Micro Platform

This directory serves as platform bootstrapping for Micro.

Overview

The platform provides Micro as a Service as a fully managed solution. The platform is bootstrapped onto Kubernetes on any major cloud provider, including load balancing and dns management. This repository serves as the entrypoint and single location for all bootstrapping related source code and documentation.

Contents

• main.go - The main program that includes the installer
• kubernetes - include the config to deploy to k8s

Usage

To install the platform on an existing Kubernetes cluster use the following commands. The installer assumes the kubernetes directory is in the current directory.

platform install

To uninstall

platform uninstall

Each build of micro/platform is tagged with a snapshot, e.g. micro/platform:20200810104423b10609. To update the platform to use a new tag (with zero downtime), run the following command:

platform update 20200810104423b10609

If that fails use

kubectl set image deployments micro=micro/micro:20200810104423b10609 -l micro=runtime

The -l flag indicates we only want to do this to deployments with the micro=runtime label. The micro= part of the argument indicates the container name.

The platform binary bakes in micro with the platform profile. Type help for the micro commands.

platform --help

TODO

• Add config - post deployment bootstrapping config
• Use the platform profile and define this as a micro platform binary
