Typhoon
- minimal and free Kubernetes distribution with Terraform
Usage
Define a Kubernetes cluster by using the Terraform module for your chosen platform and operating system. Here’s a minimal example:
module "yavin" {
source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//google-cloud/fedora-coreos/kubernetes?ref=v1.31.0"
# Google Cloud
cluster_name = "yavin"
region = "us-central1"
dns_zone = "example.com"
dns_zone_name = "example-zone"
# configuration
ssh_authorized_key = "ssh-ed25519 AAAAB3Nz..."
# optional
worker_count = 2
worker_preemptible = true
}
# Obtain cluster kubeconfig
resource "local_file" "kubeconfig-yavin" {
content = module.yavin.kubeconfig-admin
filename = "/home/user/.kube/configs/yavin-config"
}
Initialize modules, plan the changes to be made, and apply the changes.
$ terraform init
$ terraform plan
Plan: 62 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
$ terraform apply
Apply complete! Resources: 62 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
In 4-8 minutes (varies by platform), the cluster will be ready. This Google Cloud example creates a yavin.example.com DNS record to resolve to a network load balancer across controller nodes.
$ export KUBECONFIG=/home/user/.kube/configs/yavin-config
$ kubectl get nodes
