Lets deploy a simple web application on workload cluster in Azure that is deployed in our previous post:

#Create new namespace called bba-news
reddye@reddye-a02 tkg % kubectl create ns bba-news
namespace/bba-news created

#List all namespaces

reddye@reddye-a02 tkg % kubectl get ns
NAME                        STATUS   AGE
bba-news                    Active   78s
default                     Active   21m
kube-node-lease             Active   21m
kube-public                 Active   21m
kube-system                 Active   21m
tanzu-package-repo-global   Active   20m
tkg-system                  Active   20m
tkg-system-public           Active   20m
  • Though we can create a deployment in declarative way, lets do it using yaml file:
# Create a yaml file with below content. ex: bbanews_deploy.yaml

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: bbanews-deploy
  namespace: bba-news
spec:
  strategy:
    type: Recreate
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: bbanews
  replicas: 3 # tells deployment to run 1 pods matching the template
  template: # create pods using pod definition in this template
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: bbanews
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: bbanews-con
        image: eknath009/nginx-bbanews
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80
  • Expose the service using a yaml file. You can also do it using kubectl expose command:
# Create a yaml file for services with below content. For ex: bbanews_service.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: bbanews-svc
  namespace: bba-news
  labels:
    app: bbanews
spec:
  ports:
  - name: http
    port: 80
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 80
  selector:
    app: bbanews
  type: LoadBalancer
#Execute below commands to create deployment and services: 

reddye@reddye-a02 scripts % kubectl apply -f bbanews_deploy.yaml
deployment.apps/bbanews-deploy created
reddye@reddye-a02 scripts % kubectl apply -f bbanews_service.yaml
service/bbanews-svc created

#List the services in bba-news namespace and note the load balancer IP

reddye@reddye-a02 scripts % kubectl get svc -n bba-news
NAME          TYPE           CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP     PORT(S)        AGE
bbanews-svc   LoadBalancer   100.68.216.230   20.204.226.62   80:32489/TCP   6m24s

#Check the status of deployment

reddye@reddye-a02 scripts % kubectl get deploy -n bba-news
NAME             READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
bbanews-deploy   3/3     3            3           15m

Check the load balancer IP through Azure portal: 

  • Navigate to Azure portal > Load Balancers > { workload cluster name }  > Frontend IP configuration.

 

Web page is accessible on Load balancer IP:
