Before you begin Some steps in this page use the jq tool. If you don't have jq, you can install it via your operating system's software sources, or fetch it from https://jqlang.github.io/jq/. Some steps also involve installing curl, which can be installed via your operating system's software sources. A subset of the kubelet's configuration parameters may be set via an on-disk config file, as a substitute for command-line flags. Providing parameters via a config file is the recommended approach because it simplifies node deployment and configuration management.

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:

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.18 [stable] This page shows how to configure Group Managed Service Accounts (GMSA) for Pods and containers that will run on Windows nodes. Group Managed Service Accounts are a specific type of Active Directory account that provides automatic password management, simplified service principal name (SPN) management, and the ability to delegate the management to other administrators across multiple servers. In Kubernetes, GMSA credential specs are configured at a Kubernetes cluster-wide scope as Custom Resources.

This page shows how to securely inject sensitive data, such as passwords and encryption keys, into Pods. 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:

Node Problem Detector is a daemon for monitoring and reporting about a node's health. You can run Node Problem Detector as a DaemonSet or as a standalone daemon. Node Problem Detector collects information about node problems from various daemons and reports these conditions to the API server as Node Conditions or as Events. To learn how to install and use Node Problem Detector, see Node Problem Detector project documentation.

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.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.24 [stable] In this example, you will run a Kubernetes Job that uses multiple parallel worker processes. Each worker is a different container running in its own Pod. The Pods have an index number that the control plane sets automatically, which allows each Pod to identify which part of the overall task to work on. The pod index is available in the annotation batch.kubernetes.io/job-completion-index as a string representing its decimal value.

This task shows how to scale a StatefulSet. Scaling a StatefulSet refers to increasing or decreasing the number of replicas. Before you begin StatefulSets are only available in Kubernetes version 1.5 or later. To check your version of Kubernetes, run kubectl version. Not all stateful applications scale nicely. If you are unsure about whether to scale your StatefulSets, see StatefulSet concepts or StatefulSet tutorial for further information. You should perform scaling only when you are confident that your stateful application cluster is completely healthy.

Configure load balancing, port forwarding, or setup firewall or DNS configurations to access applications in a cluster.

This guide is to help users debug applications that are deployed into Kubernetes and not behaving correctly. This is not a guide for people who want to debug their cluster. For that you should check out this guide. Diagnosing the problem The first step in troubleshooting is triage. What is the problem? Is it your Pods, your Replication Controller or your Service? Debugging Pods Debugging Replication Controllers Debugging Services Debugging Pods The first step in debugging a Pod is taking a look at it.
