Now create the certs that will match the DNS name used by the clients to connect, in this case traffic is within Kubernetes so we are using the name nats which is backed up by a headless service (here is an example of sample deployment)
Now let's create an example NATS cluster with the operator:
apiVersion: "nats.io/v1alpha2"
kind: "NatsCluster"
metadata:
name: "nats"
spec:
# Number of nodes in the cluster
size: 3
version: "2.1.4"
tls:
# Certificates to secure the NATS client connections:
serverSecret: "nats-server-tls"
# Name of the CA in serverSecret
serverSecretCAFileName: "ca.crt"
# Name of the key in serverSecret
serverSecretKeyFileName: "tls.key"
# Name of the certificate in serverSecret
serverSecretCertFileName: "tls.crt"
# Certificates to secure the routes.
routesSecret: "nats-routes-tls"
# Name of the CA in routesSecret
routesSecretCAFileName: "ca.crt"
# Name of the key in routesSecret
routesSecretKeyFileName: "tls.key"
# Name of the certificate in routesSecret
routesSecretCertFileName: "tls.crt"
Confirm that the pods were deployed:
kubectl get pods -o wide
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE NOMINATED NODE
nats-1 1/1 Running 0 4s 172.17.0.8 minikube <none>
nats-2 1/1 Running 0 3s 172.17.0.9 minikube <none>
nats-3 1/1 Running 0 2s 172.17.0.10 minikube <none>
Follow the logs:
kubectl logs nats-1
