Free Kubernetes cluster on Oracle Cloud with Terraform - Eficode modifications
This repository serves as a working improvement over the original great work done by Arnold as described below. While the original repository was supporting a short series of blog post, the ambition is now to take it a bit further and improve it with automation and adding monitoring and applications to the cluster.
The purpose is also to have a cheap, or even free, playground for both Kubernetes and Terraform by exploring and exploiting the Oracle Cloud Free Tier.
Since the repository has been restructured by at least splitting Terraform into smaller modules, the aim is not necessarily to deliver changes back to the originial.
You are welcome to contribute by creating issues and/or Pull Requests.

- Get the following data from your Oracle Cloud account
- User OCID
- Tenancy OCID
- Compartment OCID
- Open a terminal within the
oci-infrafolder - Execute a
terraform init - Execute a
terraform apply - Create your Kubernetes configuration file using
$ oci ce cluster create-kubeconfig --cluster-id <cluster OCID> --file ~/.kube/free-k8s-config --region <region> --token-version 2.0.0 --kube-endpoint PUBLIC_ENDPOINT
- Apply your K8S config for kubectl
$ export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/free-k8s-config
- To verify cluster access, do a
