAME} sshpublickey admin -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

9) Create kubernetes cluser

 kops update cluster ${NAME} --yes

10) Validate your cluster(KOPS will take some time to create cluster ,Execute below commond after 3 or 4 mins)

   kops validate cluster

11) connect to the master node

sh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa ubuntu@ipAddress
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa ubuntu@3.90.203.23

11) To list nodes

  kubectl get nodes 

12) To Delete Cluster

kops delete cluster --name=${NAME} --state=${KOPS_STATE_STORE} --yes

====================================================================================================

13 # IF you want to SSH to Kubernetes Master or Nodes Created by KOPS. You can SSH From KOPS_Server

sh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa ubuntu@ipAddress ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa ubuntu@3.90.203.23
