minikube start -p himel-local-profile --driver=docker

minikube dashboard -p himel-local-profile

eval $(minikube docker-env -p himel-local-profile)

Run the above docker build commands again in cluster. otherwise cluster will not find the images.

apply deployment and service files

cd to each of 3 service and run the following commands on each:

kubectl apply -f <service>/deployment.yaml

kubectl apply -f <service>/services.yaml

Check services and deployments with:

kubectl get services kubectl get deployments

Access each service with:

kubectl exec -it svc/<service-name> sh

Allocate LoadBalancer external ip for nginx service

minikube service nginx-service -p himel-local-profile

Replace localhost url with service name in api calls and nginx config

then run all build commands again with new version.
