In this section we will deploy KubeDirector to minikube.

Deploy KubeDirector

In the Lab Browser UI terminal, enter the command:

$ make deploy

deploy errors

If you receive an error with make deploy such as:

...

* Waiting for KubeDirector to start.......................

KubeDirector failed to start -- no admission control hook created!

make: *** [deploy] Error 1

kubectl get pods

After a few minutes you should see KubeDirector running:

NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE

kubedirector-7f9d95c9d5-5q6bv 1/1 Running 0 2m43s

Advanced debugging (optional)

In this section we do more debugging to verify that the kubedirector pod is running:

$ kubectl get pods

NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE

kubedirector-7f9d95c9d5-j8rh4 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 90s

You can see that mine is still creating, so I run kubectl describe to inspect its status:

$ kubectl describe pod kubedirector-7f9d95c9d5-j8rh4

...

Events:

Type Reason Age From Message

---- ------ ---- ---- -------

Normal Scheduled 3m1s default-scheduler Successfully assigned default/kubedirector-7f9d95c9d5-j8rh4 to localhost.localdomain

Normal Pulling 2m59s kubelet, localhost.localdomain Pulling image "bluek8s/kubedirector:unstable"

Deploy failed for me because the image pull was talking a long time.

I checked a few more times with kubectl describe until I saw:

Normal Started 37s kubelet, localhost.localdomain Started container kubedirector

At which point I could run the following which completed successfully:

make undeploy

make dedeploy

When make deploy is successful, you should see something like this:

...

KubeDirector pod name is kubedirector-7f9d95c9d5-j8rh4

At this point, you can run kubectl get pods which should show output something like this:

NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE

kubedirector-7f9d95c9d5-j8rh4 1/1 Running 0 1m

You can run kubectl get all to view all objects created when KubeDirector was deployed:
