Create a resource by command line, filename or stdin.
Create a resource:
- cluster
- instancegroup
- secret
Create a cluster, instancegroup or secret using command line parameters, YAML configuration specification files, or stdin. (Note: secrets cannot be created from YAML config files yet).
kops create -f FILENAME [flags]
# Create a cluster from the configuration specification in a YAML file
kops create -f my-cluster.yaml
# Create secret from secret spec file
kops create -f secret.yaml
# Create an instancegroup based on the YAML passed into stdin.
cat instancegroup.yaml | kops create -f -
# Create a cluster in AWS
kops create cluster --name=kubernetes-cluster.example.com \
--state=s3://kops-state-1234 --zones=eu-west-1a \
--node-count=2 --node-size=t2.micro --master-size=t2.micro \
--dns-zone=example.com
# Create an instancegroup for the k8s-cluster.example.com cluster.
kops create ig --name=k8s-cluster.example.com node-example \
--role node --subnet my-subnet-name
# Create a new ssh public key called admin.
kops create secret sshpublickey admin -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub \
--name k8s-cluster.example.com --state s3://example.com
-f, --filename strings Filename to use to create the resource
-h, --help help for create
--alsologtostderr log to standard error as well as files
--config string yaml config file (default is $HOME/.kops.yaml)
--log_backtrace_at traceLocation when logging hits line file:N, emit a stack trace (default :0)

--name string Name of cluster. Overrides KOPS_CLUSTER_NAME environment variable
--skip_headers If true, avoid header prefixes in the log messages
--skip_log_headers If true, avoid headers when opening log files
--state string Location of state storage (kops 'config' file). Overrides KOPS_STATE_STORE environment variable
--stderrthreshold severity logs at or above this threshold go to stderr (default 2)
-v, --v Level number for the log level verbosity
--vmodule moduleSpec comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging
