Deploying an Application with a Custom Kubernetes Cluster

This section introduces how to deploy an application in a Kubernetes cluster with a manifest file defining Kubernetes objects. In this way, self-built or third-party Kubernetes clusters can be deployed.

Prerequisites

A custom cluster is available.

Procedure

  1. Obtain the kubeconfig file.

    • Your Kubernetes cluster is used as an example.

      For details, see Configure Access to Multiple Clusters.

    • Example of a CCE cluster
      1. Go to the console. In the upper left corner of the page, choose Service List > Containers > Cloud Container Engine. Click the target cluster and click Bind next to EIP to bind the public IP address.

        The CodeArts Deploy official resource pool and your Kubernetes cluster are not in the same VPC. Therefore, you can access the Kubernetes cluster only through an EIP.

      2. Click Configure next to kubectl in the Connection Information area. On the displayed page, click Download under Download the kubeconfig file to download the configuration file.

        After the download is complete, a kubeconfig.json file is available.

  2. Create a Kubernetes endpoint.

    1. Log in to CodeArts Deploy.
    2. Click Create Application, enter basic information, click Next, select Blank Template, and click OK. The Deployment Actions page is displayed.
    3. Click All, search for Deploy a Custom Kubernetes Cluster, and click Add.
    4. Create an endpoint for accessing the Kubernetes cluster.

      Click Create to create a Kubernetes access point.

      After entering the information, click Verify and OK to check whether the endpoint is configured successfully.
