Call on integrating a Kubernetes cluster for Scholarx platform - 2020-12-01T18:30:00Z

Attendees

@Gravewalker, @YohanAvishke, @piumal1999, @anjisvj, @Janeth_Fernando, @shyamal

These are the recommendations @shyamal and his colleagues made after reviewing the things that we had done,

  • kubectl expose deployment <NAME> --type=LoadBalancer --port=8080 :to expose services through a port.
  • Nord port -> Cluster IP: for the service type
  • Open shift - To research and find out
  • Shymal build and deploy an app on a pod as a load balancer service
  • To access using internet using a public load balancer or an ingress controller
  • If using an ingress controller, you need a public IP/domain. Config ingress to that domain/IP
  • If using a load balancer, you need to get a public load balancer service.
  • Nginx is good as an ingress controller
  • Use Kaliko(network manager) to set up Kubernetes: for the cloud deployment
  • You can access services using their namespace: service_name.namespace.svc.cluster.local
