Deploying my first Pivotal Container Service (PKS) workload to my PKS cluster

If you followed along on the previous blogs you would of installed PKS 1.0 on GCP (Google Cloud Platform) and created your first PKS cluster and wired it into kubectl as well as provided an external load balancer as per the previous two posts.

So lets now create our first workload as shown below

1. Download YML demo from here

https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/kubo-ci/blob/master/specs/nginx-lb.yml

2. Deploy as shown below

pasapicella@pas-macbook:~/pivotal/GCP/install/21/PKS/demo-workload$ kubectl create -f nginx-lb.yml
service "nginx" created
deployment "nginx" created

3. Check current status

pasapicella@pas-macbook:~/pivotal/GCP/install/21/PKS/demo-workload$ kubectl get pods
NAME                     READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
nginx-679dc9c764-8cwzq   1/1       Running   0          22s
nginx-679dc9c764-p8tf2   1/1       Running   0          22s
nginx-679dc9c764-s79mp   1/1       Running   0          22s

4. Wait for External IP address of the nginx service to be assigned

pasapicella@pas-macbook:~/pivotal/GCP/install/21/PKS/demo-workload$ kubectl get svc
NAME         TYPE           CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP     PORT(S)        AGE
kubernetes   ClusterIP      10.100.200.1               443/TCP        17h
nginx        LoadBalancer   10.100.200.143   35.189.23.119   80:30481/TCP   1m

5. In a browser access the K8's workload as follows, using the external IP

http://35.189.23.119
