📝 Description:
Want to build your own Kubernetes cluster in the cloud? 🌩️
In this video, we’ll show you how to deploy a complete Kubernetes cluster using RKE2 (Rancher Kubernetes Engine v2) on Google Cloud Platform, step-by-step!
We’ll go from:
1. Spinning up Linux VMs on GCP
2. Installing and configuring RKE2 (control plane + worker node)
3. Fixing real-world issues like firewall ports & connection timeouts
4. Installing Rancher UI for browser-based cluster management
5. Deploying a sample NGINX app and accessing it in your browser
6. Finally, cleaning up everything to avoid extra GCP costs
💡 Whether you're new to Kubernetes or looking to get hands-on with RKE2, this project is a perfect blend of DevOps, cloud, and real-world debugging.
🛠️ Tools Used:
1. GCP (Compute Engine)
2. RKE2
3. kubectl
4. Helm
4. Rancher
5. NGINX
