I'm following this guide to set up Kubernetes on an Ubuntu 14.04 image on AWS.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install curl
sudo apt-get install awscli
aws configure # enter credentials, etc.
# fix `locale` errors
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export KUBE_AWS_ZONE=us-east-1b
export NUM_NODES=2
export MASTER_SIZE=t2.micro
export NODE_SIZE=t2.micro
export AWS_S3_BUCKET=my.s3.bucket.kube
export AWS_S3_REGION=us-east-1b
export INSTANCE_PREFIX=k8s
export KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=aws
curl -sS https://get.k8s.io | bash
This fails, however...
ubuntu@ip-172-31-24-216:~$ curl -sS https://get.k8s.io | bash

Unpacking kubernetes release v1.2.4
Creating a kubernetes on aws...
... Starting cluster in us-east-1b using provider aws
... calling verify-prereqs
... calling kube-up
Starting cluster using os distro: jessie
Uploading to Amazon S3
+++ Staging server tars to S3 Storage: my.s3.bucket.kube/devel
usage: aws [options] <command> <subcommand> [parameters]
aws: error: argument --region: expected one argumentI tried editing cluster/aws/util.sh to print out s3_bucket_location (following advice from this question, and I get an empty string. I'm guessing that's why it fails?
The docs say an empty string for US East is normal, but I tried changing region (with everything else remaining the same) and I still get an empty string.
The s3 bucket does get created.
Any help would be appreciated.
Looks to me like you are getting region and zone confused.
Use the ec2-describe-regions command as follows to describe your regions.
PROMPT> ec2-describe-regions
REGION us-east-1 ec2.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
REGION ap-northeast-1 ec2.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com
REGION ap-southeast-1 ec2.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com
..
Use the ec2-describe-availability-zones command as follows to describe your Availability Zones within the us-east-1 region.
PROMPT> ec2-describe-availability-zones --region us-east-1
AVAILABILITYZONE us-east-1a available us-east-1
AVAILABILITYZONE us-east-1b available us-east-1
AVAILABILITYZONE us-east-1c available us-east-1
AVAILABILITYZONE us-east-1d available us-east-1be sure to use a region in export AWS_S3_REGION=
