Now knowing the basic of kubernetes, its about to do a hands-on with the installation & configuration of kubernetes.

Infra Considerations to make before starting with the install, 

Where to install?

• Cloud
  • IaaS – Virtual Machines
  • PaaS – Managed Service
• On-Prem
• Bare metal
• Virtual Machines

References – pick right solution

Additional Considerations

• Network Cluster
• Scalability
• High Availability
• Disaster Recovery

Installation Methods

• Desktop Installation
  • for poc, dev needs
• Mini kube
• kubeadm – a tool
• Manually
  • All by us from scratch, a good way to learn details here 
  • and some references here 

Installation Requirements using kubeadm

• System Requirements
  • OS – Linux
  • 2 CPU
  • 2 GB RAM
  • Swap disabled
• Container Runtime
  • CRI – interface for container runtime
  • Docker
• Networking
  • Connectivity across all nodes and master
• Ports

  • Componetes	Ports	Used by
    API	6443	All
    etcd	2379-2380	API/etc
    Scheduler	10251	Self
    Controller Manager	10252	Self
    kubelet	10250	Control Plane
    NodePort	30000-32767	All

• Software
  • Github
    • download from here
  • Linux distro
    • yum and apt
• Packages
  • kubelet
  • kubeadm
  • kubectl
  • Container Runtime – Docker
  • Note: All these are required in all of the nodes

High level steps of building your cluster

• Install Kubernetes
• Create your Cluster
• Configure Pod & N/W
• Join Nodes to cluster.
