I have historically used a lot of manual chaining to get a CI pipeline in place for microservice development so am excited to try Fabric8 as it seems that it will make life a lot easier. Running into some early issues though.
I did manage to get Fabric8 running locally but want to get things running on AWS so I can present a more real world flow to stakeholders. Following the notes on this page Fabric8 on AWS I was able to get a 3 server cluster running using Stackpoint. But, I cannot connect to that cluster to be able to start administering the services. The page references this link (http://fabric8.default.replace.me.io) but it is not working for me. Tried hitting each of the AWS instances by public IP but that failed also. What would be my next steps here?
yeah the getting started guides don't really explain this in great deal. There's a similar issue on the fabric8 issue tracker that we've tried to help answer how to access the console
TL;DR using the AWS loadbalancer can add expense so we deploy an NGINX reverse proxy so you can set up a wildcard DNS. We use and recommend cloudflare for that as its free for this type of use and fast to setup.
We also created a blog to explain the different options how to access apps on kubernetes
Hope that helps!
