Summary

In this chapter, you have gone through the journey of creating an on-premises Windows/Linux Kubernetes cluster on a Hyper-V host. This approach is useful for creating local development clusters as well as deploying production clusters outside of cloud environments. Let's have a recap of the procedure—we first planned the cluster design and the network for the nodes, Pod, and Service classless inter-domain routings (CIDRs). Then, we have created the Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS VM—our Kubernetes master. Creating the master node required an initial configuration of the operating system and the installation of Docker.

In our case, we have chosen Flannel with a host-gw backend, which...
