Overview of Dapr on Kubernetes
Overview of how to get Dapr running on your Kubernetes cluster
Dapr can be configured to run on any Kubernetes cluster. In Kubernetes the dapr-sidecar-injector
and dapr-operator
services provide first class integration to launch Dapr as a sidecar container in the same pod as the service container and provide notifications of Dapr component updates provisioned into the cluster. Additionally, the dapr-sidecar-injector
also injects the environment variables DAPR_HTTP_PORT
and DAPR_GRPC_PORT
into all the containers in the pod to enable user defined applications to easily communicate with Dapr without hardcoding Dapr port values.
The dapr-sentry
service is a certificate authority that enables mutual TLS between Dapr sidecar instances for secure data encryption. For more information on the Sentry
service read the security overview
Deploying and running a Dapr enabled application into your Kubernetes cluster is a simple as adding a few annotations to the deployment schemes. To give your service an id
and port
known to Dapr, turn on tracing through configuration and launch the Dapr sidecar container, you annotate your Kubernetes deployment like this.
annotations:
dapr.io/enabled: "true"
dapr.io/app-id: "nodeapp"
dapr.io/app-port: "3000"
dapr.io/config: "tracing"
You can see some examples here in the Kubernetes getting started sample.
