Lab 1.4 - F5 Container Connector Usage

Now that our container connector is up and running, let’s deploy an application to test both route domans / partitions.

For this lab we’ll use a simple pre-configured docker image called “f5-hello-world”. It can be found on docker hub at f5devcentral/f5-hello-world

To deploy “f5-hello-world” on ose-master1 and ose-master2 create the following files:

  1. Create a file called f5-hello-world-deployment.yaml

     1apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
 2kind: Deployment
 3metadata:
 4  name: f5-hello-world
 5spec:
 6  replicas: 2
 7  template:
 8    metadata:
 9      labels:
10        run: f5-hello-world
11    spec:
12      containers:
13      - name: f5-hello-world
14        image: "f5devcentral/f5-hello-world:develop"
15        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
16        ports:
17        - containerPort: 8080
18          protocol: TCP

  2. Create a file called f5-hello-world-service.yaml

     1apiVersion: v1
 2kind: Service
 3metadata:
 4  name: f5-hello-world
 5  labels:
 6    run: f5-hello-world
 7spec:
 8  ports:
 9  - port: 8080
10    protocol: TCP
11    targetPort: 8080
12  type: ClusterIP
13  selector:
14    run: f5-hello-world

Now we need to creat the f5 configmap of the application for each partition.

  1. Create a file called f5-hello-world-configmap-10.yaml on ose-master1

     1apiVersion: v1
 2kind: ConfigMap
 3metadata:
 4  name: f5-hello-world
 5  namespace: default
 6  labels:
 7    f5type: virtual-server
 8data:
 9  schema: "f5schemadb://bigip-virtual-server_v0.1.7.json"
10  data: |
11    {
12      "virtualServer": {
13        "frontend": {
14          "balance": "round-robin",
15          "mode": "http",
16          "partition": "okd10",
17          "virtualAddress": {
18            "bindAddr": "10.1.10.80%0",
19            "port": 80
20          }
21        },
22        "backend": {
23          "serviceName": "f5-hello-world",
24          "servicePort": 8080,
25          "healthMonitors": [{
26            "interval": 5,
27            "protocol": "http",
28            "send": "HEAD / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n",
29            "timeout": 16
30          }]
31        }
32      }
33    }

  2. Create a file called f5-hello-world-configmap-20.yaml on ose-master2

     1apiVersion: v1
 2kind: ConfigMap
 3metadata:
 4  name: f5-hello-world
 5  namespace: default
 6  labels:
 7    f5type: virtual-server
 8data:
 9  schema: "f5schemadb://bigip-virtual-server_v0.1.7.json"
10  data: |
11    {
12      "virtualServer": {
13        "frontend": {
14          "balance": "round-robin",
15          "mode": "http",
16          "partition": "okd20",
17          "virtualAddress": {
18            "bindAddr": "10.1.10.81%0",
19            "port": 80
20          }
21        },
22        "backend": {
23          "serviceName": "f5-hello-world",
24          "servicePort": 8080,
25          "healthMonitors": [{
26            "interval": 5,
27            "protocol": "http",
28            "send": "HEAD / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n",
29            "timeout": 16
30          }]
31        }
32      }
33    }

  3. We can now launch our application:

    ose-master1

    oc create -f f5-hello-world-deployment.yaml
oc create -f f5-hello-world-service.yaml
oc create -f f5-hello-world-configmap-10.yaml

    ose-master2

    oc create -f f5-hello-world-deployment.yaml
oc create -f f5-hello-world-service.yaml
oc create -f f5-hello-world-configmap-20.yaml

  4. To check the status of our deployment, you can run the following commands:

    oc get pods -o wide
oc describe svc f5-hello-world

  5. To test the app you need to pay attention to connect to the jumphost, open browser and got http://10.1.10.80 and http://10.1.10.81
