Google Kubernetes Engine: Running a MongoDB Database in Kubernetes with StatefulSets
Overview Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration tool that handles the complexities of running containerized applications. You can run Kubernetes applications with Kubernetes Engine—a Google Cloud computing service that offers many different customizations and integrations. In this lab, you will get some practical experience with Kubernetes by learning how to set up a MongoDB database with […]
Google Cloud: Working with Google Kubernetes Engine Secrets and ConfigMaps
In this lab, you set up configuration information, both encrypted and unencrypted. Encrypted configuration information is stored as secrets. Unencrypted configuration information is stored as ConfigMaps. This approach avoids hard coding such information into code bases. Credentials (like API keys) that belong in secrets should never travel inside code repositories like GitHub (unless they are […]
Google Cloud: Deploying Apps using Git and Kubernetes Engine
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) provides a managed environment for deploying, managing, and scaling your containerized applications using Google infrastructure. The GKE environment consists of multiple machines (specifically, Compute Engine instances) grouped together to form a cluster. In this lab, we will download a sample app from GitHub and learn how to deploy applications to Kubernetes Engine. Download a sample app from […]
Google Cloud: Configuring Kubernetes Cluster in GCP and Deploy Container
In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to deploy Kubernetes cluster and containers with ease with Google Cloud. Please perform the below steps: Confirm that needed APIs are enabled In the GCP Console, on the Navigation menu click APIs & Services. Scroll down in the list of enabled APIs, and confirm that both of these APIs are […]
Kubernetes: Working with Pods, Namespaces, Labels and Scaling Up / Down your Deployments
While My previous Tutorial “Kubernetes: Configuring Kubernetes Cluster” Provides detailed Information about how to set up the Kubernetes cluster, In this article, we are going to discuss Pods, Namespaces, Labels, and Scaling Up / Down your Deployments. Let’s discuss each topic one by one in detail: Pods: Pods are the smallest, most basic deployable objects in Kubernetes. […]
Kubernetes : Configuring Kubernetes Cluster
Introduction: Kubernetes (commonly stylized as k8s is an open-source container–orchestration system for automating computer application deployment, scaling, and management. It was originally designed by Google and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. It aims to provide a “platform for automating deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers across clusters of hosts”. It works with a range of container tools and runs containers in […]
