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

This page shows how to delete Pods which are part of a stateful set, and explains the considerations to keep in mind when doing so. Before you begin This is a fairly advanced task and has the potential to violate some of the properties inherent to StatefulSet. Before proceeding, make yourself familiar with the considerations enumerated below. StatefulSet considerations In normal operation of a StatefulSet, there is never a need to force delete a StatefulSet Pod.

Note: This section links to third party projects that provide functionality required by Kubernetes. The Kubernetes project authors aren't responsible for these projects, which are listed alphabetically. To add a project to this list, read the content guide before submitting a change. More information. Kubernetes applications usually consist of multiple, separate services, each running in its own container. Developing and debugging these services on a remote Kubernetes cluster can be cumbersome, requiring you to get a shell on a running container in order to run debugging tools.

Creating Secret objects using resource configuration file.

This guide demonstrates how to access the Kubernetes API from within a pod. 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:

In this example, you will run a Kubernetes Job that runs multiple parallel tasks as worker processes, each running as a separate Pod. In this example, as each pod is created, it picks up one unit of work from a task queue, processes it, and repeats until the end of the queue is reached. Here is an overview of the steps in this example: Start a storage service to hold the work queue.

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.

This page shows how to configure access to multiple clusters by using configuration files. After your clusters, users, and contexts are defined in one or more configuration files, you can quickly switch between clusters by using the kubectl config use-context command. Note:A file that is used to configure access to a cluster is sometimes called a kubeconfig file. This is a generic way of referring to configuration files. It does not mean that there is a file named kubeconfig.

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 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.
