Deploy NGINX on Kubernetes: Quick and Easy Setup with SiteBay

Introduction to Kubernetes

Kubernetes is a powerful open-source system for managing containerized applications across a cluster of machines. It provides tools for deploying applications, scaling them as necessary, managing changes to existing containerized applications, and optimizing the use of underlying hardware beneath your containers. SiteBay streamlines this process for WordPress hosting, providing an optimized environment for deploying, managing, and scaling your WordPress sites.

Deploying NGINX on Kubernetes

NGINX is renowned for its high performance, stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption. Here’s how to deploy NGINX on your Kubernetes cluster in SiteBay:

Prepare Your Configuration: Start by creating a deployment YAML file for NGINX. This file describes your NGINX deployment’s desired state, including the number of replicas, container image to use, and more.

Deploy NGINX: Use the kubectl apply command to deploy NGINX using your YAML file. This tells Kubernetes to create the deployment as described in your file.

Verify the Deployment: Check the status of your deployment with kubectl get deployments. You should see your NGINX deployment listed, indicating it’s up and running.

Access Your NGINX Application: Once deployed, you can access your NGINX application through the service you’ve configured in Kubernetes. This might be a LoadBalancer service that exposes your NGINX deployment to the internet.
