Synopsis Renames a context from the kubeconfig file. CONTEXT_NAME is the context name that you want to change. NEW_NAME is the new name you want to set. Note: If the context being renamed is the 'current-context', this field will also be updated. kubectl config rename-context CONTEXT_NAME NEW_NAME Examples # Rename the context 'old-name' to 'new-name' in your kubeconfig file kubectl config rename-context old-name new-name Options -h, --help help for rename-context

Synopsis Display one or many contexts from the kubeconfig file. kubectl config get-contexts [(-o|--output=)name)] Examples # List all the contexts in your kubeconfig file kubectl config get-contexts # Describe one context in your kubeconfig file kubectl config get-contexts my-context Options -h, --help help for get-contexts --no-headers When using the default or custom-column output format, don't print headers (default print headers). -o, --output string Output format. One of: (name). Parent Options Inherited --as string Username to impersonate for the operation.

Synopsis Create a priority class with the specified name, value, globalDefault and description. kubectl create priorityclass NAME --value=VALUE --global-default=BOOL [--dry-run=server|client|none] Examples # Create a priority class named high-priority kubectl create priorityclass high-priority --value=1000 --description="high priority" # Create a priority class named default-priority that is considered as the global default priority kubectl create priorityclass default-priority --value=1000 --global-default=true --description="default priority" # Create a priority class named high-priority that cannot preempt pods with lower priority kubectl create priorityclass high-priority --value=1000 --description="high priority" --preemption-policy="Never" Options --allow-missing-template-keys     Default: true If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template.

Legacy API for managing workloads that can scale horizontally. Superseded by the Deployment and ReplicaSet APIs.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.14 [stable] Pods can have priority. Priority indicates the importance of a Pod relative to other Pods. If a Pod cannot be scheduled, the scheduler tries to preempt (evict) lower priority Pods to make scheduling of the pending Pod possible. Warning:In a cluster where not all users are trusted, a malicious user could create Pods at the highest possible priorities, causing other Pods to be evicted/not get scheduled.

Node Conformance Test Node conformance test is a containerized test framework that provides a system verification and functionality test for a node. The test validates whether the node meets the minimum requirements for Kubernetes; a node that passes the test is qualified to join a Kubernetes cluster. Node Prerequisite To run node conformance test, a node must satisfy the same prerequisites as a standard Kubernetes node. At a minimum, the node should have the following daemons installed:

Finalizers are namespaced keys that tell Kubernetes to wait until specific conditions are met before it fully deletes resources marked for deletion. Finalizers alert controllers to clean up resources the deleted object owned. When you tell Kubernetes to delete an object that has finalizers specified for it, the Kubernetes API marks the object for deletion by populating .metadata.deletionTimestamp, and returns a 202 status code (HTTP "Accepted"). The target object remains in a terminating state while the control plane, or other components, take the actions defined by the finalizers.

On Linux, control groups constrain resources that are allocated to processes. The kubelet and the underlying container runtime need to interface with cgroups to enforce resource management for pods and containers which includes cpu/memory requests and limits for containerized workloads. There are two versions of cgroups in Linux: cgroup v1 and cgroup v2. cgroup v2 is the new generation of the cgroup API. What is cgroup v2? FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.
