Are you looking to streamline your Kubernetes management across various cloud providers? Meet Claudie, the platform that puts the power back into your hands, enabling you to manage multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud Kubernetes clusters with ease. Let’s explore how to get started with Claudie, using an analogy to help you through its setup and features.

Understanding Claudie Through An Analogy

Imagine you are painting a masterpiece on a large canvas, but your brushes are scattered across multiple toolkits. It can be quite a challenge to make your painting coherent and vibrant. Claudie acts like a master organizer for your toolkit, bringing together all the colors (cloud providers) and brushes (your on-premise resources) in one convenient space.

With Claudie’s capabilities, you can manage your colors (resources) optimally across different canvases (cloud environments) while ensuring everything blends seamlessly together in your masterpiece (Kubernetes clusters). Now, let’s get into the details of how to start using Claudie.

Getting Started with Claudie

Prerequisites

Before diving into Claudie’s features, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

• A running Kubernetes cluster, referred to as the Management Cluster.
• The cert-manager installed in your Management Cluster:

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.12.0/cert-manager.yaml

Supported Providers

Claudi is compatible with several cloud providers:

• AWS
• Azure
• GCP
• OCI
• Hetzner
• Cloudflare
• GenesisCloud

Installing Claudie

To install Claudie, execute the following command:

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/berops/claudie/releases/latest/download/claudie.yaml

For added security, you might want to deploy network policies as follows:

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/berops/claudie/releases/latest/download/network-policy.yaml

Deploy Your Kubernetes Cluster

Creating a Kubernetes cluster with Claudie includes defining Input Manifest resources. You will have to create Kubernetes Secret resources for your provider configuration:

kubectl create secret generic example-aws-secret-1 --namespace=mynamespace --from-literal=accesskey=myAwsAccessKey --from-literal=secretkey=myAwsSecretKey

Next, you can deploy your Input Manifest by formatting it like this:

kubectl apply -f - <

Troubleshooting Claudie

While using Claudie, you might encounter challenges such as:

• Authentication errors with your cloud provider credentials.
• Issues with the Input Manifest format.
• Network connectivity problems between the Management Cluster and the cloud providers.

If you run into issues, consider checking the relevant logs for error messages related to these challenges.
