Part 4: Conclusion¶

Thank you for participating in the workshop! Let's recap some of the key takeways that we've learned:

We learned how to create a Kubernetes cluster using Cluster API Provider Packet.
We learned how to configure Cloud Provider Equinix Metal to set up service load balancers for us.
We learned how to deploy a sample application to our Kubernetes cluster.

Next Steps¶

You may wish to delete your kubernetes cluster to avoid incurring any costs. You can do this by running the following command:

Bash

export KUBECONFIG=kubeconfig-kind
kubectl delete cluster my-lbaas-demo

Then verify that the machines are deleted from your project.

You can also delete the entire project. This will delete all resources in the project, including the machines and the project itself.

Here are a few other resources to look at to continue your Equinix Metal journey:

Deploy @ Equinix: A one-stop shop for blogs, guides, and plenty of other resources.
Equinix Metal Docs: Equinix Metal official documentation.
Equinix Metal APIs: Programmatically interact with Equinix Metal
Equinix Labs: Provides SDKs and Terraform modultes for Infrastructure as Code tools.
Equinix Community: A global community for customers and Equinix users.
