Create and Manage Production Kubernetes Cluster with ClusterAPI

To get started with Cluster API, you first need to create a management cluster. Here we're creating a local Kind cluster and installing Cluster API into it, as well as CLIs for both Kubernetes (Kubectl) and Cluster API (Clusterctl).

Setup

First you need to install:

1. Docker
2. Kubectl
3. Clusterctl
4. Kind

# Export environment variables
export CLUSTER_TOPOLOGY=true
export EXP_CLUSTER_RESOURCE_SET=true
export EXP_MACHINE_POOL=true

# Install Core ClusterAPI
clusterctl init

Which cloud provider do you use?

• Google Cloud
• AWS
• Azure
