Production on AKS

The purpose of this overlay is to bring up Tracker on AKS in a production config. The config here is just a draft. We're just getting started!

If you need some credentials for this cluster, you can generate them with make credentials mode=prod.

Bringing up a cluster on AKS

Normally we would create the cluster with make cluster, but we haven't gotten an AKS equivalent worked out yet. In the absence of that, we'll just assume you already have a 6 node cluster somehow, and kubectl configured to talk to it.

Installing Tracker

Just run the following commands.

make secrets env=aks
# If either of these fail, just run them again
make platform env=production
make app env=production

Or as an alternate path, you could install flux and let it do the work for you.

make secrets env=aks
make deploy env=production

If you want to watch the pod creation process, you can do it with this:

watch kubectl get po -A

That will bring the cluster up with a self-signed certificate. To connect to it, we just need the external IP.

kubectl get svc -n istio-system istio-ingressgateway

Connecting to both https://<externalip> and https://<externalip>/graphql should succeed. Reaching the frontend and API respectively.

Loading data

The database isn't exposed to the outside world, so loading data requires you to forward the database ports to your local machine.

kubectl port-forward -n db svc/arangodb 8529:8529

With that port forwarding in place, you can now load/dump with the following commands:

make dump to=~/track_dmarc-$(date --iso-8601)
make restore from=~/track_dmarc-2021-05-12
