In this lecture, we will look at the cube admin tool, which can be used to bootstrap a corporate net
as cluster, the cube admin tool helps us set up a multi node cluster following the cabinet as best
practices.
As we discussed, the Cuban netas cluster consists of various components, such as the Cuba API server,
LCD controllers, etc., and we've seen some of the requirements are on security and certificates to
enable communication between these components, installing all of these various components individually
on different nodes and modifying the configuration files to make sure these components point to each
other.
And setting up certificates to make it work is a tedious task.
The cube admin tool helps us by taking care of all of those tasks.
Let's go through the steps to set up a cabinet, this cluster using the cube admin tool at a high level.
First, you must have multiple systems or virtual machines provisioned for configuring a cluster.
We will see how to set up your laptop to do just that.
That's if you're not familiar with it.
Once the systems are created, designate one node as master and others as worker notes.
The next step is to install a container runtime on the hosts.
We will be using Docker.
So we must install Docker on all the notes.
The next step is to install Kube admin tool on all the notes, the cube admin tool helps us bootstrap
the carbonated solution by installing and configuring all the required components in the right nodes
in the right order.
The next step is to initialize the master server during this process.
All the required components are installed and configured on the master server.
Once the master is initialized and before joining the worker notes to the master, you must ensure that
the network prerequisites are met and normal network connectivity between the systems is not sufficient
for this Cooperton.
This requires a special networking solution between the master and worker notes, which is called as
the pod network.
The last step is to join the worker.
Note to the master note.
Well, then all set to launch our application in the cabinet as environment.
We will now see a demo of setting up cabernets using the cube admin tool in our local environment.
