Tanzu vSphere 7 with Kubernetes on NSX-T 3.0 VDS Install Part 5: Testing, Demo Apps

In this section, we will perform some testing on the TKG clusters.

 

Step 1 – Login to the TKG Cluster and switch to the tkg cluster context.

kubectl vsphere login server 10.30.10.1 vsphere-username administrator@vsphere.local insecure-skip-tls-verify tanzu-kug-cluster tanzu-kubernetes-cluster-namespace demo-app-01

kubectl config use-context tkg-cluster
  
kubectl get nodes

 

Step 2 – Apply ClusterRole Security Policies.

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dstamen/Kubernetes/master/demo-applications/allow-runasnonroot-clusterrole.yaml

 

Step 3 – Deploy the application.

I used the hipster shop demo.

kubectl create ns hipster
  
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dstamen/Kubernetes/master/demo-applications/demo-hipstershop.yaml -n hipster

 

Step 4 – Access the application.

Find out the virtual IP which is being load-balanced by NSX-T LB being assigned.

kubectl get pod -n hipster
  
kubectl get svc -n hipster

 

Viola! Now you can try to access the application!
