Introduction to kubectl

Deployment of the needed description in kubernetes

These are two approaches to create the description in Kuberentes:

# create a namespace 
kubectl create namespace web-test

# Then choose one of the following ways:
# (1) Create the description
kubectl create -f nginx.yml -f service.yml

# (2) Create or update descriptions if existing
kubectl apply -f nginx.yml -f service.yml

To show it is working

Here are some useful commands:

# show nodes
kubectl get nodes

# show pods for our namespace
kubectl get -n web-test pods 

# show deployments for our namespace
kubectl get -n web-test deployment

# show services for our namespace
kubectl get -n web-test service

# show logs of deployed nginx instances
kubectl logs -n web-test deployment/nginx-deployment

Scaling up and down

# scale up instances to 5
kubectl scale deployment/nginx-deployment --replicas=5

# scale down instances again to 3
kubectl scale deployment/nginx-deployment --replicas=3

To see it is working in the browser ;)

The nginx instances are reachable at the floating ips of the node-instances at port 30007 in our case.

Many other things can be done ;)

Autoscaling
Detailled Service functions (LoadBalancer, ...)
Dashboard
FaaS Setup ;)
...
