User impersonation is a method of allowing authenticated users to act as another user, group, or service account through HTTP headers. A user can act as another user through impersonation headers. These let requests manually override the user info a request authenticates as. For example, an admin could use this feature to debug an authorization policy by temporarily impersonating another user and seeing if a request was denied. Impersonation requests first authenticate as the requesting user, then switch to the impersonated user info.

Synopsis kubectl controls the Kubernetes cluster manager. Find more information at: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/ kubectl [flags] Options --as string Username to impersonate for the operation. User could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace. --as-group strings Group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups. --as-uid string UID to impersonate for the operation. --as-user-extra strings User extras to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple values for the same key.

Kubernetes nodes come pre-populated with a standard set of labels. You can also set your own labels on nodes, either through the kubelet configuration or using the Kubernetes API. Preset labels The preset labels that Kubernetes sets on nodes are: kubernetes.io/arch kubernetes.io/hostname kubernetes.io/os node.kubernetes.io/instance-type (if known to the kubelet – Kubernetes may not have this information to set the label) topology.kubernetes.io/region (if known to the kubelet – Kubernetes may not have this information to set the label) topology.

Synopsis Create a priority class with the specified name, value, globalDefault and description. kubectl create priorityclass NAME --value=VALUE --global-default=BOOL [--dry-run=server|client|none] Examples # Create a priority class named high-priority kubectl create priorityclass high-priority --value=1000 --description="high priority" # Create a priority class named default-priority that is considered as the global default priority kubectl create priorityclass default-priority --value=1000 --global-default=true --description="default priority" # Create a priority class named high-priority that cannot preempt pods with lower priority kubectl create priorityclass high-priority --value=1000 --description="high priority" --preemption-policy="Never" Options --allow-missing-template-keys     Default: true If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template.

Production-Grade Container Orchestration

A DaemonSet defines Pods that provide node-local facilities. These might be fundamental to the operation of your cluster, such as a networking helper tool, or be part of an add-on.

Create a production-quality Kubernetes cluster

Note: Dockershim has been removed from the Kubernetes project as of release 1.24. Read the Dockershim Removal FAQ for further details. You need to install a container runtime into each node in the cluster so that Pods can run there. This page outlines what is involved and describes related tasks for setting up nodes. Kubernetes 1.35 requires that you use a runtime that conforms with the Container Runtime Interface (CRI).

Field selectors let you select Kubernetes objects based on the value of one or more resource fields. Here are some examples of field selector queries: metadata.name=my-service metadata.namespace!=default status.phase=Pending This kubectl command selects all Pods for which the value of the status.phase field is Running: kubectl get pods --field-selector status.phase=Running Note:Field selectors are essentially resource filters. By default, no selectors/filters are applied, meaning that all resources of the specified type are selected.
