Hosting a Milvus Database

[KellenMossner]

I need to host a milvus database preferably on GCP and a standalone database. We are a small team and need to individually access the database remotely. I have tried setting up a standalone milvus database on Google Kubernetes Engine with LoadBalancer but I am never able to connect to the external IP. Please can someone assist me with this or give me a guide to follow, I am still very new to Milvus.

Did you follow this doc? https://milvus.io/docs/gcp.md#Deploy-a-Milvus-Cluster-on-GKE

Yes, followed it exactly but cannot connect to the external ip and port

@KellenMossner Here's the procedures that help to resolve the connection issue:

1. Try to use kubectl port-forward svc/<milvus-svc> 19530:19530 and access the localhost:19530 to verify whether the deployment of milvus has been successfully setup.
2. If step 1 is success, we'd check that the external ip of the LoadBalancer milvus svc can be accessed, use nc to check nc -zv <milvus-svc-lb-ip> 19530; if step 1 is failed, check whether all the pods are running, upload all the logs using the script: https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/blob/master/deployments/export-log/export-milvus-log.sh
3. if step 2 is failed, try to check the firewall or network policies
