# Deploy React app to kubernetes on AWS EC2

* First we need to setup and configure minikube on AWS EC2 instance.
    
* Checkout this for setup minikube on AWS EC2 instance: [https://blog.kubekode.org/setup-minikube-on-aws-ec2-instance](https://blog.kubekode.org/setup-minikube-on-aws-ec2-instance)
    
* We already have a docker image for React todo list application on docker hub: [https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/kubekode/react-todo-list-app/general](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/kubekode/react-todo-list-app/general)
    
* Deploy a pod with the react todolist app image
    
* ```bash
    kubectl run todolistapp --image=kubekode/react-todo-list-app
    ```
    
* Deploy a NodePort service for this pod.
    
* ```bash
    kubectl expose pod todolistapp --type=NodePort --port=80 --name=todolistapp-service
    ```
    
* Check service is working or not
    
* ```bash
    minikube service todolistapp-service --url
    ```
    
* Request the URL using curl to check it's working or not.
    
* ```bash
    curl <URL>
    ```
    
* Now We want to access our application from outside.
    
* Make sure you've enabled port 3000 for ingress traffic in AWS Instance security group.
    
* Now Just use kubectl port-forward to forward the traffic from 3000 port to 80 port on our pod.
    
* ```bash
    kubectl port-forward svc/todolistapp-service 3000:80 --address 0.0.0.0 &
    ```
    

Now just paste your instance public IP in your browser and boom your application is deployed.
