This topic describes the steps to create a Kubernetes YAML based blueprint. HyperCloud™ Platform supports deploying standard Kubernetes blueprints. Kubernetes blueprints can only be deployed if a Kubernetes cluster is deployed using HyperCloud Platform.

Deploying a Managed Kubernetes Cluster (Azure Kubernetes Service)

Use the following steps to deploy a Kubernetes Cluster using the Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service
Note: There must be enough resources available in the Resource Pool used for deploying the Azure Kubernetes Cluster.

Login to the HyperCloud™ Platform with your credentials  Click on Services Orchestration Tab  Click on Containers tab  Click on New to Launch Kubernetes Cluster Wizard
- Enter a Name: hg-prod-aks-1
- From the drop-down for Cloud Select Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
- Type: Standard
- Resource Pools: RP.ARM.South East Asia.<RP-Name>
- Machine Type: Standard_D11
- Node Count per Zone: 2
- Select Resource group from the drop-down for e.g hg-prod-aks-rg
- Click Save Changes
Click on the Cluster  Click on Timeline Tab  Click on View Execution Logs.

Note: If you run into an error stating - Operation could not be completed as it results in exceeding approved standardDFamily Cores quota. Additional details…. You may need to pick a different instance or contact your administrator who can request a quota increase

Deploying a Managed Kubernetes Cluster (Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service)

Use the following steps to deploy a Kubernetes Cluster using the Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service

Login to the HyperCloud™ Platform with your credentials  Click on Services Orchestration Tab  Click on Containers tab  Click on New to Launch Kubernetes Cluster Wizard
- Enter a Name: hg-prod-eks-1
- From the Target drop-down: Select Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (AKS)
- Type: High-Availability
- Resource Pools: RP.AWS.ap-southeast-1a.<RP>, RP.AWS.ap-southeast-1b.<RP >

Note: Must have 2 AWS Resource available which are created from a different Availability Zones

- Machine Type: c5.large
- Node Count per Zone: 2
- AutoScale Custer: Enabled (Default)
- Minimum Worker per Pool: 2
- Maximum Worker per Pool: 5
- ROLE ARN: Select the Amazon EKS Service Role
- Select Resource group from the drop-down for e.g hg-prod-aks-rg
- To allow specific users to access this Cluster, Click on Users & Groups
  - Only Me: Only the creator can access this Cluster
  - Everyone: All users in this Tenant can access this Kubernetes Cluster
  - Groups & Users
    - In the users Text Box: Type the first alphabet of a username you would like to add & select the user
    - In the Groups Text Box: Type the first alphabet of a group name you would like to add and select the group.
- Click Save Changes
Click on the Cluster  Click on Timeline Tab  Click on View Execution Logs

Configuring a Managed Kubernetes Cluster

Configuring Kubernetes Namespace

Kubernetes Namespace – acts like a workspace with optional quotas and limits for each pod (containers). Use the following steps to create a Kubernetes namespace.
Note: Kubernetes best practice suggest creating dedicated namespace for you Applications and avoid using the default namespace.

Login to the HyperCloud™ Platform with your credentials  Click on Services Orchestration Tab  Click on Containers tab  Click on the Kubernetes Cluster already provisioned
Click on Action Button  Click on New Namespace
- Enter a Name for the Namespace for e.g. production
- Click Save

Configuring Kubernetes Secret

Secret can be credentials/ hidden configuration which can referenced by containers during runtime
Note: Kubernetes Secrets must be created within a namespace. This secret can be used by deployments in the current namespace only.

Login to the HyperCloud™ Platform with your credentials  Click on Services Orchestration Tab  Click on Containers tab  Click on the Kubernetes Cluster already provisioned
Click on Action Button  Click on New Secret
- Enter a name: app1-secret1
- Select Namespace: production
- From the Type Drop-down: Select the Secrete type
  - opaque
  - kubernetes.io/tls
  - kubernetest.io/dockerconfigjson

Note: Refer the Kubernetes Secret Overview for more details

- - Click Save to create a secret in the name space
- To view the secret, click on the Kubernetes Namespace tab  Click on the same space which was selected to create the secret.

Configuring Kubernetes Storage Class

Storage class – allow Kubernetes blueprints to create volumes in specific class automatically.
Note: Storage Class is not bound to a namespace.

Login to the HyperCloud™ Platform with your credentials  Click on Services Orchestration Tab  Click on Containers tab  Click on the Kubernetes Cluster already provisioned
Click on Action Button  Click on New Storage Class
- Enter a Name for the storage Class: Standard
- Click Save

Configuring Kubernetes Persistent Volumes

Persistent Volumes are pre-created volumes which can be attached to containers during runtime.

Login to the HyperCloud™ Platform with your credentials  Click on Services Orchestration Tab  Click on Containers tab  Click on the Kubernetes Cluster already provisioned
Click on Action Button  Click on New
- Enter a Volume Name: app1-vol1
- Storage Class: Standard
- Reclaim Policy: Delete
- Disk – Select disk options to create the persistent volume
  - New – Enter a Volume Size (GB) for e.g 100 GB
  - Existing – User must provide the exact URI for an existing volume
- Click Save

Deploying a Kubernetes Blueprint (YAML)

Use the following steps to deploy a Kubernetes blueprint.

Login to the HyperCloud™ Platform with your credentials  Click on Services Orchestration Tab  Click on AppStore.
Click on New  Click on K8S
- Click on Action  Import
- Click on Choose File  Enter the following URL Kubernetes Guestbook Application

Note: By default, this application will not be accessible to the internet. To enable internet access, change the following under the kind: Service

spec:
#type : NodePort (Comment this line)
type: LoadBalancer

- Click Save Changes
Click on the Kubernetes Blueprint
- Select the namespace: production
- Click on Run

Note: This may take more than a few minutes

The Application can be found under Services Orchestration Tab  Click on Apps tab
Refer https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/ to create Kubernetes YAML based Blueprints.
