Kubernetes cluster setup on Dapr Docs

Set up a Minikube cluster

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Prerequisites

Install:
- Docker
- kubectl
- Minikube
For Windows:
- Enable Virtualization in BIOS
- Install Hyper-V

Note

See the official Minikube documentation on drivers for details on supported drivers and how to install plugins.

Start the Minikube cluster

If applicable for your project, set the default VM.
```
minikube config set vm-driver [driver_name]
```
Start the cluster. If necessary, specify version 1.13.x or newer of Kubernetes with --kubernetes-version
```
minikube start --cpus=4 --memory=4096
```
Enable the Minikube dashboard and ingress add-ons.

Set up a KiND cluster

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Prerequisites

Install:
- Docker
- kubectl
For Windows:
- Enable Virtualization in BIOS
- Install Hyper-V

Install and configure KiND

Refer to the KiND documentation to install.

If you are using Docker Desktop, verify that you have the recommended settings.

Configure and create the KiND cluster

Create a file named kind-cluster-config.yaml, and paste the following:

kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
nodes:
- role: control-plane
 kubeadmConfigPatches:
 - |
 kind: InitConfiguration
 nodeRegistration:
 kubeletExtraArgs:
 node-labels: "ingress-ready=true"
 extraPortMappings:
 - containerPort: 80
 hostPort: 8081
 protocol: TCP
 - containerPort: 443
 hostPort: 8443
 protocol: TCP
- role: worker
- role: worker

Set up an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This guide walks you through installing an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster. If you need more information, refer to Quickstart: Deploy an AKS cluster using the Azure CLI

Prerequisites

Install:
- Docker
- kubectl
- Azure CLI

Deploy an AKS cluster

In the terminal, log into Azure.
```
az login
```

Set your default subscription:

az account set -s [your_subscription_id]

Create a resource group.

az group create --name [your_resource_group] --location [region]

Create an AKS cluster. To use a specific version of Kubernetes, use --kubernetes-version (1.13.x or newer version required).

Set up a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Prerequisites

Install:
- kubectl
- Google Cloud SDK

Create a new cluster

Create a GKE cluster by running the following:

$ gcloud services enable container.googleapis.com && \
 gcloud container clusters create $CLUSTER_NAME \
 --zone $ZONE \
 --project $PROJECT_ID

For more options:

Refer to the Google Cloud SDK docs.
Create a cluster through the Cloud Console for a more interactive experience.

Sidecar injection for private GKE clusters

Sidecar injection for private clusters requires extra steps.

In private GKE clusters, an automatically created firewall rule for master access doesn’t open port 4000, which Dapr needs for sidecar injection.

Set up an Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This guide walks you through installing an Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster. If you need more information, refer to Create an Amazon EKS cluster

Prerequisites

Install:

Deploy an EKS cluster

In the terminal, log into AWS.
```
aws configure
```
Create a new file called cluster-config.yaml and add the content below to it, replacing [your_cluster_name], [your_cluster_region], and [your_k8s_version] with the appropriate values:
