Create a Project

Before you begin

Section titled “Before you begin”

This tutorial assumes you have already registered an account and have installed and configured the necessary tools to interact with Datum.

Confirm your kubeconfig context

Section titled “Confirm your kubeconfig context”

Ensure that your kubectl tool is configured to use the correct context to interact with your organization by running the following command:

Terminal window
kubectl config current-context

The output is similar to:

Terminal window
datum-organization-pp4zn7tiw5be3beygm2d6mbcfe

Create a project

Section titled “Create a project”

Write the following project manifest to intro-project.yaml, replacing RESOURCE_ID with your organization’s resource id.

Note that generateName is used here, which will result in a name with the prefix of intro-project- and a random suffix.

apiVersion: resourcemanager.datumapis.com/v1alpha
kind: Project
metadata:
  generateName: intro-project-
spec:

Create the project

Terminal window
kubectl create -f intro-project.yaml

The output is similar to:

Terminal window
project.resourcemanager.datumapis.com/intro-project-zj6wx created

Copy the generated project name, in this example it is intro-project-zj6wx.

Wait for the project’s control plane to become ready, which can take up to two minutes. Exit the command once the control plane status is Ready.

Terminal window
kubectl get projects -w

The output is similar to:

Terminal window
NAME                   AGE   CONTROL PLANE STATUS
intro-project-zj6wx   2s    APIServerProvisioning
intro-project-zj6wx   22s   ControllerManagerProvisioning
intro-project-zj6wx   43s   NetworkServicesOperatorProvisioning
intro-project-zj6wx   64s   WorkloadOperatorProvisioning
intro-project-zj6wx   106s   InfraProviderGCPProvisioning
intro-project-zj6wx   2m3s   Ready

Add a kubeconfig context for your project

Section titled “Add a kubeconfig context for your project”

Create a kubeconfig context to access your project’s resources by executing following command, replacing PROJECT_NAME with your project’s name:

Terminal window
datumctl auth update-kubeconfig --project PROJECT_NAME

Confirm that the control plane is accessible:

Terminal window
kubectl explain locations.spec
Terminal window
GROUP:      networking.datumapis.com
KIND:       Location
