Development

Prerequisites

Access to a Kubernetes Cluster

First of all, you will need access to a Kubernetes cluster. The easiest way to start is minikube.

• Virtualbox - hypervisor to run a kubernetes cluster
• Minikube - for kubernetes cluster creation on local machine
• Kubectl - to interact with kubernetes cluster

Tools to build and test Redis Operator

Apart from kubernetes cluster, there are some tools which are needed to build and test redis operator.

Required Tools:-

• Git
• Go
• Docker
• Operator SDK
• Make

Build Locally

To achieve this, execute this command:-

make build

Build Operator Image

Redis operator gets packaged as a container image for running on Kubernetes cluster. These instructions will guide you to build image.

make build-image

Testing

If you want to play it on Kubernetes. You can use minikube.

# Start minikube
minikube start --vm-driver virtualbox

# Deploy the image on minikube
helm upgrade redis-cluster ./helm/redis-setup -f ./helm/redis-setup/cluster-values.yaml \
  --set setupMode="cluster" --set cluster.size=3 \
  --install --namespace redis-operator

Run Tests

make test
