Lab 3.2 - we need to create a second node?

josepmaria

Hello,

I have just completed Lab 3,1 on a ubuntu VM.

After completition, K8s cluster only has 1 node (see screenshot attached)

Therefore, before we can start with Lab 3.2 we need to create a second node as a worker.

Instructions to create a second node to connect to are not provided.

Plesae kindly confirm and let me know if I missed anything.

Thank you and best regareds,

Josep Maria

If we follow this course using a VM, do we need to create a second VM that will act as a worker node?

Ok, I understand the answer is yes, this question can be marked as solved. Thank you.

Hi @josepmaria,

Yes, you are correct, a minimum of two VMs are required for the lab exercises. The latest release of the lab guide V_2024-09-30 is explicit about the fact that more than a single node are used.

In case they were missed before, I encourage you to revisit the Overview, descriptions, and notes found in the lab exercise 3.1 to confirm the requirements for the lab environment. You should find and take notice of entries such as: "adding more compute resources", "both nodes", "log into your ... nodes", "on your first node".
Once you reach lab exercise 3.2 you are instructed to access your "second node".
Also, pay close attention to the OS, size, and networking requirements of both VMs, as outlined by the Overview of lab exercise 3.1.

Regards,
-Chris
