This page contains an overview of the client libraries for using the Kubernetes API from various programming languages. To write applications using the Kubernetes REST API, you do not need to implement the API calls and request/response types yourself. You can use a client library for the programming language you are using. Client libraries often handle common tasks such as authentication for you. Most client libraries can discover and use the Kubernetes Service Account to authenticate if the API client is running inside the Kubernetes cluster, or can understand the kubeconfig file format to read the credentials and the API Server address.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.30 [stable] This page provides an overview of Validating Admission Policy. What is Validating Admission Policy? Validating admission policies offer a declarative, in-process alternative to validating admission webhooks. Validating admission policies use the Common Expression Language (CEL) to declare the validation rules of a policy. Validation admission policies are highly configurable, enabling policy authors to define policies that can be parameterized and scoped to resources as needed by cluster administrators.

This page provides a step-by-step example of updating configuration within a Pod via a ConfigMap and builds upon the Configure a Pod to Use a ConfigMap task. At the end of this tutorial, you will understand how to change the configuration for a running application. This tutorial uses the alpine and nginx images as examples. Before you begin You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.33 [beta] Kubernetes 1.35 includes optional declarative validation for APIs. When enabled, the Kubernetes API server can use this mechanism rather than the legacy approach that relies on hand-written Go code (validation.go files) to ensure that requests against the API are valid. Kubernetes developers, and people extending the Kubernetes API, can define validation rules directly alongside the API type definitions (types.go files). Code authors define special comment tags (e.

The tables below enumerate the configuration parameters on PodSecurityPolicy objects, whether the field mutates and/or validates pods, and how the configuration values map to the Pod Security Standards. For each applicable parameter, the allowed values for the Baseline and Restricted profiles are listed. Anything outside the allowed values for those profiles would fall under the Privileged profile. "No opinion" means all values are allowed under all Pod Security Standards.

This page provides an overview of admission controllers. An admission controller is a piece of code that intercepts requests to the Kubernetes API server prior to persistence of the resource, but after the request is authenticated and authorized. Several important features of Kubernetes require an admission controller to be enabled in order to properly support the feature. As a result, a Kubernetes API server that is not properly configured with the right set of admission controllers is an incomplete server that will not support all the features you expect.

In a Kubernetes cluster, the components on the worker nodes - kubelet and kube-proxy - need to communicate with Kubernetes control plane components, specifically kube-apiserver. In order to ensure that communication is kept private, not interfered with, and ensure that each component of the cluster is talking to another trusted component, we strongly recommend using client TLS certificates on nodes. The normal process of bootstrapping these components, especially worker nodes that need certificates so they can communicate safely with kube-apiserver, can be a challenging process as it is often outside of the scope of Kubernetes and requires significant additional work.

Synopsis Dump cluster information out suitable for debugging and diagnosing cluster problems. By default, dumps everything to stdout. You can optionally specify a directory with --output-directory. If you specify a directory, Kubernetes will build a set of files in that directory. By default, only dumps things in the current namespace and 'kube-system' namespace, but you can switch to a different namespace with the --namespaces flag, or specify --all-namespaces to dump all namespaces.

Synopsis Unset an individual value in a kubeconfig file. PROPERTY_NAME is a dot delimited name where each token represents either an attribute name or a map key. Map keys may not contain dots. kubectl config unset PROPERTY_NAME Examples # Unset the current-context kubectl config unset current-context # Unset namespace in foo context kubectl config unset contexts.foo.namespace Options -h, --help help for unset Parent Options Inherited --as string Username to impersonate for the operation.

During kubeadm init, kubeadm uploads the ClusterConfiguration object to your cluster in a ConfigMap called kubeadm-config in the kube-system namespace. This configuration is then read during kubeadm join, kubeadm reset and kubeadm upgrade. You can use kubeadm config print to print the default static configuration that kubeadm uses for kubeadm init and kubeadm join. Note:The output of the command is meant to serve as an example. You must manually edit the output of this command to adapt to your setup.
