Phase 1 — Kubernetes Cluster (k3s)
The cluster is the foundation of the entire platform. Everything else runs on top of it.
Node Roles
| Node | IP | Role |
|---|---|---|
| set-hog | 10.0.0.2 | Control Plane |
| fast-skunk | 10.0.0.4 | Worker |
| fast-heron | 10.0.0.7 | Worker |
| star-kitten | 10.0.0.8 | Worker |
1. Install Control Plane
ssh ubuntu@10.0.0.2
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh -
k3s installs a full Kubernetes control plane (API server, scheduler, controller manager, etcd).
2. Get Join Token
sudo cat /var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/node-token
Copy this token — you'll need it for the workers.
3. Join Worker Nodes
On each worker:
# fast-skunk
ssh ubuntu@10.0.0.4
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | \
K3S_URL=https://10.0.0.2:6443 \
K3S_TOKEN=<TOKEN_FROM_STEP_2> \
sh -
# fast-heron
ssh ubuntu@10.0.0.7
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | \
K3S_URL=https://10.0.0.2:6443 \
K3S_TOKEN=<TOKEN_FROM_STEP_2> \
sh -
4. Verify Cluster
sudo kubectl get nodes
Expected output:
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE
set-hog Ready control-plane,master X
fast-skunk Ready <none> X
fast-heron Ready <none> X
star-kitten Ready <none> X
All 4 nodes must show Ready.
Done When
✔ 4 nodes in Ready state
✔ kubectl get nodes returns all 4
