Create Kubernetes resources

To create the Kubernetes resources, you must have the kubectl command line tool configured to communicate with your Kubernetes cluster, through either a Kubernetes configuration file or an MKE client bundle.

Note

The documentation herein assumes that you have the necessary file structure on your workstation.

To create the Kubernetes resources:

1. Create a Kubernetes namespace to logically separate all of the MSR cache components:

   kubectl create namespace msr
   

2. Create the Kubernetes Secrets that contain the MSR cache TLS certificates and a Kubernetes ConfigMap that contains the MSR cache configuration file:

   kubectl -n msr create secret generic msr-certs \
     --from-file=certs/msr.cert.pem \
     --from-file=certs/cache.cert.pem \
     --from-file=certs/cache.key.pem
   
   kubectl -n msr create configmap msr-cache-config \
     --from-file=config.yaml
   

3. Create the Kubernetes deployment:

   kubectl create -f msrcache.yaml
   

4. Review the running Pods in your cluster to confirm successful deployment:

   kubectl -n msr get pods
   

5. Optional. Troubleshoot your deployment:

   kubectl -n msr describe pods <pods>
   

   and/or:

   kubectl -n msr logs <pods>
