How to access multiple Pods from outside cluster

Pod Communication with in node

Pod Communications across nodes

Service

Sample Service yaml

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: tomcat-svc
spec:
  selector:
    app: tomcat
  ports:
  - protocol: TCP
    port: 8080
    targetPort: 8080
    nodePort: 30001
  type: NodePort

• Run a service which exposes Whatever is running on Port 8080 on Pod to 30001 on the node
• Types of Exposing the Servcies
  • Node Port
  • Load Balancer: Natively can be run on cloud providers

Ingress

• Ingress is much like load balancer, but it is layer 7 load balancing
• It is application layer, which means it is http & https aware
• When Ingress is linked with DNS services, you can access Pods by DNS names

Deployment

• Controller for rolling out the deployments & undoing deployments

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  # Unique key of the Deployment instance
  name: deployment-example
spec:
  # 3 Pods should exist at all times.
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: tomcat
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        # Apply this label to pods and default
        # the Deployment label selector to this value
        app: tomcat
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: tomcat
        # Run this image
        image: tomcat:8
        ports:
          - containerPort: 8080
            protocol: TCP

• Execute

# first attempt
kubectl apply -f deploy.yml
kubectl get deployments
kubectl get rs

• Make changes to YAML

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  # Unique key of the Deployment instance
  name: deployment-example
spec:
  # 3 Pods should exist at all times.
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: tomcat
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        # Apply this label to pods and default
        # the Deployment label selector to this value
        app: tomcat
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: tomcat
        # Run this image
        image: tomcat:9
        ports:
          - containerPort: 8080
            protocol: TCP

• Execute the following commands

kubectl apply -f deploy.yaml --record
kubectl get deployments
kubectl rollout status deployments deployment-example
kubectl rollout history deployments deployment-example

• If you look at history, every deployment has a revision. You can go back to earlier revisions

kubectl rollout undo deployments deployment-example --to-revision=1

• Note: use above example with svc enabled.
