2 - Provision Virtual machine with Hyper-V

Prerequisites:

• Windows 10
• Hyper-V

Virtual machine parameters:

Memory	2GB
Hard Drive	20GB

 

 

 

Provisioning:

1. Launch Hyper-V, click on new > Virtual Machine
   
   
   
2. Follow the wizard is easy to get one Virtual machine created. Click on Next from below screenshot.
   

3. Enter a name for your Virtual machine, i named it k8s-master, then click Next.

   

4. Pick Generation 1 from next screen, otherwise there will be some unpredictable issues.
   

5. Assign 2GB of memories to Virtual machine, and maybe better tick on Dynamic Memory from next screen.
   

6. From Networking screen, you can just keep it as default at the stage, we will have another separate post to teach you how to setup Network.

   

7. On Hard Driver scree, put 20GB for the Disk Size and keep rest of the fields as default.
   

8. From Installation options, importantly navigate to the CentOS image which you downloaded. Once we start the virtual machine, it will install CentOS from ISO image.

   Note: Baidu search for CentOS7 image download

   

    

9. Verify on the summary, We're now ready to GO, All set ! 
   

10. Click on Finish button from above, you will get a desired virtual machine provisioned.

    

11. Increase CPU core to 2
    As Kubernetes required at least 2 core of CPUs, we need to setup our Virtual machine to have 2 cores of CPU
    Right click on k8s-master -> settings -> Processor -> Number of virtual processors -> 2
    

     

12. Repeat the same as previous steps, to create another virtual machine k8s-node1.
13. So far so good. Coming next we will install CentOS and setup network for them.
