FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.30 [beta] This page explains how user namespaces are used in Kubernetes pods. A user namespace isolates the user running inside the container from the one in the host.

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.

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.

The dockershim component of Kubernetes allows the use of Docker as a Kubernetes's container runtime. Kubernetes' built-in dockershim component was removed in release v1.24. This page explains how your cluster could be using Docker as a container runtime, provides details on the role that dockershim plays when in use, and shows steps you can take to check whether any workloads could be affected by dockershim removal. Finding if your app has a dependencies on Docker If you are using Docker for building your application containers, you can still run these containers on any container runtime.

Synopsis Show details of a specific resource or group of resources. Print a detailed description of the selected resources, including related resources such as events or controllers. You may select a single object by name, all objects of that type, provide a name prefix, or label selector. For example: $ kubectl describe TYPE NAME_PREFIX will first check for an exact match on TYPE and NAME_PREFIX. If no such resource exists, it will output details for every resource that has a name prefixed with NAME_PREFIX.
