Kubernetes in PHP

Kubernetes is a very popular container orchestration and management tool in recent years. PHP, as a very popular web development language, also needs to adapt to this trend and manage its own applications through Kubernetes. In this article, we will explore how to use Kubernetes with PHP applications.

1. Overview of Kubernetes

Kubernetes is a container orchestration and management tool developed by Google for managing containerized applications. Kubernetes can automate the deployment, scaling and management of containers. It provides a highly scalable platform that can handle containerized applications quickly and reliably.

Kubernetes has the following main concepts:

1. Pod: The smallest deployment unit of Kubernetes, including one or more containers, sharing network and storage resources.
2. Service: A concurrent entity that can automatically discover and load balance application services.
3. Replication Controller: used to maintain the number of copies of a set of Pods to achieve load balancing and fault recovery.
4. Deployment: Used to manage the release process of applications, and can control the deployment, expansion, upgrade and rollback of applications.

2. Deploying PHP applications using Kubernetes

1. Writing Dockerfile

First, we need to write a Dockerfile file to create an image of the PHP application. Here is a simple example:

FROM php:7.2-apache
COPY app/ /var/www/html/

This Dockerfile uses the official PHP 7.2-apache image as the base image and copies our application to the /var/www/html directory.

2. Build the Docker image and upload it to Docker Hub

Use the following command to build the Docker image:

$ docker build -t username/appname:version .

Where username is your Docker Hub username , appname is your application name, version is your application version number, and the last dot indicates the current directory where the Dockerfile is located.

Next, upload the Docker image to Docker Hub:

$ docker push username/appname:version

Here you need to create a Repository on Docker Hub first and set the login credentials.

3. Create Kubernetes Deployment

In Kubernetes, Deployment is used to manage the application release process. To create a Deployment, a YAML file is required to describe the Deployment's configuration. The following is a simple example:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: appname
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: appname
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: appname
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: appname
        image: username/appname:version

This Deployment configuration file is used to deploy replicas=3 Pods. Each Pod contains a container named appname, using the Docker image previously uploaded to Docker Hub.

Now use the following command to create the Deployment:

$ kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml

4. Create Kubernetes Service

In Kubernetes, Service is used to expose application services. There are many service types, such as ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer, etc. For simplicity, here we use ClusterIP type Service. The following is a simple example:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: appname
spec:
  selector:
    app: appname
  ports:
  - name: http
    protocol: TCP
    port: 80
    targetPort: 80

The configuration file of this Service uses the ClusterIP type Service to expose the application service, uses the Selector named appname to find the corresponding Pod, and binds it to the 80 port of the container. .

Now use the following command to create the Service:

$ kubectl apply -f service.yaml

5. View the application service

Finally, you can use the following command to view the application service:

$ kubectl get service

This command will list all Services and display their ClusterIP and port.

At this point, we have successfully deployed a PHP application using Kubernetes.

3. Summary

This article introduces the process of using Kubernetes in PHP applications, including creating Dockerfile, building Docker image, uploading to Docker Hub, creating Kubernetes Deployment and Service, etc. By using Kubernetes, we can manage and scale our applications more easily.
