httpbin

httpbin example

This example shows how to deploy an httpbin service using Opta.

This directory contains:

.
├── env-aws.yaml      # opta environment file for AWS
├── env-azure.yaml    # opta environment file for Azure
├── env-gcp.yaml      # opta environment file for GCP
├── env-local.yaml    # opta environment file for local
└── httpbin.yaml      # opta service file

Deploy to local Kubernetes using Opta

1. Create the local kubernetes cluster

   opta apply --local --auto-approve -c env-local.yaml

2. Apply the service

   opta apply --config httpbin.yaml --auto-approve --env local

3. Test

   curl http://localhost:8080/

4. Clean up

   opta destroy --auto-approve --local --config hello.yaml
   opta destroy --auto-approve --local --config env-local.yaml

NOTE: We are using opta apply as opta deploy is only needed when the image is set to AUTO

Deploy to a cloud provider using Opta

1. Select the target environment

   # pick one
   export ENV=[aws/azure/gcp]
   
   # edit the env file to specify where to deploy (Account information)
   open env-${ENV}.yaml 

2. Create the environment infrastructure (VPC, Kubernetes...)

   opta apply --auto-approve -c env-${ENV}.yaml
   # when done, find load_balancer_raw_dns or load_balancer_raw_ip in the output and save it
   export load_balancer=[Value from output]

3. Deploy the service: push the image and deploy it to Kubernetes

   opta apply --config httpbin.yaml --auto-approve --env $ENV

4. Test

   curl http://${load_balancer}
   
   # you can run any kubectl command at this point
   kubectl -n httpbin get all

5. Clean up

   opta destroy --auto-approve --config httpbin.yaml --env $ENV
   opta destroy --auto-approve --config env-${ENV}.yaml
