Introduction

Setting up a Kubernetes Cluster

There are several ways how to set up a Kubernetes Cluster. Find an example from the following chapters.

The basic step which can be followed to install the Kubernetes cluster on Centos are:

Install Docker on all CentOS 7 VMs

...

Update the package database

Code Block
sudo yum check-update

...

Install the dependencies

Code Block
sudo yum install -y yum-utils device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2

...

Add and enable the official Docker Repository to CentOS 7

Code Block
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo

Install the latest Docker version on CentOS 7

Code Block
sudo yum install docker-ce

...

A successful installation output will be concluded with a Complete!
You may be prompted to accept the GPG key. This is to verify that the fingerprint matches. The format will look as follows. If correct, accept it.

Code Block

...

Manage Docker service
Now Docker is installed, but the service is not yet running. Start and enable Docker using the commands. 

Code Block
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

...

To confirm that Docker is active and running use:

Code Block
sudo systemctl status docker

Set up the Kubernetes Repository

...

Since the Kubernetes packages aren’t present in the official CentOS 7 repositories, we will need to add a new repository file. Use the following command to create the file and open it for editing:

Code Block
sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/kubernetes.repo

Once the file is open, press I key to enter insert mode, and paste the following contents:

Code Block
[kubernetes]
name=Kubernetes
baseurl=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/repos/kubernetes-el7-x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/yum-key.gpg https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/rpm-package-key.gpg

Once pasted, press escape to exit insert mode. Then enter :x to save the file and exit.

...

Install Kubelet on CentOS 7

  1. The first core module that we need to install on every node is Kubelet. Use the following command to do so:

    Code Block
    sudo yum install -y kubelet

Install kubeadm and kubectl on CentOS 7

kubeadm, the next core module, which has to be installed. Use the following command:

Code Block
sudo yum install -y kubeadm

(Note that kubeadm automatically installs kubectl as a dependency)
