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.

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 time-to-live mechanism to clean up old Jobs that have finished execution.

Each object in your cluster has a Name that is unique for that type of resource. Every Kubernetes object also has a UID that is unique across your whole cluster. For example, you can only have one Pod named myapp-1234 within the same namespace, but you can have one Pod and one Deployment that are each named myapp-1234. For non-unique user-provided attributes, Kubernetes provides labels and annotations. Names A client-provided string that refers to an object in a resource URL, such as /api/v1/pods/some-name.

Technology for packaging an application along with its runtime dependencies.

Configure and manage huge pages as a schedulable resource in a cluster.

Production-Grade Container Orchestration

Kubernetes namespaces help different projects, teams, or customers to share a Kubernetes cluster. It does this by providing the following: A scope for Names. A mechanism to attach authorization and policy to a subsection of the cluster. Use of multiple namespaces is optional. This example demonstrates how to use Kubernetes namespaces to subdivide your cluster. Before you begin You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster.

Attribute-based access control (ABAC) defines an access control paradigm whereby access rights are granted to users through the use of policies which combine attributes together. Policy File Format To enable ABAC mode, specify --authorization-policy-file=SOME_FILENAME and --authorization-mode=ABAC on startup. The file format is one JSON object per line. There should be no enclosing list or map, only one map per line. Each line is a "policy object", where each such object is a map with the following properties:
