本文的注意事項:

1, 截止到2017.01.20, window上的kubernetes依然是實驗性的, 存在各種不可預知的bug, 如果遇到bug, 請到kubernetes的github上搜索issues來查詢解決辦法( Issues · kubernetes/kubernetes  https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues )

2, 截止到2017.01.20, 在操作下面教程的時候要注意, 各種命令操作請在管理員許可權的cmd或prowerShell下進行, 然後切換到C盤(系統盤), 如果在其他盤操作會失敗, 這是已知的當前bug

3, 文中會提示安裝docker-toolbox, 它會自動安裝所有docker, docker-compose, virtualbox等環境, 要安裝到C盤(系統盤), 其他盤的安裝會引起bug

4, 文中會提示把kubectl , minikube, etcd放到$PATH路徑中, 記得放到系統盤的路徑中, 最好是C盤根目錄, 然後把根目錄新增到系統環境$PATH中

5, 在啟動kubernetes時, 執行minikube start命令, 可能提示"xxx machine not found", 這種錯誤在issues中找到是因為上述安裝的virtualbox, minikube, docker, 當前操作的cmd的工作目錄等不是在C盤, 所以安裝時候請按照上述提示安裝; 如果提示"xxx fail", 很有可能是因為使用的docker-toolbox來安裝virtualbox的版本跟minikube和win10的版本不匹配, 建議到virtualbox官網下載最新的virtualbox版本 ( Downloads – Oracle VM VirtualBox  https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads )

Tutorial : Getting Started with Kubernetes on your Windows Laptop with Minikube

I have recently covered multiple posts (1 & 2)on getting started with Docker Swarm.

I personally like the simplicity of Docker Swarm and have found in my teaching experience with developers, that it was easier for most people to understand what Container Management solutions are all about when they see a few simple commands in Docker Swarm and are able to relate to stuff like scaling up/down, rolling updates, etc.

Personally I think if you are looking for a container management solution in today’s world, you have to invest your time in Kubernetes (k8s). There is no doubt about that because of multiple factors. To the best of my undestanding, these points include:

  • Great momentum in terms of activities & contribution at its Open Source Project
  • Decades of experience running its predecessor at Google
  • Support of multiple OS and infrastructure software vendors
  • Rate at which features are being released
  • Production readiness (Damn it, Pokemon Go met its scale due to Kubernetes)
  • Number of features available. Check out the list of features at the home page.

What this post is about?

I do not want to spend time explaining about what Kubernetes is and its building blocks like Pods, Replication Controllers, Services, Deployments and more. There are multiple articles on that and I suggest that you go through it.

I have written a couple of other articles that go through a high level overview of Kubernetes:

It is important that you go through some basic material on its concepts, so that we can directly get down into its commands.

The general perception about a management solution like Kubernetes is that it would require quite a bit of setup for you to try it out locally. What this means is that it would take some time to set it up but more than setting it up, you might probably get access to it only during staging phase or something like that. Ideally you want a similar environment in your development too, so that you are as close to what it takes to run your application. The implications of this is that you want it running on your laptop/desktop, where you are likely to do your development.

This was the goal behind the minikube project and the team has put in fantastic effort to help us setup and run Kubernetes on our development machines. This is as simple and portable as it can get. The tagline of minikube project says it all: “Run Kubernetes locally”.

Side Note: The design of the minikube logo makes for interesting reading.

This post is going to take you through setting up Minikube on your Windows development machine and then taking it for a Hello World spin to see a local Kubernetes cluster in action. Along the way, I will highlight my environment and what I had to do to get the experimental build of minikube working on my Windows machine. Yes, it is experimental software, but it works!

If you are not on Windows, the instructions to setup minikube on either your Linux machine or Mac machine are also available here. Check it out. You can then safely skip over the setup and go to the section where we do a quick Hello World to test drive Kubernetes locally.

Keep in mind that Minikube gives you a single node cluster that is running in a VM on your development machine.

Of course, once you are done with what you see in this blog, I strongly recommend that you also look at Managed Container Orchestration solutions like Google Container Engine.

