## GuestBook example
|
|
|
|
This example shows how to build a simple multi-tier web application using Kubernetes and Docker. It consists of a web frontend, a redis master for storage and a replicated set of redis slaves.
|
|
|
|
### Step Zero: Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
This example assumes that you have forked the repository and [turned up a Kubernetes cluster](../../docs/getting-started-guides):
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cd kubernetes
|
|
$ hack/dev-build-and-up.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step One: Turn up the redis master.
|
|
|
|
Use the file `examples/guestbook-go/redis-master-controller.json` to create a replication controller which manages a single pod. The pod runs a redis key-value server in a container. Using a replication controller is the preferred way to launch long-running pods, even for 1 replica, so the pod will benefit from self-healing mechanism in kubernetes.
|
|
|
|
Create the redis master replication controller in your Kubernetes cluster using the `kubectl` CLI:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh create -f examples/guestbook-go/redis-master-controller.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once that's up you can list the replication controllers in the cluster:
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh get rc
|
|
CONTROLLER CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) SELECTOR REPLICAS
|
|
redis-master-controller redis-master gurpartap/redis name=redis,role=master 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
List pods in cluster to verify the master is running. You'll see a single redis master pod. It will also display the machine that the pod is running on once it gets placed (may take up to thirty seconds).
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh get pods
|
|
POD IP CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) HOST LABELS STATUS
|
|
redis-master-pod-hh2gd 10.244.3.7 redis-master gurpartap/redis kubernetes-minion-4.c.lucid-walker-725.internal/104.154.49.134 name=redis,role=master Running
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you ssh to that machine, you can run `docker ps` to see the actual pod:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
me@workstation$ gcloud compute ssh --zone us-central1-b kubernetes-minion-4
|
|
|
|
me@kubernetes-minion-3:~$ sudo docker ps
|
|
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS
|
|
d5c458dabe50 gurpartap/redis:latest "/usr/local/bin/redi 5 minutes ago Up 5 minutes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(Note that initial `docker pull` may take a few minutes, depending on network conditions.)
|
|
|
|
### Step Two: Turn up the master service.
|
|
A Kubernetes 'service' is a named load balancer that proxies traffic to one or more containers. The services in a Kubernetes cluster are discoverable inside other containers via environment variables or DNS. Services find the containers to load balance based on pod labels.
|
|
|
|
The pod that you created in Step One has the label `name=redis` and `role=master`. The selector field of the service determines which pods will receive the traffic sent to the service. Use the file `examples/guestbook-go/redis-master-service.json` to create the service in the `kubectl` cli:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh create -f examples/guestbook-go/redis-master-service.json
|
|
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh get services
|
|
NAME LABELS SELECTOR IP PORT
|
|
redis-master <none> name=redis,role=master 10.0.186.234 6379
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will cause all new pods to see the redis master apparently running on $REDIS_MASTER_SERVICE_HOST at port 6379, or running on 'redis-master:6379'. Once created, the service proxy on each node is configured to set up a proxy on the specified port (in this case port 6379).
|
|
|
|
### Step Three: Turn up the replicated slave pods.
|
|
Although the redis master is a single pod, the redis read slaves are a 'replicated' pod. In Kubernetes, a replication controller is responsible for managing multiple instances of a replicated pod.
|
|
|
|
Use the file `examples/guestbook-go/redis-slave-controller.json` to create the replication controller:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh create -f examples/guestbook-go/redis-slave-controller.json
|
|
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh get rc
|
|
CONTROLLER CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) SELECTOR REPLICAS
|
|
redis-master-controller redis-master gurpartap/redis name=redis,role=master 1
|
|
redis-slave-controller redis-slave gurpartap/redis name=redis,role=slave 2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The redis slave configures itself by looking for the redis-master service name:port pair. In particular, the redis slave is started with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
redis-server --slaveof redis-master 6379
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once that's up you can list the pods in the cluster, to verify that the master and slaves are running:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh get pods
|
|
POD IP CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) HOST LABELS STATUS
|
|
redis-master-pod-hh2gd 10.244.3.7 redis-master gurpartap/redis kubernetes-minion-4.c.lucid-walker-725.internal/104.154.49.134 name=redis,role=master Running
|
|
redis-slave-controller-i7hvs 10.244.2.7 redis-slave gurpartap/redis kubernetes-minion-3.c.lucid-walker-725.internal/104.154.52.39 name=redis,role=slave Running
|
|
redis-slave-controller-nyxxv 10.244.1.6 redis-slave gurpartap/redis kubernetes-minion-2.c.lucid-walker-725.internal/130.211.144.5 name=redis,role=slave Running
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will see a single redis master pod and two redis slave pods.
|
|
|
|
### Step Four: Create the redis slave service.
|
|
|
|
Just like the master, we want to have a service to proxy connections to the read slaves. In this case, in addition to discovery, the slave service provides transparent load balancing to clients. The service specification for the slaves is in `examples/guestbook-go/redis-slave-service.json`
|
|
|
|
This time the selector for the service is `name=redis,role=slave`, because that identifies the pods running redis slaves. It may also be helpful to set labels on your service itself--as we've done here--to make it easy to locate them later.
|
|
|
|
Now that you have created the service specification, create it in your cluster with the `kubectl` CLI:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh create -f examples/guestbook-go/redis-slave-service.json
|
|
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh get services
|
|
NAME LABELS SELECTOR IP PORT
|
|
redis-master <none> name=redis,role=master 10.0.186.234 6379
|
|
redis-slave name=redis,role=slave name=redis,role=slave 10.0.22.180 6379
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step Five: Create the guestbook pod.
