Deploying a stateless Linux application | Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)

This page explains how to deploy a stateless Linux application using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). You can also learn how to deploy a stateless Windows application.

Overview

Stateless applications are applications which do not store data or application state to the cluster or to persistent storage. Instead, data and application state stay with the client, which makes stateless applications more scalable. For example, a frontend application is stateless: you deploy multiple replicas to increase its availability and scale down when demand is low, and the replicas have no need for unique identities.

Kubernetes uses the Deployment controller to deploy stateless applications as uniform, non-unique Pods. Deployments manage the desired state of your application: how many Pods should run your application, what version of the container image should run, what the Pods should be labelled, and so on. The desired state can be changed dynamically through updates to the Deployment's Pod specification.

Stateless applications are in contrast to stateful applications, which use persistent storage to save data and which use StatefulSets to deploy Pods with unique identities.

Before you begin

Before you start, make sure that you have performed the following tasks:

Anatomy of a Deployment

The following is an example of a simple Deployment manifest file. This Deployment creates three replicated Pods labelled run=my-app that run the hello-app image stored in Artifact Registry:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: my-app
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      run: my-app
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        run: my-app
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: hello-app
        image: us-docker.pkg.dev/google-samples/containers/gke/hello-app:1.0

In this example:

For more information about the Deployment specification, refer to the Deployment API reference.

Creating a Deployment

You create a Deployment using one of the following methods:

kubectl apply

You can declaratively create and update Deployments from manifest files using kubectl apply. This method also retains updates made to live resources without merging the changes back into the manifest files.

To create a Deployment from its manifest file, run the following command:

kubectl apply -f DEPLOYMENT_FILE

Replace DEPLOYMENT_FILE with the manifest file, such as config.yaml.

You can also use kubectl apply -f DIRECTORY/ to create all objects (except existing ones) defined in manifest files stored a directory.

Note: kubectl apply fails if you do not have an active cluster. Console

To create a Deployment, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to the Workloads page in the Google Cloud console.

    Go to Workloads

  2. Click add_box Deploy.

  3. Under Specify container, select one of the following:

  4. Optionally, configure your deployment with:

  5. Click Done, and then click Continue.

  6. In the Configuration section, give your deployment an Application name and specify the Kubernetes Namespace to deploy it in.

  7. Optionally, under Labels, you can add Kubernetes Labels to the deployment.

  8. To save the YAML that creates this deployment to update it later, click View YAML. Copy and paste the YAML into a file, then save it and click Close on the YAML Output dialog.

  9. From the Kubernetes Cluster drop-down menu, choose the desired cluster.

  10. Click Deploy.

Inspecting the Deployment

After you create a Deployment, you can use one of the following methods to inspect it:

kubectl

To get detailed information about the Deployment, run the following command:

kubectl describe deployment DEPLOYMENT_NAME

Replace DEPLOYMENT_NAME with the name of the Deployment.

To list the Pods created by the Deployment, run the following command:

kubectl get pods -l KEY=VALUE

In this command, the -l flag instructs kubectl to get all Pods with a key-value label. For example, if you labelled the Deployment run: my-app, you'd run kubectl get pods -l run=my-app to see Pods with that label.

To get information about a specific Pod:

kubectl describe pod POD_NAME

To view a Deployment's manifest, run the following command:

kubectl get deployments DEPLOYMENT_NAME -o yaml

This command displays the Deployment's live configuration in YAML format.

Console

To inspect a Deployment, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to the Workloads page in the Google Cloud console.

    Go to Workloads

  2. In the workloads list, click the name of the Deployment you want to inspect.

  3. On the Deployment details page, do any of the following:

Updating the Deployment

You can roll out updates to a Deployment's Pod specification, such as their image, resource usage/requests, or configuration.

You can update a Deployment using the following methods:

kubectl apply

You can update the Deployment by applying a new or updated manifest file. This is useful for making various changes to your Deployment, such as for scaling or for specifying a new version of your application.

Note: To update a resource with kubectl apply, the resource would need to have been created using either kubectl apply or kubectl create --save-config.

To update a Deployment, run the following command:

kubectl apply -f DEPLOYMENT_FILE

Replace DEPLOYMENT_FILE with the updated manifest file.

The kubectl apply command applies a manifest file to a resource. If the specified resource does not exist, it is created by the command.

kubectl set

You can use kubectl set to change a Deployment's image, resources (requests or limits), or selector fields.

To change a Deployment's image, run the following command:

kubectl set image deployment DEPLOYMENT_NAME IMAGE IMAGE:TAG

For example, to update a Deployment from nginx version 1.7.9 to 1.9.1, run the following command:

kubectl set image deployment nginx nginx=nginx:1.9.1
Console

To access the Deployment's Rolling update menu:

  1. Go to the Workloads page in the Google Cloud console.

    Go to Workloads

  2. In the workloads list, click the name of the Deployment you want to modify.

  3. Click list Actions > Rolling update.

  4. Configure the following optional parameters for the update strategy:

  5. Under Container images, enter the image path and version for the updated container image.

  6. Click Update.

Rolling back an update

You can roll back an update using kubectl rollout undo.

You can roll back an in-progress or completed update to its previous revision:

kubectl rollout undo deployment my-deployment

You can also roll back to a specific revision:

kubectl rollout undo deployment my-deployment --to-revision=3
Scaling a Deployment

You can manually scale a Deployment using the Google Cloud console or kubectl scale.

You can learn more about autoscaling Deployments.

kubectl

kubectl scale can be used at any time to scale your Deployment.

To manually scale a Deployment, run the following command:

kubectl scale deployment DEPLOYMENT_NAME --replicas NUMBER_OF_REPLICAS

Replace NUMBER_OF_REPLICAS with the desired number of replicated Pods.

Console

To scale a Deployment, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to the Workloads page in the Google Cloud console.

    Go to Workloads

  2. In the workloads list, click the name of the Deployment you want to modify.

  3. Click list Actions > Scale > Edit replicas

  4. Enter the new number of Replicas for the Deployment.

  5. Click Scale.

Deleting a Deployment

You can delete a Deployment using the Google Cloud console or kubectl delete.

kubectl

To delete a Deployment, run the following command:

kubectl delete deployment DEPLOYMENT_NAME
Console

To delete a Deployment, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to the Workloads page in the Google Cloud console.

    Go to Workloads

  2. In the workloads list, select one or more Deployments to delete.

  3. Click delete Delete.

  4. When prompted to confirm, click Delete.
