To scale an application and provide a reliable service, you need to understand how the application behaves when it is deployed. You can examine application performance in a Kubernetes cluster by examining the containers, pods, services, and the characteristics of the overall cluster. Kubernetes provides detailed information about an application's resource usage at each of these levels. This information allows you to evaluate your application's performance and where bottlenecks can be removed to improve overall performance.

A ServiceAccount provides an identity for processes that run in a Pod. A process inside a Pod can use the identity of its associated service account to authenticate to the cluster's API server. For an introduction to service accounts, read configure service accounts. This task guide explains some of the concepts behind ServiceAccounts. The guide also explains how to obtain or revoke tokens that represent ServiceAccounts, and how to (optionally) bind a ServiceAccount's validity to the lifetime of an API object.

This page shows how a Pod can use environment variables to expose information about itself to containers running in the Pod, using the downward API. You can use environment variables to expose Pod fields, container fields, or both. In Kubernetes, there are two ways to expose Pod and container fields to a running container: Environment variables, as explained in this task Volume files Together, these two ways of exposing Pod and container fields are called the downward API.

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.
