This page explains how to configure your DNS Pod(s) and customize the DNS resolution process in your cluster. Before you begin You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. It is recommended to run this tutorial on a cluster with at least two nodes that are not acting as control plane hosts. If you do not already have a cluster, you can create one by using minikube or you can use one of these Kubernetes playgrounds:

This page shows how to safely drain a node, optionally respecting the PodDisruptionBudget you have defined. Before you begin This task assumes that you have met the following prerequisites: You do not require your applications to be highly available during the node drain, or You have read about the PodDisruptionBudget concept, and have configured PodDisruptionBudgets for applications that need them. (Optional) Configure a disruption budget To ensure that your workloads remain available during maintenance, you can configure a PodDisruptionBudget.

This page shows how to configure quotas for API objects, including PersistentVolumeClaims and Services. A quota restricts the number of objects, of a particular type, that can be created in a namespace. You specify quotas in a ResourceQuota object. Before you begin You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. It is recommended to run this tutorial on a cluster with at least two nodes that are not acting as control plane hosts.

Using kubeadm, you can create a minimum viable Kubernetes cluster that conforms to best practices. In fact, you can use kubeadm to set up a cluster that will pass the Kubernetes Conformance tests. kubeadm also supports other cluster lifecycle functions, such as bootstrap tokens and cluster upgrades. The kubeadm tool is good if you need: A simple way for you to try out Kubernetes, possibly for the first time. A way for existing users to automate setting up a cluster and test their application.

Storage capacity is limited and may vary depending on the node on which a pod runs: network-attached storage might not be accessible by all nodes, or storage is local to a node to begin with. FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.24 [stable] This page describes how Kubernetes keeps track of storage capacity and how the scheduler uses that information to schedule Pods onto nodes that have access to enough storage capacity for the remaining missing volumes.

A ConfigMap is an API object used to store non-confidential data in key-value pairs. Pods can consume ConfigMaps as environment variables, command-line arguments, or as configuration files in a volume. A ConfigMap allows you to decouple environment-specific configuration from your container images, so that your applications are easily portable. Caution:ConfigMap does not provide secrecy or encryption. If the data you want to store are confidential, use a Secret rather than a ConfigMap, or use additional (third party) tools to keep your data private.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.34 [stable](enabled by default) This page assumes that you are familiar with StorageClasses, volumes and PersistentVolumes in Kubernetes. A VolumeAttributesClass provides a way for administrators to describe the mutable "classes" of storage they offer. Different classes might map to different quality-of-service levels. Kubernetes itself is un-opinionated about what these classes represent. This feature is generally available (GA) as of version 1.34, and users have the option to disable it.
