How do I deploy to DigitalOcean Kubernetes?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:40 pm

Deploying Kubernetes to DigitalOcean can be a daunting task, but luckily, the process is fairly simple. The first step is to create an account on DigitalOcean and create a droplet.

Once you have an account and a droplet, you can follow the steps below to deploy Kubernetes.

Create a Kubernetes Cluster

The first step is to create a Kubernetes cluster. To do this, you will need to create a droplet, and then run the kubeadm init command on that droplet.

This will create a Kubernetes cluster on that droplet.

Next, you will need to add the new cluster to your DigitalOcean account. To do this, open the Kubernetes Dashboard on your account, and click on the Clusters tab.

Next, click on the Add Cluster button, and enter the details for the new cluster.

Finally, you will need to specify a name for the cluster. You can choose any name you want, but you will need to include the cluster name in all of your kubeconfig files.

Configure Kubernetes

Now that you have created the cluster, you will need to configure it. To do this, you will need to create a kubeconfig file for the cluster.

To do this, open the Kubernetes Dashboard on your account, and click on the Kubeconfigs tab. Next, click on the Add New Kubeconfig File button, and enter the details for the new kubeconfig file.

PRO TIP: Warning: Please be sure to carefully read the instructions on how to deploy to DigitalOcean Kubernetes before beginning. Incorrectly following the directions could result in data loss or corruption.

Next, you will need to specify the cluster’s name in the kubeconfig file. You can also specify a description for the cluster, but you will not need to do this.

Finally, you will need to specify the cluster’s IP address. You can find this information in the Kubernetes Dashboard, under the Clusters tab.

Test Your Cluster

Now that you have configured the cluster, you will need to test it. To do this, you will need to deploy a container to the cluster.

To do this, you will need to use the kubectl get command. This command will list all of the containers that are currently running on the cluster.

Next, you will need to specify the name of the container that you want to deploy. To do this, you will need to use the kubectl get command again, but this time you will need to use the –name flag.

Finally, you will need to specify the path to the container. To do this, you will need to use the kubectl get command again, but this time you will need to use the –resource flag.

Finally, you will need to specify the port that the container will be running on. To do this, you will need to use the kubectl get command again, but this time you will need to use the –port flag.

Deploy Your Container

Now that you have deployed the container, you will need to test it. To do this, you will need to use the kubectl get command again, but this time you will need to use the –status flag.

This flag will return the status of the container.

Finally, you will need to use the kubectl get command again, but this time you will need to use the –stats flag. This flag will return the stats for the container.
