This is the second part of the Tezos-on-GKE project.
This is a set of terraform and kubernetes code to deply a tezos node in k8s that performs the following operations:
- monitors a baking operation with Tezos Network Monitor
- sends payouts from a hot wallet with Backerei. The key is stored in a Kubernetes secret.
- deploys a baking website
In addition to internal monitoring of the main baking cluster, it is recommended to monitor the baking operations from a node that is completely separated from the baking infrastructure. A good option is to set up a completely separate Kubernetes cluster, and run Tezos-network-monitor on it, this way it is administratively separated from the main baking node.
Written in Haskell and maintained by Cryptium labs, Backerei performs payout operations at every cycle, with no minimum amount needed. It assumes bakers 100% uptime so payouts are insured for liveness. Cryptium is one of the main bakers so the software is guaranteed to remain up-to-date with the Tezos protocol.
The kubernetes infrastructure is optionally configured to deploy a static Jekyll website in a GCP storage bucket.
This allows you to build your baker's website where delegates can check their contribution and payouts.
You can pass a website variable to terraform to make that happen.
You will have to configure your DNS registrar to point to the Google nameservers.
