First of all, have a look to JenkinsX to know more about it.
Jx (Jenkins X CLI)
Google Cloud SDK (We will use GKE, but you can use any other AWS, AKS etc.).
Kubectl (Kubernetes command-line tool)
Git (Distributed version control system)
By instaling Jx you also should get some tools installed such as kubectl, Helm and Cloud providers, for more info about what happening after you install Jx visit this link
In order to double check run the following command:
> jx version
jx 1.3.620
jenkins x platform 0.0.2940
kubectl v1.10.7
helm client v2.11.0+g2e55dbe
helm server v2.11.0+g2e55dbe
git git version 2.10.1
At this point you are ready to go!
if you do not have one, please create one for free
Set you gcloud account locally from your terminal run
gcloud container clusters get-credentials ninjabelt --zone asia-east1-a --project cinq-jx-dojo
COMMON_GMAIL: jxdojocommon@gmail.com/commonpassword
COMMON_GIT: jxdojocommon/commonpassw0rd
** This is necessary because you may have other projects, and wen you run Jx create, is very important that you have set up the right gcloud project.
Using JX to create a cluster into your gcloud project
jx init --namespace=jxdojo --provider=gke --username=jxdojocommon@gmail.com --verbose
jx install --default-admin-password=cinqtechjxdojo --default-environment-prefix=cinqtech-jx --environment-git-owner=cinqtechnologies --git-api-token=bd3ca842d962e660a6be951ba2e986a5cb3d035e --git-username=cinqtechdojo-jx-bot --install-only --namespace=jxdojo --provider=gke --username=jxdojocommon@gmail.com --skip-setup-tiller --skip-ingress --no-default-environments
