This page provides a list of Kubernetes certified solution providers. From each provider page, you can learn how to install and setup production ready clusters.

This page provides an overview of best practices when it comes to enforcing Pod Security Standards. Using the built-in Pod Security Admission Controller FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.25 [stable] The Pod Security Admission Controller intends to replace the deprecated PodSecurityPolicies. Configure all cluster namespaces Namespaces that lack any configuration at all should be considered significant gaps in your cluster security model. We recommend taking the time to analyze the types of workloads occurring in each namespace, and by referencing the Pod Security Standards, decide on an appropriate level for each of them.

Kubernetes objects are persistent entities in the Kubernetes system. Kubernetes uses these entities to represent the state of your cluster. Learn about the Kubernetes object model and how to work with these objects.

Create a production-quality Kubernetes cluster

Field selectors let you select Kubernetes objects based on the value of one or more resource fields. Here are some examples of field selector queries: metadata.name=my-service metadata.namespace!=default status.phase=Pending This kubectl command selects all Pods for which the value of the status.phase field is Running: kubectl get pods --field-selector status.phase=Running Note:Field selectors are essentially resource filters. By default, no selectors/filters are applied, meaning that all resources of the specified type are selected.

Every node in a Kubernetes cluster runs a kube-proxy (unless you have deployed your own alternative component in place of kube-proxy). The kube-proxy component is responsible for implementing a virtual IP mechanism for Services of type other than ExternalName. Each instance of kube-proxy watches the Kubernetes control plane for the addition and removal of Service and EndpointSlice objects. For each Service, kube-proxy calls appropriate APIs (depending on the kube-proxy mode) to configure the node to capture traffic to the Service's clusterIP and port, and redirect that traffic to one of the Service's endpoints (usually a Pod, but possibly an arbitrary user-provided IP address).

Synopsis Set the latest last-applied-configuration annotations by setting it to match the contents of a file. This results in the last-applied-configuration being updated as though 'kubectl apply -f<file> ' was run, without updating any other parts of the object. kubectl apply set-last-applied -f FILENAME Examples # Set the last-applied-configuration of a resource to match the contents of a file kubectl apply set-last-applied -f deploy.yaml # Execute set-last-applied against each configuration file in a directory kubectl apply set-last-applied -f path/ # Set the last-applied-configuration of a resource to match the contents of a file; will create the annotation if it does not already exist kubectl apply set-last-applied -f deploy.

Production-Grade Container Orchestration

Synopsis Edit the latest last-applied-configuration annotations of resources from the default editor. The edit-last-applied command allows you to directly edit any API resource you can retrieve via the command-line tools. It will open the editor defined by your KUBE_EDITOR, or EDITOR environment variables, or fall back to 'vi' for Linux or 'notepad' for Windows. You can edit multiple objects, although changes are applied one at a time. The command accepts file names as well as command-line arguments, although the files you point to must be previously saved versions of resources.

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.
