# Smoke Test

In this lab you will complete a series of tasks to ensure your Kubernetes cluster is functioning correctly.

## Data Encryption

In this section you will verify the ability to [encrypt secret data at rest](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/encrypt-data/#verifying-that-data-is-encrypted).

Create a generic secret:

```
kubectl create secret generic kubernetes-the-hard-way \
  --from-literal="mykey=mydata"
```

Print a hexdump of the `kubernetes-the-hard-way` secret stored in etcd:

```
gcloud compute ssh controller-0 \
  --command "sudo ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl get \
  --endpoints=https://127.0.0.1:2379 \
  --cacert=/etc/etcd/ca.pem \
  --cert=/etc/etcd/kubernetes.pem \
  --key=/etc/etcd/kubernetes-key.pem\
  /registry/secrets/default/kubernetes-the-hard-way | hexdump -C"
```

> output

```

```

The etcd key should be prefixed with `k8s:enc:aescbc:v1:key1`, which indicates the `aescbc` provider was used to encrypt the data with the `key1` encryption key.

## Deployments

In this section you will verify the ability to create and manage [Deployments](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/deployment/).

Create a deployment for the [nginx](https://nginx.org/en/) web server:

```
kubectl create deployment nginx --image=nginx
```

List the pod created by the `nginx` deployment:

```
kubectl get pods -l app=nginx
```

> output

```
NAME                    READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
nginx-f89759699-kpn5m   1/1     Running   0          10s
```

### Port Forwarding

In this section you will verify the ability to access applications remotely using [port forwarding](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/port-forward-access-application-cluster/).

Retrieve the full name of the `nginx` pod:

```
POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods -l app=nginx -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
```

Forward port `8080` on your local machine to port `80` of the `nginx` pod:

```
kubectl port-forward $POD_NAME 8080:80
```

> output

```
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8080 -> 80
Forwarding from [::1]:8080 -> 80
```

In a new terminal make an HTTP request using the forwarding address:

```
curl --head http://127.0.0.1:8080
```

> output

```
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/1.19.1
Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2020 07:14:00 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 612
Last-Modified: Tue, 07 Jul 2020 15:52:25 GMT
Connection: keep-alive
ETag: "5f049a39-264"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
```

Switch back to the previous terminal and stop the port forwarding to the `nginx` pod:

```
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8080 -> 80
Forwarding from [::1]:8080 -> 80
Handling connection for 8080
^C
```

### Logs

In this section you will verify the ability to [retrieve container logs](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/logging/).

Print the `nginx` pod logs:

```
kubectl logs $POD_NAME
```

> output

```
...
127.0.0.1 - - [18/Jul/2020:07:14:00 +0000] "HEAD / HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "curl/7.64.0" "-"
```

### Exec

In this section you will verify the ability to [execute commands in a container](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/get-shell-running-container/#running-individual-commands-in-a-container).

Print the nginx version by executing the `nginx -v` command in the `nginx` container:

```
kubectl exec -ti $POD_NAME -- nginx -v
```

> output

```
nginx version: nginx/1.19.5
```

## Services

In this section you will verify the ability to expose applications using a [Service](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/).

Expose the `nginx` deployment using a [NodePort](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#type-nodeport) service:

```
kubectl expose deployment nginx --port 80 --type NodePort
```

> The LoadBalancer service type can not be used because your cluster is not configured with [cloud provider integration](https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/scratch/#cloud-provider). Setting up cloud provider integration is out of scope for this tutorial.

Retrieve the node port assigned to the `nginx` service:

```
NODE_PORT=$(kubectl get svc nginx \
  --output=jsonpath='{range .spec.ports[0]}{.nodePort}')
```

Create a firewall rule that allows remote access to the `nginx` node port:

```
gcloud compute firewall-rules create kubernetes-the-hard-way-allow-nginx-service \
  --allow=tcp:${NODE_PORT} \
  --network kubernetes-the-hard-way
```

Retrieve the external IP address of a worker instance:

```
EXTERNAL_IP=$(gcloud compute instances describe worker-0 \
  --format 'value(networkInterfaces[0].accessConfigs[0].natIP)')
```

Make an HTTP request using the external IP address and the `nginx` node port:

```
curl -I http://${EXTERNAL_IP}:${NODE_PORT}
```

> output

```
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/1.19.1
Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2020 07:16:41 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 612
Last-Modified: Tue, 07 Jul 2020 15:52:25 GMT
Connection: keep-alive

Accept-Ranges: bytes
```
