  • "region" default is "EU-East-1". "EU-West-1" supports only Bare-metal E5-1620v4
  • "lb_plan_id" default is "93" SSD Smart8
  • "node_plan_id" default is "96" SSD Smart16, all plans are available here
  • "private_key" & "public_key" are your private and public SSH keys needed for the deployment

Kubernetes version

You can define required Kubernetes version at "config.yaml" file. The default is "v1.14", but latest now is "v1.15".

terraform apply -auto-approve
terraform output -json > tf.json
kubeone install config.yaml -t tf.json

If you get no errors here then you have succesfully have created HA kubernetes cluster.

Control remote Kubernetes cluster locally

Make sure you have installed Kubernetes CLI tools localy.

kubectl version

Copy kubernetes cluster config to local workstation

scp -r -i ~/.ssh/deployment root@control_plane_ip:/root/.kube $HOME

Replace "control_plane_ip" with the one of nodes public IP.

kubectl get nodes
kubectl describe nodes
