The guestbook application uses Redis to store its data. It writes its data to a Redis master instance and reads data from multiple Redis slave instances.
-
Apply the Redis Master Deployment from the
redis-master-deployment.yaml
file:kubectl apply -f https://k8s.io/examples/application/guestbook/redis-master-deployment.yaml
-
Query the list of Pods to verify that the Redis Master Pod is running:
kubectl get pods
The response should be similar to this:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE redis-master-1068406935-3lswp 1/1 Running 0 28s
-
Run the following command to view the logs from the Redis Master Pod:
kubectl logs -f POD-NAME
Note: Replace POD-NAME with the name of your Pod.
The guestbook applications needs to communicate to the Redis master to write its data. You need to apply a Service to proxy the traffic to the Redis master Pod. A Service defines a policy to access the Pods.
-
Apply the Redis Master Service from the following
redis-master-service.yaml
file:kubectl apply -f https://k8s.io/examples/application/guestbook/redis-master-service.yaml
-
Query the list of Services to verify that the Redis Master Service is running:
kubectl get service
The response should be similar to this:
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE kubernetes ClusterIP 10.96.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 46h redis-master ClusterIP 10.103.95.1 <none> 6379/TCP 7s
Note: This manifest file creates a Service named
redis-master
with a set of labels that match the labels previously defined, so the Service routes network traffic to the Redis master Pod.
Although the Redis master is a single pod, you can make it highly available to meet traffic demands by adding replica Redis slaves.
Deployments scale based off of the configurations set in the manifest file. In this case, the Deployment object specifies two replicas.
If there are not any replicas running, this Deployment would start the two replicas on your container cluster. Conversely, if there are more than two replicas are running, it would scale down until two replicas are running.
-
Apply the Redis Slave Deployment from the
redis-slave-deployment.yaml
file:kubectl apply -f https://k8s.io/examples/application/guestbook/redis-slave-deployment.yaml
-
Query the list of Pods to verify that the Redis Slave Pods are running:
kubectl get pods
The response should be similar to this:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE redis-master-6fbbc44567-sxvjh 1/1 Running 0 66s redis-slave-74ccb764fc-smr7n 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 6s redis-slave-74ccb764fc-sps4r 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 6s
The guestbook application needs to communicate to Redis slaves to read data. To make the Redis slaves discoverable, you need to set up a Service. A Service provides transparent load balancing to a set of Pods.
-
Apply the Redis Slave Service from the following
redis-slave-service.yaml
file:kubectl apply -f https://k8s.io/examples/application/guestbook/redis-slave-service.yaml
-
Query the list of Services to verify that the Redis slave service is running:
kubectl get services
The response should be similar to this:
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE kubernetes ClusterIP 10.96.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 46h redis-master ClusterIP 10.103.95.1 <none> 6379/TCP 2m15s redis-slave ClusterIP 10.105.138.125 <none> 6379/TCP 7s
The guestbook application has a web frontend serving the HTTP requests written in PHP. It is configured to connect to the redis-master
Service for write requests and the redis-slave
service for Read requests.
-
Apply the frontend Deployment from the
frontend-deployment.yaml
file:kubectl apply -f https://k8s.io/examples/application/guestbook/frontend-deployment.yaml
-
Query the list of Pods to verify that the three frontend replicas are running:
kubectl get pods -l app=guestbook -l tier=frontend
The response should be similar to this:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE frontend-74b4665db5-vr6hf 1/1 Running 0 70s frontend-74b4665db5-z76vh 1/1 Running 0 70s frontend-74b4665db5-zg5kw 1/1 Running 0 70s
The redis-slave
and redis-master
Services you applied are only accessible within the container cluster because the default type for a Service is ClusterIP. ClusterIP
provides a single IP address for the set of Pods the Service is pointing to. This IP address is accessible only within the cluster.
-
Apply the frontend Service from the
frontend-service.yaml
file:kubectl apply -f https://k8s.io/examples/application/guestbook/frontend-service.yaml
-
Query the list of Services to verify that the frontend Service is running:
kubectl get services
The response should be similar to this:
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE frontend NodePort 10.99.225.158 <none> 80:30551/TCP 9s kubernetes ClusterIP 10.96.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 46h redis-master ClusterIP 10.103.95.1 <none> 6379/TCP 4m17s redis-slave ClusterIP 10.105.138.125 <none> 6379/TCP 2m9s
Open your browser with address http://kube-node01.kube.local:30551
Keep attention on port
30551
, you should change correspondent port show in your on output above.
Scaling up or down is easy because your servers are defined as a Service that uses a Deployment controller.
-
Run the following command to scale up the number of frontend Pods:
kubectl scale deployment frontend --replicas=5
-
Query the list of Pods to verify the number of frontend Pods running:
kubectl get pods
The response should look similar to this:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE frontend-74b4665db5-n2bsk 1/1 Running 0 8s frontend-74b4665db5-sf42s 1/1 Running 0 8s frontend-74b4665db5-vr6hf 1/1 Running 0 5m24s frontend-74b4665db5-z76vh 1/1 Running 0 5m24s frontend-74b4665db5-zg5kw 1/1 Running 0 5m24s redis-master-6fbbc44567-sxvjh 1/1 Running 0 8m45s redis-slave-74ccb764fc-smr7n 1/1 Running 0 7m45s redis-slave-74ccb764fc-sps4r 1/1 Running 0 7m45s
-
Run the following command to scale down the number of frontend Pods:
kubectl scale deployment frontend --replicas=2
-
Query the list of Pods to verify the number of frontend Pods running:
kubectl get pods
The response should look similar to this:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE frontend-74b4665db5-z76vh 1/1 Running 0 6m18s frontend-74b4665db5-zg5kw 1/1 Running 0 6m18s redis-master-6fbbc44567-sxvjh 1/1 Running 0 9m39s redis-slave-74ccb764fc-smr7n 1/1 Running 0 8m39s redis-slave-74ccb764fc-sps4r 1/1 Running 0 8m39s
Cleaning up (Don't clean if you enable LoadBalancer
)
Deleting the Deployments and Services also deletes any running Pods. Use labels to delete multiple resources with one command.
-
Run the following commands to delete all Pods, Deployments, and Services.
kubectl delete deployment -l app=redis kubectl delete service -l app=redis kubectl delete deployment -l app=guestbook kubectl delete service -l app=guestbook
The responses should be:
deployment.apps "redis-master" deleted deployment.apps "redis-slave" deleted service "redis-master" deleted service "redis-slave" deleted deployment.apps "frontend" deleted service "frontend" deleted
-
Query the list of Pods to verify that no Pods are running:
kubectl get pods
The response should be this:
No resources found.
