Editing Kubernetes Cluster Installation (section)

== Kubernetes Cluster ==
There are multiple ways to deploy a kubernetes cluster.  These two have been tried and are (at least somewhat) functional.

=== kubeadm ===
Full instructions for creating a cluster using kubeadm are located in the kubernetes documentation:  https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/create-cluster-kubeadm/.  Here are the cliff notes for this environment:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
| [[Kubernetes Controller]] || install kubernetes cluster controller
|-
| [[Kubernetes Nodes]] || install kubernetes nodes
|}

=== k3s ===
See the [[K3s - Kubernetes Simplified]] page for instructions

=== The Rest of the Stuff ===
These are the parts of the cluster that may be installed by one of the above methods, but not always.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
| [[IP Controller]] || set up load balancer to assign IP addresses when needed
|-
| [[Metrics Server]] || install metrics collection for the dashboard
|-
| [[k8dash Dashboard]] || install the web GUI dashboard<ref>the original/default kubernetes dashboard installation instructions are located at [[kubernetes Dashboard]]</ref>
|-
| [[Rook Storage for Kubernetes]] || dynamic storage provisioning
|-
| [[helm installation]] || kubernetes package installer
