We have Github runners in our AWS Elastic Kubernetes service cluster, that are used to build Docker images and deploy them with Helm or ArgoCD. On the first helm install run in a Github runner’s Pod, we are getting the “x509: certificate signed by unknown authority” error: [simterm] # helm –kube-apiserver=https://kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local list Error: Kubernetes cluster unreachable:… Read More »
AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) is an AWS service for monitoring incoming traffic to secure a web application for suspicious activity like SQL injections. Can be attached to an AWS Application LoadBalancer, AWS CloudFront distribution, Amazon API Gateway, and AWS AppSync GraphQL API. In case of finding any request that sits WAF’s rules, it… Read More »
One of the goals of the ArgoCD implementation in our project is to use new Deployment Strategies for our applications. In this post, we will observe deployment types in Kubernetes, how Deployment is working in Kubernetes and a quick example of the Argo Rollouts. Deployment Strategies and Kubernetes Let’s take a short overview of the… Read More »
An application, cluster, or repository can be created In ArgoCD from its WebUI, CLI, or by writing a Kubernetes manifest that then can be passed to kubectl to create resources. For example, Applications are Kubernetes CustomResources and described in Kubernetes CRD applications.argoproj.io: [simterm] $ kubectl get crd applications.argoproj.io NAME CREATED AT applications.argoproj.io 2020-11-27T15:55:29Z [/simterm] And… Read More »
ArgoCD has two types of users – local, that are set in the argocd-cm ConfigMap, and SSO. Below, we will speak about local user management, and in the next chapter will see how to integrate ArgoCD and Okta, because local users can’t be grouped in groups. See the documentation on the Local users/accounts page. For… Read More »
During applications deploy from a Helm chart described in the Istio: shared Ingress/AWS ALB, Helm chart with conditions, Istio, and ExternalDNS we are getting the “spec.ports[0].nodePort: Forbidden: may not be used when `type` is ‘ClusterIP’” error. Let’s reproduce it and find solutions with kubectl and Helm to solve it. The “spec.ports[0].nodePort: Forbidden: may not be… Read More »
Let’s proceed with our journey with Istio. Previous parts: Istio: an overview and running Service Mesh in Kubernetes Istio: external AWS Application LoadBalancer and Istio Ingress Gateway Besides Istio, in this post, we will also configure ExternalDNS, see the Kubernetes: update AWS Route53 DNS from an Ingress for details. Everything described below is a kind… Read More »
During starting a pod we got errors “SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused’” in two different applications – a РНР/Yii and NodeJS. In the РHР/Yii it’s coming when we are running a pre-install hook during deployment with Helm and on the MySQL Migration Job execution: Yii Migration Tool (based on Yii v2.0.38)Exception ‘yii\db\Exception’ with message ‘SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002]… Read More »
