It's The Future

-Yeah, I was saying about Kubernetes.

-That let’s you orchestrate all your services.

Overview

Prepare GKE

• Reserve static IP
• Add A records (e.g. *.gitlab.godfat.org) on your DNS
• Create cluster
• Connect to the cluster via kubectl proxy
• http://localhost:8001/ui

Setup GitLab on GKE

git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/kubernetes-gitlab-demo.git

env GITLAB_GKE_IP=104.199.210.42 \
    GITLAB_GKE_DOMAIN=gitlab.godfat.org \
    GITLAB_LEGO_EMAIL=jen-shin@gitlab.com \
    bash generate.bash

kubectl create -f gitlab-gitlab-godfat-org.yml

https://gitlab.gitlab.godfat.org/
