We’d like to have the ability to add a DNS-record on the AWS Route53 when a Kubernetes Ingress resource is deployed and point this record to the URL of an AWS Load Balancer which is created by the ALB Ingress controller. To achieve this, the ExternalDNS can be used which will make API-requests to the… Read More »
The task is to create a Jenkins job to deploy Redis to Dev/Stage/Prod Kubernetes clusters. In the Redis: running Master-Slave replication in Kubernetes we did it manually to see how it’s working, now it’s time to automate it. The main question is how to pass parameters for different environments during the deployment? I’d like to… Read More »
One day I wondered – how is load balancing between pods is working in Kubernetes? I.e. – we have an external Load Balancer. Then a Service. And behind it – Pods. What happens when we are receiving a network packet from the world, and we have a few pods – how the traffic will be… Read More »
We have a project running in Kubernetes that needs to run SQL migrations during deployment. To run migrations need to clone a Github repository and run actually migrations stored in it. Currently, this is done with Kubernetes initContainers , and there are two of them – the first one with git clones the repository with… Read More »
Our project is growing, and more and more applications are started on the AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service. Finally, we’ve faced with the question already mentioned in the Helm: пошаговое создание чарта и деплоймента из Jenkins (Rus) – what to do with Kubernetes manifests and Helm templates when using a lot of similar applications?

We have an application – an old version, and a new one, and two domains for them. The application is working on AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service, behind an AWS LoadBalancer created with AWS ALB Ingress Controller. The task is to create a redirect from the old domain’s Ingress to a new LoadBalancer: old URL: dev.api.old-example.com… Read More »
We have a Kubernetes cluster running on AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service. In this cluster, we have an application which is usually working fine but sometimes our monitoring system notifies about unhealthy pods: Check pods: [simterm] $ kk -n eks-prod-1-web-projectname-admin-backend-ns get pod NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE bttrm-web-projectname-admin-backend-64648597fc-9j29n 1/1 Running 0 43m bttrm-web-projectname-admin-backend-64648597fc-kptjj 1/1 Running 0… Read More »
The task is to spin up a Redis instance in a Kubernetes cluster. Will use the Master-Slave replication setup with Sentinels for monitoring and failover operations. Check the Redis: replication, part 2 – Master-Slave replication, and Redis Sentinel post for more details. Redis cluster vs Redis replication See Redis: replication, part 1 – an overview.… Read More »
Actually, this post was planned as a short note about using NodeAffinity for Kubernetes Pod: But then, as often happens, after starting writing about one thing, I faced another, and then another one, and as a result – I made this long-read post about Kubernetes load-testing. So, I’ve started about NodeAffinity, but then wondered how… Read More »
Continuing with the Kubernetes: monitoring with Prometheus – exporters, a Service Discovery, and its roles, where we configured Prometheus manually to see how it’s working – now, let’s try to use Prometheus Operator installed via Helm chart. So, the task is spin up a Prometheus server and all necessary exporter in an AWS Elastic Kubernetes… Read More »
