Synopsis Create a namespace with the specified name. kubectl create namespace NAME [--dry-run=server|client|none] Examples # Create a new namespace named my-namespace kubectl create namespace my-namespace Options --allow-missing-template-keys     Default: true If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template. Only applies to golang and jsonpath output formats. --dry-run string[="unchanged"]     Default: "none" Must be "none", "server", or "client". If client strategy, only print the object that would be sent, without sending it.

Package v1beta1 is the v1beta1 version of the API. Resource Types AuthenticationConfiguration AuthorizationConfiguration EgressSelectorConfiguration TracingConfiguration TracingConfiguration Appears in: KubeletConfiguration TracingConfiguration TracingConfiguration TracingConfiguration provides versioned configuration for OpenTelemetry tracing clients. FieldDescription endpoint string Endpoint of the collector this component will report traces to. The connection is insecure, and does not currently support TLS. Recommended is unset, and endpoint is the otlp grpc default, localhost:4317. samplingRatePerMillion int32 SamplingRatePerMillion is the number of samples to collect per million spans.

If you notice an issue with Kubernetes documentation or have an idea for new content, then open an issue. All you need is a GitHub account and a web browser. In most cases, new work on Kubernetes documentation begins with an issue in GitHub. Kubernetes contributors then review, categorize and tag issues as needed. Next, you or another member of the Kubernetes community open a pull request with changes to resolve the issue.

Each object in your cluster has a Name that is unique for that type of resource. Every Kubernetes object also has a UID that is unique across your whole cluster. For example, you can only have one Pod named myapp-1234 within the same namespace, but you can have one Pod and one Deployment that are each named myapp-1234. For non-unique user-provided attributes, Kubernetes provides labels and annotations. Names A client-provided string that refers to an object in a resource URL, such as /api/v1/pods/some-name.

Note: Dockershim has been removed from the Kubernetes project as of release 1.24. Read the Dockershim Removal FAQ for further details. You need to install a container runtime into each node in the cluster so that Pods can run there. This page outlines what is involved and describes related tasks for setting up nodes. Kubernetes 1.34 requires that you use a runtime that conforms with the Container Runtime Interface (CRI).

Kubernetes requires PKI certificates for authentication over TLS. If you install Kubernetes with kubeadm, the certificates that your cluster requires are automatically generated. You can also generate your own certificates -- for example, to keep your private keys more secure by not storing them on the API server. This page explains the certificates that your cluster requires. How certificates are used by your cluster Kubernetes requires PKI for the following operations:

This page shows how to use an Init Container to initialize a Pod before an application Container runs. 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:

kube-state-metrics, an add-on agent to generate and expose cluster-level metrics.

This page shows how a Pod can use a downwardAPI volume, to expose information about itself to containers running in the Pod. A downwardAPI volume can expose Pod fields and container fields. In Kubernetes, there are two ways to expose Pod and container fields to a running container: Environment variables Volume files, as explained in this task Together, these two ways of exposing Pod and container fields are called the downward API.

This task shows how to scale a StatefulSet. Scaling a StatefulSet refers to increasing or decreasing the number of replicas. Before you begin StatefulSets are only available in Kubernetes version 1.5 or later. To check your version of Kubernetes, run kubectl version. Not all stateful applications scale nicely. If you are unsure about whether to scale your StatefulSets, see StatefulSet concepts or StatefulSet tutorial for further information. You should perform scaling only when you are confident that your stateful application cluster is completely healthy.
