This page shows how to run a replicated stateful application using a StatefulSet. This application is a replicated MySQL database. The example topology has a single primary server and multiple replicas, using asynchronous row-based replication. Note:This is not a production configuration. MySQL settings remain on insecure defaults to keep the focus on general patterns for running stateful applications in Kubernetes. Before you begin You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster.

Jobs represent one-off tasks that run to completion and then stop.

Kubernetes objects are persistent entities in the Kubernetes system. Kubernetes uses these entities to represent the state of your cluster. Learn about the Kubernetes object model and how to work with these objects.

Field selectors let you select Kubernetes objects based on the value of one or more resource fields. Here are some examples of field selector queries: metadata.name=my-service metadata.namespace!=default status.phase=Pending This kubectl command selects all Pods for which the value of the status.phase field is Running: kubectl get pods --field-selector status.phase=Running Note:Field selectors are essentially resource filters. By default, no selectors/filters are applied, meaning that all resources of the specified type are selected.

This page shows how a Pod can use a downwardAPI volume, to expose information about itself to containers running in the Pod. A downwardAPI volume can expose Pod fields and container fields. In Kubernetes, there are two ways to expose Pod and container fields to a running container: Environment variables Volume files, as explained in this task Together, these two ways of exposing Pod and container fields are called the downward API.

This page shows how to use an Init Container to initialize a Pod before an application Container runs. 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:

Production-Grade Container Orchestration

Synopsis Request a service account token. kubectl create token SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME Examples # Request a token to authenticate to the kube-apiserver as the service account "myapp" in the current namespace kubectl create token myapp # Request a token for a service account in a custom namespace kubectl create token myapp --namespace myns # Request a token with a custom expiration kubectl create token myapp --duration 10m # Request a token with a custom audience kubectl create token myapp --audience https://example.

Production-Grade Container Orchestration

Synopsis Specify compute resource requirements (CPU, memory) for any resource that defines a pod template. If a pod is successfully scheduled, it is guaranteed the amount of resource requested, but may burst up to its specified limits. For each compute resource, if a limit is specified and a request is omitted, the request will default to the limit. Possible resources include (case insensitive): Use "kubectl api-resources" for a complete list of supported resources.