|
|
|
|
This is a simple Go net/http ([negroni](https://github.com/codegangsta/negroni) based) server that is configured to talk to either the slave or master services depending on whether the request is a read or a write. It exposes a simple JSON interface, and serves a jQuery-Ajax based UX. Like the redis read slaves it is a replicated service instantiated by a replication controller.
|
|
|
|
The pod is described in the file `examples/guestbook-go/guestbook-controller.json`. Using this file, you can turn up your guestbook with:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh create -f examples/guestbook-go/guestbook-controller.json
|
|
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh get replicationControllers
|
|
CONTROLLER CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) SELECTOR REPLICAS
|
|
guestbook-controller guestbook kubernetes/guestbook:v2 name=guestbook 3
|
|
redis-master-controller redis-master gurpartap/redis name=redis,role=master 1
|
|
redis-slave-controller redis-slave gurpartap/redis name=redis,role=slave 2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once that's up (it may take ten to thirty seconds to create the pods) you can list the pods in the cluster, to verify that the master, slaves and guestbook frontends are running:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh get pods
|
|
POD IP CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) HOST LABELS STATUS
|
|
guestbook-controller-182tv 10.244.2.8 guestbook kubernetes/guestbook:v2 kubernetes-minion-3.c.lucid-walker-725.internal/104.154.52.39 name=guestbook Running
|
|
guestbook-controller-jzjpe 10.244.0.7 guestbook kubernetes/guestbook:v2 kubernetes-minion-1.c.lucid-walker-725.internal/104.154.37.86 name=guestbook Running
|
|
guestbook-controller-zwk1b 10.244.3.8 guestbook kubernetes/guestbook:v2 kubernetes-minion-4.c.lucid-walker-725.internal/104.154.49.134 name=guestbook Running
|
|
redis-master-pod-hh2gd 10.244.3.7 redis-master gurpartap/redis kubernetes-minion-4.c.lucid-walker-725.internal/104.154.49.134 name=redis,role=master Running
|
|
redis-slave-controller-i7hvs 10.244.2.7 redis-slave gurpartap/redis kubernetes-minion-3.c.lucid-walker-725.internal/104.154.52.39 name=redis,role=slave Running
|
|
redis-slave-controller-nyxxv 10.244.1.6 redis-slave gurpartap/redis kubernetes-minion-2.c.lucid-walker-725.internal/130.211.144.5 name=redis,role=slave Running
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will see a single redis master pod, two redis slaves, and three guestbook pods.
|
|
|
|
### Step Six: Create the guestbook service.
|
|
|
|
Just like the others, you want a service to group your guestbook pods. The service specification for the guestbook is in `examples/guestbook-go/guestbook-service.json`. There's a twist this time - because we want it to be externally visible, we set the `createExternalLoadBalancer` flag on the service.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh create -f examples/guestbook-go/guestbook-service.json
|
|
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh get services
|
|
NAME LABELS SELECTOR IP PORT
|
|
guestbook <none> name=guestbook 10.0.12.110 3000
|
|
redis-master <none> name=redis,role=master 10.0.186.234 6379
|
|
redis-slave name=redis,role=slave name=redis,role=slave 10.0.22.180 6379
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To play with the service itself, find the external IP of the load balancer:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh get services guestbook -o template --template='{{index . "publicIPs"}}'
|
|
current-context: "kubernetes-satnam_kubernetes"
|
|
Running: cluster/../cluster/gce/../../_output/dockerized/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl get services guestbook -o template --template={{index . "publicIPs"}}
|
|
[104.154.87.59]$
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
and then visit port 3000 of that IP address e.g. `http://104.154.87.59:3000`.
|
|
|
|
You may need to open the firewall for port 3000 using the [console][cloud-console] or the `gcloud` tool. The following command will allow traffic from any source to instances tagged `kubernetes-minion`:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ gcloud compute firewall-rules create --allow=tcp:3000 --target-tags=kubernetes-minion kubernetes-minion-3000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are running Kubernetes locally, you can just visit http://localhost:3000
|
|
For details about limiting traffic to specific sources, see the [GCE firewall documentation][gce-firewall-docs].

|
|
|
|
### Step Seven: Cleanup
|
|
|
|
You should delete the service which will remove any associated resources that were created e.g. load balancers, forwarding rules and target pools. All the resources (replication controllers and service) can be deleted with a single command:
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cluster/kubectl.sh delete -f examples/guestbook-go
|
|
current-context: "kubernetes-satnam_kubernetes"
|
|
Running: cluster/../cluster/gce/../../_output/dockerized/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl delete -f examples/guestbook-go
|
|
guestbook-controller
|
|
guestbook
|
|
redis-master-controller
|
|
redis-master
|
|
redis-slave-controller
|
|
redis-slave
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
However, the command will not delete the pods created by the replication controller. You can delete the pods manually.
|
|
If you want to delete the pods together, you can use the commands below instead.
|
|
``` shell
|
|
cluster/kubectl.sh stop -f examples/guestbook-go/guestbook-controller.json
|
|
cluster/kubectl.sh stop -f examples/guestbook-go/redis-slave-controller.json
|
|
cluster/kubectl.sh stop -f examples/guestbook-go/redis-master-controller.json
|
|
cluster/kubectl.sh delete -f examples/guestbook-go/guestbook-service.json
|
|
cluster/kubectl.sh delete -f examples/guestbook-go/redis-slave-service.json
|
|
cluster/kubectl.sh delete -f examples/guestbook-go/redis-master-service.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To turn down a Kubernetes cluster:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cluster/kube-down.sh
|
|
```
