Thank you for inspiration

I’m new to this, what would this look like for an application being managed as part of a helm chart, as in what would the source code look like without using kubectl commands? I’m not 100% sure what to change in the template files and what to add and I want it to be easily managed without having to run commands every time. And how would this work if you’re running locally using minikube as you wouldn’t have a loadbalancer or an external IP assigned? I don’t know how to assign an external IP using minikube and minikube tunnel isn’t seeming to work.

Hi brother. Please, the link for the blog post in the description needs to be updated. Overall, thanks for this quick tutorial on how to start things up!

[@ascode-com]

thanks for letting me know!

[@yichizhang973]

thanks for your create video, I have followed your steps, only the difference is that the external ip is not showing, it seems to be the issue with loadbalancer

[@yichizhang973]

by the way, I am doing this on my laptop, local env

[@ascode-com]

check what the load balancer says in the aws console and kubectl describe

[@user-qk4tx9jc4m]

If the ingress is exposed as a load balancer service, would you connect it with route53 with ssl in aws? Is that the industry standard?

[@ascode-com]

route 53 only manages DNS. To configure TLS or SSL you'd need to get the certs and configure them to work with your load balancer. You'd need to use something like cert-manager with a certificate issuer like letsencrypt. Let me know if that's something you're interested in seeing.

you look so much like Jaedong - very well known SC & SC2 player from South Korea

[@user-qv2gl3wl5s]

Hi, I know this is a bit off-topic, but I have a question. I'm using ingress-nginx on EKS with an NLB (externalTrafficPolicy: Local), and my target group instances are showing as unhealthy. Any advice on resolving this?

[@ascode-com]

the health check is likely failing. either the load balancer can't reach your app or your app isn't responding properly

[@abalso1507]

Could you please share a video using the TLS certifications

[@ascode-com]

pending! (tm)

[@gradergreder6931]

how are you use CAT modules in terminal?

[@ascode-com]

check out bat! alias cat=“bat”

[@gradergreder6931]

Let's Encrypt SSL Certificates for Kubernetes with cert-manager comming soon)

[@bhawanakalundrekar9680]

I cannot see my external IP coming up, it is pending only since long

[@ascode-com]

try checking aws load balancer in console and using kubectl describe. could be subnet issue

[@RashidKhan-ss7em]

Tell me about external ip its given me none

[@ascode-com]

try checking aws load balancer in console and using kubectl describe.

[@LucCelny]

If you can do this with SSL and through Terraform I would donate ;)

[@jleeleeeeee]

Does this work on windows? Because you’re staring into the window of my soul 😩

[@ascode-com]

It actually only works if you use git to commit to me 😉
