wksctl allows simple creation of a Kubernetes cluster given a set of IP addresses and an SSH key. It can be run in a standalone environment but is best used via a GitOps approach in which cluster and machine descriptions are stored in Git and the state of the cluster tracks changes to the descriptions.
Its features include:
- simple creation of Kubernetes clusters
- manage cluster and machine descriptions using Git
- manage addons like Weave Net or Flux
- Sealed Secret integration
- Download the OS specific
wksctlrelease package from the release page - Unpack and add the
wksctlbinary to your path
For example:
cd <download dir>
tar xfz wksctl-0.7.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
chmod +x wksctl
sudo mv wksctl /usr/local/bin/Check out our Get Started doc to dive deeper into the different ways to operate wksctl.
We put together a couple of guides to get you up and running with WKS in combination with Footloose, Vagrant and others!
