Install kubectl
kubectl is the program that we will use to interact with the Kubernetes environment. In my environment I installed it on my Windows 10 desktop running bash for Windows.
curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.3.0/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
chmod +x kubectl
sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin
Set the active cluster
Note that I’m setting the server to my HAproxy load balancer. This will most likely be different in your environment.
kubectl config set-cluster kubernetes-the-hard-way \
–certificate-authority=/var/lib/kubernetes/ca.pem \
–embed-certs=true \
–server=https://kube-controller13.vmware.local:6443
Set the credentials
kubectl config set-credentials admin –token ‘VMware1!’
Set the default context
kubectl config set-context default-context \
–cluster=kubernetes-the-hard-way \
–user=admin
kubectl config use-context default-context
Get the component status and verify everything is okay
kubectl get componentstatuses
