This page explains how to enable a package repository for the desired Kubernetes minor release upon upgrading a cluster. This is only needed for users of the community-owned package repositories hosted at pkgs.k8s.io. Unlike the legacy package repositories, the community-owned package repositories are structured in a way that there's a dedicated package repository for each Kubernetes minor version. Note:This guide only covers a part of the Kubernetes upgrade process. Please see the upgrade guide for more information about upgrading Kubernetes clusters.

This example demonstrates how to limit the amount of storage consumed in a namespace. The following resources are used in the demonstration: ResourceQuota, LimitRange, and PersistentVolumeClaim. 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 describes the CoreDNS upgrade process and how to install CoreDNS instead of kube-dns. 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:

Set up Kubernetes tools on your computer.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.14 [beta] kube-scheduler is the Kubernetes default scheduler. It is responsible for placement of Pods on Nodes in a cluster. Nodes in a cluster that meet the scheduling requirements of a Pod are called feasible Nodes for the Pod. The scheduler finds feasible Nodes for a Pod and then runs a set of functions to score the feasible Nodes, picking a Node with the highest score among the feasible ones to run the Pod.

kube-state-metrics, an add-on agent to generate and expose cluster-level metrics.

This page outlines steps to find out what container runtime the nodes in your cluster use. Depending on the way you run your cluster, the container runtime for the nodes may have been pre-configured or you need to configure it. If you're using a managed Kubernetes service, there might be vendor-specific ways to check what container runtime is configured for the nodes. The method described on this page should work whenever the execution of kubectl is allowed.

Node-pressure eviction is the process by which the kubelet proactively terminates pods to reclaim resources on nodes. The kubelet monitors resources like memory, disk space, and filesystem inodes on your cluster's nodes. When one or more of these resources reach specific consumption levels, the kubelet can proactively fail one or more pods on the node to reclaim resources and prevent starvation. During a node-pressure eviction, the kubelet sets the phase for the selected pods to Failed, and terminates the Pod.

Application logs can help you understand what is happening inside your application. The logs are particularly useful for debugging problems and monitoring cluster activity. Most modern applications have some kind of logging mechanism. Likewise, container engines are designed to support logging. The easiest and most adopted logging method for containerized applications is writing to standard output and standard error streams. However, the native functionality provided by a container engine or runtime is usually not enough for a complete logging solution.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.27 [beta] System component traces record the latency of and relationships between operations in the cluster. Kubernetes components emit traces using the OpenTelemetry Protocol with the gRPC exporter and can be collected and routed to tracing backends using an OpenTelemetry Collector. Trace Collection Kubernetes components have built-in gRPC exporters for OTLP to export traces, either with an OpenTelemetry Collector, or without an OpenTelemetry Collector. For a complete guide to collecting traces and using the collector, see Getting Started with the OpenTelemetry Collector.
