Overview

k8ty is a cli app to help you quickly deploy stateless apps to a kubernetes cluster. For example, if you call k8ty app:create and will generate a k8ty-app with some heroku-like name (via Haikunator) like traveling-whisper-123456. So, what is a k8ty-app, in kubernetes terms?

Anatomy of a k8ty-app

A k8ty-app creates the following kubernetes resources (all namespaced and generally named after the app's namesake):

• namespace
• secret
• deployment
• service
• ingress

All resourced are put in and labeled in the namespace created. An empty secret is also generated. A deployment is created with a stock image (currently nginx), exposing port 80 (named http) (overridable via flags on creation, and updatable). This deployment has and envFrom relationship to the secret, so any/all values in the secret will be mounted as environment variables in the deployment/pods. A service is created with port 80 that maps to the http named port of the deployment, and an ingress is created to point to that services port.

Assuming you've taken care of the Prerequisites, this means your traveling-whisper-123456 app will (near) immediately be available at https://traveling-whisper-123456.yourdomain.com after creation!

Prerequisites

You will need to have the following things set up to make use of this app:

• A kubernetes cluster + kubectl configured
• Deploy the nginx ingress controller: for ingress routing
  • This should have a public Load Balancer attached to it!
• Deploy CertManager: for automated SSL certificated via Let's Encrypt
• Point a wildcard DNS record to your Load Balancer: This lets *.yourdomain.com route to your ingress controller
