Create and Manage Cloud Resources Challenge Lab

Create and Manage Cloud Resources: Challenge Lab of Google Cloud

Task 1. Create a project jumphost instance

Navigation menu > Compute engine > VM Instance

1. Name for the VM instance : [specified instance name]

2. Region : leave default region

3. Zone : leave default zone

4. Machine Type : f1-micro (Series — N1)

5. Boot Disk : use the default image type (Debian Linux)

6. Leave other everything else as "default"

7. Click -> Create

Task 2. Create a Kubernetes service cluster

1. Activate Cloud Shell

2. Paste the commands one by one

gcloud auth list

gcloud config set compute/zone us-east1-b

gcloud container clusters create nucleus-webserver1

gcloud container clusters get-credentials nucleus-webserver1

kubectl create deployment hello-app --image=gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:2.

kubectl expose deployment hello-app --type=LoadBalancer --port [specified port]

kubectl get service

Task 3. Set up an HTTP load balancer

Paste the following commands in Cloud Shell
cat << EOF > startup.sh
#! /bin/bash
apt-get update
apt-get install -y nginx
service nginx start
sed -i -- 's/nginx/Google Cloud Platform - '"$HOSTNAME"'/' /var/www/html/index.nginx-debian.html
EOF

1 .Create an instance template :

gcloud compute instance-templates create nginx-template --metadata-from-file startup-script=startup.sh

2 .Create a target pool :

gcloud compute target-pools create nginx-pool

( if the location is other than us-east1, then press n) choose the location number that says us-east1

3 .Create a managed instance group :

gcloud compute instance-groups managed create nginx-group --base-instance-name nginx --size 2 --template nginx-template --target-pool nginx-pool

gcloud compute instances list

4 .Create a firewall rule to allow traffic (80/tcp) :

gcloud compute firewall-rules create [specified firewall name] --allow tcp:80

gcloud compute forwarding-rules create nginx-lb --region us-east1 --ports=80 --target-pool nginx-pool

gcloud compute forwarding-rules list

5 .Create a health check :

gcloud compute http-health-checks create http-basic-check

gcloud compute instance-groups managed set-named-ports nginx-group --named-ports http:80

6 .Create a backend service and attach the manged instance group :

gcloud compute backend-services create nginx-backend --protocol HTTP --http-health-checks http-basic-check --global

gcloud compute backend-services add-backend nginx-backend --instance-group nginx-group --instance-group-zone us-east1-b --global

7 .Create a URL map and target HTTP proxy to route requests to your URL map :

gcloud compute url-maps create web-map --default-service nginx-backend

gcloud compute target-http-proxies create http-lb-proxy --url-map web-map

8 .Create a forwarding rule :

gcloud compute forwarding-rules create http-content-rule --global --target-http-proxy http-lb-proxy --ports 80

gcloud compute forwarding-rules list
