Package and Deploy Applications on Apache Dubbo

Traditional deployment architecture based on Zookeeper and Nacos for deploying Dubbo applications in a virtual machine environment

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The following diagram illustrates a typical Dubbo microservice deployment architecture using Nacos and Zookeeper as the registration center.

Install Nacos

Please refer to the following documentation for how to install Nacos locally.

Deploy Application

We will continue to use the project in Quick Start as an example to demonstrate the detailed steps for application packaging and deployment.

Clone the sample project locally:

$ git clone -b master --depth 1 https://github.com/apache/dubbo-samples

Switch to the sample directory:

Deploying Dubbo Applications to Kubernetes Environments

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This model is not much different from traditional non-Kubernetes deployments. As shown in the picture below, Nacos or Zookeeper is still used as the registry, but Kubernetes is used as the underlying platform for application lifecycle scheduling.

Install Nacos

In Kubernetes mode, we recommend using dubboctl to quickly install components like Nacos, dubbo-control-plane, prometheus, etc.:

$ dubboctl install --profile=demo

Tip

Please refer to dubboctl for more details.
You can also check out the official Nacos installation plan for Kubernetes clusters.

Deploy Application

We still take the project in Quick Start as an example to demonstrate the specific steps for packaging and deploying the application.

Deploying Dubbo Applications to a Virtual Machine Environment

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This model maps Dubbo Service to the concept of Kubernetes Service, eliminating the need for traditional registries like Nacos, with the Kubernetes APISERVER taking on the role of the registry.

Install Control Plane

In this model, we need to install dubbo-control-plane

Should it work with istio (providing xds push capability), or should dubbo-control-plane implement the xds server itself?

dubboctl manifests install --profile=control-plane

Deploy Application

Define YAML

Please refer to dubbo-samples for examples.
