Containerizing a REST API and Deploying to Kubernetes
Download as pptx, pdf9 likes4,466 views
This document discusses containerizing a REST microservice and deploying it to Kubernetes. It begins by explaining why to build a REST API using Swagger and containerization. It then demonstrates containerizing a sample REST API created with Swagger-node. Finally, it covers deploying the containerized REST API to Kubernetes, including using Kubernetes templates for the deployment and service, and deploying manually or through a CI system.

- 12. @aroach@CiscoDevNetdeveloper.cisco.com OpenAPI Spec (fka Swagger) • Open specification for describing REST APIs • A top-down approach where you would use the Swagger Editor to create your Swagger definition and then use the integrated Swagger Codegen tools to generate server implementation. • A bottom-up approach where you have an existing REST API for which you want to create a Swagger definition.
- 13. @aroach@CiscoDevNetdeveloper.cisco.com Swagger-node • Runtime environment that includes Swagger Editor • swagger project <command> • Start • Edit • node app.js for proper deployments
