Create a Project
Before you begin
This tutorial assumes you have already registered an account and have installed and configured the necessary tools to interact with Datum.
Confirm your kubeconfig context
Ensure that your kubectl tool is configured to use the correct context to interact with your organization by running the following command:
kubectl config current-context
The output is similar to:
datum-organization-pp4zn7tiw5be3beygm2d6mbcfe
Create a project
Write the following project manifest to intro-project.yaml, replacing
RESOURCE_ID with your organization’s resource id.
Note that generateName is used here, which will result in a name with the prefix of
intro-project- and a random suffix.
apiVersion: resourcemanager.datumapis.com/v1alpha
kind: Project
metadata:
generateName: intro-project-
spec:
Create the project
kubectl create -f intro-project.yaml
The output is similar to:
project.resourcemanager.datumapis.com/intro-project-zj6wx created
Copy the generated project name, in this example it is intro-project-zj6wx.
Wait for the project’s control plane to become ready, which can take up to two
minutes. Exit the command once the control plane status is Ready.
kubectl get projects -w
The output is similar to:
NAME AGE CONTROL PLANE STATUS
intro-project-zj6wx 2s APIServerProvisioning
intro-project-zj6wx 22s ControllerManagerProvisioning
intro-project-zj6wx 43s NetworkServicesOperatorProvisioning
intro-project-zj6wx 64s WorkloadOperatorProvisioning
intro-project-zj6wx 106s InfraProviderGCPProvisioning
intro-project-zj6wx 2m3s Ready
Add a kubeconfig context for your project
Create a kubeconfig context to access your project’s resources by executing
following command, replacing PROJECT_NAME with your project’s name:
datumctl auth update-kubeconfig --project PROJECT_NAME
Confirm that the control plane is accessible:
kubectl explain locations.spec
GROUP: networking.datumapis.com
KIND: Location
VERSION: v1alpha
FIELD: spec <Object>
DESCRIPTION:
LocationSpec defines the desired state of Location.
