This is nicely explained with Example: Deploying PHP Guestbook application with Redis.
The whole setup process is explained and then the Set up and Expose the Guestbook Frontend is describing how to expose a web frontend serving a HTTP requests.
It's configured to connect to redis-master
service for write requests and to the redis-slave
service for read requests.
Example deployment
looks like the following:
apiVersion: apps/v1 # for versions before 1.9.0 use apps/v1beta2
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: frontend
labels:
app: guestbook
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: guestbook
tier: frontend
replicas: 3
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: guestbook
tier: frontend
spec:
containers:
- name: php-redis
image: gcr.io/google-samples/gb-frontend:v4
resources:
requests:
cpu: 100m
memory: 100Mi
env:
- name: GET_HOSTS_FROM
value: dns
# Using `GET_HOSTS_FROM=dns` requires your cluster to
# provide a dns service. As of Kubernetes 1.3, DNS is a built-in
# service launched automatically. However, if the cluster you are using
# does not have a built-in DNS service, you can instead
# access an environment variable to find the master
# service's host. To do so, comment out the 'value: dns' line above, and
# uncomment the line below:
# value: env
ports:
- containerPort: 80
With that setup you just need to create the frontend service:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: frontend
labels:
app: guestbook
tier: frontend
spec:
# comment or delete the following line if you want to use a LoadBalancer
type: NodePort
# if your cluster supports it, uncomment the following to automatically create
# an external load-balanced IP for the frontend service.
# type: LoadBalancer
ports:
- port: 80
selector:
app: guestbook
tier: frontend
I do recommend reading the docs regarding Redis.
