Start with a new repository:

mkdir k8s-tutorial
cd k8s-tutorial
git init
wget http://bottlepy.org/bottle.py

now create a file main.py with the following content:

from bottle import route, run
import socket

@route('/')
def hello():
    name = socket.gethostname()
	with open("/tmp/mysecret/topsecret", "r") as f:
        secret = f.read()
	return "Hello! <br/>My name is %s <br/>Let me tell you a secret: %s" % (name, secret)

run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8000, debug=True)

create a Dockerfile

FROM python:2.7

RUN mkdir /opt/tutorial
ADD *.py /opt/tutorial/

EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["python", "/opt/tutorial/main.py"]

Building the Container

create a file called Makefile with this content:

run:
	python main.py
docker:
	docker build -t example/k8stutorial .
push:
	docker push example/k8stutorial

run-docker:
	docker run -it --rm example/k8stutorial

Now build the Docker container and push it to the Docker Hub:

$ boot2docker start && eval "$(docker-machine shellinit)" # only on OS X
$ make docker
$ make push

Creating Kubernetes Replication Controller

We want to run the App on three nodes.

So let’s write a replication controller definition: 

1

k8stutorial-rc.yml
:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ReplicationController
metadata:
  name: k8s-tutorial
  labels:
    app: k8s-tutorial
    name: k8s-tutorial
spec:
  replicas: 3
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: k8s-tutorial
        name: k8s-tutorial
    spec:
      imagePullSecrets:
        - name: registry
      containers:
        - name: k8s-tutorial
          image: example/k8stutorial:latest
          ports:
            - containerPort: 8000
          volumeMounts:
            - name: mysecret
              mountPath: /tmp/mysecret
              readOnly: true
      volumes:
      - name: mysecret
        secret:
          secretName: k8stutorial-secret

We still need the secret 

1

k8stutorial-secret.yml
:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: k8stutorial-secret
type: Opaque
data:
  topsecret: 1234512345

Now let’s deploy the Secret and the Replication Controller on Kubernetes:

$ brew install kubernetes-cli
$ ssh -At example@uri -L 8080:k8s-master.uri:8080

and in a new Terminal let’s have a look at the currently deployed pods and replication controllers:

# show currently deployed pods:
$ kubectl get po
# show currently deployed replication controllers:
$ kubectl get rc

Now let’s deploy our Replication Controller:

# deploy our secret
$ kubectl create -f k8stutorial-secret.yml

# deploy our new replication controller
$ kubectl create -f k8stutorial-rc.yml

Now let’s have a look at the deployed Pods and Replication Controllers again:

# show currently deployed pods:
$ kubectl get po

# show currently deployed replication controllers:
$ kubectl get rc

Create a Kubernetes Service

Write a service definition file 

1

k8stutorial-svc.yml
:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: k8s-tutorial
  annotations:
    romulus/host: 'k8stutorial.uri'
    romulus/path: '/'
  labels:
    name: k8s-tutorial
    romulus/type: external
spec:
  ports:
  - port: 80
    targetPort: 8000
  selector:
    app: k8s-tutorial

And let’s deploy the file

$ kubectl create -f k8stutorial-svc.yml

Now let’s have a look at http://k8stutorial.uri Refresh the site a few times and you will notice the different Pod names that are responding to your request. The requests are load balanced between the nodes. So every request is answered by another node.
