Connect to the IrisCluster

Connect to the IrisCluster

As previously described, the serviceTemplate field creates one or more Kubernetes servicesOpens in a new tab to expose the IrisCluster to the network through external IP addresses. For example, the service for data node 1 (or the data server or the standalone instance), which is always created, is used to connect to the superserver and web server ports (1972 and 52773, respectively) of the InterSystems IRIS instance running on that node for data ingestion and other purposes.

For example, to load the cluster’s Management PortalOpens in a new tab in your browser, get the data node 1 IP address by listing the services representing the IrisCluster, as follows:

$ kubectl get svc 
NAME                       TYPE          CLUSTER-IP   EXTERNAL-IP     PORT(S)                         AGE
my-IrisCluster             LoadBalancer  10.35.245.6  35.196.145.234  1972:30011/TCP,52773:31887/TCP  46m
my-IrisCluster-Webgateway  LoadBalancer  10.35.245.9  35.196.145.177  52773:31887/TCP                 46m

Next, load the following URL in your browser, substituting the listed external IP address for the one shown here:

http://35.196.145.234:52773/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp

Other services and external IP addresses created, if applicable, represent the first pod in the first stateful set managing Web Gateway pods, SAM pods, and IAM pods, if these nodes are included in the IrisCluster. The URLs (including ports) for these connections are as follows:
