Kubernetes? A comic to get started …

Posted on by

Kubernetes Comic
(It’s Greek for Helmsman)

I went through the steps provided in that comic and they don’t work as is.  Figured things out, use these updated steps instead if you want to go through the example:

# use to set a default zone
gcloud init --console-only

gcloud container clusters create myCluster
#kubectl run app --image gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:1.0
kubectl create deployment app --image gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:1.0
kubectl scale deployment app --replicas 3
#kubectl expose deployment app --port 80 --type=LoadBalancer
kubectl expose deployment app --port 80 --type=LoadBalancer --target-port 8080
kubectl get service app
curl http://192.0.2.103:80  (use the external ip shown in previous step)
#kubectl set image deployment app app=gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:2.0
kubectl set image deployment app hello-app=gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:2.0

# bonus, here's an autoscale example
kubectl autoscale deployment app --cpu-percent=80 --min=1 --max=5

Decided to give building a chrome extension a try, introducing: Ivanti Uri Button

Only useful to those who use the Ivanti Service Desk product, but for those folks, so useful!

The service desk has a button which when clicked generates a popup dialog with a URL pointing directly to the ticket.  But who wants to click, then double click to highlight the uri, then use a menu or type a command to copy when all this can be done in just one click.  Another first world problem solved.
