Microlab Kubernetes Cluster Setup Instructions

Requirements:

• A compatible Linux host. The Kubernetes project provides generic instructions for Linux distributions based on Debian and Red Hat, and those distributions without a package manager.
• 2 GB or more of RAM per machine (any less will leave little room for your apps).
• 2 CPUs or more.
• Full network connectivity between all machines in the cluster (public or private network is fine).
• Unique hostname, MAC address, and product_uuid for every node. See here for more details.
• Certain ports are open on your machines. See here for more details.
• Swap disabled. You MUST disable swap in order for the kubelet to work properly. (We will be covering that in step 4)

NOTE: All the bullets except for the last one should already be set by the time you get your virtual machine from microlab.
