  1. kops create -f FILENAME [flags]

Examples

  1.   # Create a cluster from the configuration specification in a YAML file
  2.   kops create -f my-cluster.yaml
  3.  
  4.   # Create secret from secret spec file
  5.   kops create -f secret.yaml
  6.  
  7.   # Create an instancegroup based on the YAML passed into stdin.
  8.   cat instancegroup.yaml | kops create -f -
  9.  
  10.   # Create a cluster in AWS
  11.   kops create cluster --name=kubernetes-cluster.example.com \
  12.   --state=s3://kops-state-1234 --zones=eu-west-1a \
  13.   --node-count=2 --node-size=t2.micro --master-size=t2.micro \
  14.   --dns-zone=example.com
  15.  
  16.   # Create an instancegroup for the k8s-cluster.example.com cluster.
  17.   kops create ig --name=k8s-cluster.example.com node-example \
  18.   --role node --subnet my-subnet-name
  19.  
  20.   # Create a new ssh public key called admin.
  21.   kops create secret sshpublickey admin -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub \
  22.   --name k8s-cluster.example.com --state s3://example.com

  7.       --log_file_max_size uint           Defines the maximum size a log file can grow to. Unit is megabytes. If the value is 0, the maximum file size is unlimited. (default 1800)

  11.       --skip_log_headers                 If true, avoid headers when opening log files
