jx create cluster

Create a new Kubernetes cluster

Synopsis

This command creates a new Kubernetes cluster, installing required local dependencies and provisions the Jenkins X platform

You can see a demo of this command here: https://jenkins-x.io/demos/create_cluster/

Valid Kubernetes providers include:

* aks (Azure Container Service - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks)
* eks (Amazon Web Services Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started.html)
* gke (Google Container Engine - https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine)
# icp (IBM Cloud Private) - https://www.ibm.com/cloud/private
* iks (IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service - https://console.bluemix.net/docs/containers)
* kubernetes for custom installations of Kubernetes
* openshift for installing on 3.9.x or later clusters of OpenShift

Depending on which cloud provider your cluster is created on possible dependencies that will be installed are:

• kubectl (CLI to interact with Kubernetes clusters)
• helm (package manager for Kubernetes)
• draft (CLI that makes it easy to build applications that run on Kubernetes)
• virtualisation drivers (to run Minikube in a VM)
• gcloud (Google Cloud CLI)
• oci (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure CLI)
• az (Azure CLI)
• ibmcloud (IBM CLoud CLI)
