To Build the App (May take a few minutes depending on your internet connection)

cd Kata-Project && cd kubernetes && chmod +x build-app.sh && bash build-app.sh build DOCKER_HUB_USERNAME

To Deploy the App on Kubernetes

chmod +x apply-yaml.sh && bash apply-yaml.sh DOCKER_HUB_USERNAME

To Access the UI

Go to http://localhost:30101/

To Deploy the App on GKE

1. Once downloaded locally and built (see section above "To Build the App") complete the following
2. Create a cluster on GKE
3. Upload the kubernetes folder to your cluster
4. Run the following command: cd kubernetes && chmod +x apply-yaml.sh && bash apply-yaml.sh DOCKER_HUB_USERNAME
5. Open a hole in the firewall: gcloud compute firewall-rules create flight-app-node-port --allow tcp:30101
6. Get an External-IP of one of the nodes in your cluster: kubectl get nodes -o wide
7. Finally, access the UI at http://{External-IP}:30101/
