- Development Environment Setup
- Containerize the application
- Deploy the application to local Kubernetes Cluster
- Push the image to Azure Container Registry using the Azure CLI
- Create AKS cluster using the Azure CLI
- Deploy the application to AKS Cluster using .yml file
- Scale the application and Kubernetes infrastructure
- Update the application then push the image to ACR and update deployment
Development Environment Setup
- Install Docker
- Enable Kubernetes Cluster on Docker, under Docker -> Settings
- Install Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell modules
Containerize the application
- Clone this repo to a folder
- Open a command prompt and navigate to your project folder.
- Use the following commands to build and run your Docker image:
- View the .Net Core application running from a container by navigating to localhost:8000
Deploy the application to local Kubernetes Cluster
-
Deploy docker image to Kubernetes
-
kubectlcommand- to verify the deployment:
kubectl get deployments - to verify the replicasets:
kubectl get rs - to verify the Pods:
kubectl get pods
- to verify the deployment:
- Expose the application to outside world, use the following command
- Verify the service
-
Finally access the app using browser: http://localhost:31057
Push the image to Azure Container Registry using the Azure CLI
- Login to Azure
- Create Azure Resource Group
- Create Azure Container Registry
-
- Verify the Azure Container Registry
- Verify the Azure Container Registry
- Push the image to Azure Container Registry
- Login to Azure Container Registry
-
- Tag the docker image prior to push the image to Azure Container Registry
-
- Push the tagged image to Azure Container Registry
-
- Verify the repository in Azure Container Registry
Create AKS cluster using the Azure CLI
AKS uses the Service Principal to access other Azure Services like the Azure Container Registry (ACR). It is recommended to register an application in Azure AD and create an identity for the application (i.e. Service Principal)
-
Create Service Principal
- Create acrID variable
- Create a role assignment with appid and acrID
- Create AKS Cluster
- Get the AKS cluster credentials to update local environment
- Verify the AKS Cluster in Azure Cloud
Deploy the application to AKS Cluster using .yml file
- Below is the content of
kubeservice-deploy.ymlfile:
- Deploy the application to AKS Cluster
- To monitor the service deployment
Scale the application and Kubernetes infrastructure
Scaling Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Cluster nodes
- Get the current nodes
- Scaling nodes
- Get the current nodes after scaling
Scaling Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Cluster pods
- Verify the current replicas # of application
- Verify the current deployment
- Scale the pods to 5
- Verify the current deployment after scale
- Verify the current replicas # of application
Update the application then push the image to ACR and update deployment
-
Change the application
-
Create a new image
docker build . -t vvkubeserviceacr.azurecr.io/kubeservice:v2 -
Push the image to Azure Container Registry
- Update the deployment
- To monitor the deployment
- Test the updated application
-
Run the application to see the changes made by navigating to the url: http://137.135.124.83
