Deploying a workload and interacting with your cluster

We are going to be using the same workload we launched in Chapter 14, Kubernetes Clusters on Google Kubernetes Engine, and Chapter 15, Launching a Kubernetes Cluster on Amazon Web Services with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, so I am not going to go into detail here other than to cover the commands.

Launching the workload

As per the previous chapters, there are three main steps to launching our workload:

1. Create the Redis leader deployment and service:

   $ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes-engine-samples/master/guestbook/redis-leader-deployment.yaml
   $ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes-engine-samples/master/guestbook/redis-leader-service.yaml

2. Create the Redis follower deployment and service:

   $ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes-engine-samples/master/guestbook/redis-follower...
