This artifact demonstrates how to deploy a minimal Kubernetes (K8s) cluster on the FABRIC testbed using the FABlib API. It automates the creation of a controller and worker nodes across sites, sets up Layer 3 networking using FabNetv4, and installs Kubernetes components from scratch.

Key features include:

• Provisioning virtual machines across distributed sites
• Configuring dataplane networking with FabNetv4
• Installing and bootstrapping Kubernetes using kubeadm
• Deploying Flannel CNI with IPv6-aware configuration
• Joining worker nodes and deploying an nginx application

The notebook serves as a reference implementation for building Kubernetes clusters in research testbeds and can be extended to use Layer 2 networks or alternate CNIs.
