Deploying to K8s

[conor-nsurely]

Hey guys, just found this project.

Are there any template k8s deployments/config for Valhalla? Had a look around online but can't find anything.

Thanks!

Not that I’m aware of, sorry. But feel free to post back anything you come up with yourself in the discussions section:)

It is by far perfect, but this is the deployment I am using. On creation, each pod will download pre-generated tiles and the valhalla config json file (this is only feasible if your area is not too large). As I understood, the valhalla container can use multiple cpu cores of a node, so I found that setting the cpu request to 0.7 makes sure only one pod runs per node.

There are most likely better ways to do this, but maybe this can be a starting point, I am also curious how this can be improved 👍

I hadn't. This deployment was made before the operator was released. But I will see if I can get that to work with Digital Ocean. The operator might be a better starting point :)
