Installing Kubernetes Addons

With kops you manage addons by using kubectl.

Addons in kubernetes are traditionally done by copying files to /etc/kubernetes/addons on the master. But this doesn't really make sense in HA master configurations. We also have kubectl available, and addons is just a thin wrapper over calling kubectl.

This document describes how to install some common addons.

Dashboard

The dashboard project provides a nice administrative UI:

Install using:

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/kops/master/addons/dashboard/v1.1.0.yaml

And then navigate to https://<clustername>/ui

(/ui is an alias to https://<clustername>/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kubernetes-dashboard)

The login credentials are:

  • Username: admin
  • Password: get by running kops get secrets kube --type secret -oplaintext

Monitoring - Standalone

Monitoring supports the horizontal pod autoscaler.

Install using:

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/kops/master/addons/monitoring-standalone/v1.1.0.yaml
