This article introduces you how to use KubeSphere to build a low-cost DevOps platform, the content is very detailed, interested friends can refer to, hope to be helpful to you.

Challenges

The core business of Internet and e-commerce companies is focused on online, and the IT architecture determines the lifeblood of the company.

Originally, the original IT infrastructure of LiveNet was deployed in the IDC computer room in the way of traditional virtualization, and the daily occupancy rate of physical machines reached more than 95%. Resources were scarce, and the flexible expansion of applications was slow, which could not meet the needs of online business.

At the same time, although the original Life Network is an Internet e-commerce company, it stopped burning money a long time ago and began to pursue profits, and put forward the requirements of balancing costs, increasing revenue and reducing expenditure as far as possible in the construction of IT.

Therefore, the original life network urgently needs to reconstruct the infrastructure and build a more flexible and agile IT architecture to optimize the development operation and maintenance process, maximize the efficiency of application development and reduce the operation and maintenance cost of IT production environment.

Finally, the original Life Network decided to containerize the production environment and migrate the production environment from virtualization to Kubernetes, in order to improve resource utilization, achieve application flexibility, and ultimately reduce the work complexity of operation and maintenance personnel.

In addition, the original life of the application release is completed by the test team, but the testers lack of some development, operation and maintenance experience, can not quickly get started with the Kubernetes version of the rapid iteration.

To get through the DevOps integration process of development, testing and operation and maintenance, we need a unified platform to cooperate with the whole process of application development and online release.

However, the original Life Network through research found that most of the container platforms on the market can not meet their current needs.

Solution

Originally Life Network chose KubeSphere to solve the above problems.

KubeSphere is a container platform under Qingyun QingCloud and an open source Kubernetes distribution, which provides comprehensive multi-cluster management, CI / CD, micro-service governance, application management and other features through minimalist human-computer interaction, helping enterprises to quickly build, deploy, operate and maintain container architecture on heterogeneous infrastructure such as cloud, virtualization and physical machines, and achieve agile application development and lifecycle management.

Originally, Life Network gradually migrates the production environment from virtualization to Kubernetes through KubeSphere.

Based on the KubeSphere-oriented interaction, the test team can continuously release the application without being familiar with Kubernetes, and realize the monitoring and alarm of the application and infrastructure.

KubeSphere automatically collects logs of applications and infrastructure, which can facilitate further debugging by the test team, thus achieving unified DevOps management.

For Kubernetes clusters deployed by physical machines, Kubernetes does not provide functions similar to those exposed by LoadBalancer services, and this is how life is originally deployed.

In order to achieve a breakthrough, Live.com originally chose Porter, a sub-project of KubeSphere (a load balancer suitable for physical machines to deploy Kubernetes, which provides plug-ins for users to expose services in physical environment and service consistency experience on cloud), as a solution to expose Kubernetes services in physical environment.

User testimony

Before the use of KubeSphere, the original Life Network architecture team also investigated other platforms, which could not meet most of the needs.

When we found KubeSphere and invited the application release team to try it, we got very positive feedback, especially the good user experience and the convenience of container deployment, and the improvement of testing efficiency was also very obvious.

In addition, KubeSphere also greatly reduces the work complexity of the operation and maintenance team and saves the time cost from application development to launch and release.

Originally, Live.com does not need to spend a lot of time to develop a visual platform, and can also implement custom CI/CD processes, which is very important for the technical team.

On how to use KubeSphere to build a low-cost DevOps platform to share here, I hope the above content can be of some help to you, can learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
