gke-autopilot

This repository is an example how to use autopilot in GKE. If you want yo read more about it:

• Autopilot

GKE Autopilot is a mode of operation in GKE in which Google manages your cluster configuration, including your nodes, scaling, security, and other preconfigured settings. Autopilot clusters are optimized to run most production workloads, and provision compute resources based on your Kubernetes manifests. The streamlined configuration follows GKE best practices and recommendations for cluster and workload setup, scalability, and security. For a list of built-in settings, refer to the Autopilot and Standard comparison table.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project.

Prerequisites

• git
• terraform
• kubectl
• kubectx
• gcloud

To deloy this project you will need a Google Cloud account, create here.

Costs

This tutorial uses the following billable components of Google Cloud:

• GKE

To generate a cost estimate based on your projected usage, use the pricing calculator.

When you finish this tutorial, you can avoid continued billing by deleting the resources you created. For more information, see Clean up.

Deploying

First of all you need to clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/claick-oliveira/gke-autopilot

Infrastructure

First let's check the architecture that we will create.

#TODO: ## Add the architecture diagram

Terraform

Now that we know about the architecture and resources, let's create. First we need to connect our shell to the gcloud:

gcloud auth login

Now that we connected:

cd terraform
terraform apply

This project you need to fill some variables:

• gcp_project_name: The GCP project ID
• gcp_region: The GCP region
• gcp_zone: The GCP availability zone

Connecting in the Cluster

First we need to connect in our GKE:

gcloud container clusters get-credentials <CLUSTER_NAME> --region <REGION> --project <PROJECT_ID>

To be easy and skaffold use the correct environment, let's configure kubectx:

Get the name of the environment:

kubectx

Now change the name for staging:

kubectx staging=<YOUR ENVIRONMENT>

#TODO: ## Add an examplekubernetes deployment

Clean

To clean the files generated as coverage, builds, env you can use:

cd terraform
terraform destroy
