Create a pod with image nginx called nginx and expose its port 80

show

kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --restart=Never --port=80 --expose
# observe that a pod as well as a service are created

Confirm that ClusterIP has been created. Also check endpoints

show

kubectl get svc nginx # services
kubectl get ep # endpoints

Get pod's ClusterIP, create a temp busybox pod and 'hit' that IP with wget

show

kubectl get svc nginx # get the IP (something like 10.108.93.130)
kubectl run busybox --rm --image=busybox -it --restart=Never -- sh
wget -O- IP:80
exit

Convert the ClusterIP to NodePort and find the NodePort port. Hit it using Node's IP. Delete the service and the pod

show

kubectl edit svc nginx

kubectl get svc

# result:

kubernetes   ClusterIP   10.96.0.1        <none>        443/TCP        1d

wget -O- NODE_IP:31931 # if you're using Kubernetes with Docker for Windows/Mac, try 127.0.0.1

Create a deployment called foo using image 'dgkanatsios/simpleapp' (a simple server that returns hostname) and 3 replicas. Label it as 'app=foo'. Declare that containers in this pod will accept traffic on port 8080 (do NOT create a service yet)

show

kubectl run foo --image=dgkanatsios/simpleapp --labels=app=foo --port=8080 --replicas=3

Get the pod IPs. Create a temp busybox pod and trying hitting them on port 8080

show

kubectl get pods -l app=foo -o wide # 'wide' will show pod IPs
kubectl run busybox --image=busybox --restart=Never -it --rm -- sh
wget -O- POD_IP:8080 # do not try with pod name, will not work
# try hitting all IPs to confirm that hostname is different
exit

Create a service that exposes the deployment on port 6262. Verify its existence, check the endpoints

show

kubectl expose deploy foo --port=6262 --target-port=8080
kubectl get service foo # you will see ClusterIP as well as port 6262
kubectl get endpoints foo # you will see the IPs of the three replica nodes, listening on port 8080

Create a temp busybox pod and connect via wget to foo service. Verify that each time there's a different hostname returned. Delete deployment and services to cleanup the cluster

show

kubectl get svc # get the foo service ClusterIP
kubectl run busybox --image=busybox -it --rm --restart=Never -- sh
wget -O- foo:6262 # DNS works! run it many times, you'll see different pods responding
wget -O- SERVICE_CLUSTER_IP:6262 # ClusterIP works as well
# you can also kubectl logs on deployment pods to see the container logs
kubectl delete svc foo
kubectl delete deploy foo

Create an nginx deployment of 2 replicas, expose it via a ClusterIP service on port 80. Create a NetworkPolicy so that only pods with labels 'access: true' can access the deployment and apply it

show

kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --replicas=2 --port=80 --expose
kubectl describe svc nginx # see the 'run=nginx' selector for the pods
# or
kubectl get svc nginx -o yaml --export

vi policy.yaml

kind: NetworkPolicy

    matchLabels:
      run: nginx # selector for the pods

    - podSelector: # from pods
        matchLabels: # with this label
          access: 'true' # 'true' *needs* quotes in YAML, apparently

# Create the NetworkPolicy
kubectl create -f policy.yaml

# Check if the Network Policy has been created correctly:
kubectl run busybox --image=busybox --rm -it --restart=Never -- wget -O- http://nginx:80                       # This should not work
kubectl run busybox --image=busybox --rm -it --restart=Never --labels=access=true -- wget -O- http://nginx:80  # This should be fine
