terraform-gke-helm

Terraform configuration for spinning up a Google kubernetes engine cluster with helm

1. Fill the terraform.tfvars with your own variables

2. Log in to gcloud cli and set the default project which you have previously created on GCP Dashboard

gcloud auth application-default login
export GOOGLE_PROJECT=$(gcloud config get-value project)

3. After terraform apply: point your kubeconfig file to the recently created gke cluster

gcloud container clusters get-credentials $(terraform output cluster_name) --zone $(terraform output cluster_zone)

4. Install helm

kubectl get pods -n dev

helm init --upgrade
kubectl create serviceaccount --namespace kube-system tiller
kubectl create clusterrolebinding tiller-cluster-rule --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kube-system:tiller
kubectl patch deploy --namespace kube-system tiller-deploy -p '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"serviceAccount":"tiller"}}}}'
