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 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.

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:

Configure and manage huge pages as a schedulable resource in a cluster.

Production-Grade Container Orchestration

Concepts for keeping your cloud-native workload secure.

You've deployed your application and exposed it via a Service. Now what? Kubernetes provides a number of tools to help you manage your application deployment, including scaling and updating. Organizing resource configurations Many applications require multiple resources to be created, such as a Deployment along with a Service. Management of multiple resources can be simplified by grouping them together in the same file (separated by --- in YAML). For example:

Principles and practices for good Secret management for cluster administrators and application developers.

Kubernetes can be configured to use swap memory on a node, allowing the kernel to free up physical memory by swapping out pages to backing storage. This is useful for multiple use-cases. For example, nodes running workloads that can benefit from using swap, such as those that have large memory footprints but only access a portion of that memory at any given time. It also helps prevent Pods from being terminated during memory pressure spikes, shields nodes from system-level memory spikes that might compromise its stability, allows for more flexible memory management on the node, and much more.
