This section introduces how to create stateful or stateless services.
Prerequisites
You should join a project and have the Application Workload Management permission within the project. For more information, refer to “Project Members” and “Project Roles”.
Steps
Please refer to Parameter Description for configuring the parameters of a service.
Log in to the KubeSphere web console with a user who has the Application Workload Management permission, and access your project.
Click Application Workloads > Services in the left navigation pane.
Click Create on the page.
In the Create Service dialog, choose Stateful Service or Stateless Service based on your requirements.
Note Stateful Service: The internal access mode of the service is Headless, and the backend workload is Statefulset.
Stateless Service: The internal access mode of the service is VirtualIP, and the backend workload is Deployment.
On the Basic Information tab, configure the basic information for the service, and then click Next.
On the Pod Settings tab, configure the replica count, containers, update strategy, security context, scheduling rules, and metadata for the pods managed by the backend workload of the service, then click Next.
On the Storage Settings tab, mount volumes for the containers managed by the backend workload of the service, then click Next.
On the Advanced Settings tab, specify IP pools and nodes for the pods managed by the backend workload of the service, set the external access mode, session persistence settings, and metadata for the service, then click Create.
Once the service is created, it will be displayed in the list of services.
Parameter Description
The following explains how to configure parameters for stateful and stateless services.
