Overview of how to get Dapr running on your Kubernetes cluster

Dapr on Kubernetes

Dapr can be configured to run on any supported versions of Kubernetes. To achieve this, Dapr begins by deploying the dapr-sidecar-injector, dapr-operator, dapr-placement, and dapr-sentry Kubernetes services. These provide first-class integration to make running applications with Dapr easy.

  • dapr-operator: Manages [component]({{< ref components >}}) updates and Kubernetes services endpoints for Dapr (state stores, pub/subs, etc.)
  • dapr-sidecar-injector: Injects Dapr into annotated deployment pods and adds the environment variables DAPR_HTTP_PORT and DAPR_GRPC_PORT to enable user-defined applications to easily communicate with Dapr without hard-coding Dapr port values.
  • dapr-placement: Used for [actors]({{< ref actors >}}) only. Creates mapping tables that map actor instances to pods
  • dapr-sentry: Manages mTLS between services and acts as a certificate authority. For more information read the [security overview]({{< ref "security-concept.md" >}}).

Deploying Dapr to a Kubernetes cluster

Read [this guide]({{< ref kubernetes-deploy.md >}}) to learn how to deploy Dapr to your Kubernetes cluster.

Adding Dapr to a Kubernetes deployment

Deploying and running a Dapr enabled application into your Kubernetes cluster is as simple as adding a few annotations to the deployment schemes. To give your service an id and port known to Dapr, turn on tracing through configuration and launch the Dapr sidecar container, you annotate your Kubernetes deployment like this. For more information check [dapr annotations]({{< ref kubernetes-annotations.md >}})

  annotations:
    dapr.io/enabled: "true"
    dapr.io/app-id: "nodeapp"
    dapr.io/app-port: "3000"
    dapr.io/config: "tracing"

Quickstart
