How to Setup LAMP stack on AWS EKS

EKS: Amazon Elastic Container Server for Kubernetes (EKS) is a managed service that allows us to run Kubernetes Cluster with needing to stand up or maintain own Kubernetes Control Plane.

Step 1- Clone Git repository

We need to clone the git repository, in order to download Apache, PHP, MySQL and PhpMyAdmin yaml file.

Run the following command on the Linux terminal. 

$ git clone https://github.com/amarsingh3d/kubernetes-LAMP.git

Clone output would be like this

Cloning into 'kubernetes-LAMP'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 12, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (12/12), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (7/7), done.
remote: Total 12 (delta 2), reused 12 (delta 2), pack-reused 0
Unpacking objects: 100% (12/12), done.

Once download finish, Change directory

$ cd  kubernetes-LAMP/

Step 2- Create Apache,PHP,MySQL,PhpMyAdmin Deployment, Pod & Service:

Run the command below to create Apache & PHP deployment, pod and Service

$ kubectl create -f Apache_PHP_App.yaml

deployment.extensions/phpdeployment created
service/phpservice created

To Create MySQL Deployment and Service runs following Command.

$  kubectl create -f mysql.yaml

deployment.extensions/mysqldeploy created
service/mysql-service created

Create PhpMyAdmin pod and service.

$  kubectl create -f phpmyadmin.yaml

service/phpmyadmin created
pod/phpmyadmin created

Step-3: Validate created Deployment, Service and pods:

List deployment:

$ kubectl get deploy

NAME             DESIRED   CURRENT   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
mysqldeploy       1             1                1                    1           30m
phpdeployment   1             1                1                    1           26m

List Services:

$ kubectl get svc

**NAME**            **TYPE**           **CLUSTER-IP**       **EXTERNAL-IP**                                                               **PORT(S)**          **AGE**
  kubernetes         ClusterIP         10.100.0.1             <none>                                                                        443/TCP              12d
  mysql-service      NodePort          10.100.133.204         <none>                                                                        3306:30006/TCP       4m
  phpmyadmin         LoadBalancer      10.100.124.42          a923b8ce414c611e9a4580e9bc01181a-1306726413.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com       80:31136/TCP         4m
  phpservice         LoadBalancer      10.100.252.156         a145801e314c711e9878e0a7065e7328-1743249526.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com       80:30080/TCP         25s

Check running pods

$ kubectl get pods -o=wide

**NAME**                             **READY**     **STATUS**    **RESTARTS**   **AGE**       **IP**                **NODE**                              **NOMINATED NODE**
  mysqldeploy-5c9dcc8c55-bhqrj         1/1           Running        0             15m       192.168.183.108   ip-192-168-170-141.ec2.internal                           <none>
  phpdeployment-7fc9485dbf-82tpn       1/1           Running        0             12m       192.168.86.181    ip-192-168-106-201.ec2.internal      <none>
  phpmyadmin                           1/1           Running        0             15m       192.168.167.172   ip-192-168-170-141.ec2.internal      <none>

Step -4: Test Apache, PHP and PhpMyAdmin access

Open browser and access PHPservice  service external IP URL:

http://a145801e314c711e9878e0a7065e7328-1743249526.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/

Check phpinfo

http://a145801e314c711e9878e0a7065e7328-1743249526.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/phpinfo.php

Test PhpMyAdmin login

http://a923b8ce414c611e9a4580e9bc01181a-1306726413.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/

User:          root

Password:  redhat                          // We setup MySQL root password in our Mysql.yaml deployment file.//

We have successfully setup LAMP stack on EKS Kubernetes cluster.

Optional: Once you have done with LAB, you can delete Service and Deployment.

Delete PHP Deployment:

$ kubectl delete deploy/phpdeployment

deployment.extensions "phpdeployment" deleted

Delete MySQL Deployment:

$ kubectl delete deploy/mysqldeploy

deployment.extensions "mysqldeploy" deleted

delete PHP Service

$ kubectl delete svc/phpservice

service "phpservice" deleted

delete MySQL Service

$ kubectl delete svc/mysql-service
service "mysql-service" deleted

Delete PhpMyAdmin Service

$ kubectl delete svc/phpmyadmin

service "phpmyadmin" deleted

Delete PhpMyAdmin pod

$ kubectl delete pod/phpmyadmin
  pod "phpmyadmin" deleted

We have successfully deleted all the deployment, service and pods
