Reserving a Static External IP Address
Chapter 3 ■ Kubernetes on Google Cloud Platform
Each VM instance is assigned an internal IP address, which is used to communicate with other VM instances
on the same network. To be able to communicate outside the network, with the Internet to download
Kubernetes binaries for example, we need to assign a static external IP address to the VM instance. Navigate
to the URL https://console.cloud.google.com/networking/addresses to create a static external IP
address.
In the Reserve a Static Address page, click Regional and specify a Region. In the Attached To field, select
the VM instance created earlier. Click on Reserve as shown in Figure 3-33.
Figure 3-33. Clicking on Reserve to reserve a static address
A static external IP Address is reserved for the VM instance.
Creating a Kubernetes Cluster
To create a Kubernetes cluster, run one of the following commands in the shell for the VM instance.
curl -sS https://get.k8s.io | bash
or
wget -q -O - https://get.k8s.io | bash
The Kubernetes binaries are downloaded as shown in Figure 3-34.
