Application Deployment With Kubernetes and API Modeling

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of modeling, deploying, and managing applications using Kubernetes, including key components like Pods, Deployments, and Services. It also covers API modeling with OpenAPI for defining service structures and behaviors, as well as integration of metrics for monitoring application performance. Additionally, it discusses testing and scaling strategies using tools like K6 and Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) to optimize resource usage.

📦 Application Deployment with Kubernetes and API Modeling

🚀 Overview

This guide outlines how to model, deploy, and manage an application using Kubernetes (K8s)
and how to design its API for integration, monitoring, and scaling.

1. 🧱 Application on Kubernetes

🌀 Why Kubernetes?

Kubernetes automates:

 Deployment and scaling

 Self-healing (e.g., pod restarts)

 Service discovery

 Resource management

🧩 Basic Kubernetes Objects

Component Purpose

Pod Smallest deployable unit (app container)

Deployment Manages pods and rollout

Service Exposes app within/outside the cluster

Ingress HTTP routing to services

ConfigMap Injects configs into pods

Secret Manages sensitive data

🛠 Example YAML (Web App)

yaml

CopyEdit

apiVersion: apps/v1

kind: Deployment

metadata:

name: myapp-deployment

spec:

replicas: 3

selector:
matchLabels:

app: myapp

template:

metadata:

labels:

app: myapp

spec:

containers:

- name: myapp-container

image: myorg/myapp:latest

ports:

- containerPort: 8080

---

apiVersion: v1

kind: Service

metadata:

name: myapp-service

spec:

selector:

app: myapp

ports:

- port: 80

targetPort: 8080

type: ClusterIP

2. 🔗 API Modeling

🔹 Purpose of API Modeling

Defines structure, behavior, and contracts of services.

📘 Use OpenAPI (Swagger)

Example:

yaml
CopyEdit

openapi: 3.0.0

info:

title: MyApp API

version: 1.0.0

paths:

/users:

get:

summary: Get all users

responses:

'200':

description: OK

🔑 Key Components of API Modeling

Element Purpose

Endpoints Define actions (e.g., /users)

Methods HTTP verbs (GET, POST, etc.)

Schemas Data model (JSON/XML)

Security Auth (e.g., OAuth2, JWT)

3. 📊 Integration: Metrics & KPIs

Expose internal metrics via /metrics endpoint or Prometheus Exporters.

Example Metrics:

KPI Metric Name Tool

Latency http_request_duration_seconds Prometheus

Error Rate http_errors_total Prometheus

Uptime up Prometheus

Request Count http_requests_total Prometheus

4. 🧪 Testing & Scaling

 Use K6 or Postman for API load testing


 Use HPA (HorizontalPodAutoscaler) to scale Kubernetes pods based on metrics

yaml

CopyEdit

apiVersion: autoscaling/v2

kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler

metadata:

name: myapp-hpa

spec:

scaleTargetRef:

apiVersion: apps/v1

kind: Deployment

name: myapp-deployment

minReplicas: 2

maxReplicas: 10

metrics:

- type: Resource

resource:

name: cpu

target:

type: Utilization

averageUtilization: 60

✅ Summary

Component Role

Kubernetes App deployment & scaling

OpenAPI/Swagger API definition and documentation

Prometheus/Grafana Metric collection and visualization

HPA Dynamic autoscaling based on KPIs
