How do I run the Deployment Demo at the end of of Chapter 6 on GCP?

I am having trouble doing the same.

I have modified the file slightly to push the container image to GCR instead of Docker’s container repo.

For that I have modified the web-deploy.yml like so

”’

  • image: gcr.io/playground-s-11-cf7219e0/imagectr:latest

name: web-ctr

ports:

  • containerPort: 8080

”’

I had also pushed the image to the particular repository using the instructions here:https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/docs/pushing-and-pulling

But when I try to run it by following the same step as in the video otherwise, it does not work. Should I restart with a fresh cluster?

Hi Anshumankmr, 

You don’t need to change anything in the code. 

To have access to an application running on kubernetes, you will need need a load balancer.

Nigel supplied the web-lb.yml. So all that you need to do is to deploy it:

$ kubectl apply -f ./web-lb.yml

Then, check it for the public IP address:

$ kubectl get svc web-svc
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
web-svc LoadBalancer 10.108.0.89 34.75.254.254 80:30527/TCP 4m51s

Now you just need to copy the load balancer public IP address (34.75.254.254 in my case) and paste it on your browser.
