Automation script to manage PKS cluster access on GCP

Manage PKS on GCP

Automate Load balancer configuration & PKS cluster access on GCP.

Demo

What these scripts are not meant for (YET) !

• Automate PKS deployment on GCP
• Configure GCP SDK client
• Handle PKS cli authentication

Before you begin

You need:

• PKS cli
• GCP sdk client
• jq

Instructions

1. Start by configuring PKS API access, please find detailed docs here.

pks login -a PKS-API --client-name CLIENT-NAME --client-secret CLIENT-SECRET -k

2. Configure GCP SDK client, log in to GCP

$ gcloud auth login

3. Configure GCP compute region, same as AZ configuration for PKS tile

gcloud config set compute/region $GCP_REGION

4. Start by provisioning a new cluster, this step will reserve a IP on GCP & will issue create cluster command.

./manage-pks-gcp provision

5. It will take some time to provision cluster, check status with pks cluster cluster-name before proceeding to next step.

6. Once cluster provision status is succeeded, enable access using

./manage-pks-gcp access

and follow instructions. This step will:

• Create load-balancer
• Configure firewall-rule
• Add master nodes to load-balancer based on tags
• Configure the forwarding rule
• Get credentials using PKS cli & set kubectl context

7. If you want to clean up GCP resources, loadbalancer, firewall-rule, forwarding-rule

./manage-pks-gcp cleanup

Above cleanup doesn't release the IP which is reserved in step 4, so even after cleanup, repeat step 6 to enable access.
