GSP313/Challenge Lab – Create and Manage Cloud Resources: Challenge Lab
This challenge lab tests your skills and knowledge from the labs in the Create and Manage Cloud Resources quest. You should be familiar with the content of the labs before attempting this lab.
Lab Name: Create and Manage Cloud Resources: Challenge Lab (GSP313)
Task 1. Create a project jump host instance
You will use this instance to perform maintenance for the project.
Requirements:
- Name the instance
Instance name. - Use an f1-micro machine type.
- Use the default image type (Debian Linux).
The command for Task 1- Change the name of the instance
gcloud compute instances create nucleus-jumphost \
--network nucleus-vpc \
--zone us-east1-b \
--machine-type f1-micro \
--image-family debian-9 \
--image-project debian-cloud \
--scopes cloud-platform \
--no-addressTask 2. Create a Kubernetes service cluster
The team is building an application that will use a service running on Kubernetes. You need to:
- Create a cluster (in the us-east1-b zone) to host the service.
- Use the Docker container hello-app (
gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:2.0) as a placeholder; the team will replace the container with their own work later. - Expose the app to port
App port number.
The command for Task 2: Change the port Number
gcloud container clusters create nucleus-backend \
--num-nodes 1 \
--network nucleus-vpc \
--region us-east1
gcloud container clusters get-credentials nucleus-backend \
--region us-east1
kubectl create deployment hello-server \
--image=gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:2.0
kubectl expose deployment hello-server \
--type=LoadBalancer \
--port 8080Task 3. Set up an HTTP load balancer
You will serve the site via nginx web servers, but you want to ensure that the environment is fault-tolerant. Create an HTTP load balancer with a managed instance group of 2 nginx web servers. Use the following code to configure the web servers; the team will replace this with their own configuration later.
cat << EOF > startup.sh
#! /bin/bash
apt-get update
apt-get install -y nginx
service nginx start
sed -i -- 's/nginx/Google Cloud Platform - '"\$HOSTNAME"'/' /var/www/html/index.nginx-debian.html
EOFYou need to:
- Create an instance template.
- Create a target pool.
- Create a managed instance group.
- Create a firewall rule named as
Firewall ruleto allow traffic (80/tcp). - Create a health check.
- Create a backend service, and attach the managed instance group with named port (http:80).
- Create a URL map, and target the HTTP proxy to route requests to your URL map.
- Create a forwarding rule.
The command for Task 2: Change the Firewall rule
