Production-Grade Container Orchestration

Production-Grade Container Orchestration

Synopsis Specify compute resource requirements (CPU, memory) for any resource that defines a pod template. If a pod is successfully scheduled, it is guaranteed the amount of resource requested, but may burst up to its specified limits. For each compute resource, if a limit is specified and a request is omitted, the request will default to the limit. Possible resources include (case insensitive): Use "kubectl api-resources" for a complete list of supported resources.

Requirements: You need a machine that is running Linux or macOS. You need to have these tools installed: Python v3.7.x+ Git Golang version 1.13+ Pip used to install PyYAML PyYAML v5.1.2 make gcc compiler/linker Docker (Required only for kubectl command reference) Your PATH environment variable must include the required build tools, such as the Go binary and python. You need to know how to create a pull request to a GitHub repository.

Kubernetes objects are persistent entities in the Kubernetes system. Kubernetes uses these entities to represent the state of your cluster. Learn about the Kubernetes object model and how to work with these objects.

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

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.

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

Kubernetes requires PKI certificates for authentication over TLS. If you install Kubernetes with kubeadm, the certificates that your cluster requires are automatically generated. You can also generate your own certificates -- for example, to keep your private keys more secure by not storing them on the API server. This page explains the certificates that your cluster requires. How certificates are used by your cluster Kubernetes requires PKI for the following operations:

Kubernetes is a portable, extensible, open source platform for managing containerized workloads and services that facilitate both declarative configuration and automation. It has a large, rapidly growing ecosystem. Kubernetes services, support, and tools are widely available.