Let’s get started now with installation of minikube. But first, we must make sure that our development machine has some of the pre-requisites required to run it. Do not ignore that!

Using VirtualBox and not Hyper-V

VirtualBox and Hyperv (which is available on Windows 10) do not make a happy pair and you are bound to run into situations where the tools get confused. I preferred to use VirtualBox and avoid all esoteric command-line switches that we need to provide to enable creation of the underlying Docker hosts, etc.

To disable Hyper-V, go to Turn Windows features on or off and you will see a dialog with list of Windows features as shown below. Navigate to the Hyper-V section and disable it completely.

This will require a restart to the machine to take effect and on my machine, it even ended up doing a Windows Update, configuring it and a good 10 minutes later, it was back up.

Great! We have everything now to get going.

Development Machine Environment

I am assuming that you have a setup that is similar to this. I believe, you should be fine on Windows 7 too and it would not have the HyperV stuff, instructions of which I will give in a while.

  • Windows 10 Laptop. VT-x/AMD-v virtualization must be enabled in BIOS.
  • Docker Toolbox v1.12.0. The toolbox sets up VirtualBox and I have gone with that.
  • kubectl command line utility. This is the CLI utility for the Kubernetes cluster and you need to install it and have it available in your PATH. To install the latest 1.4 release, do the following: Go to the browser and give the following URL : http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.4.0/bin/windows/amd64/kubectl.exe. This will download the kubectl CLI executable. Please make it available in the environment PATH variable.

Minikube installation

The first step is to take the kubectl.exe file that you downloaded in the previous step and place that in the C:\ folder.

Go to the Windows download link as shown below:

This will start downloading the v0.10.0 release of the executable. The file name is minikube-windows-amd64.exe. Just rename this to minikube.exeand place it in C:\ drive, alongside the kubectl.exe file from the previous section.

You are all set now to launch a local Kubernetes one-node cluster!

All the steps moving forward are being done in Powershell. Launch Powershell in Administrative mode (Ctrl-Shift-Enter) and navigate to C:\ drive where the kubectl.exe and minikube.exe files are present.

A few things to note

Let’s do our standard testing to validate our utilities.

If you go to your %HOMEPATH%\.minikube folder now, you will notice that several folders got created. Take a look!

There are multiple commands that Minikube supports. You can use the standard ` — help` option to see the list of commands that it has:

PS C:\> .\minikube --help
Minikube is a CLI tool that provisions and manages single-node Kubernetes clusters optimized for development workflows
Usage:
  minikube [command]
Available Commands:
  dashboard        Opens/displays the kubernetes dashboard URL for your local cluster

      --stderrthreshold=2: logs at or above this threshold go to stderr
      --v=0: log level for V logs
      --vmodule=: comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging
Use "minikube [command] --help" for more information about a command.

I have highlighted a couple of Global flags that you can use in all the commands for minikube. These flags are useful to see what is going on inside the hood at times and also for seeing the output on the standard output (console/command).

Minikube supports multiple versions of Kubernetes and the latest version is v1.4.0. To check out the different versions supported try out the following command:

PS C:\> .\minikube get-k8s-versions
The following Kubernetes versions are available:
        - v1.4.0
        - v1.3.7
        - v1.3.6
        - v1.3.5
        - v1.3.4
        - v1.3.3
        - v1.3.0

Starting our Cluster

We are now ready to launch our Kubernetes cluster locally. We will use thestart command for it.

Note: You might run into multiple issues while starting a cluster the first time. I have several of them and have created a section at the end of this blog post on Troubleshooting. Take a look at it, in case you run into any issues.

You can check out the help and description of the command/flags/options via the help option as shown below:

PS C:\> .\minikube.exe start --help

You will notice several Flags that you can provide to the start command and while there are some useful defaults, we are going to be a bit specific, so that we can better understand things.

We want to use Kubernetes v1.4.0 and while the VirtualBox driver is default on windows, we are going to be explicit about it. At the same time, we are going to use a couple of the Global Flags that we highlighted earlier, so that we can see what is going on under the hood.

