Kubernetes Deployment — AI Travel Planner

Deploys the full project to the AET cluster using Helm.

Prerequisites

  • kubectl configured with access to the AET cluster (~/.kube/config)
  • helm v3 installed
  • The repository cloned locally

Verify the deployment (one command, no setup needed)

The app is already continuously deployed by the CD pipeline (.github/workflows/cd.yml) on every push to main — there is a live coffeelovers Helm release on the cluster right now, with its secrets already stored there from that pipeline.

To re-run the deployment yourself (e.g. to confirm it's reproducible) without needing any passwords, from the repository root:

helm upgrade coffeelovers ./infra/helm/coffeelovers \
  --namespace team-coffeelovers-devops26 \
  --reuse-values

--reuse-values tells Helm to reuse the secrets/config already stored on the cluster from the last deploy — no --set-string flags, no env vars, nothing to type in. This is the command to use for grading/verification.

First-time install (new cluster only)

If you're setting this up on a brand new cluster for the first time (no existing release), the secrets need to be supplied once. From infra/helm/:

POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<postgres-password> \
JWT_SECRET=<jwt-secret> \
LOGOS_API_KEY=<logos-api-key> \
./deploy.sh

This deploys the entire stack: PostgreSQL, auth-service, trip-service, genai-service, React client, and Ingress.

Equivalent manual command

If you'd rather run Helm directly instead of the script, from the repository root:

helm upgrade --install coffeelovers ./infra/helm/coffeelovers \
  --namespace team-coffeelovers-devops26 \
  --create-namespace \
  --set-string secrets.postgresPassword="<postgres-password>" \
  --set-string secrets.jwtSecret="<jwt-secret>" \
  --set-string secrets.logosApiKey="<logos-api-key>" \
  --wait --timeout 5m

Verify

kubectl get pods -n team-coffeelovers-devops26

All pods should show Running. The app is then available at:

https://team-coffeelovers-devops26.stud.k8s.aet.cit.tum.de

Uninstall

helm uninstall coffeelovers --namespace team-coffeelovers-devops26

Notes

  • Secrets are never committed to the repository. They're supplied once (via GitHub Actions secrets, automatically) and persist on the cluster from then on — that's what makes the --reuse-values command above possible.
  • deploy.sh and the manual first-time-install command are for setting up a new cluster only, or local manual testing. The actual project workflow is: feature branch → PR into develop → PR into main. The CD pipeline deploys automatically on every push to main — that's the deployment path used day-to-day.
  • Image tags are pinned to the Git commit SHA in CI/CD. For a manual deploy, latest is used by default (set in values.yaml).
