Deploy Grafana on Kubernetes Cluster

 Question : The Nautilus DevOps teams is planning to set up a Grafana tool to collect and analyze analytics from some applications. They are planning to deploy it on Kubernetes cluster. Below you can find more details.

1.) Create a deployment named grafana-deployment-nautilus using any grafana image for Grafana app. Set other parameters as per your choice.

2.) Create NodePort type service with nodePort 32000 to expose the app.

You need not to make any configuration changes inside the Grafana app once deployed, just make sure you are able to access the Grafana login page.

Note: The kubeclt on jump_host has been configured to work with kubernetes cluster.

Please Note :-  Perform the below commands based on your question server,  user name & other details that might differ. So please read the task carefully before executing it. 

All the Best 👍

Solution:  

1. Check existing running Pods  & Services 

thor@jump_host ~$ kubectl get pods No resources found in default namespace. thor@jump_host ~$ thor@jump_host ~$ kubectl get services NAME         TYPE        CLUSTER-IP   EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)   AGE kubernetes   ClusterIP   10.96.0.1    <none>        443/TCP   13m thor@jump_host ~$

2.  Create a YAML  file with all the parameters,  Kindly do the changes as per task

you can copy from GitLab    https://gitlab.com/nb-tech-support/devops.git

    ( Refer Below Video for more clarity )

thor@jump_host ~$ vi /tmp/grafana.yaml thor@jump_host ~$ cat /tmp/grafana.yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata:   name: grafana-service-nautilus spec:   type: NodePort   selector:     app: grafana   ports:     - port: 3000       targetPort: 3000       nodePort: 32000 --- apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata:   name: grafana-deployment-nautilus spec:   selector:     matchLabels:       app: grafana   template:     metadata:       labels:         app: grafana     spec:       containers:         - name: grafana-container-nautilus           image: grafana/grafana:latest           ports:             - containerPort: 3000 thor@jump_host ~$

3. Run the below command to create a pod 

thor@jump_host ~$ kubectl create -f /tmp/grafana.yaml service/grafana-service-nautilus created deployment.apps/grafana-deployment-nautilus created thor@jump_host ~$

4.  Wait for the pod to get completed status

thor@jump_host ~$ kubectl get service NAME                       TYPE        CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)          AGE grafana-service-nautilus   NodePort    10.96.194.115   <none>        3000:32000/TCP   14s kubernetes                 ClusterIP   10.96.0.1       <none>        443/TCP          15m thor@jump_host ~$ thor@jump_host ~$ kubectl get pods NAME                                           READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE grafana-deployment-nautilus-66bb8cdd8b-2tp4h   1/1     Running   0          22s thor@jump_host ~$
