Task 1

Navigation menu->Compute Engine->VM instances->create->Name=nucleus-jumphost Machine configuration->series->N1->machine type->f1-micro Boot disk->Debian Linux

Task 2

Open Cloud Shell

-> gcloud auth list

-> gcloud config list project

-> gcloud config set compute/zone us-east1-b

-> gcloud container clusters create nucleus-jumphost-webserver1

-> gcloud container clusters get-credentials nucleus-jumphost-webserver1

-> kubectl create deployment hello-app — image=gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:2.0

-> kubectl expose deployment hello-app — type=LoadBalancer — port 8080

-> kubectl get service

Task 3

Type in the Cloud Shell

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
EOF

Create an instance template.

-> gcloud compute instance-templates create nginx-template — metadata-from-file startup-script=startup.sh

Create a target pool.

-> gcloud compute target-pools create nginx-pool

n/20->us-east1 \check for us-east1 zone on your screen and select number accordingly

Create a managed instance group.

-> gcloud compute instance-groups managed create nginx-group \
— base-instance-name nginx \
— size 2 \
— template nginx-template \
— target-pool nginx-pool

-> gcloud compute instances list

Create a firewall rule to allow traffic (80/tcp).

-> gcloud compute firewall-rules create www-firewall — allow tcp:80

-> gcloud compute forwarding-rules create nginx-lb \
— region us-east1 \
— ports=80 \
— target-pool nginx-pool

-> gcloud compute forwarding-rules list

Create a health check.

-> gcloud compute http-health-checks create http-basic-check

Create a backend service, and attach the managed instance group.

-> gcloud compute instance-groups managed set-named-ports nginx-group — named-ports http:80

-> gcloud compute backend-services create nginx-backend \
— protocol HTTP — http-health-checks http-basic-check — global

-> gcloud compute backend-services add-backend nginx-backend \
— instance-group nginx-group
— instance-group-zone us-east1-b
— global

Create a URL map, and target the HTTP proxy to route requests to your URL map.

-> gcloud compute url-maps create web-map — default-service nginx-backend

-> gcloud compute target-http-proxies create http-lb-proxy — url-map web-map

Create a forwarding rule.

-> gcloud compute forwarding-rules create http-content-rule \
— global \
— target-http-proxy http-lb-proxy \
— ports 80

-> gcloud compute forwarding-rules list
