You'll first need to get started with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service by setting up an IBM Cloud account. For details, see the getting started instructions. Then follow the steps below to create a cluster and run the conformance tests.
If you haven't already done so, install the IBM Cloud CLI and plugins for IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service. You may then create a cluster using the CLI or UI.
$ # Option 1: Create a cluster on classic infrastructure.
$ ibmcloud ks cluster create classic --name conformance --kube-version 1.17 --zone ZONE --machine-type TYPE --private-vlan VLAN --public-vlan VLAN --workers COUNT
$ # Option 2: Create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) cluster with worker nodes on Generation 1 infrastructure.
$ ibmcloud ks cluster create vpc-classic --name conformance --kube-version 1.17 --zone ZONE --flavor FLAVOR --vpc-id ID --subnet-id ID --workers COUNT
Go to IBM Cloud catalog
and select Kubernetes Service and follow the instructions to create a cluster.
Wait for the cluster and all worker nodes to reach normal state.
$ ibmcloud ks cluster config --admin --cluster conformance
$ ibmcloud ks cluster get --cluster conformance
$ ibmcloud ks workers --cluster conformance
Then follow the test instructions to run the conformance tests.
