Kind

Preliminary

• Kind binary has installed, if not check 🔗link

• Hardware Requirements:

  1. At least 2 GB of RAM per machine (minimum 1 GB)
  2. 2 CPUs on the master node
  3. Full network connectivity among all machines (public or private network)

• Operating System:

  1. Ubuntu 22.04/14.04, CentOS 7/8, or any other supported Linux distribution.

• Network Requirements:

  1. Unique hostname, MAC address, and product_uuid for each node.
  2. Certain ports need to be open (e.g., 6443, 2379-2380, 10250, 10251, 10252, 10255, etc.)

Create your cluster

Creating a Kubernetes cluster is as simple as kind create cluster

kind create cluster --name test

# 创建配置文件
cat <<EOF > kind-config.yaml
kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
nodes:
- role: control-plane
- role: worker
- role: worker
EOF

# 创建集群
kind create cluster --name my-cluster --config kind-config.yaml

# 等待容器启动
sleep 10

# 设置资源限制
docker update --memory="4g" --cpus="2" my-cluster-control-plane
docker update --memory="2g" --cpus="1" my-cluster-worker
docker update --memory="2g" --cpus="1" my-cluster-worker2

echo "✅集群创建完成，资源限制已应用"

Delete your cluster

kind delete cluster

K3s

Preliminary

• Hardware Requirements:

  1. Server need to have at least 2 cores, 2 GB RAM
  2. Agent need 1 core , 512 MB RAM

• Operating System:

  1. K3s is expected to work on most modern Linux systems.

• Network Requirements:

  1. The K3s server needs port 6443 to be accessible by all nodes.
  2. If you wish to utilize the metrics server, all nodes must be accessible to each other on port 10250.

Init K3s Server [At Server End]

curl -sfL https://rancher-mirror.rancher.cn/k3s/k3s-install.sh | INSTALL_K3S_MIRROR=cn sh -s - server --cluster-init --flannel-backend=vxlan --node-taint "node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane=true:NoSchedule" --disable traefik

append --disable traefik

append --disable servicelb 禁用 ServiceLB（如果你计划使用其他负载均衡器如 MetalLB）

append --disable local-storage 禁用本地存储（如果你使用其他存储方案）

Get K3s Token [At Server End]

cat /var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/node-token

Join K3s Worker [At Agent End]

curl -sfL https://rancher-mirror.rancher.cn/k3s/k3s-install.sh | INSTALL_K3S_MIRROR=cn K3S_URL=https://<master-ip>:6443 K3S_TOKEN=<join-token> sh -

Copy Kubeconfig [At Server + Agent End]

mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
cp /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml $HOME/.kube/config

How it works

Uninstall K3s cluster [At Server + Agent End]

# exec on server
/usr/local/bin/k3s-uninstall.sh

# exec on agent 
/usr/local/bin/k3s-agent-uninstall.sh

Minikube

Preliminary

• Minikube binary has installed, if not check 🔗link

• Hardware Requirements:

  1. At least 2 GB of RAM per machine (minimum 1 GB)
  2. 2 CPUs on the master node
  3. Full network connectivity among all machines (public or private network)

• Operating System:

  1. Ubuntu 20.04/18.04, CentOS 7/8, or any other supported Linux distribution.

• Network Requirements:

  1. Unique hostname, MAC address, and product_uuid for each node.
  2. Certain ports need to be open (e.g., 6443, 2379-2380, 10250, 10251, 10252, 10255, etc.)

[Optional] Disable aegis service and reboot system for Aliyun

sudo systemctl disable aegis && sudo reboot

Customize your cluster

minikube start --driver=podman  --image-mirror-country=cn --kubernetes-version=v1.33.1 --image-repository=registry.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/google_containers --cpus=6 --memory=20g --disk-size=50g --force

Restart minikube

minikube stop && minikube start

Add alias

alias kubectl="minikube kubectl --"

Stop And Clean

minikube stop && minikube delete --all --purge
