This repository provides a simple example of how to use the C# client to conduct K8s leader election.
First you will need a docker image that contains the application.
To build the image you will need Docker, which you can download here if you don't already have it.
Next, you will need to run the following command:
docker build -t k8s-leader-election-image <PATH_TO_OUR_REPO_FOLDER>
k8s-leader-election-image will appear in your Docker images after the build has finished successfully.
Now, we will need a cluster to run some isntances of the image we have just created.
I use minikube, so go ahead and get it here if you don't already have it.
In order to start minikube run:
minikube start.
Next, we will need to load the image that we've created before to the minikube docker registry, to do so, run the following command:
minikube image load k8s-leader-election-image:latest
To work with our k8s cluster we will need a cli tool called kubectl, you can get it here.
We can now create the K8s pods that will run our application.
Go ahead and run kubectl apply -f test-pod.yml.
Three pods will be created, you can list the pods using kubectl get pod, and watch the application output using kubectl logs -f <POD_NAME>.
