Create the Kubernetes Deployment for our Docker Image

Write the Deployment Specification

The deployment.yaml is where you specify the Docker Image for your application along with other specs

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment

Create the Deloyment Resource

1. $ kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml

   This command creates a Deployment resource, which creates the ReplicaSet, which then creates the Pods

2. $ kubectl get pods

   NAME	READY	STATUS	RESTARTS	AGE
   daytrader-web-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx	1/1	Running	0	6m

   Wait until you see READY 1/1 and STATUS Running

3. Review the pods (application) logs

   $ kubectl logs <POD_NAME> -f

   You should see Tomcat started on port(s): 5443 (https)

Test the Deployment Connection

1. $ kubectl port-forward <POD_NAME> 8888:5443

   This command forwards local port 8888 to port 5443 of your pod

   You should see Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8888 -> 5443

2. $ curl -k https://127.0.0.1:8888/health

   You should see {"status":"UP"}
