Kubernetes

Kubernetes is a container-cluster management system. It was written at google.

NOTE:

These notes are early learning, they will eventually need to be divided into sensibly categorized pages.

Install

kubernetes is not itself an OS, install within any linux distro

Usage

kubectl get (nodes|deployments|pods)

Cluster

# minikube is a testing-VM, containing a single node
minikube version      # list testvm version
minikube start        # start testvm

# kubectl interacts with node's kubernetes client
kubectl version       # list client versions
kubectl cluter-info   # list ip-addrs
kubectl get nodes     # list all nodes

Deployments

kubectl create deployment NAME \
    --image=gcr.io/google-samples/kubernetes-bootcamp:v1

kubectl get deployments

Proxy

Kubernetes manages a private network between nodes. kubectl proxy allows entry into that private network. It also creates a RESTAPI-endpoint for each pod within the cluster.

kubectl proxy                          # proxy into cluster' private netwk
curl 'http://localhost:8001/version'   #
