Deployment

The engine is container based and it gives you various options on how to deploy the service on your infrastructure. We provide some examples here.

Kubernetes

The following can serve as example on how to deploy an engine to a Kubernetes cluster. In this example we are using a service of type NodePort while you in a production-like scenario probably use ingress with an ingress controller or a load balancer.

Create a deployment of a FAST engine with the demo plugin in use.

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: fast-engine-deployment
  labels:
    app: fast-engine
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: fast-engine
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: fast-engine
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: fast-engine
        image: eyevinntechnology/fast-engine:v1.6.0
        env:
        - name: DEMO_NUM_CHANNELS
          value: "10"
        - name: OPTS_USE_DEMUXED_AUDIO
          value: "false"
        - name: OPTS_USE_VTT_SUBTITLES
          value: "false"
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8000

Create a service to access the deployed pods.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: fast-engine-service
spec:
  type: NodePort
  selector:
    app: fast-engine
  ports:
  - protocol: TCP
    port: 8000
    targetPort: 8000
    nodePort: 30000

Then you can access the engine and playback a channel on for example http://localhost:30000/channels/1/master.m3u8
