Production Quality Cluster on GCE

This document provides the steps to bring up a production quality cluster on GCE with kube-up.sh.

Download CRI-Containerd Release Tarball

To download release tarball, see step 1 in installation.md.

Unpack release tarball to any directory, using ${CRI_CONTAINERD_PATH} to indicate the directory in the doc:

tar -C ${CRI_CONTAINERD_PATH} -xzf cri-containerd-${VERSION}.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Set Environment Variables for CRI-Containerd

Use environment variable CRI_CONTAINERD_VERSION to specify cri-containerd version. By default, latest version will be used.

. ${CRI_CONTAINERD_PATH}/opt/cri-containerd/cluster/gce/env

Create Kubernetes Cluster on GCE

Follow these instructions here to create a production quality Kubernetes cluster on GCE.

Make sure the Kubernetes version you are using is v1.9 or greater:

• When using https://get.k8s.io, use the environment variable KUBERNETES_RELEASE to set version.
• When using a Kubernetes release tarball, make sure to select version 1.9 or greater.
