1. Nginx

What Will You Do¶

For this exercise,

• You will configure and deploy Nginx as a workload (Kubernetes deployment) on a Controller managed Kubernetes cluster
• You will use the provided Kubernetes YAML for Nginx

Assumptions¶

• You have already provisioned or imported one or more Kubernetes clusters using the Controller

Step 1: Create Workload¶

• Login into the Console
• Navigate to your Project and Select "Applications"
• Click on "New Workload"
• Provide a Name, select "k8s Yaml" for Package Type
• Select a namespace where you would like to deploy.

Step 2: Upload YAML File¶

The YAML file describes a "Kubernetes Deployment" that runs the nginx:1.7.9 Docker image. We will be using this to create a Kubernetes Deployment object.

Copy the YAML file below and save it as a file called "nginx.yaml"

apiVersion: apps/v1 # for versions before 1.9.0 use apps/v1beta2
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nginx-deployment
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: nginx
  replicas: 2 # tells deployment to run 2 pods matching the template
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: nginx:1.7.9
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80

Step 3: Place and Deploy¶

• Click on "Save and Go To Placement"
• Select the cluster where you would like to deploy the Nginx YAML file

• Navigate to the "Publish" and click on Publish.

Step 4: Debug¶

• Once publish is successful, click on "Debug". You should see the pods for "Nginx" in a "Running" state.

Recap¶

Congratulations! You have successfully deployed Nginx on your Kubernetes Cluster.
