Kubernetes Cluster Deployment Guide

This guide describes how to deploy a Kubernetes cluster tailored to your environment using the provided redbutton.sh script.

⚙️ Pre-requisites

Before running the deployment script, ensure the following are in place:

• kubectl and helm are installed on your local machine
• The remote user can execute sudo commands without a password prompt
• SSH host keys of the target nodes are already added to your system (to avoid interactive confirmation prompts)

🧭 Deployment Goals

This setup will create a Kubernetes cluster with the following topology and components:

• 1 Control Plane Node
• 2 Worker Nodes
• Calico as the CNI (Container Network Interface)
• MetalLB as the cloud load balancer for bare metal services (change the configmap to adapt it to your network)
• Traefik as the ingress controller on IP 10.50.3.30 (change it in the values.yaml to adapt it to your network)
• Longhorn as the persistent storage provider

🚀 How to Deploy

To initiate the deployment, run the provided script:

chmod +x init-deploy.sh
