kind create cluster --name=clusterapi
kubectl cluster-info --context kind-clusterapi

Because the Docker provider needs to access Docker on the host, a custom kind cluster configuration is required:

cat > kind-cluster-with-extramounts.yaml <<EOF
kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha3
nodes:
- role: control-plane
  extraMounts:
    - hostPath: /var/run/docker.sock
      containerPath: /var/run/docker.sock
EOF
kind create cluster --config ./kind-cluster-with-extramounts.yaml --name clusterapi
kubectl cluster-info --context kind-clusterapi

Check the Kubeadm provider releases for an up-to-date components file.

kubectl create -f https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-bootstrap-provider-kubeadm/releases/download/v0.1.7/bootstrap-components.yaml

Install clusterawsadm

Download the latest binary of clusterawsadm from the AWS provider releases and make sure to place it in your path.

Create the components

Check the AWS provider releases for an up-to-date components file.

# Create the base64 encoded credentials using clusterawsadm.
# This command uses your environment variables and encodes
# them in a value to be stored in a Kubernetes Secret.
export AWS_B64ENCODED_CREDENTIALS=$(clusterawsadm alpha bootstrap encode-aws-credentials)

# Create the components.
curl -L https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-aws/releases/download/v0.4.10/infrastructure-components.yaml \
  | envsubst \
  | kubectl create -f -

Check the Azure provider releases for an up-to-date components file.

# Create the base64 encoded credentials
export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID_B64="$(echo -n "$AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID" | base64 | tr -d '\n')"
export AZURE_TENANT_ID_B64="$(echo -n "$AZURE_TENANT_ID" | base64 | tr -d '\n')"

It is required to use an official CAPV machine image for your vSphere VM templates. See Uploading CAPV Machine Images for instructions on how to do this.

# Upload vCenter credentials as a Kubernetes secret
