What The Hack - Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes Hack

Challenge 2 – Deploy Kubernetes cluster locally

Back - Home - Next

Introduction

In this challenge lets built another cluster that will act has a remote cluster that will be Arc enabled. The cluster is going to be deployed locally via minikube.

Once this challenge is complete, we will have a 2nd cluster deployed and ready to be managed by Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes. With minikube cluster deployed, we will be able to manage the cluster centrally via the Azure portal.

Challenge

  1. Deploy a minikube cluster locally
    • Run kubectl get nodes -o wide with the kubectl context being that of a newly minikube cluster to verify cluster is ready to be Arc enabled.
  2. If minikube cluster is not able to be deployed:
    • Deploy an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster as a remote cluster that will be Arc enabled.
    • Another alternative, is to deploy a Kubernetes cluster locally via Ranger K3s.

Success Criteria

This challenge will be complete when a 2nd cluster is successfully deployed and ready to be enabled for Azure Arc enabled Kuberenetes.
