Now what? This guide will help you get oriented 5 to Kubernetes and running your first containers on the cluster. 6 7 ### Running a container (simple version) 8 9 From this point onwards, it is assumed that `kubectl` is on your path from one of the getting started guides. 10 11 The [`kubectl create`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubectl-commands#create) line below will create a [deployment](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/deployment/) named `my-nginx` to ensure that there are always a [nginx](https://hub.docker.com/_/nginx/) [pod](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-overview/) running. 12 13 ```bash 14 kubectl create deployment --image nginx my-nginx 15 ``` 16 17 You can list the pods to see what is up and running: 18 19 ```bash 20 kubectl get pods 21 ``` 22 23 You can also see the deployment that was created: 24 25 ```bash 26 kubectl get deployment 27 ``` 28 29 You can also scale the deployment to ensure there is two nginx pods running: 30 31 ```bash 32 kubectl scale deployment --replicas 2 my-nginx 33 ``` 34 35 You can now list the pods to see there is two up and running: 36 37 ```bash 38 kubectl get pods 39 ``` 40 41 ### Exposing your pods to the internet 42 43 On some platforms (for example Google Compute Engine) the kubectl command can integrate with your cloud provider to add a [public IP address](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#publishing-services---service-types) for the pods, 44 to do this run: 45 46 ```bash 47 kubectl expose deployment my-nginx --port=80 --type=LoadBalancer 48 ``` 49 50 This should print the service that has been created, and map an external IP address to the service. Where to find this external IP address will depend on the environment you run in. For instance, for Google Compute Engine the external IP address is listed as part of the newly created service and can be retrieved by running 51 52 ```bash 53 kubectl get services 54 ``` 55 56 In order to access your nginx landing page, you also have to make sure that traffic from external IPs is allowed. Do this by opening a firewall to allow traffic on port 80. 57 58 ### Cleanup 59 60 To delete the two replicated containers, delete the deployment: 61 62 ```bash 63 kubectl delete deployment my-nginx 64 ``` 65 66 ### Next: Configuration files 67 68 Most people will eventually want to use declarative configuration files for creating/modifying their applications. A [simplified introduction](https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-journeys/users/application-developer/foundational/#section-2) 69 is given in a different document. 70 71 72 <!-- BEGIN MUNGE: GENERATED_ANALYTICS --> 73 []() 74 <!-- END MUNGE: GENERATED_ANALYTICS -->
