Production-Grade Container Orchestration

Synopsis The Kubernetes network proxy runs on each node. This reflects services as defined in the Kubernetes API on each node and can do simple TCP, UDP, and SCTP stream forwarding or round robin TCP, UDP, and SCTP forwarding across a set of backends. Service cluster IPs and ports are currently found through Docker-links-compatible environment variables specifying ports opened by the service proxy. There is an optional addon that provides cluster DNS for these cluster IPs.

Synopsis The Kubernetes scheduler is a control plane process which assigns Pods to Nodes. The scheduler determines which Nodes are valid placements for each Pod in the scheduling queue according to constraints and available resources. The scheduler then ranks each valid Node and binds the Pod to a suitable Node. Multiple different schedulers may be used within a cluster; kube-scheduler is the reference implementation. See scheduling for more information about scheduling and the kube-scheduler component.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.10 [stable] kubeadm init and kubeadm join together provide a nice user experience for creating a bare Kubernetes cluster from scratch, that aligns with the best-practices. However, it might not be obvious how kubeadm does that. This document provides additional details on what happens under the hood, with the aim of sharing knowledge on the best practices for a Kubernetes cluster. Core design principles The cluster that kubeadm init and kubeadm join set up should be:

When using the kubelet's --config-dir flag to specify a drop-in directory for configuration, there is some specific behavior on how different types are merged. Here are some examples of how different data types behave during configuration merging: Structure Fields There are two types of structure fields in a YAML structure: singular (or a scalar type) and embedded (structures that contain scalar types). The configuration merging process handles the overriding of singular and embedded struct fields to create a resulting kubelet configuration.

This task shows how to create a frontend and a backend microservice. The backend microservice is a hello greeter. The frontend exposes the backend using nginx and a Kubernetes Service object. Objectives Create and run a sample hello backend microservice using a Deployment object. Use a Service object to send traffic to the backend microservice's multiple replicas. Create and run a nginx frontend microservice, also using a Deployment object. Configure the frontend microservice to send traffic to the backend microservice.

This page shows how to install a custom resource into the Kubernetes API by creating a CustomResourceDefinition. 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:

Detailed explanation of Pressure Stall Information (PSI) metrics and how to use them to identify resource pressure in Kubernetes.

FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.27 [beta] This is a community maintained list of official CVEs announced by the Kubernetes Security Response Committee. See Kubernetes Security and Disclosure Information for more details. The Kubernetes project publishes a programmatically accessible feed of published security issues in JSON feed and RSS feed formats. You can access it by executing the following commands: JSON feed RSS feed Link to JSON format curl -Lv https://k8s.io/docs/reference/issues-security/official-cve-feed/index.json Link to RSS format
