Cinema - Kubernetes Deployment (Helm)

Overview

The Cinema project can be deployed in a kubernetes cluster in order to know the behavior of microservices

Index

Requirements

  • kubectl v1.25.0
  • kind v0.16.0
  • helm v3.10.0

Create Kubernetes Cluster

A Kubernetes cluster is created using Kind

kind create cluster
Result 
Creating cluster "kind" ...
✓ Ensuring node image (kindest/node:v1.26.3) 🖼
✓ Preparing nodes 📦
✓ Writing configuration 📜
✓ Starting control-plane 🕹️
✓ Installing CNI 🔌
✓ Installing StorageClass 💾
Set kubectl context to "kind-kind"
You can now use your cluster with:

kubectl cluster-info --context kind-kind

Have a question, bug, or feature request? Let us know! https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/#community 🙂

Check the connection between the kubernetes client (kubectl) and the cluster.

kubectl cluster-info
Result 
Kubernetes control plane is running at https://127.0.0.1:63769
CoreDNS is running at https://127.0.0.1:63769/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy

To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.

Deploy Cinema project in Kubernetes

To deploy this project should be used the cinema Helm chart located in ./charts folder. This chart is an umbrella for all services needed to deploy the project. Take a look at the dependencies section in the Chart.yaml file.

cat ./charts/cinema/Chart.yaml
Result 
apiVersion: v2
name: cinema
description: A Helm chart to deploy Cinema project in Kubernetes
# chart type
type: application
# chart version
version: 0.2.2
# cinema app version
appVersion: "v2.2.2"
dependencies:
  - condition: mongodb.enabled
    name: mongodb
    repository: https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
    version: 13.5.0
  - name: users
    version: 0.x.x
  - name: movies
    version: 0.x.x
  - name: showtimes
    version: 0.x.x
  - name: bookings
    version: 0.x.x
  - name: website
    version: 0.x.x

Dependencies like website, users, movies, showtimes and bookings are charts located inside charts folder, and mongodb dependency came from Bitnami repository.

Note: the Bitnami mongodb image was changed by the official version to support ARM architectures. Read more in the PR.

Use the following command to deploy the whole project with just one line:

helm upgrade cinema \
  --install \
  --dependency-update \
  ./charts/cinema
Result 
Release "cinema" does not exist. Installing it now.
NAME: cinema
LAST DEPLOYED: Wed Apr 26 01:13:15 2023
NAMESPACE: default
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1

Then check the deployment status:

helm list

Check Cinema services status

kubectl get po

Populate mongodb cluster with information

It is recommended to use this test data to check the apis of the services

{
  POD=$(kubectl get po -l app.kubernetes.io/name=mongodb -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')
  kubectl cp backup $POD:/tmp/
  kubectl exec -it $POD -- mongorestore --uri mongodb://localhost:27017 --gzip  /tmp/backup/cinema
}

Test Cinema services

To consult the website or the APIs you can use the port-forward command to link the cluster service with the local ports

Website

kubectl port-forward svc/cinema-website 8000:80
Result 
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8000 -> 8000
Forwarding from [::1]:8000 -> 8000

Access the following link in your web browser: http://localhost:8000/

website home page

APIs

kubectl port-forward svc/cinema-users 4000:80
Result 
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:4000 -> 4000
Forwarding from [::1]:4000 -> 4000

Now you can access to the following link: http://localhost:4000/api/users/. Use the same approach to the rest of the services.

Use the same approach to the rest of the services

Remove deployment

helm delete cinema
Result 
release "cinema" uninstalled
