I am learning about Azure Kubernetes, I am basically following this tutorial: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/tutorial-kubernetes-deploy-application
I am at the point where I am opening the Kubernetes manifest file, and I fell out out my chair and almost passed out. I'm a bit intimidated by this file. I am curious are these files created manually or is there a program out there that helps with this?
There are two major ways to manage k8s entities:
1) You can use CLI tools to perform various actions with your cluster, for example:
kubectl create deployment nginx --image nginx2) Alternatively, you can use yaml files to achieve the same result.
Create file with content like this
apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: nginx-deployment spec: selector: matchLabels: app: nginx replicas: 2 template: metadata: labels: app: nginx spec: containers: - name: nginx image: nginx:1.7.9 ports: - containerPort: 80
and execute this:
kubectl apply -f <path to your file>Both ways will lead you to the same outcome.
You can find some additional information about it here Hope it helps.
