Manage security and best-practices with policies.

Baseline checklist for ensuring security in Kubernetes clusters.

Kubernetes core components such as the API server, scheduler, and controller-manager run on a control plane node. However, add-ons must run on a regular cluster node. Some of these add-ons are critical to a fully functional cluster, such as metrics-server, DNS, and UI. A cluster may stop working properly if a critical add-on is evicted (either manually or as a side effect of another operation like upgrade) and becomes pending (for example when the cluster is highly utilized and either there are other pending pods that schedule into the space vacated by the evicted critical add-on pod or the amount of resources available on the node changed for some other reason).

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.27 [stable] An increasing number of systems leverage a combination of CPUs and hardware accelerators to support latency-critical execution and high-throughput parallel computation. These include workloads in fields such as telecommunications, scientific computing, machine learning, financial services and data analytics. Such hybrid systems comprise a high performance environment. In order to extract the best performance, optimizations related to CPU isolation, memory and device locality are required. However, in Kubernetes, these optimizations are handled by a disjoint set of components.

This page shows how to view, work in, and delete namespaces. The page also shows how to use Kubernetes namespaces to subdivide your cluster. Before you begin Have an existing Kubernetes cluster. You have a basic understanding of Kubernetes Pods, Services, and Deployments. Viewing namespaces List the current namespaces in a cluster using: kubectl get namespaces NAME STATUS AGE default Active 11d kube-node-lease Active 11d kube-public Active 11d kube-system Active 11d Kubernetes starts with four initial namespaces:

Node-level troubleshooting My Pods are stuck at "Container Creating" or restarting over and over Ensure that your pause image is compatible with your Windows OS version. See Pause container to see the latest / recommended pause image and/or get more information. Note:If using containerd as your container runtime the pause image is specified in the plugins.plugins.cri.sandbox_image field of the of config.toml configuration file. My pods show status as ErrImgPull or ImagePullBackOff

Understand how to protect traffic within your cluster using Transport Layer Security (TLS).

Production-Grade Container Orchestration

Adding entries to a Pod's /etc/hosts file provides Pod-level override of hostname resolution when DNS and other options are not applicable. You can add these custom entries with the HostAliases field in PodSpec. The Kubernetes project recommends modifying DNS configuration using the hostAliases field (part of the .spec for a Pod), and not by using an init container or other means to edit /etc/hosts directly. Change made in other ways may be overwritten by the kubelet during Pod creation or restart.

This page shows how to use a Volume to communicate between two Containers running in the same Pod. See also how to allow processes to communicate by sharing process namespace between containers. 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.
