This topic describes the steps to create a Kubernetes YAML based blueprint. HyperCloud™ Platform supports deploying standard Kubernetes blueprints. Kubernetes blueprints can only be deployed in a Kubernetes cluster is deployed using the HyperCloud Platform.

Configuring Kubernetes Persistent Volumes

Persistent Volumes are pre-created volumes which can be attached to containers during runtime.

• Login to the HyperCloud™ Platform with your credentials  Click on Services Orchestration Tab  Click on Containers tab  Click on the Kubernetes Cluster already provisioned
• Click on Action Button  Click on New
  • Enter a Volume Name: app1-vol1
  • Storage Class: Standard
  • Reclaim Policy: Delete
  • Disk – Select disk options to create the persistent volume
    • New – Enter a Volume Size (GB) for e.g 100 GB
    • Existing – User must provide the exact URI for an existing volume
  • Click Save

Deploying a Kubernetes Blueprint (YAML)

Use the following steps to deploy a Kubernetes blueprint.

• Login to the HyperCloud™ Platform with your credentials  Click on Services Orchestration Tab  Click on AppStore.
• Click on New  Click on K8S
  • Click on Action  Import
  • Click on Choose File  Enter the following URL Kubernetes Guestbook Application

Note: By default, this application will not be accessible to the internet. To enable internet access, change the following under the kind: Service

• • Click Save Changes
• Click on the Kubernetes Blueprint
  • Select the namespace: production
  • Click on Run

Note: This may take more than a few minutes

• The Application can be found under Services Orchestration Tab  Click on Apps tab
• Refer https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/ to create Kubernetes YAML based Blueprints.

Deploying a Kubernetes Blueprint (Hem Chart)

Use the following steps to deploy a Kubernetes blueprint.

• Download the sample Kubernetes HELM Chart from https://github.com/hypergrid-inc/HyperCloud-Blueprints/tree/master/Kubernetes/Helm%20Charts/mongodb

• Create an archive using the following steps:

  tar -cvf mongodb tar --gzip -cvzf mongodb-5.17.0.tgz mongodb

  
  

• Login to the HyperCloud™ Platform with your credentials  Click on Services Orchestration Tab  Click on AppStore. Click on New  Click on Helm
  • Enter a Name: MongoDB
  • Click on Choose File and upload the mongodb-5.17.0.tgz
  • On the Entitled Users:
    • Select Only Me: If this template is not meant to be shared
    • Select Everyone: If this template is to be shared with everyone in the Tenant
    • Select Groups & Users: if the template is to be shared with specific users or groups
  • Click on Save Changes
• Click on the Helm Chart for mongodb  Select a namespace for e.g. production  Click Run.
• This will deploy the helm chart app on a Kubernetes cluster.