All we need to do is give the following command (I have separated the flags on separate line for better readability). The output is also attached.

PS C:\> .\minikube.exe start --kubernetes-version="v1.4.0" 
                             --vm-driver="virtualbox" 
                             --show-libmachine-logs --alsologtostderr

Kubectl is now configured to use the cluster.
PS C:\>

Let us understand what it is doing behind the scenes in brief. I have also highlighted some of the key lines in the output above:

  1. It generates the certificates and then proceeds to provision a local Docker host. This will result in a VM created inside of VirtualBox.
  2. That host is provisioned with the boot2Docker ISO image.
  3. It does its magic of setting it up, assigning it an IP and all the works.
  4. Finally, it prints out a message that kubectl is configured to talk to your local Kubernetes cluster.

You can now check on the status of the local cluster via the status command:

PS C:\> .\minikube.exe status
minikubeVM: Running
localkube: Running

You can also use the kubectl CLI to get the cluster information:

To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.

Kubernetes Client and Server version

Let us do a quick check of the Kubernetes version at the client and server level. Execute the following command:

PS C:\> .\kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"4", GitVersion:"v1.4.0", GitCommit:"a16c0a7f71a6f93c7e0f222d961f4675cd97a
46b", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2016-09-26T18:16:57Z", GoVersion:"go1.6.3", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"windows/amd6
4"}
Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"4", GitVersion:"v1.4.0", GitCommit:"a16c0a7f71a6f93c7e0f222d961f4675cd97a
46b", GitTreeState:"dirty", BuildDate:"1970-01-01T00:00:00Z", GoVersion:"go1.7.1", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"
}

You will notice that both client and server are at version 1.4.

Cluster IP Address

You can get the IP address of the cluster via the ip command:

PS C:\> .\minikube.exe ip
192.168.99.100

Kubernetes Dashboard

You can launch the Kubernetes Dashboard at any point via the dashboardcommand as shown below:

PS C:\> .\minikube.exe dashboard

This will automatically launch the Dashboard in your local browser. However if you just want to nab the Dashboard URL, you can use the following flag:

There is a great post on how the Kubernetes Dashboard underwent a design change in version 1.4. It explains how the information is split up into respective sections i.e. Workloads , Services and Discovery, Storage and Configuration, which are present on the left-side menu and via which you can sequentially introspect more details of your cluster. All of this is provided by a nifty filter for the Namespace value above.

If you look at the Kubernetes dashboard right now, you will see that it indicates that nothing has been deployed. Let us step back and think what we have so far. We have launched a single-node cluster .. right? Click on the Node link and you will see that information:

The above node information can also be obtained by using the kubectl CLI to get the list of nodes.

PS C:\> .\kubectl.exe get nodes
NAME       STATUS    AGE
minikube   Ready     51m

Hopefully, you are now able to relate how some of the CLI calls are reflected in the Dashboard too. Let’s move forward. But before that, one important tip!

Tip: use-context minikube

If you had noticed closely when we started the cluster, there is a statement in the output that says “Kubectl is now configured to use the cluster.” What this is supposed to do is to eventually set the current context for the kubectl utility so that it knows which cluster it is talking to. Behind the scenes in your %HOMEPATH%\.kube directory, there is a config file that contains information about your Kubernetes cluster and the details for connecting to your various clusters is present over there.

In short, we have to be sure that the kubectl is pointing to the right cluster. In our case, the cluster name is minikube.

In case you see an error like the one below (I got it a few times), then you need to probably set the context again.

PS C:\> kubectl get nodes
error: You must be logged in to the server (the server has asked for the client to provide credentials)

The command for that is:

PS C:\> kubectl config use-context minikube
switched to context "minikube".

Running a Workload

Let us proceed now to running a simple Nginx container to see the whole thing in action:

We are going to use the run command as shown below:

PS C:\> .\kubectl.exe run hello-nginx --image=nginx --port=80
deployment "hello-nginx" created

This creates a deployment and we can investigate into the Pod that gets created, which will run the container:

PS C:\> .\kubectl.exe get pods
NAME                   READY     STATUS              RESTARTS   AGE
hello-nginx-24710...   0/1       ContainerCreating   0          2m

You can see that the STATUS column value is ContainerCreating.

