First steps in building a Kubernetes Cluster.
This is a follow up to my earlier post where I described how to install a stripped down Raspbian image on a set of 6 raspberry pi’s. In this post I want to describe what I finally ended up doing to get Kubernetes to run successfully on this cluster. So in the best traditions of TV cook shows, I will spare you the pain and the waiting and cut to what I ended up doing.
Creating a cluster of Raspberry Pi's.
After many different uses for my collection of older Model B Raspberry Pi’s I have settled on their best use being to host small static internal and public websites. After several iterations I have also determined that the one thing that I definitely do want, is to minimise the management of the cluster as much as possible. For this reason I am going also use this cluster to experiment with docker and kubernetes. I want to use this as a learning experience with Kubernetes. I generally…
