--- # Introduction As I was writing up [Using Helm](/using-helm) I realized I should have written about setting up your cluster before getting into Helm. This isn't going to be a guide on how to setup Kubernetes from scratch because there are plenty out there already. My intent here is just an overview on how I've set up my clusters so far. # Setup ## Google Cloud I use [Google Cloud](https://cloud.google.com/) as my cloud provider because it offers great service at great prices. I have three environments: Development / QA / Production. Each environment consists of three clusters: 1. Core Cluster
1. Ingress Cluster
1. External Cluster ## Development My development environment consists of three VMs running [Ubuntu Server](https://ubuntu.com/server): 1. Core Cluster
1. Ingress Cluster
1. External Cluster I created these VMs using [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/) using [this](https://github.com/dgkanatsios/vagrant-k8s-cluster) repo. ## Production My production environment consists of three projects: 1. Core Project
1. Ingress Project
1. External Project ### Core Project The core project consists of three GKE clusters: 1. `core-dev`
1. `core-prod`
1. `core-prod-b` #### `core-dev` The `core-dev` cluster is used during development before I deploy into production. #### `core-prod` The `core-prod` cluster is where all my core applications run. #### `core-prod-b` The `core-prod-b` cluster is used as a backup if anything happens with my primary production cluster. ### Ingress Project The ingress project consists of two GKE clusters: 1. `ingress-dev`
1. `ingress-prod` #### `ingress-dev` The `ingress-dev` cluster is used during development before I deploy into production. #### `ingress-prod` The `ingress-prod` cluster is where all my ingress applications run. ### External Project The external project consists of two GKE clusters: 1. `external-dev`
1. `external-prod` #### `external-dev` The `external-dev` cluster is used during development before I deploy into production. #### `external-prod` The `external-prod` cluster is where all my external applications run. # Architecture I've drawn up an architecture diagram that shows how my environments look like:  ## Why so many clusters? There are lots of different ways you can setup your environment. I've chosen this particular setup because it allows me to do several things: * Isolate ingress components from core components.
* Isolate external components from core components.
* Use different node sizes for different components.
* Have multiple ingress controllers.
* Have multiple external controllers.
* Have multiple load balancers.
* Have multiple DNS entries.
* Use different versions of Kubernetes.
* Test new versions without affecting production.
* Test new releases without affecting production.
* Test new releases without affecting other applications.
* Fail over applications without downtime.
* Fail over applications without affecting other applications. ## Why do you need so many projects? It might seem like overkill but having multiple projects allows me to easily manage permissions. For example: If I want someone who only works on ingress components they only need access to my ingress project. If I want someone who only works on external components they only need access to my external project. If I want someone who only works on core components they only need access to my core project. ## Why do you need so many clusters? It might seem like overkill but having multiple clusters allows me to easily manage upgrades. For example: If I want to upgrade Kubernetes version on all my environments I can do it one at a time without affecting anything else. If I want to upgrade Kubernetes version on all my environments I can test it first on dev before upgrading prod. If I want to upgrade Kubernetes version on all my environments I can test it first on dev before upgrading prod without affecting anything else. # Conclusion That concludes this post about setting up your cluster. In [the next post](/using-helm) we'll talk about using Helm. <|file_sep|># Site settings

--- # Introduction In this post we're going to cover how I use [Google Kubernetes Engine](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/) or GKE as part of my setup. # Setup Before we get started you'll need: * [A Google Cloud account](https://cloud.google.com/)
* [A Google Cloud SDK account](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/)
* [kubectl installed](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/)
* [Helm installed](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/)
* [Terraform installed](https://learn.hashicorp.com/terraform/getting-started/install.html) ## Configure Google Cloud SDK We'll start by configuring our Google Cloud SDK account: $ gcloud init Once you're done configuring you should be able to see your projects using: $ gcloud projects list --format yaml | less -RFXSsN2m0P5 --tabs=2 You should see something similar: ...
+----------------------+----------------------------------+--------+
| Name | ID | Loca |
+----------------------+----------------------------------+--------+
| kylelechler-core-dev | *********** | us |
| kylelechler-core-pro | *********** | us |
| kylelechler-core-pro | *********** | us |
| kylelechler-ingres | *********** | us |
| kylelechler-ingres | *********** | us |
| kylelechler-extern | *********** | us |
| kylelechler-extern | *********** | us |
+----------------------+----------------------------------+--------+ ## Configure gcloud CLI Next we'll configure our gcloud CLI by creating some aliases so we don't have type out everything each time: bash title="~/.bashrc"
alias gcp='gcloud config set compute/zone us-central1-a'
alias gce='gcp && gcloud config set project'
alias gcem='gce kylelechler-core-dev && gcloud container clusters get-credentials core-dev'
alias gcelp='gce kylelechler-core-pro && gcloud container clusters get-credentials core-prod'
alias gcelpb='gce kylelechler-core-pro && gcloud container clusters get-credentials core-prod-b'
alias gcen='gce kylelechler-ingres && gcloud container clusters get-credentials ingress-dev'
alias gcelpn='gce kylelechler-ingres && gcloud container clusters get-credentials ingress-prod'
alias gcexm='gce kylelechler-extern && gcloud container clusters get-credentials external-dev'
alias gcexpn='gce kylelechler-extern && gcloud container clusters get-credentials external-prod' Now we can create our projects using Terraform: bash title="main.tf"
provider "google" {
} resource "google_project" "core" {
} resource "google_project" "ingress" {
} resource "google_project" "external" {
} output "projects" {
value = {
core_dev = google_project.core.project_id,
core_prod = google_project.core.project_id,
ingress_dev = google_project.core.project_id,
ingress_prod = google_project.core.project_id,
external_dev = google_project.core.project_id,
external_prod = google_project.core.project_id,
}
} Now let's apply our Terraform configuration: bash title="~/.bashrc"
export TF_VAR_core_dev=kylelechler-core-dev
TF_VAR_core_prod=kylelechler-core-pro
TF_VAR_ingress_dev=kylelechler-ingres
TF_VAR_ingress_prod=kylelechler-ingres
TF_VAR_external_dev=kylelechler-extern
TF_VAR_external_prod=kylelechler-extern
TF_VAR_billing_account=************
terraform init main.tf
terraform apply main.tf We should see something similar: bash title="~/.bashrc"
google_project.core_dev: Creating...
google_project.core_dev: Creation complete after XXmXXs (ID=************)
google_project.core_prod: Creating...
google_project.core_prod: Creation complete after XXmXXs (ID=************)
google_project.external_dev: Creating...
google_project.external_dev: Creation complete after XXmXXs (ID=************)
google_project.external_prod: Creating...
google_project.external_prod: Creation complete after XXmXXs (ID=************)

google_project.influx_dev: Creation complete after XXmXXs (ID=************)
google_project.influx_prod: Creating...
google_project.influx_prod: Creation complete after XXmXXs (ID=************)
Apply complete! Resources: XXXX added, XXXX changed, XXXX destroyed.
Outputs:
projects = {
core_dev = "***********",
core_prod = "***********",

exten_prod =