Now, let us go back to the Dashboard (I am assuming that you either have it running or can launch it again via the minikube dashboard command):

You can notice that if we go to the Deployments option, the Deployment is listed and the status is still in progress. You can also notice that the Pods value is 0/1.

If we wait for a while, the Pod will eventually get created and it will ready as the command below shows:

PS C:\> .\kubectl.exe get pods
NAME                   READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
hello-nginx-24710...   1/1       Running   0          3m

If we see the Dashboard again, the Deployment is ready now:

If we visit the Replica Sets now, we can see it:

Click on the Replica Set name and it will show the Pod details as given below:

Alternately, you can also get to the Pods via the Pods link in the Workloads as shown below:

Click on the Pod and you can get various details on it as given below:

You can see that it has been given some default labels. You can see its IP address. It is part of the node named minikube. And most importantly, there is a link for View Logs too.

The 1.4 dashboard greatly simplifies using Kubernetes and explaining it to everyone. It helps to see what is going on in the Dashboard and then the various commands in kubectl will start making sense more.

We could have got the Node and Pod details via a variety of kubectl describe node/pod commands and we can still do that. An example of that is shown below:

PS C:\> .\kubectl.exe describe pod hello-nginx-2471083592-4vfz8
Name:           hello-nginx-2471083592-4vfz8
Namespace:      default

    Environment Variables:      <none>
..... /// REST OF THE OUTPUT ////

Expose a Service

It is time now to expose our basic Nginx deployment as a service. We can use the command shown below:

PS C:\> .\kubectl.exe expose deployment hello-nginx --type=NodePort
service "hello-nginx" exposed

If we visit the Dashboard at this point and go to the Services section, we can see out hello-nginx service entry.

Alternately, we can use kubectl too, to check it out:

PS C:\> .\kubectl.exe get services
NAME          CLUSTER-IP   EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)   AGE
hello-nginx   10.0.0.24    <nodes>       80/TCP    3m
kubernetes    10.0.0.1     <none>        443/TCP   1h
PS C:\> .\kubectl.exe describe service hello-nginx
Name:                   hello-nginx
Namespace:              default
Labels:                 run=hello-nginx
Selector:               run=hello-nginx
Type:                   NodePort
IP:                     10.0.0.24
Port:                   <unset> 80/TCP
NodePort:               <unset> 31155/TCP
Endpoints:              172.17.0.3:80
Session Affinity:       None
No events.

We can now use the minikube service to understand the URL for the service as shown below:

PS C:\> .\minikube.exe service --url=true hello-nginx
http://192.168.99.100:31155

Alternately, if we do not use the url flag, then it can directly launch the browser and hit the service endpoint:

PS C:\> .\minikube.exe service hello-nginx
Opening kubernetes service default/hello-nginx in default browser...

View Logs

Assuming that you have accessed the service once in the browser as shown above, let us look at an interesting thing now. Go to the Service link in the Dashboard.

Click on the hello-nginx service. This will also show the list of Pods (single) as shown below. Click on the icon for Logs as highlighted below:

This will show the logs for that particular Pod and with HTTP Request calls that was just made.

You could do the same by using the logs <podname> command for the kubectl CLI:

PS C:\> .\kubectl logs hello-nginx-2471083592-4vfz8

Scaling the Service

OK, I am not yet done!

When we created the deployment, we did not mention about the number of instances for our service. So we just had one Pod that was provisioned on the single node.

Let us go and see how we can scale this via the scale command. We want to scale it to 3 Pods.

PS C:\> .\kubectl scale --replicas=3 deployment/hello-nginx
deployment "hello-nginx" scaled

We can see the status of the deployment in a while:

PS C:\> .\kubectl.exe get deployment
NAME          DESIRED   CURRENT   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
hello-nginx   3
