kube_vertx_demo

This version uses Hazelcast "REST" discovery, the DNS version you can find here: https://github.com/amoAHCP/kube_vertx_demo/tree/dns-resolving

A Kubernetes, Vert.x/Hazelcast/vxms demo

This is an event driven microservice demo using three Vertx instances, each running in a separate kubernetes pod (rc & service). The instances are clustered using the hazlecast kubernetes plugin (currently the REST endpoint). To run the demo, a running kubernetes (with DNS enabled) is assumed (http://kubernetes.io/docs/hellonode/). The demo application is a small user-administration in AngularJs. The frontend-verticle contains the UI and a vxms REST Endpoint (the aggregator) (https://github.com/amoAHCP/vxms). The read requests will be passed to the read-verticle using the Vert.x event bus (clustered Hazelcast), and the write request to the write-verticle. All instances are using the same mongodb deployment running in the same kubernetes cluster.

run the demo

1. run the "create_mongoDB.sh" script to create a mongodb replication controller and the corresponding service. The other container will acces the mongodb by DNS name.
2. run "build_frontend_image.sh -v $VERSION -p $PROJECTNAME -d true", this will create the docker image, build the maven project and upload it to your gcloud docker repository. When finished, do the same with build_read_image.sh & build_write_image.sh
3. create the services by executing "create_services.sh"
4. create the replication controllers by executing "create_controllers.sh"

When you type "kubectl get services" you should see something like that:

NAME	CLUSTER_IP	EXTERNAL_IP	PORT(S)	SELECTOR	AGE
frontend-verticle	10.3.250.98	146.148.3.148	80/TCP	name=frontend-verticle	10s
kubernetes	10.3.240.1		443/TCP		12d
mongo	10.3.245.198		27017/TCP	name=mongo	40s
read-verticle	10.3.243.101		5701/TCP	name=read-verticle	10s
write-verticle	10.3.255.80		5701/TCP	name=write-verticle	10s

The frontend-verticle gets an external ip address (it may take some minutes until the external ip appears) and should be now accessible in the browser (the demo uses port 80).

• To see all running pods, type: "kubectl get pods"

| NAME | READY | STATUS | RESTARTS | |---------------------|:--------------:|:---------------:|:-----------:|----:| |frontend-verticle-controller-aqe2n |1/1 |Running |0|
|mongo-controller-heyhc |1/1 |Running |0|
|read-verticle-controller-8rmfl |1/1 |Running |0|
|write-verticle-controller-3pj73 |1/1 |Running |0|

• To get the logs of a pod type: "kubectl logs write-verticle-controller-3pj73".
• To see all running replication controller, type: "kubectl get rc"
• To scale the frontend-container type: "kubectl scale rc frontend-verticle-controller --replicas=2"

run the demo locally (without docker and kubernetes)

1. start a mongodb accessible on localhost (or set env properties)
2. build all 3 projects (mvn clean package)
3. start each instance like this: java -jar frontend-verticle/target/frontend-verticle-fat.jar -cluster -conf frontend-verticle/local.json
