The cloud-controller-manager is a Kubernetes control plane component that embeds cloud-specific control logic. The cloud controller manager lets you link your cluster into your cloud provider's API, and separates out the components that interact with that cloud platform from components that only interact with your cluster. By decoupling the interoperability logic between Kubernetes and the underlying cloud infrastructure, the cloud-controller-manager component enables cloud providers to release features at a different pace compared to the main Kubernetes project.

Static Pods are managed directly by the kubelet daemon on a specific node, without the API server observing them. Unlike Pods that are managed by the control plane (for example, a Deployment); instead, the kubelet watches each static Pod (and restarts it if it fails). Static Pods are always bound to one Kubelet on a specific node. The kubelet automatically tries to create a mirror Pod on the Kubernetes API server for each static Pod.

This page provides hints on diagnosing DNS problems. 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:

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.26 [stable] Starting from Kubernetes v1.20, the kubelet can dynamically retrieve credentials for a container image registry using exec plugins. The kubelet and the exec plugin communicate through stdio (stdin, stdout, and stderr) using Kubernetes versioned APIs. These plugins allow the kubelet to request credentials for a container registry dynamically as opposed to storing static credentials on disk. For example, the plugin may talk to a local metadata server to retrieve short-lived credentials for an image that is being pulled by the kubelet.

This tutorial provides an introduction to managing applications with StatefulSets. It demonstrates how to create, delete, scale, and update the Pods of StatefulSets. Before you begin Before you begin this tutorial, you should familiarize yourself with the following Kubernetes concepts: Pods Cluster DNS Headless Services PersistentVolumes PersistentVolume Provisioning The kubectl command line tool You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster.

Extend kubectl by creating and installing kubectl plugins.

Synopsis Describe fields and structure of various resources. This command describes the fields associated with each supported API resource. Fields are identified via a simple JSONPath identifier: <type>.<fieldName>[.<fieldName>] Information about each field is retrieved from the server in OpenAPI format. Use "kubectl api-resources" for a complete list of supported resources. kubectl explain TYPE [--recursive=FALSE|TRUE] [--api-version=api-version-group] [--output=plaintext|plaintext-openapiv2] Examples # Get the documentation of the resource and its fields kubectl explain pods # Get all the fields in the resource kubectl explain pods --recursive # Get the explanation for deployment in supported api versions kubectl explain deployments --api-version=apps/v1 # Get the documentation of a specific field of a resource kubectl explain pods.

Resource Types ExecCredential ExecCredential ExecCredential is used by exec-based plugins to communicate credentials to HTTP transports. FieldDescription apiVersionstringclient.authentication.k8s.io/v1 kindstringExecCredential spec [Required] ExecCredentialSpec Spec holds information passed to the plugin by the transport. status ExecCredentialStatus Status is filled in by the plugin and holds the credentials that the transport should use to contact the API. Cluster Appears in: ExecCredentialSpec Cluster contains information to allow an exec plugin to communicate with the kubernetes cluster being authenticated to.

Synopsis Create a config map based on a file, directory, or specified literal value. A single config map may package one or more key/value pairs. When creating a config map based on a file, the key will default to the basename of the file, and the value will default to the file content. If the basename is an invalid key, you may specify an alternate key. When creating a config map based on a directory, each file whose basename is a valid key in the directory will be packaged into the config map.
