Ques:-
DevOps team want to deploy a static website on Kubernetes cluster. They are going to use Nginx, phpfpm and MySQL for the database. The team had already gathered the requirements and now they want to make this website live. Below you can find more details:
Create some secrets for MySQL.
Create a secret named mysql-root-pass with key/value pairs as below:
name: password
value: R00t
Create a secret named mysql-user-pass with key/value pairs as below:
name: username
value: kodekloud_sam
name: password
value: Rc5C9EyvbU
Create a secret named mysql-db-url with key/value pairs as below:
name: database
value: kodekloud_db5
Create a secret named mysql-host with key/value pairs as below:
name: host
value: mysql-service
Create a config map php-config for php.ini with variables_order = "EGPCS" data.
Create a deployment named lemp-wp.
Create two containers under it. First container must be nginx-php-container using image webdevops/php-nginx:alpine-3-php7 and second container must be mysql-container from image mysql:5.6. Mount php-config configmap in nginx container at /opt/docker/etc/php/php.ini location.
5) Add some environment variables for both containers:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD, MYSQL_DATABASE, MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASSWORD and MYSQL_HOST. Take their values from the secrets you created. Please make sure to use env field (do not use envFrom) to define the name-value pair of environment variables.
6) Create a node port type service lemp-service to expose the web application, nodePort must be 30008.
7) Create a service for mysql named mysql-service and its port must be 3306.
We already have a /tmp/index.php file on jump_host server.
Copy this file into the nginx container under document root i.e /app and replace the dummy values for mysql related variables with the environment variables you have set for mysql related parameters. Please make sure you do not hard code the mysql related details in this file, you must use the environment variables to fetch those values.
Ans:-
Here is your generated Kubernetes YAML manifest for deploying the LEMP stack with:
- Secrets for MySQL credentials
- A
php-config ConfigMap
- A
lemp-wp Deployment with two containers (Nginx+PHP and MySQL)
- Environment variables sourced from secrets
- Services for both the web app and MySQL

Manually modify index.php on your jump host:
Replace hardcoded MySQL values with environment variable references like this:
raj@jumphost ~$ cd /tmp
raj@jumphost /tmp$ cat index2.php
<?php
$dbname = getenv("MYSQL_DATABASE");
$dbuser = getenv("MYSQL_USER");
$dbpass = getenv("MYSQL_PASSWORD");
$dbhost = getenv("MYSQL_HOST");
$connect = mysqli_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname);
if (!$connect) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
$test_query = "SHOW TABLES FROM $dbname";
$result = mysqli_query($connect, $test_query);
if (!$result) {
die("Query failed: " . mysqli_error($connect));
}
echo "Connected successfully and query executed.";
?>
Copy the file into the running container:
raj@jumphost /tmp$ kubectl cp index2.php lemp-wp-7c544f45f5-zdwbs:/app -c nginx-php-container
raj@jumphost /tmp$ kubectl exec -it lemp-wp-7c544f45f5-zdwbs -c nginx-php-container -- bash
bash-4.3# cd /app
bash-4.3# pwd
/app
bash-4.3# ls
index2.php
bash-4.3# mv index2.php index.php
bash-4.3# ls
index.php
