You'll first need to get started with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service by setting up an IBM Cloud account. For details, see the getting started instructions. Then follow the steps below to create a cluster and run the conformance tests.
If you haven't already done so, install the IBM Cloud CLI and plug-ins for IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service. You may then create a cluster using the CLI or UI.
$ # Option 1: Create a cluster on classic infrastructure.
$ ibmcloud ks cluster create classic --name conformance --version 1.27 --zone ZONE --flavor FLAVOR --private-vlan VLAN --public-vlan VLAN --workers COUNT
$ # Option 2: Create a cluster on Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) infrastructure.
$ ibmcloud ks cluster create vpc-gen2 --name conformance --version 1.27 --zone ZONE --flavor FLAVOR --vpc-id ID --subnet-id ID --workers COUNT
Go to IBM Cloud catalog
and select Kubernetes Service to create a cluster. From the cluster creation
UI, select version 1.27.8 and choose either classic or VPC infrastructure. Then
choose an appropriate location and worker pool configuration. Finally, give the
cluster a name, such as conformance, and select Create.
Wait for the cluster and all worker nodes to reach normal state.
$ ibmcloud ks cluster config --admin --cluster conformance
$ ibmcloud ks cluster get --cluster conformance
$ ibmcloud ks workers --cluster conformance
Then follow the test instructions to run the conformance tests.
