Scenario:

Let’s create a Virtual Kubernetes cluster with sealed-secrets installed in it in just 60 seconds with Klusternetes(KNTS)

Introduction :

Sealed-secrets:

The kubeseal utility uses asymmetric crypto to encrypt secrets that only the controller can decrypt.

Klusternetes:

Klusternetes is a platform that allows you to create a Kubernetes cluster in a few seconds. It also provides some of the leading DevOps tools as add-ons while creating your Cluster and provides a Service URL for add-ons that have UI.

Steps:

  • Login to the klusternetes App. If you don’t have an account in the Klusternetes app check here to create one.

  • After editing the config, click on the “Save configuration” button and then click on the “Submit” Button.
  • That’s it; you created a Klusternetes cluster with sealed-secrets installed in it. Now you can download the kubeconfig of the cluster by clicking on the download button. It will show you the command’s to download.
  • You can get the download option even on your cluster list page. Click on “Done”. Now you will be on the main page of your account.
