Switchblade Worker Node Setup

README.md

1. Update package list

sudo apt-get update

2. Install Docker

sudo apt-get install docker.io

3. Configure Docker to launch at boot

sudo systemctl enable docker

sudo systemctl start docker

4. Add Kubernetes Signing Key

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

5. Add Software Repositories

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

6. Install Kubernetes Installation Tools

sudo apt-get install kubeadm kubelet kubectl

sudo apt-mark hold kubeadm kubelet kubectl

7. Disable Swap

This step didn't work for me when I first tried it. If it doesn't for you, go google a solution.

sudo swapoff –a

8. Set hostname

sudo hostnamectl set-hostname switchblade-PROVIDER-AIRPORT-RANDOM

PROVIDER is the abbreviation of the hosting provider name

Provider	Abbreviation

Google Cloud	gcp
Oracle Cloud	occ
Azure	azr

AIRPORT is the code of the airport nearest to the machine, in lowercase

RANDOM is a random 5-character string of numbers and lowercase letters.

9. Join the cluster

Ask Pedro for the join command. It should look like this:

kubeadm join --discovery-token abcdef.1234567890abcdef --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:1234..cdef 1.2.3.4:6443
