Get-Er-Dun; Helm Charts Edition

by EarpMoonWater, posted in Helm, kubernetes

Goal:

Quick our homework is due in a half hour…lets copy (leverage…refer..) your buddies! But how can we do it the quickest way possible!? Helm charts you say? What are these… Helm Charts you speak of?

So your telling me I can modify a chart to access my application on a node port in the cluster & make changes? Well lets get-r-dun!

Lessons Learned:

  • Create a release of a Helm chart from the directory
  • Double-check the node port our homework isn’t the same on the node port cluster

Create a release of a Helm chart from the directory:

Double-check the node port our homework isnt the same on the node port cluster:

Just Deploy Kubernetes App w/Helm already!

by EarpMoonWater, posted in Helm, kubernetes

Goal:

Ever heard of Helm? Or Kubernetes? You have? … Are you lying? Nonetheless, below is how to use the tools to easily manage apps in Kubernetes.

Lessons Learned:

  • Do it. Just do it. Install Helm.
    • Helm has official installer script to grab latest version of Helm & install locally
  • Put the lime in the coconut…aka – Install a Helm Chart in the Cluster

Do it. Just do it. Install Helm:

Curl & chmod to get Helm:

Put the lime in the coconut…aka – Install a Helm Chart in the Cluster:

Add Bitnami, update chart listing, & install cert-manager namespace:

TF + EKS = Deployed Yo!

by EarpMoonWater, posted in aws, terraform

Goal:

Look man, I just wanna set up a tin EKS cluster w/a couple nodes using Terraform.

Lessons Learned:

  • Configure AWS CLI
  • Deploy EKS Cluster
  • Deploy NGINX Pods
  • Destroy!!!

Configure AWS CLI:

Use Access & Secret Access Key:

Change Directory:

Review TF Configuration Files:

Deploy EKS Cluster:

Terraform init, plan, & apply:

Kubectl to chat w/yo EKS cluster:

Check to see your cluster is up & moving:

Deploy NGINX Pods:

Deploy to EKS Cluster:

Check again if your cluster is up… & MOVINGG!:

Destroy!!

Kubernetes Clusters w/EKS is Kewl as (S)hell!

by EarpMoonWater, posted in aws

Goal:

Shells are da bomb right? Just like in Mario Kart! Cloud Shell can be dope too in creating a Kubernetes cluster using EKS, lets party Mario.

Lessons Learned:

  • Create an EKS cluster in a Region
  • Deploy a Application to Mimic the Application
  • Use DNS name of Load Balancer to Test the Cluster

AWS Stuff:

Create user w/admin access for CLI, & download access keys:

Create EC2:

Create an EKS cluster in a Region:

Download AWS CLI v2, kubectl, ekcctl, & move directory files:

Create the cluster, connect, & verify running eksctl:

Deploy a Application to Mimic the Application

Run thru some kubectl applys to yaml files & test to see those pods running:

Use DNS name of Load Balancer to Test the Cluster:

  • Now curl the load balancer DNS name…walllll-ahhhhh

Kubernetes Cluster & Terraform

by EarpMoonWater, posted in aws, terraform

Goal:

Lets see if I can deploy a web app to my EKS cluster & Terraform. After EKS cluster is deployed w/Terraform I’ll provision the cluster & run Node.js & use MongoDB as the backend DB.

Basically it goes like this:

  • Web Browser – – – EKS Cluster – – – Public Endpoint
  • Namespace – – – Node.js – – – Docker Image Repository – – – MongoDB

Lessons Learned:

  • Deploy EKS Cluster w/Terraform:
  • Complete Terraform Configuration:
  • Deploy Web App w/Terraform:
  • Scale Kubernetes Web App:

Deploy EKS Cluster w/Terraform:

  • Cloud User – – – Security Credz – – – Access Keys
  • Add key details in CLI

Couple Commands to Leverage for Sanity Check:

  • LS files
  • Unzip
  • LS
  • CD
  • LS
    • Now can see all TF files

Terraform – init, fmt, apply:

Complete Terraform Configuration:

Double Check its Running:

Couple Commands:

Vim modules/pac-man/pac-man-deployment.tf:

Vim pac-man.tf:

Terraform – Fmt, Init, & Apply:

Deploy Web App w/Terraform:

Scale Kubernetes Web App:

Change Deployment Files

  • MongoDB = 2
  • Pacman Pods = 3

Prometheus 2 the movie, Featuring Kubernetes & Grafana

by EarpMoonWater, posted in aws

Goal:

Imma monitor a CI/CD pipeline w/3 tools, wanna see if we use Prometheus to synthesize the data & Grafana to display the data? Our goal is get some insight on performance dawg!

Lessons Learned:

  • Use Helm to install Grafana
  • Install Prometheus in Kubernetes Cluster
  • Install Grafana in Kubernetes Cluster

Use Helm to install Grafana

SSH into Master Public IP:

Initiate Helm:

Install Prometheus in Kubernetes Cluster

Create Prometheus YAML File:

Xbox Controller w/EKS & Terraform

by EarpMoonWater, posted in aws, terraform

Goal:

Okay, were not using Xbox controllers… but PS5 controllers! JK.. but what we will mess w/is deploy an EKS cluster to create admission controllers from a Terraform configuration file.

  • So what had happen was…
    • Deploy homebrew w/AWS CLI, kubectl, & terraform
    • Which will communicate to AWS EKS & VPC.
    • Got it? Okay dope, lets bounce.

Lessons Learned:

  • Installing Homebrew, AWS CLI, Kubernetes CLI, & Terraform
  • Deploy EKS Cluster

Install da Toolzz:

Homebrew:

Brew Install:

  • AWS CLI
  • Kubernetes-cli (kubectl)
  • Terraform

Deploy EKS Cluster

Create Access Keys:

Clone Repo:

Move into EKS Directory:

Initialize Directory:

Apply Terraform Configuration:
