Customizing the Chart Before Installing

Helm: Concepts

Three Big Concepts

ChartHelm package. It contains all of the resource definitions necessary to run an application, tool, or service inside of a Kubernetes cluster.
RepositoryPlace where charts can be collected and shared.
ReleaseInstance of a chart running in a Kubernetes cluster. One chart can often be installed many times into the same cluster. And each time it is installed, a new release is created. Consider a MySQL chart. If you want two databases running in your cluster, you can install that chart twice. Each one will have its own release, which will in turn have its own release name.

Helm: Creating Charts

helm create chartname
helm package chartname
helm install mychart
helm install mychart mychart/ --values mychart/values.yaml
helm ls
helm delete generated-deployment-name
helm package mychart
helm install mychart-0.1.0.tgz
helm install release-name mychart 

Helm: CLI

Common actions for Helm:

- helm search:    search for charts
- helm pull:      download a chart to your local directory to view
- helm install:   upload the chart to Kubernetes
- helm list:      list releases of charts

Environment variables:

Helm stores cache, configuration, and data based on the following configuration order:

– If a HELM_*_HOME environment variable is set, it will be used – Otherwise, on systems supporting the XDG base directory specification, the XDG variables will be used – When no other location is set a default location will be used based on the operating system

By default, the default directories depend on the Operating System. The defaults are listed below:

| OS      | Cache Path                | Configuration Path             | Data Path
|---------|---------------------------|--------------------------------|-------------------------|
| Linux   | $HOME/.cache/helm         | $HOME/.config/helm             | $HOME/.local/share/helm
| macOS   | $HOME/Library/Caches/helm | $HOME/Library/Preferences/helm | $HOME/Library/helm
| Windows |

Kubernetes Basics Module

Reference

Kubernetes : production-grade, open-source platform that orchestrates the placement (scheduling) and execution of application containers within and across computer clusters.

Deployment: responsible for creating and updating instances of your application

Pod: group of one or more application containers (such as Docker) and includes shared storage (volumes), IP address and information about how to run them.

Node: a worker machine in Kubernetes and may be either a virtual or a physical machine, depending on the cluster. Multiple Pods can run on one Node.

Kubernetes Service: abstraction layer which defines a logical set of Pods and enables external traffic exposure, load balancing and service discovery for those Pods.

Scaling is accomplished by changing the number of replicas in a Deployment

Tutorial

5. Scale up your app

Step 1: Scaling a deployment

To list your deployments 

> kubectl get deployments
NAME                  READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
kubernetes-bootcamp   1/1     1            1           32h

Step 2: Load Balancing

Create service if desired

> kubectl expose deployment/kubernetes-bootcamp --type="NodePort" --port 8080
> $NODE_PORT=kubectl get services/kubernetes-bootcamp -o go-template='{{(index .spec.ports 0).nodePort}}'
❯ $NODE_PORT
31937
> $NODE_IP=minikube ip
