A security context defines privilege and access control settings for a Pod or Container. Security context settings include, but are not limited to: Discretionary Access Control: Permission to access an object, like a file, is based on user ID (UID) and group ID (GID). Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux): Objects are assigned security labels. Running as privileged or unprivileged. Linux Capabilities: Give a process some privileges, but not all the privileges of the root user.

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.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.22 [alpha] This document describes how to run Kubernetes Node components such as kubelet, CRI, OCI, and CNI without root privileges, by using a user namespace. This technique is also known as rootless mode. Note:This document describes how to run Kubernetes Node components (and hence pods) as a non-root user. If you are just looking for how to run a pod as a non-root user, see SecurityContext.

Extend kubectl by creating and installing kubectl plugins.

This page shows how to define dependent 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:

Objectives Perform a rolling update using kubectl. Updating an application Rolling updates allow Deployments' update to take place with zero downtime by incrementally updating Pods instances with new ones. Users expect applications to be available all the time, and developers are expected to deploy new versions of them several times a day. In Kubernetes this is done with rolling updates. A rolling update allows a Deployment update to take place with zero downtime.

This topic discusses multiple ways to interact with clusters. Accessing for the first time with kubectl When accessing the Kubernetes API for the first time, we suggest using the Kubernetes CLI, kubectl. To access a cluster, you need to know the location of the cluster and have credentials to access it. Typically, this is automatically set-up when you work through a Getting started guide, or someone else set up the cluster and provided you with credentials and a location.

This page shows you how to run a single-instance stateful application in Kubernetes using a PersistentVolume and a Deployment. The application is MySQL. Objectives Create a PersistentVolume referencing a disk in your environment. Create a MySQL Deployment. Expose MySQL to other pods in the cluster at a known DNS name. Before you begin You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster.

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.
