Deploying a Simple Service to Kubernetes

Deployments and services are at the core of what makes Kubernetes a great way to manage complex application infrastructures. In this hands-on lab, you will have an opportunity to get hands-on with a Kubernetes cluster and build a simple deployment, coupled with a service providing access to it. You will create a deployment and a service which can be accessed by other pods in the cluster.

  1. Challenge

    Create a deployment for the store-products service with four replicas.

    1. Log in to the Kube master node.

    2. Create the deployment with four replicas:

      cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f -
      apiVersion: apps/v1
      kind: Deployment
      metadata:
        name: store-products
        labels:
          app: store-products
      spec:
        replicas: 4
        selector:
          matchLabels:
            app: store-products
        template:
          metadata:
            labels:
              app: store-products
          spec:
            containers:
            - name: store-products
              image: linuxacademycontent/store-products:1.0.0
              ports:
              - containerPort: 80
      EOF
      
  2. Challenge

    Create a store-products service and verify that you can access it from the busybox testing pod.

    1. Create a service for the store-products pods:

      cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f -
      kind: Service
      apiVersion: v1
      metadata:
        name: store-products
      spec:
        selector:
          app: store-products
        ports:
        - protocol: TCP
          port: 80
          targetPort: 80
      EOF
      
    2. Make sure the service is up in the cluster:

      kubectl get svc store-products
      

      The output will look something like this:

      NAME             TYPE        CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)   AGE
      store-products   ClusterIP   10.104.11.230   <none>        80/TCP    59s
      
    3. Use kubectl exec to query the store-products service from the busybox testing pod.

      kubectl exec busybox -- curl -s store-products
