CoreOS and Kubernetes on Amazon EC2

This how-to guide describes how to set-up a CoreOS cluster running Kubernetes on Amazon EC2.

The provision-ec2.sh script will create :

• 4 instances (1 kubernetes-master & 3 kubernetes-minion)
• 2 security groups (KubernetesMasterSecurityGroup,KubernetesMinionSecurityGroup)

This is currently a work in progress

Notes

This documentation is based on the [how-to guide provided by kelseyhightowaer] (https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-coreos) and the [Deis provisionning documentation] (https://github.com/deis/deis/tree/master/contrib/ec2)

Todos

• Create a VPC with custom subnets and assign privates IP to instances
• Edit the apiserver config and set either the machines param or a cloudprovider param

Install the AWS Command Line Interface:

$ pip install awscli
Downloading/unpacking awscli
  Downloading awscli-1.3.6.tar.gz (173kB): 173kB downloaded
  ...

Configure aws-cli

Run aws configure to set your AWS credentials:

$ aws configure
AWS Access Key ID [None]: ***************
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: ************************
Default region name [None]: us-west-1
Default output format [None]:

Upload keys

If required, upload a new keypair to AWS. In the following example, the key name is "Kubernetes".

$ export AWS_PUBLIC_KEY = '~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub'
$ export AWS_KEY_NAME = 'Kubernetes'
$ aws ec2 import-key-pair --key-name $AWS_KEY_NAME --public-key-material file://$AWS_PUBLIC_KEY

Configure config.json

• Change the "KeyPair" value to "Kubernetes", or to another key you would like to connect with.
• Browse to https://discovery.etcd.io/new and set the token provided into the "DiscoveryURL" value.

Run the provision script

$ ./provision-ec2.sh
{
    "StackId": "arn:aws:cloudformation:eu-west-1:584689320675:stack/kubernetes/8bc79630-2f80-11e4-bf62-507bb00bdc04"
}
Your Kubernetes cluster has successfully deployed to AWS CloudFormation.
