# Integration with Liqo | ||
|
||
You can provide powerful global multi-cluster capabilities by combining k8gb and [liqo.io](https://docs.liqo.io). | ||
|
||
In this tutorial, you will learn how to leverage Liqo and K8GB to deploy and expose a multi-cluster application through a *global ingress*. | ||
More in detail, this enables improved load balancing and distribution of the external traffic towards the application replicated across multiple clusters. | ||
|
||
Liqo will globally schedule workloads and provide east-west connectivity, while K8GB will globally balance user traffic providing north-south connectivity over the multi-cluster and/or multi-provider environment. | ||
|
||
The figure below outlines the high-level scenario, with a client consuming an application from either cluster 1 (e.g., located in EU) or cluster 2 (e.g., located in the US), based on the endpoint returned by the DNS server. | ||
|
||
 | ||
|
||
## Setup Environment | ||
|
||
Checkout the [liqo docs](https://docs.liqo.io/en/stable/examples/global-ingress.html) to get the environment setup script and to get more details. | ||
It creates the k3d clusters required for the K8GB playground as described in [Local playground for testing and development](local.md) and installs Liqo over them. | ||
|
||
## Peer the clusters | ||
|
||
To proceed, first generate a new *peer command* from the *gslb-us* cluster: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
PEER_US=$(liqoctl generate peer-command --only-command --kubeconfig $KUBECONFIG_US) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
And then, run the generated command from the *gslb-eu* cluster: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
echo "$PEER_US" | bash | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Deploy an application | ||
|
||
First, create a hosting namespace in the *gslb-eu* cluster, and offload it to the remote cluster through Liqo. | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
kubectl create namespace podinfo | ||
liqoctl offload namespace podinfo --namespace-mapping-strategy EnforceSameName | ||
``` | ||
|
||
At this point, it is possible to deploy the *podinfo* helm chart in the `podinfo` namespace: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
helm upgrade --install podinfo --namespace podinfo podinfo/podinfo \ | ||
-f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liqotech/liqo/master/examples/global-ingress/manifests/values/podinfo.yaml | ||
``` | ||
|
||
This chart creates a *Deployment* with a *custom affinity* to ensure that the two frontend replicas are scheduled on different nodes and clusters: | ||
|
||
```yaml | ||
affinity: | ||
nodeAffinity: | ||
requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution: | ||
nodeSelectorTerms: | ||
- matchExpressions: | ||
- key: node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane | ||
operator: DoesNotExist | ||
podAntiAffinity: | ||
requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution: | ||
- labelSelector: | ||
matchExpressions: | ||
- key: app.kubernetes.io/name | ||
operator: In | ||
values: | ||
- podinfo | ||
topologyKey: "kubernetes.io/hostname" | ||
``` | ||
Additionally, it creates an *Ingress* resource configured with the `k8gb.io/strategy: roundRobin` annotation. | ||
This annotation will [instruct the K8GB Global Ingress Controller](https://www.k8gb.io/docs/ingress_annotations.html) to distribute the traffic across the different clusters. | ||
|
||
## Check service reachability | ||
|
||
Since *podinfo* is an HTTP service, you can contact it using the *curl* command. | ||
Use the `-v` option to understand which of the nodes is being targeted. | ||
|
||
You need to use the DNS server in order to resolve the hostname to the IP address of the service. | ||
To this end, create a pod in one of the clusters (it does not matter which one) overriding its DNS configuration. | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
HOSTNAME="liqo.cloud.example.com" | ||
K8GB_COREDNS_IP=$(kubectl get svc k8gb-coredns -n k8gb -o custom-columns='IP:spec.clusterIP' --no-headers) | ||
kubectl run -it --rm curl --restart=Never --image=curlimages/curl:7.82.0 --command \ | ||
--overrides "{\"spec\":{\"dnsConfig\":{\"nameservers\":[\"${K8GB_COREDNS_IP}\"]},\"dnsPolicy\":\"None\"}}" \ | ||
-- curl $HOSTNAME -v | ||
``` |
