What I want to show:

• How to setup a local k8s cluster
• How to configure a set of nodes and make sure that they are configured in the same way
• How to build a few microservices which implement the Saga Orch pattern
• How to host a discovery service (istio.io)
• How to use keptn
• How to monitor the setup

This is a small but hands on example about how to build your own k8s cluster and run a Saga micro service on those nodes

Pre-requesits

• VirtualBox
• Multipass

Steps

Preparation

multipass launch --name linux1
multipass launch --name linux2
multipass launch --name linux3
multipass launch --name linux4

The first command takes a while as the images needs to get downloaded.

Verify the startup of the machines with multipass list. This should give you the following:
