Resources for book examples about cluster

@kris-nova may prefer a different OS. I assume Ubuntu would be fine as we can easily initialize the cluster with kubeadm

Hi @rothgar , we would like to prepare nodes for you next week. Will that be fine for you?

[rothgar]

The week of the 17th may actually work better for us. We have a partial draft due on the 15th and won't have much time to set up the cluster or software until after then.

17th May or April?

[rothgar]

17th of April. I just want to make sure we take full benefit of the systems and the 2 weeks allowed for their use. If we need more time I can submit a new request. Is there a request process to extend time beyond 2 weeks?

[cncfclusterteam]

Posting here is enough for extending the cluster usage. Generally, as long as there are no other tenants in the queue then the extension is approved by default.

[rothgar]

Just following up here to check schedule so I can make sure I plan accordingly to set up the machines.

friendly ping @cncfclusterteam (this was approved by CNCF)

[cncfclusterteam]

@rothgar we are experiencing some issues in the provisioning process, we are aware of the request and are working on that. I believe we should finalize everything by tomorrow, we will inform you as soon as we know more.

Apologies for the inconvenience!

Anything I can do to help here? Any Unix based OS will be fine for me (Darwin or Linux)

Cheers

@rothgar We have 30 nodes ready for you (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS), but cannot share sensitive information - we keep it in documents on Google Drive and Google account is required.

Please connect your existing email with Google using this link: https://accounts.google.com/signupwithoutgmail or provide a different, Google-enabled, email address.

Thanks.

Hi @rothgar, we'd like to ask you about your experience with the CNCF cluster. Does the environment function as expected? Do you have any further plans / need additional nodes / want to extend the lease?

Please let us know the details so we can plan accordingly, thanks!

[rothgar]

Everything function as needed and I was able to test thing applications I needed. It took a little time for me to be able to connect and set up the cluster but once I figured out the initial steps everything worked as expected.

Only thing I would suggest is the VPN connection did not automatically add DNS search domains when connected which means I either had to add the search domain/route manually or connect to everything via IP address. It would be nice if this was added to the configuration so domains will automatically be routed correctly when connecting to an fqdn of a host.

I'm done with my testing and you can delete my vpn credentials and erase the cluster. Thank you again for providing the resources and support services.

[cncfclusterteam]

Great, in that case we'll deprovision the nodes back to the 'free' pool today. Thank you for confirmation and especially for suggestions about DNS configuration, this is definitely something we should improve.
