    Container Compute Service:Deploy deployment applications using Nginx images

    Last Updated:Dec 11, 2024

    This topic describes how to deploy a deployment application by using Nginx images. You can create an application by pulling Nginx images, creating services, and setting up network routing through the Alibaba Cloud Container Compute Service (ACS) console.

    Prerequisites

    An ACS cluster has been created, in which no Ingress with the domain name foo.bar.com exists. For more information, see Create an ACS cluster.

    Step 1: Create an NGINX application

    1. Log on to the ACS console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.

    2. On the Clusters page, find the cluster that you want to manage and click its ID. In the left-side navigation pane of the cluster details page, choose Workloads > Deployments.

    3. On the Deployments page, click Create from Image in the upper left corner. The following table shows the key parameters (you can use default values for the others):

      2. Add a Port Mapping with the following details:

        • Name: http

        • Service Port: 80

        • Container Port: 80

      3. Click OK.

      • Service Name: nginxtest-svc

      Create an Ingress (Optional):

      1. Click Create.

      2. In the Rules section, set the Domain to foo.bar.com and select the created service for Name in the Services section.

      3. Set the Ingress Class to the name of the created ALB Server Load Balancer. For more information, see Get started with ALB Ingresses.

      4. Click Create.

      • Domain Name: foo.bar.com

      • Name: nginxtest-svc

    Step 2: Access the test website

    Configure the Hosts file on your computer

    1. Log on to the ACS console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.

    2. On the Clusters page, find the cluster that you want to manage and click its ID. In the left-side navigation pane of the cluster details page, choose Workloads > Deployments.

    3. On the Deployments page, click the application name created in Step 1.

    4. Click the Access Method tab and note the External Endpoint of the service.

    5. To bind a domain to a specific IP address, edit the Hosts file on your computer by adding the entry in the following format: IP address + space + domain name, such as 39.104.XX.XX foo.bar.com. Then, you can access the service using the domain name.

      The method for editing the Hosts file varies by operating system:

      Windows (requires administrator permissions)

      1. Open My Computer, navigate to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc in the address bar, and locate the Hosts file.

      2. Edit the Hosts file with Notepad, append 39.104.XX.XX foo.bar.com to the end, and save the changes.

      Mac

      1. From the menu bar, select Go > Go to Folder, enter /private/etc, and press Enter.

      2. Find the Hosts file and copy it to the desktop for editing.

      3. Right-click the Hosts file on the desktop, select Open With, and choose TextEdit.

      4. Add 39.104.XX.XX foo.bar.com to the end of the Hosts file. Save the file and replace the original Hosts file in the /private/etc folder with the edited version.

    6. Access the website using a browser.

      Launch the browser, clear the cache or use incognito mode, and navigate to http://foo.bar.com. The following image is an example (actual results may vary based on the browser display):验证.png

    Use ALB Server Load Balancer domain name resolution

    1. On the Deployments page, click the application name created in Step 1.

    2. Click the Access Method tab and note the Ingress Endpoint.

    3. Follow the following steps to create a CNAME record:

      Important

      Make sure your host domain name has passed TXT record verification.

      1. Log on to the Domain Name Resolution Console.

      2. On the Domain Name Resolution page, click Add Domain Name.

      3. In the Add Domain Name dialog, enter your host domain name and click OK.

      4. In the Actions column of the target domain name, click DNS Settings.

      5. On the DNS Settings page, click Add DNS Record.

      6. In the Add DNS Record page, configure the following items to complete the CNAME resolution setup, and click OK.

        Configuration Item

        Description

        Record Type

        Choose CNAME from the drop-down menu.

        Host Record

        The prefix of your domain name, such as www.

        Resolution Request Source

        Select the default option.

        Record Value

        Enter the CNAME address corresponding to your domain name, which is the DNS name you recorded earlier.

        TTL

        The time-to-live (TTL) for the DNS record to be cached on the DNS server. Use the default value unless otherwise required.

    4. Access the website using a browser.

    Launch the browser, clear the cache or use incognito mode, and navigate to http://foo.bar.com . The following image is an example (actual results may vary based on the browser display):验证.png

    Important

    If you encounter a critical message such as "The website cannot be accessed because it has not been registered according to the relevant laws of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT)," please check whether the load balancer (LB) type configured for the front-end of the Ingress is set to expose a public IP address. If it is a public IP, according to MIIT requirements, exposing a public domain name service on a cloud platform must be accompanied by the corresponding domain registration. The domain must be reviewed and approved before it can be properly resolved and accessed.
