This lab walks you through a quick smoke test to make sure things are working.
kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --port=80 --replicas=3
kubectl get pods -o wide
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE
nginx-158599303-7k8p9 1/1 Running 0 13s 10.200.2.3 worker2
nginx-158599303-h0zcs 1/1 Running 0 13s 10.200.1.2 worker1
nginx-158599303-rfhm3 1/1 Running 0 13s 10.200.0.2 worker0
kubectl expose deployment nginx --type NodePort
Note that --type=LoadBalancer will not work because we did not configure a cloud provider when bootstrapping this cluster.
Grab the NodePort
that was setup for the nginx service:
NODE_PORT=$(kubectl get svc nginx --output=jsonpath='{range .spec.ports[0]}{.nodePort}')
gcloud compute firewall-rules create kubernetes-nginx-service \
--allow=tcp:${NODE_PORT} \
--network kubernetes-the-hard-way
Grab the EXTERNAL_IP
for one of the worker nodes:
NODE_PUBLIC_IP=$(gcloud compute instances describe worker0 \
--format 'value(networkInterfaces[0].accessConfigs[0].natIP)')
Test the nginx service using cURL:
curl http://${NODE_PUBLIC_IP}:${NODE_PORT}
