kploy 0.1.1

An opinionated Kubernetes deployment system for appops

Welcome to kploy, an opinionated Kubernetes deployment system for appops. We use convention over configuration in order to enable you to run microservices-style applications with Kubernetes as simple and fast as possible.

Dependencies

• The pyk toolkit

Preparing your deployment

In the following I assume you’re in a directory we will call $KPLOY_DEMO_HOME.

First you create a file Kployfile. This file must be formatted in YAML and exist in $KPLOY_DEMO_HOME. It has to have at least the following entries (only apiserver and name are interpreted right now):

apiserver: http://localhost:8080
author: Your Name
name: test_app
source: https://github.com/yourusername/therepo

Next, you create two sub-directories in $KPLOY_DEMO_HOME, called rcs and services. Last but not least you copy your Replication Controller and Service manifests into these two directories, like so:

$KPLOY_DEMO_HOME
├── rcs
    └── asimple_replication_controller.yaml
└── services
    └── asimple_service.yaml

Now you’re ready to validate your deployment.

Deploy your app

To validate your deployment run the following command in $KPLOY_DEMO_HOME:

$ ./kploy dryrun
Validating application `test_app` ...

  CHECK: Is the Kubernetes cluster up & running and accessible via `http://52.10.201.177/service/kubernetes`?
  \o/ ... I found 1 node(s) to deploy your wonderful app onto.

  CHECK: Are there RC and service manifests available around here?
         I found 1 RC manifest(s) in /Users/mhausenblas/Documents/repos/mhausenblas/kploy/rcs
         I found 1 service manifest(s) in /Users/mhausenblas/Documents/repos/mhausenblas/kploy/services
  \o/ ... I found both RC and service manifests to deploy your wonderful app!
================================================================================

OK, we're looking good! You're ready to deploy your app with `kploy run` now :)

To actually deploy your app, do:

$ ./kploy run -v
2015-11-29T08:16:43 Trying to run /Users/mhausenblas/Documents/repos/mhausenblas/kploy/Kployfile
2015-11-29T08:16:43 Deploying RC /Users/mhausenblas/Documents/repos/mhausenblas/kploy/rcs/nginx-webserver-rc.yaml
2015-11-29T08:16:43 From /Users/mhausenblas/Documents/repos/mhausenblas/kploy/rcs/nginx-webserver-rc.yaml I created the RC "webserver-rc" at /api/v1/namespaces/default/replicationcontrollers/webserver-rc
2015-11-29T08:16:44 Deploying service /Users/mhausenblas/Documents/repos/mhausenblas/kploy/services/webserver-svc.yaml
2015-11-29T08:16:44 From /Users/mhausenblas/Documents/repos/mhausenblas/kploy/services/webserver-svc.yaml I created the service "webserver-svc" at /api/v1/namespaces/default/services/webserver-svc
================================================================================

OK, I've deployed `simple_app`

And just to make sure everything is fine, let’s use kubectl to check the deployment:

$ dcos kubectl get pods
NAME                 READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
webserver-rc-ct8dk   1/1       Running   0          14s

<title>Welcome to nginx!</title>
. . .

There you go, you just deployed an app on Kubernetes, with a single command. Well done!

Note that I’ve used the following files for testing:

$ cat Kployfile
apiserver: http://52.10.201.177/service/kubernetes
author: Michael Hausenblas
name: simple_app
source: https://github.com/mhausenblas/kploy

$ cat rcs/nginx-webserver-rc.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ReplicationController
metadata:
  name: webserver-rc
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    app: webserver
    status: serving
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: webserver
        guard: pyk
        status: serving
    spec:
      containers:
      - image: nginx:1.9.7
        name: nginx
        ports:
          - containerPort: 80

$ cat services/webserver-svc.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: webserver-svc
spec:
  selector:
    app: webserver
    status: serving
  ports:
    - port: 80
      targetPort: 80
      protocol: TCP

To Do

• [ ] Add init command (creates Kployfile and placeholder RC and service file)

• [ ] Add app management (list of apps, check apps status)

• [ ] Add tear down command

• [ ] Add dependency management

• [ ] Add Travis build

• [ ] Add deep validation for dryrun, that is validate RCs and services via the API server
