Production-Grade Container Orchestration

Collection of Pod & Container metrics via the CRI.

Kubernetes nodes come pre-populated with a standard set of labels. You can also set your own labels on nodes, either through the kubelet configuration or using the Kubernetes API. Preset labels The preset labels that Kubernetes sets on nodes are: kubernetes.io/arch kubernetes.io/hostname kubernetes.io/os node.kubernetes.io/instance-type (if known to the kubelet – Kubernetes may not have this information to set the label) topology.kubernetes.io/region (if known to the kubelet – Kubernetes may not have this information to set the label) topology.

Many applications rely on configuration which is used during either application initialization or runtime. Most times, there is a requirement to adjust values assigned to configuration parameters. ConfigMaps are a Kubernetes mechanism that let you inject configuration data into application pods. The ConfigMap concept allow you to decouple configuration artifacts from image content to keep containerized applications portable. For example, you can download and run the same container image to spin up containers for the purposes of local development, system test, or running a live end-user workload.

The dockershim component of Kubernetes allows the use of Docker as a Kubernetes's container runtime. Kubernetes' built-in dockershim component was removed in release v1.24. This page explains how your cluster could be using Docker as a container runtime, provides details on the role that dockershim plays when in use, and shows steps you can take to check whether any workloads could be affected by dockershim removal. Finding if your app has a dependencies on Docker If you are using Docker for building your application containers, you can still run these containers on any container runtime.

This page describes the CoreDNS upgrade process and how to install CoreDNS instead of kube-dns. 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 v1.18 [stable] This page shows how to configure Group Managed Service Accounts (GMSA) for Pods and containers that will run on Windows nodes. Group Managed Service Accounts are a specific type of Active Directory account that provides automatic password management, simplified service principal name (SPN) management, and the ability to delegate the management to other administrators across multiple servers. In Kubernetes, GMSA credential specs are configured at a Kubernetes cluster-wide scope as Custom Resources.

This example demonstrates how to limit the amount of storage consumed in a namespace. The following resources are used in the demonstration: ResourceQuota, LimitRange, and PersistentVolumeClaim. 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.
