Examples that demonstrate how deploy a RabbitMQ cluster to Kubernetes, the DIY way

DIY RabbitMQ on Kubernetes

This directory contains examples that demonstrate minimalistic RabbitMQ cluster deployments on Kubernetes with Kubernetes peer discovery. There are several examples:

• An extensive one that targets the Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), originally contributed by Feroz Jilla
• A basic one that targets Minikube
• Another basic one that targets Kind, originally contributed by Gabriele Santomaggio

For a more comprehensive open source RabbitMQ on Kubernetes deployment solution, see RabbitMQ Cluster Operator for Kubernetes. The Operator is developed on GitHub and contains its own set of examples.

Production (Non-)Suitability

Some values in these example files may or may not be optimal for your deployment. There are many aspects to deploying and running a production-grade cluster on Kubernetes that this example cannot know or make too many assumptions about. Persistent volume configuration is one obvious examples. You are welcome and encouraged to expand the example by adding more files under the examples/{environment} directory.

We assume that the users of this plugin familiarize themselves with the RabbitMQ Peer Discovery guide, RabbitMQ Production Checklist, and the rest of RabbitMQ documentation before going into production.

Having metrics, both of RabbitMQ and applications that use it, is critically important when making informed decisions about production systems.
