Deploying a service in kubernetes

If you plan to deploy a new service in the Kubernetes cluster make sure your service includes the following before contacting serviceops team:

• Service must include metrics
• Service must include logs to stdout
  • Should logs have the @cee tag?
  • What attributes should be included?

• Continuous integration should be implemented using Blubber/Pipeline (Docker#Building images)
  • This will create a docker image of your application
• Service must have a readiness endpoint
  • Minimum requirement: returns 200 status
  • Example: /healthz endpoint in Kask
• Service must have monitoring
• You should create a Helm chart using your image (from Blubber/Pipeline) and test it on kubernetes as well.

Contact the serviceops team, they should create namespaces etc. for you in the kubernetes cluster

• Where applicable discuss:
  • How to deploy/upgrade/rollback your service in the cluster?
  • Access/permissions to invoke kubectl
  • Can i deploy more than one service in a namespace?
