Deploy MinIO Through GKE

Pre-requisites

Additionally:

• gcloud
• kubectl
• Select the default project gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID

1. Create a GKE Cluster

Update the region and run the following command, for example --region=us-central1. This will create a cluster with 4 nodes in each zone of the region.

gcloud container clusters create minio-cluster \
--region=REGION \
--num-nodes=4 \
--machine-type=n2-standard-32

Configure kubectl to use minio-cluster

gcloud container clusters get-credentials minio-cluster --region=REGION

2. Deploy MinIO Object Storage

• Go to the Marketplace and click on CONFIGURE
• Select the cluster minio-cluster created from the previous step
• Fill out the details and click on DEPLOY

3. Get the JWT to login to Operator UI

kubectl -n minio-operator  get secret $(kubectl -n minio-operator get serviceaccount console-sa -o jsonpath="{.secrets[0].name}") -o jsonpath="{.data.token}" | base64 --decode

4. Port Forward into Operator UI

kubectl -n minio-operator port-forward svc/console 9090

5. Create a MinIO Tenant

Go to http://localhost:9090, enter the JWT from the previous step and create a tenant.
