Kubernetes the Hard Way Using Terraform
summary
Reproduces Kelsey Hightower’s Kubernetes The Hard Way by encoding each step in Terraform and shell scripts, including CA and TLS generation with CFSSL, kubelet and containerd installs, systemd services for API server/controller/scheduler, and CoreDNS. Terraform provisions networking, a static IP, load balancer, and 3 controllers and 3 workers, runs terraform apply to bootstrap the cluster, verifies pods and component status via kubectl, and supports full teardown with terraform destroy.
