Create instance and rename it, ex: `nucleus-jumphost-836` 3. Create the instance in the correct zone, ex: `europe-west1-d` 4. Use an *e2-micro* machine type 5. Use the default image type (Debian Linux) > Detailed Tutorial of Task — 2 1. Activate Cloud Shell 2. Create Kubernetes Service Cluster in the correct region, ex: `europe-west1-d` 3. Use the Docker container hello-app (`gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:2.0`) as a placeholder; the team will replace the container with their own work later. 4. Expose the app on port `8082` ``` gcloud config set compute/zone europe-west1-d gcloud container clusters create nucleus-jumphost-webserver1 gcloud container clusters get-credentials nucleus-jumphost-webserver1 kubectl create deployment hello-app --image=gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:2.0 kubectl expose deployment hello-app --type=LoadBalancer --port 8082 kubectl get service ``` > Detailed Tutorial of Task — 3 ``` cat << EOF > startup.sh #! /bin/bash apt-get update apt-get install -y nginx service nginx start sed -i -- 's/nginx/Google Cloud Platform - '"\$HOSTNAME"'/' /var/www/html/index.nginx-debian.html EOF ``` 1. Creating an instance template ``` gcloud compute instance-templates create nginx-template \ --metadata-from-file startup-script=startup.sh ``` 2. Creating a target pool (This command will ask you the location where you want to create the target pool. If it’s not `europe-west1`, type “n”. Select the number corresponding to `europe-west1` in the list. In my case it was 15. Type 15 and hit Enter.) ``` gcloud compute target-pools create nginx-pool ``` 3. Creating a managed instance group ``` gcloud compute instance-groups managed create nginx-group \ --base-instance-name nginx \ --size 2 \ --template nginx-template \ --target-pool nginx-pool gcloud compute instances list ``` 4. Creating a firewall rule named as `grant-tcp-rule-491` to allow traffic (80/tcp) ``` gcloud compute firewall-rules create grant-tcp-rule-491 --allow tcp:80 gcloud compute forwarding-rules create nginx-lb \ --region europe-west1 \ --ports=80 \ --target-pool nginx-pool gcloud compute forwarding-rules list ``` 5. Creating a health check ``` gcloud compute http-health-checks create http-basic-check gcloud compute instance-groups managed \ set-named-ports nginx-group \ --named-ports http:80 ``` 6. Creating a backend service and attach the manged instance group ``` gcloud compute backend-services create nginx-backend \ --protocol HTTP --http-health-checks http-basic-check --global gcloud compute backend-services add-backend nginx-backend \ --instance-group nginx-group \ --instance-group-zone europe-west1-d \ --global ``` 7. Creating a URL map and target HTTP proxy to route requests to your URL map ``` gcloud compute url-maps create web-map \ --default-service nginx-backend gcloud compute target-http-proxies create http-lb-proxy \ --url-map web-map ``` 8. Creating a forwarding rule ``` gcloud compute forwarding-rules create http-content-rule \ --global \ --target-http-proxy http-lb-proxy \ --ports 80 gcloud compute forwarding-rules list ```
