Production-Grade Container Orchestration

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes 1.34 [beta] A Kubernetes kuberc configuration file allows you to define preferences for kubectl, such as default options and command aliases. Unlike the kubeconfig file, a kuberc configuration file does not contain cluster details, usernames or passwords. The default location of this configuration file is $HOME/.kube/kuberc. To provide kubectl with a path to a custom kuberc file, use the --kuberc command line option, or set the KUBERC environment variable.

Production-Grade Container Orchestration

This page shows how to contribute to the upstream kubernetes/kubernetes project. You can fix bugs found in the Kubernetes API documentation or the content of the Kubernetes components such as kubeadm, kube-apiserver, and kube-controller-manager. If you instead want to regenerate the reference documentation for the Kubernetes API or the kube-* components from the upstream code, see the following instructions: Generating Reference Documentation for the Kubernetes API Generating Reference Documentation for the Kubernetes Components and Tools Before you begin You need to have these tools installed:

This page shows you how to configure a Pod to use a PersistentVolumeClaim for storage. Here is a summary of the process: You, as cluster administrator, create a PersistentVolume backed by physical storage. You do not associate the volume with any Pod. You, now taking the role of a developer / cluster user, create a PersistentVolumeClaim that is automatically bound to a suitable PersistentVolume. You create a Pod that uses the above PersistentVolumeClaim for storage.

Debugging common containerized application issues.

This page shows how to write and read a Container termination message. Termination messages provide a way for containers to write information about fatal events to a location where it can be easily retrieved and surfaced by tools like dashboards and monitoring software. In most cases, information that you put in a termination message should also be written to the general Kubernetes logs. Before you begin You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster.

Use kubectl patch to update Kubernetes API objects in place. Do a strategic merge patch or a JSON merge patch.

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.
