Deploy a Multitenant Application to a Provider subaccount, Kyma Runtime

Open your subaccount in the Cockpit. In the overview page, find the subdomain for your deployment.

For example:

Find the full Kyma cluster domain in the downloaded kubeconfig.yml file. For example: e6803e4.kyma.shoot.live.k8s-hana.ondemand.com.

1. Install tool
   

   
   In order to run your code on the Kyma Runtime (or on any Kubernetes-based platform), you need to provide an OCI image (aka Docker image) for your application. While you are in principle free to choose your image building tool, we recommend using Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNB).
   
   
   The command-line tool pack supports providing a buildpack and your local source code and creating an OCI image from it. We are working on a process to provide recommended and supported buildpacks. In the meantime, you can use the community-supported Paketo Buildpacks.
   
   
   If you followed the tutorials Create a Basic Node.js Application with Express Generator and Deploy a Node.js Application in the Kyma Runtime, you have installed the command-line tool pack, if not, please follow this official guide: Install Pack.

   For example (macOS):

   Shell / Bash

   Copy

   brew install buildpacks/tap/pack
   

2. Build image for applications
   

   
   When we speak about repository name, we mean the combination of account and repo name that is usual with Docker Hub: <docker-hub-account>/<repo-name>. An example would be tiaxu/multitenant-kyma-backend.
   
   
   As you can only create one private repository in a free Docker hub account, Docker images stored in Docker hub will have different tag names so that they can be stored in one repository. Thus, addressing an image will include the tag name:<docker-hub-account>/<repo-name>:<tag-name>. An example would be tiaxu/multitenant-kyma-backend:v1.
   
   
   In the directory kyma-multitenant-approuter, build the image for the approuter app from source, for example:
   Shell / Bash

   Copy

   pack build multitenant-approuter --builder paketobuildpacks/builder:full
   docker tag multitenant-approuter <docker-hub-account>/multitenant-approuter:v1
   

   In the directory kyma-multitenant-node, build the image for the approuter app from source, for example:

   Shell / Bash

   Copy

   pack build multitenant-kyma-backend --builder paketobuildpacks/builder:full
   docker tag multitenant-kyma-backend <docker-hub-account>/multitenant-kyma-backend:v1
   

1. Log in to Docker using this command:

docker login -u <docker-id> -p <password>

2. Push the local images into the Docker Hub:

docker push <docker-hub-account>/multitenant-approuter:v1
docker push <docker-hub-account>/multitenant-kyma-backend:v1

For more details, see the Kubernetes documentation.

If you followed the tutorials Create a Basic Node.js Application with Express Generator and Deploy a Node.js Application in the Kyma Runtime, you have created a namespace in the Kyma environment called multitenancy-ns. If not, create a new namespace through the Kyma dashboard or kubectl CLI, for example, called multitenancy-ns:

Since the OCI image is stored in your Docker hub, you need to provide the access information to your Kyma cluster that you can pull the images from those repositories.

If you followed the tutorials Create a Basic Node.js Application with Express Generator and Deploy a Node.js Application in the Kyma Runtime, you have configured the credential of your Docker Hub as a Secret. If not, create a new Secret with the following command, replace the placeholder values according to your account:

kubectl -n multitenancy-ns create secret docker-registry registry-secret --docker-server=https://index.docker.io/v1/  --docker-username=<docker-id> --docker-password=<password> --docker-email=<email>

Therefore, all deployment files contain an imagePullSecret entry, which should be set to registry-secret.

imagePullSecrets:
        - name: registry-secret # replace with your own registry secret

1. Deploy consumed services by executing this command:

kubectl -n multitenancy-ns apply -f k8s-deployment-services.yaml

2. Deploy the approuter applications by executing this command:

kubectl -n multitenancy-ns apply -f k8s-deployment-approuter.yaml

3. Deploy the backend applications by executing this command:

kubectl -n multitenancy-ns apply -f k8s-deployment-backend.yaml
