Tips and tricks

Link a microservice application to google cloud

Posted on June 6 2022 / in WordPress

Get a google cloud account

Install Google Cloud SDK

Run the command

gcloud auth

From GCloud enable:

create a cluster in Kubernetes

Run the command:

gcloud init

Select the project:

gcloud config set project $MY_PROJECT_ID

select your CLUSTER

gcloud container clusters get-credentials YOUR_CLUSTER_NAME  --zone us-central1-c

Select the kubectl context:

kubectl config get-contexts
kubectl config use-context $CONTEXT_ID

in order to add secrets use this command

k create secret generic jwt-secret --from-literal=JWT_KEY=123

you will have to deploy ingress

https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/#gce-gke

it should be a command like:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/controller-v1.3.1/deploy/static/provider/cloud/deploy.yaml

check the ingress service ip address if you want to add to your hosts file

kubectl get service ingress-nginx-controller --namespace=ingress-nginx

received an email stating I should install Gke-Gcloud-Auth-Plugin

gcloud components install gke-gcloud-auth-plugin

check the skaffold.yaml and other deployments and update gcloud project image

if you want to check the current pods

kubectl get pods --namespace=all -o=wide kubectl get services --namespace=all -o=wide kubectl get all

get current gcloud config

gcloud config list
gcloud config configurations list
gcloud auth list
gcloud config set account `ACCOUNT`

if you want to link hosts file to a domain, you can find the ip in the cluster endpoint
