The Konnectivity service provides a TCP level proxy for the control plane to cluster communication. 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.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.31 [stable](enabled by default) 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).

Deploy the web UI (Kubernetes Dashboard) and access it.

Production-Grade Container Orchestration

Setting up an extension API server to work with the aggregation layer allows the Kubernetes apiserver to be extended with additional APIs, which are not part of the core Kubernetes APIs. 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.

Understand how to protect traffic within your cluster using Transport Layer Security (TLS).

Kubernetes provides a certificates.k8s.io API, which lets you provision TLS certificates signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) that you control. These CA and certificates can be used by your workloads to establish trust. certificates.k8s.io API uses a protocol that is similar to the ACME draft. Note:Certificates created using the certificates.k8s.io API are signed by a dedicated CA. It is possible to configure your cluster to use the cluster root CA for this purpose, but you should never rely on this.

This page shows how to attach handlers to Container lifecycle events. Kubernetes supports the postStart and preStop events. Kubernetes sends the postStart event immediately after a Container is started, and it sends the preStop event immediately before the Container is terminated. A Container may specify one handler per event. 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 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.

A HorizontalPodAutoscaler (HPA for short) automatically updates a workload resource (such as a Deployment or StatefulSet), with the aim of automatically scaling the workload to match demand. Horizontal scaling means that the response to increased load is to deploy more Pods. This is different from vertical scaling, which for Kubernetes would mean assigning more resources (for example: memory or CPU) to the Pods that are already running for the workload.
