For our cluster we will be creating 3 virtual machines, each with 1CPU, 1GB RAM, 2GB Storage. Nodes are just virtual machines on Kubernetes working in sync. K3sup uses SSH under the hood, so make sure you have SSH service on your machine. Computing and Technology Services (CTS) is pleased to announce that Microsoft Teams is now available for employees and students at Duquesne An online collaboration tool that is part of the University’s Office 365 suite of services, Teams provides a collaborative workspace that features instant messaging, meetings, audio or video calls, and. It will bootstrap Kubernetes cluster on our VMs using K3s within a minute! 🚀 To abstract all that we will be installing a handy CLI called k3sup. We talked about K3s but it can be daunting to set up if you just want a quick hands on with Kubernetes. With the CLI, you can spawn VMs within minutes allocating optimal CPU, memory and disk space. Multipass is a command line tool to orchestrate virtual Ubuntu instances on your local machine. If you are interested in what makes K3s so light, you can watch the talk on K3s under the hood. But with a full-blown K8s running on your local machine, you will soon hit a wall if you want to play with multi-node cluster.įor tackling this very issue, we will be looking into how we can setup a lightweight Kubernetes cluster using K3s and Multipass for our VMs. vmuser can be any (dummy) username, it will later be used to log into the VM. ssh-keygen -C vmuser -f multipass-ssh-key.

It can be your home directory, but any other will do. There are a lot of tools that allow you to setup a local Kubernetes cluster in no time. On your host machine (the one with multipass installed), change to the directory from where you will be launching multipass vms.
