The next task with our Kubernetes cluster is to set up its monitoring with Prometheus. This task is complicated by the fact, that there is the whole bunch of resources needs to be monitored: from the infrastructure side – ЕС2 WokerNodes instances, their CPU, memory, network, disks, etc key services of Kubernetes itself – its… Read More »
The task is: create automation to roll out an AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service cluster from scratch. Will use: Ansible: to automate CloudFormation stack creation and to execute eksctl with necessary parameters CloudFormation with NestedStacks: to create an infrastructure – VPC, subnets, SecurityGroups, IAM-roles, etc eksctl: to create a cluster itself using resources created by CloudFormation… Read More »
AWS ALB Ingress Controller for Kubernetes – is a Kubernetes controller which actually controls AWS Application Load Balancers (ALB) in an AWS account when an Ingress resource with the kubernetes.io/ingress.class: alb annotation is created in a Kubernetes cluster. This Ingress resource in its turn describes an ALB Listeners configuration with SSL termination or traffic routing… Read More »
The next task is to add a new user who will have access to check pods state and watch logs – any other operations must be prohibited. AWS EKS uses AWS IAM for authentification in a Kubernetes cluster (check the Kubernetes: part 4 – AWS EKS authentification, aws-iam-authenticator and AWS IAM post for details), bot… Read More »
Assuming, we already have an AWS EKS cluster with worker nodes. In this post – we will connect to a newly created cluster, will create a test deployment with an HPA – Kubernetes Horizontal Pod AutoScaler and will try to get information about resources usage using kubectl top. Kubernetes cluster Create a test cluster using… Read More »
We have a Gorush server from the Kubernetes: running a push-server with Gorush behind an AWS LoadBalancer post, and I’d like to ad an ability to configure it via a Github repository and run it with a different set of settings – for Staging and Production environments. Let’s use Kubernetes ConfigMap to store a config-file… Read More »
W have a ConfigMap for our Gorush service (see the Kubernetes: running a push-server with Gorush behind an AWS LoadBalancer post). The issue is that if change a value in this ConfigMap or Secrets -it will not be applied to already running pods. There are various solitons like mount data as volumes and re-attach those… Read More »
Let’s proceed with our AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service, EKS. Previous parts: Kubernetes: part 1 – architecture and main components overview Kubernetes: part 2 – a cluster set up on AWS with AWS cloud-provider and AWS LoadBalancer Kubernetes: part 3 – AWS EKS overview and manual EKS cluster set up. In the previous – Kubernetes:… Read More »
Let’s proceed with our Kubernetes journey. Previous parts: Kubernetes: part 1 – architecture and main components overview Kubernetes: part 2 – a cluster set up on AWS with AWS cloud-provider and AWS LoadBalancer In this part we will start working with AWS Elastic Kuberneters Service (EKS) – its short overview, then will create Kubernetes Control… Read More »
In the first part – Kubernetes: part 1 – architecture and main components overview – we did a quick glance about Kubernetes. Also, check the third part – Kubernetes: part 3 – AWS EKS overview and manual EKS cluster set up. The next thing I’d like to play with is to manually create a cluster… Read More »
