Your workload can discover Services within your cluster using DNS; this page explains how that works.

Storage capacity is limited and may vary depending on the node on which a pod runs: network-attached storage might not be accessible by all nodes, or storage is local to a node to begin with. FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.24 [stable] This page describes how Kubernetes keeps track of storage capacity and how the scheduler uses that information to schedule Pods onto nodes that have access to enough storage capacity for the remaining missing volumes.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.34 [stable](enabled by default) This page assumes that you are familiar with StorageClasses, volumes and PersistentVolumes in Kubernetes. A VolumeAttributesClass provides a way for administrators to describe the mutable "classes" of storage they offer. Different classes might map to different quality-of-service levels. Kubernetes itself is un-opinionated about what these classes represent. This feature is generally available (GA) as of version 1.34, and users have the option to disable it.

This page shows how to safely drain a node, optionally respecting the PodDisruptionBudget you have defined. Before you begin This task assumes that you have met the following prerequisites: You do not require your applications to be highly available during the node drain, or You have read about the PodDisruptionBudget concept, and have configured PodDisruptionBudgets for applications that need them. (Optional) Configure a disruption budget To ensure that your workloads remain available during maintenance, you can configure a PodDisruptionBudget.

Assign infrastructure resources to your Kubernetes workloads.

Different ways to change the behavior of your Kubernetes cluster.

This page provides a walkthrough for some steps you can follow to run Windows containers using Kubernetes. The page also highlights some Windows specific functionality within Kubernetes. It is important to note that creating and deploying services and workloads on Kubernetes behaves in much the same way for Linux and Windows containers. The kubectl commands to interface with the cluster are identical. The examples in this page are provided to jumpstart your experience with Windows containers.

Understand how to gain end-to-end visibility of a Kubernetes cluster through the collection of metrics, logs, and traces.

Before you begin You must use a kubectl version that is within one minor version difference of your cluster. For example, a v1.35 client can communicate with v1.34, v1.35, and v1.36 control planes. Using the latest compatible version of kubectl helps avoid unforeseen issues. Install kubectl on Linux The following methods exist for installing kubectl on Linux: Install kubectl binary with curl on Linux Install using native package management Install using other package management Install kubectl binary with curl on Linux Download the latest release with the command:
