k8gb-light

POC k8gb reduced by CRD. Besides CRD it also reduces the number of reconciliations and provides new providers as Gateway.

see 🚨Changes which contain more detailed information about the changes.

running locally

Environments

Locally create three test clusters by displaying make-deploy-full-local-setup. All clusters will have the current version of k8gb installed from your local Git branch.

Test application

To install the application, use make deploy-demo

Terratests

Run make terratest.

If you need to reset the environment, use the commands make clean-namespaces, make deploy-full-local-clusters, make redeploy-clusters

Ingress

If k8gb is successfully installed, you only need to add the annotation to ingress and load-balancing will be enabled.

k8gb.io/strategy is mandatory
k8gb.io/status is out only information written by controller back to ingress. The value represents the state of the host application on each cluster.
k8gb.io/primary-geotag is used if k8gb.io/strategy is failover. Defines primary cluster and all substitutes within the list. Substitutes that are not defined are automatically ordered alphabetically e.g: for clusters us,uk,za,cn,eu,k8gb.io/primary-geotag: us,eu the clusters are selected in the following order us,eu,cn,uk,za
k8gb.io/weights is list containing key-values for the weights of the individual regions e.g: k8gb.io/weights: "eu:4,us:5,za:2". Weights are applied if k8gb.io/strategy is roundRobin.

Other annotations are k8gb.io/splitbrain-threshold-seconds and k8gb.io/dns-ttl-seconds
