Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an orchestrator for our containerization system.

We're going to deploy to Kubernetes with Helm and Helmfile, which means that we'll push a series of interlocking Helm charts to run our application servers

Naming

Clusters

• Name: palolo-[env]
• Namespace: palolo-[env]
• Deployment (for now): Palolo-app
• K8s secret used to deploy: namespace/docker-secret
  • Our Docker account is limited to one token for the moment, so it's the same everywhere.

To setup a new cluster, we'll need to setup the Terraform to take some extra vars, then automate the creation of the namespace and secret. But it's not hard, just time-consuming.

For further details, see Infra Setup

Get Kubeconfigs for every cluster

scripts/pull_kubeconfig.sh creates a folder in this directory called "kubeconfig", then polls EKS for the clusters named palolo-[env] for alpha, demo, staging, and prod

For everything else, see Kubernetes and Helm commands in Notion
