In this hands-on lab, you will be presented with a three-node cluster. You will be creating a simple nginx deployment, in which you must create a service from that deployment. In order to accomplish this, you will use the kubectl command line to create the deployment. Then, you will expose the deployment to create the service. When you have verified the service is up and running, you will create a busybox pod to test the DNS resolution to that service.
Learning Objectives
Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:
- Create an nginx deployment, and verify it was successful.
Use this command to create an nginx deployment:
kubectl run nginx --image=nginxUse this command to verify deployment was successful:
kubectl get deployments- Create a service, and verify the service was successful.
Use this command to create a service:
kubectl expose deployment nginx --port 80 --type NodePortUse this command to verify the service was created:
kubectl get services- Create a pod that will allow you to query DNS, and verify it’s been created.
Use the following YAML to create the busybox pod spec:
apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: busybox spec: containers: - image: busybox:1.28.4 command: - sleep - "3600" name: busybox restartPolicy: AlwaysUse the following command to create the busybox pod:
kubectl create -f busybox.yamlUse the following command to verify the pod was created successfully:
kubectl get pods- Perform a DNS query to the service.
Use the following command to query the DNS name of the nginx service:
kubectl exec busybox -- nslookup nginx- Record the DNS name.
Record the name of:
<service-name>.default.svc.cluster.local
