Highly available Load-balancer for Kubernetes Cluster On-Premise – II

In the first post of this series, haproxy and keepalived installed, configured and tested.

In this post, two stateless Kubernetes web application will be deployed and domain names will be registered to DNS for these two web applications to test if Load-balancer is working as expected.

Note: For my home-lab, I am using the domain nordic.io.

For the Kubernetes cluster, I am assuming that, nginx Ingress controller deployed as DaemonSet and listening on port 80 and port 443 on each worker node.

Deploying Kubernetes Web Applications:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: hello-kubernetes-svc
  namespace: default
spec:
  ports:
  - port: 80
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 8080
  selector:
    app: hello-kubernetes
  sessionAffinity: None
  type: ClusterIP
status:
  loadBalancer: {}

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: hello-kubernetes

  replicas: 3
  selector:

apiVersion: v1

      schedulerName: default-scheduler

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress

  annotations:
    ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:
  rules:
  - host: whoami.nordic.io  
    http:
      paths:
        - path: /
          backend:
            serviceName: whoami-svc
            servicePort: 80

Registering Web Apps to DNS:

Adding DNS Records one of the curial part. In order to use single Load Balancer IP to multiple services we are adding CNAME record. You can see bind dns configuration below to make it.

vip1 IN A 10.5.100.50
helloworld IN CNAME vip1
whoami IN CNAME vip1

Experiment:

Checking DNS Records.

[tesla@deployment ~]$ nslookup helloworld
Server:		10.5.100.253
Address:	10.5.100.253#53

helloworld.nordic.io	canonical name = vip1.nordic.io.
Name:	vip1.nordic.io
Address: 10.5.100.50

[tesla@deployment ~]$ nslookup whoami
Server:		10.5.100.253
Address:	10.5.100.253#53

whoami.nordic.io	canonical name = vip1.nordic.io.
Name:	vip1.nordic.io
Address: 10.5.100.50

Testing Services:

Hello World App:

Whoami App:
