Overview of this book

Docker containers promise to radicalize the way developers and operations build, deploy, and manage applications running on the cloud. Kubernetes provides the orchestration tools you need to realize that promise in production. Kubernetes on AWS guides you in deploying a production-ready Kubernetes cluster on the AWS platform. You will then discover how to utilize the power of Kubernetes, which is one of the fastest growing platforms for production-based container orchestration, to manage and update your applications. Kubernetes is becoming the go-to choice for production-grade deployments of cloud-native applications. This book covers Kubernetes from first principles. You will start by learning about Kubernetes' powerful abstractions - Pods and Services - that make managing container deployments easy. This will be followed by a guided tour through setting up a production-ready Kubernetes cluster on AWS, while learning the techniques you need to successfully deploy and manage your own applications. By the end of the book, you will have gained plenty of hands-on experience with Kubernetes on Amazon Web Services. You will also have picked up some tips on deploying and managing applications, keeping your cluster and applications secure, and ensuring that your whole system is reliable and resilient to failure.

Installing Kubeadm

Next, we will install the packages that we need to set up a Kubernetes control plane on this host. These packages are described in the following list:

  • kubelet: The node agent that Kubernetes uses to control the container runtime. This is used to run all the other components of the control plane within Docker containers.
  • kubeadm: This utility is responsible for bootstrapping a Kubernetes cluster.
  • kubectl: The Kubernetes command-line client, which will allow us to interact with the Kubernetes API server.

First, add the signing key for the apt repository that hosts the Kubernetes packages, as follows:

$ curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
OK  

Next add the Kubernetes apt repository, as follows:

$ sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main'  

Then, resynchronize the package...
