Getting started with AWS

Prerequisites

This assumes you have aws setup.

• get started with aws <getting_started_aws.rst>

Install Kubernetes CLI

We summarize the official kubectl install instructions here. The following is a script that will install the latest version of kubectl.

mkdir -p "$HOME/tmp/kub"
cd "$HOME/tmp/kub"

curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl.sha256"
echo "$(<kubectl.sha256)  kubectl" | sha256sum --check

PREFIX=$HOME/.local
chmod +x kubectl
mkdir -p "$PREFIX"/bin
cp ./kubectl "$PREFIX"/bin/kubectl
# ensure $PREFIX/bin is in the PATH

Test that the install worked:

# Ensure that this works.
kubectl version --client --output=yaml
