  • Internal Service in Kubernetes Cluster

    In Kubernetes(K8s) cluster, 1 or more containers form a pod and every container in the pod can access other container’s port just like apps in the same local host. For example: – pod1 – nginx1 – gunicorn1, port:8000 – pod2 – nginx2 – gunicorn2, port:8000 So nginx1 can access gunicorn1’s port using localhost:8000 and nginx2…

  • Kops: Add Policies for Migrated Apps

    When migrating some old applications to a Kubernetes(k8s) cluster provisioned by kops, a lot of things might break and one of them is the missing policy for the node.

  • Play a bit Kubernetes with Minikube

    I’ve just played a bit Kubernetes on my Arch Linux laptop, with Minikube. It’s easier than I thought. Since I’ve already installed VirtualBox from the start, I can use minikube right after I installed it with curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/ The command I used to start…
