Make your HTTP (or HTTPS) network service available using a protocol-aware configuration mechanism, that understands web concepts like URIs, hostnames, paths, and more. The Ingress concept lets you map traffic to different backends based on rules you define via the Kubernetes API.

This document describes the concept of VolumeSnapshotClass in Kubernetes. Familiarity with volume snapshots and storage classes is suggested. Introduction Just like StorageClass provides a way for administrators to describe the "classes" of storage they offer when provisioning a volume, VolumeSnapshotClass provides a way to describe the "classes" of storage when provisioning a volume snapshot. The VolumeSnapshotClass Resource Each VolumeSnapshotClass contains the fields driver, deletionPolicy, and parameters, which are used when a VolumeSnapshot belonging to the class needs to be dynamically provisioned.

This page provides an storage overview specific to the Windows operating system. Persistent storage Windows has a layered filesystem driver to mount container layers and create a copy filesystem based on NTFS. All file paths in the container are resolved only within the context of that container. With Docker, volume mounts can only target a directory in the container, and not an individual file. This limitation does not apply to containerd.

Configure load balancing, port forwarding, or setup firewall or DNS configurations to access applications in a cluster.

Learn how to configure networking for your cluster.

Run Jobs using parallel processing.

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

kube-state-metrics, an add-on agent to generate and expose cluster-level metrics.

Kubernetes supports nodes that run Microsoft Windows.

This page outlines steps to find out what container runtime the nodes in your cluster use. Depending on the way you run your cluster, the container runtime for the nodes may have been pre-configured or you need to configure it. If you're using a managed Kubernetes service, there might be vendor-specific ways to check what container runtime is configured for the nodes. The method described on this page should work whenever the execution of kubectl is allowed.
