A Deployment manages a set of Pods to run an application workload, usually one that doesn't maintain state.

Make your HTTP (or HTTPS) network service available using a protocol-aware configuration mechanism, that understands web concepts like URIs, hostnames, paths, and more. The Ingress concept lets you map traffic to different backends based on rules you define via the Kubernetes API.

Jobs represent one-off tasks that run to completion and then stop.

This page provides an overview of available configuration options and best practices for cluster multi-tenancy. Sharing clusters saves costs and simplifies administration. However, sharing clusters also presents challenges such as security, fairness, and managing noisy neighbors. Clusters can be shared in many ways. In some cases, different applications may run in the same cluster. In other cases, multiple instances of the same application may run in the same cluster, one for each end user.

You've deployed your application and exposed it via a Service. Now what? Kubernetes provides a number of tools to help you manage your application deployment, including scaling and updating. Organizing resource configurations Many applications require multiple resources to be created, such as a Deployment along with a Service. Management of multiple resources can be simplified by grouping them together in the same file (separated by --- in YAML). For example:

This page describes the lifecycle of a Pod. Pods follow a defined lifecycle, starting in the Pending phase, moving through Running if at least one of its primary containers starts OK, and then through either the Succeeded or Failed phases depending on whether any container in the Pod terminated in failure. Like individual application containers, Pods are considered to be relatively ephemeral (rather than durable) entities. Pods are created, assigned a unique ID (UID), and scheduled to run on nodes where they remain until termination (according to restart policy) or deletion.

A container image represents binary data that encapsulates an application and all its software dependencies. Container images are executable software bundles that can run standalone and that make very well-defined assumptions about their runtime environment. You typically create a container image of your application and push it to a registry before referring to it in a Pod. This page provides an outline of the container image concept. Note:If you are looking for the container images for a Kubernetes release (such as v1.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.34 [stable](enabled by default) This page describes dynamic resource allocation (DRA) in Kubernetes. About DRA DRA is a Kubernetes feature that lets you request and share resources among Pods. These resources are often attached devices like hardware accelerators. With DRA, device drivers and cluster admins define device classes that are available to claim in workloads. Kubernetes allocates matching devices to specific claims and places the corresponding Pods on nodes that can access the allocated devices.

Many applications rely on configuration which is used during either application initialization or runtime. Most times, there is a requirement to adjust values assigned to configuration parameters. ConfigMaps are a Kubernetes mechanism that let you inject configuration data into application pods. The ConfigMap concept allow you to decouple configuration artifacts from image content to keep containerized applications portable. For example, you can download and run the same container image to spin up containers for the purposes of local development, system test, or running a live end-user workload.
