Automatically provision and consolidate the Nodes in your cluster to adapt to demand and optimize cost.

In a Kubernetes cluster, a node can be shut down in a planned graceful way or unexpectedly because of reasons such as a power outage or something else external. A node shutdown could lead to workload failure if the node is not drained before the shutdown. A node shutdown can be either graceful or non-graceful. Graceful node shutdown The kubelet attempts to detect node system shutdown and terminates pods running on the node.

This page shows how to use Weave Net for NetworkPolicy. Before you begin You need to have a Kubernetes cluster. Follow the kubeadm getting started guide to bootstrap one. Install the Weave Net addon Follow the Integrating Kubernetes via the Addon guide. The Weave Net addon for Kubernetes comes with a Network Policy Controller that automatically monitors Kubernetes for any NetworkPolicy annotations on all namespaces and configures iptables rules to allow or block traffic as directed by the policies.

This page explains how to configure the kubelet's cgroup driver to match the container runtime cgroup driver for kubeadm clusters. Before you begin You should be familiar with the Kubernetes container runtime requirements. Configuring the container runtime cgroup driver The Container runtimes page explains that the systemd driver is recommended for kubeadm based setups instead of the kubelet's default cgroupfs driver, because kubeadm manages the kubelet as a systemd service.

When using client certificate authentication, you can generate certificates manually through easyrsa, openssl or cfssl. easyrsa easyrsa can manually generate certificates for your cluster. Download, unpack, and initialize the patched version of easyrsa3. curl -LO https://dl.k8s.io/easy-rsa/easy-rsa.tar.gz tar xzf easy-rsa.tar.gz cd easy-rsa-master/easyrsa3 ./easyrsa init-pki Generate a new certificate authority (CA). --batch sets automatic mode; --req-cn specifies the Common Name (CN) for the CA's new root certificate. ./easyrsa --batch "--req-cn=${MASTER_IP}@`date +%s`" build-ca nopass Generate server certificate and key.

Production-Grade Container Orchestration

Production-Grade Container Orchestration

Device plugins let you configure your cluster with support for devices or resources that require vendor-specific setup, such as GPUs, NICs, FPGAs, or non-volatile main memory.

Kubernetes provides a built-in admission controller to enforce the Pod Security Standards. You can configure this admission controller to set cluster-wide defaults and exemptions. Before you begin Following an alpha release in Kubernetes v1.22, Pod Security Admission became available by default in Kubernetes v1.23, as a beta. From version 1.25 onwards, Pod Security Admission is generally available. To check the version, enter kubectl version. If you are not running Kubernetes 1.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.26 [alpha](disabled by default) This page shows how to migrate nodes to use event based updates for container status. The event-based implementation reduces node resource consumption by the kubelet, compared to the legacy approach that relies on polling. You may know this feature as evented Pod lifecycle event generator (PLEG). That's the name used internally within the Kubernetes project for a key implementation detail. The polling based approach is referred to as generic PLEG.
