# Deployment guide for Kubernetes
|
|
|
|
> Note: The best place to start is the README file in the faas or faas-netes repo.
|
|
|
|
This guide is for deployment to a vanilla Kubernetes 1.8 cluster running on Linux hosts.
|
|
|
|
## Kubernetes
|
|
|
|
OpenFaaS is Kubernetes-native and uses *Deployments*, *Service*s and *Secret*s. For more detail check out the ["faas-netes" repository](https://github.com/openfaas/faas-netes).
|
|
|
|
> For deploying on a cloud that supports Kubernetes *LoadBalancers* you may also want to apply the configuration in: `cloud/lb.yml`.
|
|
|
|
### 1.0 Build a cluster
|
|
|
|
You can start evaluating FaaS and building functions on your laptop or on a VM (cloud or on-prem).
|
|
|
|
* [10 minute guides for minikube / kubeadm](https://blog.alexellis.io/tag/learn-k8s/)
|
|
|
|
### 2.0a Deploy with Helm
|
|
|
|
A Helm chart is provided `faas-netes` repo.
|
|
|
|
* [OpenFaaS Helm chart](https://github.com/openfaas/faas-netes/blob/master/HELM.md)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 2.0b Deploy OpenFaaS
|
|
|
|
* Clone the code
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/openfaas/faas-netes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Deploy the services
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd faas-netes
|
|
$ kubectl apply -f ./faas.yml,monitoring.yml,rbac.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3.0
|
|
|
|
That's it. You now have OpenFaaS deployed.
|
|
|
|
For simplicity the default configuration uses NodePorts rather than an IngressController (which is more complicated to setup).
|
|
|
|
| Service | TCP port |
|
|
--------------------|----------|
|
|
| API Gateway / UI | 31112 |
|
|
| Prometheus | 31119 |
|
|
|
|
> If you're an advanced Kubernetes user, you can add an IngressController to your stack and remove the NodePort assignments.
|
|
|
|
* Deploy a sample function
|
|
|
|
There are currently no sample functions built into this stack, but we can deploy them quickly via the UI or FaaS-CLI.
|
|
|
|
**Use the CLI**
|
|
|
|
* Install the CLI
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ curl -sL cli.openfaas.com | sudo sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then clone some samples to deploy on your cluster.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/openfaas/faas-cli
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Edit samples.yml and change your gateway URL from `localhost:8080` to `kubernetes-node-ip:31112`.
|
|
|
|
i.e.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
provider:
|
|
name: faas
|
|
gateway: http://192.168.4.95:31112
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now deploy the samples:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ faas-cli deploy -f samples.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> The `faas-cli` also supports an override of `--gateway http://...` for example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ faas-cli deploy -f samples.yml --gateway http://127.0.0.1:31112
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
List the functions:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ faas-cli list -f samples.yml
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
$ faas-cli list --gateway http://127.0.0.1:31112
|
|

|
* Learn about the CLI
|
|
|
|
[Morning coffee with the OpenFaaS CLI](https://blog.alexellis.io/quickstart-openfaas-cli/)
|
|
|
|
* Build your first Python function
|
|
|
|
[Your first serverless Python function with OpenFaaS](https://blog.alexellis.io/first-faas-python-function/)
|
|
|
|
**Use the UI**
|
|
|
|
The UI is exposed on NodePort 31112.
|
|
|
|
Click "New Function" and fill it out with the following:
|
|
|
|
| Field | Value |
|
|
-------------|------------------------------|
|
|
| Service | nodeinfo |
|
|
| Image | functions/nodeinfo:latest |
|
|
| fProcess | node main.js |
|
|
| Network | default |
|
|
|
|
* Test the function
|
|
|
|
Your function will appear after a few seconds and you can click "Invoke"
|
|
|
|
You can also use the CLI like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ echo -n "" | faas-cli invoke --gateway http://kubernetes-ip:31112 nodeinfo
|
|
$ echo -n "verbose" | faas-cli invoke --gateway http://kubernetes-ip:31112 nodeinfo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Asynchronous functions
|
|
|
|
Asynchronous invocation works by queuing requests with NATS Streaminig.
|
|
|
|
Deploy the asynchronous stack like this (or use the helm chart with the async override)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd faas-netes
|
|
$ kubectl apply -f ./faas.async.yml,nats.yml,monitoring.yml,rbac.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
