Creating/Deleting machines (VM)

• Creating/Deleting machines (VM)
  • Setting up your usage environment
  • Important :
  • Creating machine
  • Inspect status of machine
  • Delete machine

Setting up your usage environment

• Follow the steps described here

Important :

Make sure that the kubernetes/machine_objects/machine.yaml points to the same class name as the kubernetes/machine_classes/aws-machine-class.yaml.

Similarly kubernetes/machine_objects/aws-machine-class.yaml secret name and namespace should be same as that mentioned in kubernetes/secrets/aws-secret.yaml

Creating machine

• Modify kubernetes/machine_objects/machine.yaml as per your requirement and create the VM as shown below:

$ kubectl apply -f kubernetes/machine_objects/machine.yaml

You should notice that the Machine Controller Manager has immediately picked up your manifest and started to create a new machine by talking to the cloud provider.

• Check Machine Controller Manager machines in the cluster

$ kubectl get machine
NAME           STATUS    AGE
test-machine   Running   5m

A new machine is created with the name provided in the kubernetes/machine_objects/machine.yaml file.

• After a few minutes (~3 minutes for AWS), you should notice a new node joining the cluster. You can verify this by running:

$ kubectl get nodes
NAME                                         STATUS     AGE     VERSION
ip-10-250-14-52.eu-east-1.compute.internal.  Ready      1m      v1.8.0

This shows that a new node has successfully joined the cluster.

Inspect status of machine

To inspect the status of any created machine, run the command given below.

$ kubectl get machine test-machine -o yaml

Delete machine

To delete the VM using the kubernetes/machine_objects/machine.yaml as shown below

$ kubectl delete -f kubernetes/machine_objects/machine.yaml

Now the Machine Controller Manager picks up the manifest immediately and starts to delete the existing VM by talking to the cloud provider. The node should be detached from the cluster in a few minutes (~1min for AWS).
