This page explains proxies used with Kubernetes. Proxies There are several different proxies you may encounter when using Kubernetes: The kubectl proxy: runs on a user's desktop or in a pod proxies from a localhost address to the Kubernetes apiserver client to proxy uses HTTP proxy to apiserver uses HTTPS locates apiserver adds authentication headers The apiserver proxy: is a bastion built into the apiserver connects a user outside of the cluster to cluster IPs which otherwise might not be reachable runs in the apiserver processes client to proxy uses HTTPS (or http if apiserver so configured) proxy to target may use HTTP or HTTPS as chosen by proxy using available information can be used to reach a Node, Pod, or Service does load balancing when used to reach a Service The kube proxy:

kubeadm does not support automated ways of reconfiguring components that were deployed on managed nodes. One way of automating this would be by using a custom operator. To modify the components configuration you must manually edit associated cluster objects and files on disk. This guide shows the correct sequence of steps that need to be performed to achieve kubeadm cluster reconfiguration. Before you begin You need a cluster that was deployed using kubeadm Have administrator credentials (/etc/kubernetes/admin.

This page explains how to configure your DNS Pod(s) and customize the DNS resolution process in your cluster. 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:

Creating Secret objects using kustomization.yaml file.

Declarative and imperative paradigms for interacting with the Kubernetes API.

This page shows how to use kubectl exec to get a shell to a running container. 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.

There are two ways to expose Pod and container fields to a running container: environment variables, and as files that are populated by a special volume type. Together, these two ways of exposing Pod and container fields are called the downward API.

Kubernetes has various types of probes: Liveness probe Readiness probe Startup probe Liveness probe Liveness probes determine when to restart a container. For example, liveness probes could catch a deadlock when an application is running but unable to make progress. If a container fails its liveness probe repeatedly, the kubelet restarts the container. Liveness probes do not wait for readiness probes to succeed. If you want to wait before executing a liveness probe, you can either define initialDelaySeconds or use a startup probe.

Expose an application running in your cluster behind a single outward-facing endpoint, even when the workload is split across multiple backends.
