By this famous guestbook example:
https://github.com/kubernetes/examples/tree/master/guestbook
It will create Redis master/slave deployment and services. It also has a subfolder named redis-slave
which used for create a docker image and run Redis replication command.
The question is, if deployed the Redis master and slave to the k8s cluster. Then how to run that command? Deploy a new container? That will not relate to the slave container already deployed.
Is there a better way to do Redis repliaciton between master and slave running in k8s cluster?
Redis Sentinel is often suggested for simple master-slave replication and high availability.
Unfortunately, Sentinel does not fit Kubernetes world well and it also requires a Sentinel-aware client to talk to Redis.
You could try Redis operator which can be considered a Kubernetes-native replacement for Sentinel and allows to create a Redis deployment that would resist without human intervention to most kind of failures.
One option you have is using helm
to deploy the redis-ha
app.
