Now we are ready to load the configuration in our kubernetes cluster.

We can do that by doing

kubectl apply -f <filename>

$ ls
client-node-port.yaml  client-pod.yaml
$ kubectl apply -f client-pod.yaml
pod/client-pod created
$ kubectl apply -f client-node-port.yaml
service/client-node-port created

To check the status of the object:

kubectl get <object type>

$ kubectl get pods
NAME         READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
client-pod   1/1     Running   0          2m51s

$ kubectl get services
NAME               TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)          AGE
client-node-port   NodePort    10.106.105.100   <none>        3050:31515/TCP   2m26s
kubernetes         ClusterIP   10.96.0.1        <none>        443/TCP          49m

So, everything seems to be running. We can verify that we can load the site.

Note that the minikube VM has it's own IP and will not respond to localhost, so we can run a command:

$ minikube ip
192.168.99.101
