How to deploy on Canonical Kubernetes
Canonical Kubernetes is a Kubernetes service built on Ubuntu and optimized for most major public clouds.
This guide shows you how to deploy Charmed MySQL K8s to Canonical Kubernetes.
Summary
This guide assumes you have a spare hardware/VMs running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (or newer).
Install Canonical Kubernetes
The following instructions are a complete but summarized version of the steps for installing Canonical K8s. For more thorough instructions and details, see the official Canonical Kubernetes documentation: Install Canonical Kubernetes from a snap.
Install, bootstrap, and check the status of Canonical K8s with the following commands:
sudo snap install k8s --edge --classic
sudo k8s bootstrap
sudo k8s status --wait-ready
Once Canonical K8s is up and running, enable the local storage (or any another persistent volumes provider, to be used by Juju Storage later):
sudo k8s enable local-storage
sudo k8s status --wait-ready
(Optional) Install kubectl tool and dump the K8s config:
sudo snap install kubectl --classic
mkdir ~/.kube
sudo k8s config > ~/.kube/config
kubectl get namespaces # to test the credentials
Install Juju
Install Juju and bootstrap the first Juju controller in K8s:
sudo snap install juju --channel 3.6/candidate
juju add-k8s ck8s --client --context-name="k8s"
juju bootstrap ck8s
Deploy Charmed MySQL K8s
juju add-model mysql
juju deploy mysql-k8s --trust
follow the deployment progress using:
juju status --watch 1s
Example output:
