Demo: Preparing Kops install

First, we will setup a vagrant, and provision an Ubuntu Vm using vagrant and virtualbox.

Following are the steps to setup kops installation.

Step #1: Downlaod and install Virtualbox as per your platform – https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Step #2: Download and install vagrant as per your platform – https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

Note: Below steps are tested on MacOS.

Step #3: Create a directory named ubuntu-box, and goto that directory using below command.

$ mkdir $HOME/ubuntu-box
$ cd $HOME/ubuntu-box

Step #4: Run below commands to run Ubuntu Virtual machine. (On Vagrant website, you can find other boxes as well, if you want.)

vagrant init will create a Vagrantfile
$ vagrant init ubuntu/xenial64

vagrant up will use Virtualbox to setup this ubunut/xenial64 box for you.
This might take couple of minutes
$ vagrant up

Output:

➜  ubuntu-box vagrant up

    default: prevent things such as shared folders from working properly. If you see
    default: shared folder errors, please make sure the guest additions within the
    default: virtual machine match the version of VirtualBox you have installed on
    default: your host and reload your VM.
    default: 
    default: Guest Additions Version: 5.1.38
    default: VirtualBox Version: 5.2
==> default: Mounting shared folders...
    default: /vagrant => /Users/sushiver/ubuntu-box

Now do vagrant ssh-config to login to the virtual machine.
$ vagrant ssh-config

Output:

➜  ubuntu-box vagrant ssh-config
Host default
  HostName 127.0.0.1
  User vagrant
  Port 2222
  UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
  StrictHostKeyChecking no
  PasswordAuthentication no
  IdentityFile /Users/sushiver/ubuntu-box/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key
  IdentitiesOnly yes
  LogLevel FATAL

Important points for Windows Users:

Windows user should take a look at IdentityFile in above output. They must use private_key to connect to Virtual Machine using Putty tool.

Windows user will first convert private_key to public key using puttygen, and then use putty or WinSCP to connect to VM.

Windows user can also use vagrant ssh, but for that they need to install openssh-client on Windows machine.

Till now, you have setup Ubuntu virtual machine, and you are good to setup kops tool on it.
