To see all pods/services/deploymens, run
microk8s kubectl get all --all-namespaces
To avoid typing microk8s before kubectl, run
alias kubectl="microk8s kubectl"
You can add this to .bashrc to make it permanent.
To run an nginx container
root@ip-172-26-0-217:~# microk8s kubectl create deployment nginx --image=nginx:latest deployment.apps/nginx created root@ip-172-26-0-217:~# microk8s kubectl get pods NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE nginx-55649fd747-xngk5 1/1 Running 0 106s root@ip-172-26-0-217:~#
To expose the nginx deployment to public, run
kubectl expose deployment nginx --port 80 --target-port 80 --type ClusterIP --name nginx --external-ip 172.26.0.217
Here –external-ip 172.26.0.217 is IP of the node. In this case, it is internal IP of Amazon ec2 sevrer (eth0 IP).
The above expose command create a service
root@ip-172-26-0-217:~# kubectl get services NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE kubernetes ClusterIP 10.152.183.1443/TCP 45m nginx ClusterIP 10.152.183.11 172.26.0.217 80/TCP 8s root@ip-172-26-0-217:~#
To undo the expose command, you need to delete the service with name nginx.
root@ip-172-26-0-217:~# kubectl delete services nginx service "nginx" deleted root@ip-172-26-0-217:~#
