Smoke Test

This lab walks you through a quick smoke test to make sure things are working.

Test

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}')

Create the Node Port Firewall Rule

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}
