Question

Puppet Kubernetes How does puppetlabs kubernetes module communicate with the Kubernetes API

Answer 1

The Kubernetes module uses the kubeclient library to communicate with the Kubernetes API. So first we’ll need to install that. 

This will vary a little depending on how you installed Puppet, but for the latest version of puppet-agent you should run:

/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install kubeclient --no-ri --no-rdoc

With that installed we can install the module itself:

puppet module install garethr-kubernetes

This was to be installed manually while installing the garethr-kubernetes module but since this module is now updated to puppetlabs/kubernetes module, there is no need for explicit manual installation.
