Create a Production-Ready Kubernetes Cluster

Kubernetes Operations (kOps) is responsible for initializing, working, and destroying Kubernetes Clusters. It can perform multiple operations and tasks according to the user’s requirements.

In this hands-on Cloud Lab, you’ll create a kOps cluster through an EC2 instance and host your application on the created instance.

Lab tasks

• Create an EC2 Instance
• Create an S3 Bucket
• Create an Access Key
• Install Kops on the EC2 instance.
• Install kubectl on the EC2 Instance
• Configure AWS
• Create the Cluster
• Verify the Cluster
• Update the Cluster
• Clean Up
