I just want to build an ACK Cluster (Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes) to play with the various Security and Data Management capabilities for Containers e.g. Security Scans, Backup/Restore, Disaster Recovery and Application Mobility.

It is challenging to create an ACK cluster from Alibaba Cloud if you are not familiar to it. After the ACK Cluster is up running, you still need to create a sample DB, create policies etc.. The whole process is not that simple.

This script based automation allows you to build a ready-to-use ACK cluster with PostgreSQL deployed in about 10 minutes with just 1 Command. If you prefer to create an ACK Cluster via Web Console or API, you can watch the Youtube videos and follow the guide to build one on Alibaba Cloud.
