Deploying our App

A quick recap

Let's take a moment to recap the things we have covered so far.

• Created a base manifest using kubekutr.
• Applied patches to the base for configuring the volume mount.
• Created overlays for local environment with kustomize.
• Used configMapGenerator and secretGenerator to create these native objects from raw resources.

We are pretty close to a full-fledged deployment of Listmonk. A few more things that we need to cover:

• Creating a Job: Job object helps us to run one-off tasks like DB Migrations, pulling assets from S3, etc.
• Adding Persistent storage: Persistent Volume helps us back the storage to a Pod which is necessary for stateful workloads like Databases etc.
• Running on microK8s: We will aggregate all the resources and apply the changes to the cluster.
