Lab 1
In this lab you will set up your own workshop environment. You will need to start a machine on Strigo and create a deployment on Elastic Cloud. Let's get started!
Step 1: Start your Strigo environment
Step 1: Start your Strigo environment
We provide everyone with a fully configured machine on Strigo. We will use Minikube to create the Kubernetes cluster we will use in this workshop. Follow these steps to get access to your own machine:
Go to the Strigo event (link will be shared in the Zoom chat)
Log in with your Strigo account
Enter the token (token will be shared in the Zoom chat)
Great! Now, you should have access to the workshop environment. Start your own private machine:
Click "My lab" in the sidebar to start the creation of your machine (this will take a few minutes)
Check if your Kubernetes node is running by executing the following kubectl command. Minikube is starting up in the background and it takes 3 minutes or more before it is ready. Feel free to move on to step 2 and come back later to check if the Minikube node is ready
kubectl get nodes
You should get the following output
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
minikube Ready control-plane 3m44s v1.28.3
The Kubernetes cluster is ready! Let's move on and create an Elastic deployment to send our monitoring data to.
Step 2: Create your Elastic deployment
Step 2: Create your Elastic deployment
The easiest way to deploy an Elastic deployment is using Elastic Cloud. Log into your Elastic Cloud account. If you don't have an Elastic Cloud account, you can sign-up for a free trial.
Let's create a deployment. Select "Edit settings" to deploy it in AWS Ireland, because that's the same region as our Strigo machine.
Give your deployment a fun name
Cloud provider: AWS
Region: Ireland (eu-west-1)
Hardware profile: Storage optimized
Version: <latest version>
Go ahead and click "Create deployment".
In a few minutes your Elastic deployment will be ready!
⚠️ Make sure to save the deployment credentials.
