Congratulations, your Deckhouse Kubernetes Platform is up and running!

Now that you have installed and properly configured Deckhouse, let’s look at what you can do with it.

By default, the Dex is used for accessing all the components.

Here are credentials generated in the previous steps:

  • Username — admin@deckhouse.io
  • Password — <GENERATED_PASSWORD> (you can also find it in the User CustomResource in the resource.yml file)

Use them to access the web interface of the Deckhouse components.

Deploying your first application

⟳ Setting up a CI/CD system

Create a ServiceAccount to use for deploying to the cluster and grant it all the necessary privileges.

You can use the generated kubeconfig file in Kubernetes with any deployment system.

🔀 Routing traffic

Create a Service and Ingress for your application.

Learn more about the capabilities of the ingress-nginx module.

🔍 Monitoring your application

Add prometheus.deckhouse.io/custom-target: "my-app" and prometheus.deckhouse.io/port: "80" annotations to the Service created.

For more information, see the monitoring-custom module’s documentation.

Other features

⚖ Managing nodes

Run the following command to list nodegroups created in the cluster during the deployment process: kubectl get nodegroups. For more information, see the node-manager’s documentation.

You only need to make changes to minPerZone and maxPerZone parameters to scale the existing groups. If these two parameters are not equal, Deckhouse will automatically launch an autoscaler.

You need to create a new InstanceClass and a NodeGroup referring to it to create new groups.
