Cocktail

Combine two passions and this is what comes out of it.

I am a big fan of mixology. One day I decided I hated coming up with names for my Kubernetes clusters as I test stuff, and so Cocktail was born.

What is this?

Cocktail is a simple CLI that you can use to spit out a random cocktail name which you can use to name whatever, but I use it for Kubernetes cluster names as I have a difficult time coming up with them.

Installing

Like any other go packaage.

go get github.com/sharepointoscar/cocktail

Using Jenkins X CLI

I use Jenkins X on GKE and EKS (soon AKS), but here is how I quickly create my cluster passing the random name.

jx create cluster gke --skip-installation -n $(cocktail generate-name)

GCloud CLI usage

If you are using the gcloud CLI, you can just execute the following (add whatever other flags you want)

gcloud container clusters create $(cocktail generate-name)

eksctl CLI usage

eksctl create cluster --name $(cocktail generate-name)
