This page shows how to define environment variables for a container in a Kubernetes Pod. Before you begin You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. It is recommended to run this tutorial on a cluster with at least two nodes that are not acting as control plane hosts. If you do not already have a cluster, you can create one by using minikube or you can use one of these Kubernetes playgrounds:

Kubernetes objects can be created, updated, and deleted by using the kubectl command-line tool along with an object configuration file written in YAML or JSON. This document explains how to define and manage objects using configuration files. Before you begin Install kubectl. You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. It is recommended to run this tutorial on a cluster with at least two nodes that are not acting as control plane hosts.

This page shows how to securely inject sensitive data, such as passwords and encryption keys, into Pods. Before you begin You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. It is recommended to run this tutorial on a cluster with at least two nodes that are not acting as control plane hosts. If you do not already have a cluster, you can create one by using minikube or you can use one of these Kubernetes playgrounds:

This page shows how a Pod can use a downwardAPI volume, to expose information about itself to containers running in the Pod. A downwardAPI volume can expose Pod fields and container fields. In Kubernetes, there are two ways to expose Pod and container fields to a running container: Environment variables Volume files, as explained in this task Together, these two ways of exposing Pod and container fields are called the downward API.

Node Problem Detector is a daemon for monitoring and reporting about a node's health. You can run Node Problem Detector as a DaemonSet or as a standalone daemon. Node Problem Detector collects information about node problems from various daemons and reports these conditions to the API server as Node Conditions or as Events. To learn how to install and use Node Problem Detector, see Node Problem Detector project documentation.

Collection of Pod & Container metrics via the CRI.
