The Common Expression Language (CEL) is used in the Kubernetes API to declare validation rules, policy rules, and other constraints or conditions. CEL expressions are evaluated directly in the API server, making CEL a convenient alternative to out-of-process mechanisms, such as webhooks, for many extensibility use cases. Your CEL expressions continue to execute so long as the control plane's API server component remains available. Language overview The CEL language has a straightforward syntax that is similar to the expressions in C, C++, Java, JavaScript and Go.

This page contains an overview of the client libraries for using the Kubernetes API from various programming languages. To write applications using the Kubernetes REST API, you do not need to implement the API calls and request/response types yourself. You can use a client library for the programming language you are using. Client libraries often handle common tasks such as authentication for you. Most client libraries can discover and use the Kubernetes Service Account to authenticate if the API client is running inside the Kubernetes cluster, or can understand the kubeconfig file format to read the credentials and the API Server address.

Seccomp stands for secure computing mode and has been a feature of the Linux kernel since version 2.6.12. It can be used to sandbox the privileges of a process, restricting the calls it is able to make from userspace into the kernel. Kubernetes lets you automatically apply seccomp profiles loaded onto a node to your Pods and containers. Seccomp fields FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.19 [stable] There are four ways to specify a seccomp profile for a pod:

This guide demonstrates how to access the Kubernetes API from within a pod. 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:

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.31 [stable] (enabled by default: true) This document shows you how to use the Pod failure policy, in combination with the default Pod backoff failure policy, to improve the control over the handling of container- or Pod-level failure within a Job. The definition of Pod failure policy may help you to: better utilize the computational resources by avoiding unnecessary Pod retries. avoid Job failures due to Pod disruptions (such preemption, API-initiated eviction or taint-based eviction).

In this example, you will run a Kubernetes Job that runs multiple parallel tasks as worker processes, each running as a separate Pod. In this example, as each pod is created, it picks up one unit of work from a task queue, processes it, and repeats until the end of the queue is reached. Here is an overview of the steps in this example: Start a storage service to hold the work queue.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.11 [stable] crictl is a command-line interface for CRI-compatible container runtimes. You can use it to inspect and debug container runtimes and applications on a Kubernetes node. crictl and its source are hosted in the cri-tools repository. Before you begin crictl requires a Linux operating system with a CRI runtime. Installing crictl You can download a compressed archive crictl from the cri-tools release page, for several different architectures.

This task shows you how to delete a StatefulSet. Before you begin This task assumes you have an application running on your cluster represented by a StatefulSet. Deleting a StatefulSet You can delete a StatefulSet in the same way you delete other resources in Kubernetes: use the kubectl delete command, and specify the StatefulSet either by file or by name. kubectl delete -f <file.yaml> kubectl delete statefulsets <statefulset-name> You may need to delete the associated headless service separately after the StatefulSet itself is deleted.
