This page shows a couple of quick ways to create a Calico cluster on Kubernetes.
Decide whether you want to deploy a cloud or local cluster.
Prerequisite: gcloud.
To launch a GKE cluster with Calico, just include the --enable-network-policy
flag.
Syntax
gcloud container clusters create [CLUSTER_NAME] --enable-network-policy
Example
gcloud container clusters create my-calico-cluster --enable-network-policy
To verify the deployment, use the following command.
kubectl get pods --namespace=kube-system
The Calico pods begin with calico
. Check to make sure each one has a status of Running
.
To get a local single-host Calico cluster in fifteen minutes using kubeadm, refer to the Calico Quickstart.
Once your cluster is running, you can follow the Declare Network Policy to try out Kubernetes NetworkPolicy.
