Lesson 3: Setting up a Kubernetes Cluster

A Kubernetes cluster is a set of nodes that run containerized applications managed by Kubernetes. Setting up a Kubernetes cluster can be a complex task, but there are several tools available that can help simplify the process. One popular tool for setting up a Kubernetes cluster is kubeadm, which automates the process of setting up a cluster by configuring the necessary components.

When setting up a Kubernetes cluster, it is important to consider the hardware requirements for the nodes, such as CPU, memory, and disk space. It is also important to ensure that the nodes are running a compatible version of the container runtime, such as Docker. Additionally, it is important to configure the networking between the nodes to enable communication between the containers running on different nodes.

Once the cluster is set up, it is important to monitor the health of the nodes and the applications running on them. Kubernetes provides several tools for monitoring the cluster, including the Kubernetes Dashboard and the Prometheus monitoring system.

To learn more about setting up a Kubernetes cluster, check out the official Kubernetes documentation and the kubeadm documentation.
