This page describes how kubelet managed Containers can use the Container lifecycle hook framework to run code triggered by events during their management lifecycle. Overview Analogous to many programming language frameworks that have component lifecycle hooks, such as Angular, Kubernetes provides Containers with lifecycle hooks. The hooks enable Containers to be aware of events in their management lifecycle and run code implemented in a handler when the corresponding lifecycle hook is executed.

In robotics and automation, a control loop is a non-terminating loop that regulates the state of a system. Here is one example of a control loop: a thermostat in a room. When you set the temperature, that's telling the thermostat about your desired state. The actual room temperature is the current state. The thermostat acts to bring the current state closer to the desired state, by turning equipment on or off.

Since release v1.32, we introduced configurable version compatibility and emulation options to Kubernetes control plane components to make upgrades safer by providing more control and increasing the granularity of steps available to cluster administrators. Emulated Version The emulation option is set by the --emulated-version flag of control plane components. It allows the component to emulate the behavior (APIs, features, ...) of an earlier version of Kubernetes. When used, the capabilities available will match the emulated version:

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.18 [beta] This page explains how to add Windows worker nodes to a kubeadm cluster. Before you begin A running Windows Server 2022 (or higher) instance with administrative access. A running kubeadm cluster created by kubeadm init and following the steps in the document Creating a cluster with kubeadm. Adding Windows worker nodes Note:To facilitate the addition of Windows worker nodes to a cluster, PowerShell scripts from the repository https://sigs.

Custom resources are extensions of the Kubernetes API. This page discusses when to add a custom resource to your Kubernetes cluster and when to use a standalone service. It describes the two methods for adding custom resources and how to choose between them. Custom resources A resource is an endpoint in the Kubernetes API that stores a collection of API objects of a certain kind; for example, the built-in pods resource contains a collection of Pod objects.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.18 [beta] This page explains how to upgrade a Windows node created with kubeadm. Before you begin You need to have shell access to all the nodes, 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. Your Kubernetes server must be at or later than version 1.

This page shows how to safely drain a node, optionally respecting the PodDisruptionBudget you have defined. Before you begin This task assumes that you have met the following prerequisites: You do not require your applications to be highly available during the node drain, or You have read about the PodDisruptionBudget concept, and have configured PodDisruptionBudgets for applications that need them. (Optional) Configure a disruption budget To ensure that your workloads remain available during maintenance, you can configure a PodDisruptionBudget.
