Setup Kubernetes Cluster for Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) Exercises
Prepare for your Kubernetes certifications with a cluster designed for practical exam scenarios. This guide details how to create a CKA cluster using the C2 Platform development environment.
The guides in this section present two options for setting up your Kubernetes
cluster. The first option allows you to create the cluster automatically
using Ansible with just two commands, which will take approximately 15
minutes to complete. Alternatively, you can instruct
Vagrant
to skip the Ansible provisioner by using the --no-provision
option. After
that, refer to the other guide to manually setup the cluster using kubeadm
.
Both approaches assume you are working within the C2 Platform development
environment. For information on how to set up this environment, see
Setup a Development Environment on Ubuntu 22
.
This page outlines the steps to set up the CKA cluster using Ansible, including the creation of the control plane (master node) and three worker nodes. The entire process takes approximately 15 minutes with the C2 Platform.
This section provides pages for a step-by-step approach to manually set up the Kubernetes cluster, offering insights into key configurations and commands for effective deployment.
