Quick Start GCP Kubernetes on Windows with Hello World App

• Install Git for Windows
• Install Notepad++
• Do Windows update before Installing Docker
• Install Docker for Windows
• Sign up for Free Google Cloud Account using your gmail ID - https://cloud.google.com/
• Download gCloud tool for Windows
• Initialize your Local gcloud env and set the default project, compute zone etc

gcloud init

• Handy way to get current project and set an environment variable

gcloud config get-value project
set PROJECT_ID=<project value>

• Clone the Repo

git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes-engine-samples
cd kubernetes-engine-samples/hello-app

• Build docker Image

docker build -t gcr.io/%PROJECT_ID%/hello-app:v1 .

• Run it locally

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 gcr.io/%PROJECT_ID%/hello-app:v1

• Push the Image so that we can deploy into k8s cluster

gcloud auth configure-docker
docker push gcr.io/%PROJECT_ID%/hello-app:v1

Setup GKE

gcloud config set project %PROJECT_ID%
gcloud container clusters create hello-cluster
gcloud compute instances list
kubectl create deployment hello-app --image=gcr.io/%PROJECT_ID%/hello-app:v1
kubectl get pods
kubectl expose deployment hello-app --name=hello-app-service --type=LoadBalancer --port 80 --target-port 8080
kubectl get service
curl <External IP address>

• Cleanup

kubectl delete service hello-app-service
gcloud container clusters delete hello-cluster
