Kind Dev Cluster on Codespaces (Spark)

Setup a Kubernetes Developer Cluster using kind running in GitHub Codespaces

License

GitHub Codespaces is currently in preview

  • An invitation will be sent to you during the live Spark session
  • You will have access to Codespaces on the repo until August 1
  • If you have dotfiles that use zsh, please use bash for the Spark live event
    • If you use zsh after the live event, we LOVE PRs

Open with Codespaces

  • Click the Code button on your repo
  • Click Open with Codespaces
  • Click New Codespace
  • Choose the 4 core option

Create Codespace

Open Workspace

  • When prompted, choose Open Workspace

Build and Deploy Cluster

make all

Running Codespace

Validate Deployment

Output from make all should resemble this


default      fluentb                                   1/1   Running   0   31s
default      jumpbox                                   1/1   Running   0   25s
default      webv                                      1/1   Running   0   31s
default      ngsa-memory                               1/1   Running   0   33s
monitoring   grafana-64f7dbcf96-cfmtd                  1/1   Running   0   32s
monitoring   prometheus-deployment-67cbf97f84-tjxm7    1/1   Running   0   32s

Service endpoints

  • All endpoints are usable in your browser via clicking on the Ports (4) tab
    • Select the open in browser icon on the far right
  • Some popup blockers block the new browser tab
  • If you get a gateway error, just hit refresh - it will clear once the port-forward is ready
# check endpoints
make check

Validate deployment with k9s

  • From the Codespace terminal window, start k9s
    • Type k9s and press enter
    • Press 0 to select all namespaces
    • Wait for all pods to be in the Running state (look for the STATUS column)
    • Use the arrow key to select nsga-memory then press the l key to view logs from the pod
    • To go back, press the esc key
    • To view other deployed resources - press shift + : followed by the deployment type (e.g. secret, services, deployment, etc).
    • To exit - :q <enter>

k9s

Other interesting endpoints

Open curl.http

curl.http is used in conjuction with the Visual Studio Code REST Client extension.

When you open curl.http, you should see a clickable Send Request text above each of the URLs

REST Client example

Clicking on Send Request should open a new panel in Visual Studio Code with the response from that request like so:

REST Client example response

Jump Box

A jump box pod is created so that you can execute commands in the cluster

  • use the kj alias

    • kubectl exec -it jumpbox -- bash -l
      • note: -l causes a login and processes .profile
      • note: sh -l will work, but the results will not be displayed in the terminal due to a bug
  • use the kje alias

    • kubectl exec -it jumpbox --
  • example

    • run http against the ClusterIP
      • kje http ngsa-memory:8080/version

View Prometheus Dashboard

  • Click on the ports tab of the terminal window

  • Click on the open in browser icon on the Prometheus port (30000)

  • This will open Prometheus in a new browser tab

  • From the Prometheus tab

    • Begin typing NgsaAppDuration_bucket in the Expression search
    • Click Execute
    • This will display the histogram that Grafana uses for the charts

Launch Grafana Dashboard

  • Grafana login info

    • admin
    • akdc-512
  • Once make all completes successfully

    • Click on the ports tab of the terminal window
    • Click on the open in browser icon on the Grafana port (32000)
    • This will open Grafana in a new browser tab

Codespace Ports

View Grafana Dashboard

  • Click on Home at the top of the page
  • From the dashboards page, click on NGSA

Grafana

Run a load test

# from Codespaces terminal

# run a baseline test (will generate warnings in Grafana)
make test

# run a 60 second load test
make load-test
  • Switch to the Grafana brower tab
  • The test will generate 400 / 404 results
  • The requests metric will go from green to yellow to red as load increases
    • It may skip yellow
  • As the test completes
    • The metric will go back to green (1.0)
    • The request graph will return to normal

Load Test

View Fluent Bit Logs

  • Start k9s from the Codespace terminal
  • Select fluentb and press enter
  • Press enter again to see the logs
  • Press s to Toggle AutoScroll
  • Press w to Toggle Wrap
  • Review logs that will be sent to Log Analytics when configured

Build and deploy a local version of WebValidate

  • Switch back to your Codespaces tab
# from Codespaces terminal

# make and deploy a local version of WebV to k8s
make webv

Build and deploy a local version of ngsa-memory

  • Switch back to your Codespaces tab
# from Codespaces terminal

# make and deploy a local version of ngsa-memory to k8s
make app

Next Steps

Makefile is a good place to start exploring

FAQ

  • Why don't we use helm to deploy Kubernetes manifests?
    • The target audience for this repository is app developers who are beginning their Kubernetes journey so we chose simplicity for the Developer Experience.
    • In our daily work, we use Helm for deployments and it is installed in the .devcontainer should you want to use it.
