Docker and Kubernetes
Creating a Raspberry 3 B+ Kubernetes Cluster
Also GCE is perfect to learn Kubernetes, building Kubernetes on top of PI Cluster brings another dimension to the learning, from setting up the OS, partitionning the OS, DHCP, NAT, cross compiling for the ARM32V7.
Add Persistency Volume to PI Cluster
In order to install Prometheus, NATS, Cassandra using Kubernetes, we need to first create Persistency Volumes
Deploy Flannel in PI Cluster
In order to get the nodes and pods interface with each other accross the cluster. This post describes how I deployed Flannel acounting with the fact that some of the nodes have multiple interfaces (wlan0 and eth0).
Add Raspberry PI node to Kubernetes Cluster in 10 min
During some of the manipulation of the partition table of my SD card, I ended up screwing up both my SD card and my backup Win32DiskImage backup. Moreover if your SD card is 32G, it takes around 30 minute to restore from backup. Hence the idea to come up with a way to build more resiliency in the cluster. Recreating a node from scratch should not take more than 10 mn. The propose procedure is still rather long because I did not push enough yet what the HypriotOS team, aka build a default SD image where cloud-init does 100% of the initialization work.
Enable docker Remote API
In order to build image for Raspberry PI, it is sometimes usefull to be able to leverate infrastruture from a remote VM. For instance you can cross-build golang executable for ARM32v7 and transfer it to build an image on the remote PI. (used for Tiller docker image)
