Kubernetes - Pods

  Pods

Pods are the smallest deployable units of computing that you can create and manage in Kubernetes.

What is a Pod?

Note: While Kubernetes supports more container runtimes than just Docker, Docker is the most commonly known runtime, and it helps to describe Pods using some terminology from Docker.

The shared context of a Pod is a set of Linux namespaces, cgroups, and potentially other facets of isolation - the same things that isolate a Docker container. Within a Pod's context, the individual applications may have further sub-isolations applied.

In terms of Docker concepts, a Pod is similar to a group of Docker containers with shared namespaces and shared filesystem volumes

Using Pods

  • Pods that run a single container. The "one-container-per-Pod" model is the most common Kubernetes use case; in this case, you can think of a Pod as a wrapper around a single container; Kubernetes manages Pods rather than managing the containers directly.
  • Pods that run multiple containers that need to work together. A Pod can encapsulate an application composed of multiple co-located containers that are tightly coupled and need to share resources. These co-located containers form a single cohesive unit of service—for example, one container serving data stored in a shared volume to the public, while a separate sidecar container refreshes or updates those files.

Pod networking

Each Pod is assigned a unique IP address for each address family. Every container in a Pod shares the network namespace, including the IP address and network ports. Inside a Pod (and only then), the containers that belong to the Pod can communicate with one another using localhost. When containers in a Pod communicate with entities outside the Pod, they must coordinate how they use the shared network resources (such as ports). Within a Pod, containers share an IP address and port space, and can find each other via localhost.

 

Pod Lifecycle

This page describes the lifecycle of a Pod. Pods follow a defined lifecycle, starting in the Pending phase, moving through Running if at least one of its primary containers starts OK, and then through either the Succeeded or Failed phases depending on whether any container in the Pod terminated in failure.

1.# nginx-pod.yaml

apiVersion: v1

kind: Pod

metadata:

  name: nginx-pod

  labels:

    app: nginx

    tier: dev

spec:

  containers:

  - name: nginx-container

    image: nginx

 

2. Create and display Pods

# Create and display PODs

kubectl create -f nginx-pod.yaml

kubectl get pod

kubectl get pod -o wide

kubectl get pod nginx-pod -o yaml

kubectl describe pod nginx-pod

3. Test & Delete

# To get inside the pod

kubectl exec -it nginx-pod -- /bin/sh

 

# Create test HTML page

cat <<EOF > /usr/share/nginx/html/test.html

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Testing..</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1 style="color:rgb(90,70,250);">Hello, DevopsWorld...!</h1>

<h2>Congratulations, you passed :-) </h2>

</body>

</html>

EOF

exit

 

# Expose PODS using NodePort service

kubectl expose pod nginx-pod --type=NodePort --port=80

 

# Display Service and find NodePort

kubectl describe svc nginx-pod

kubectl get svc

# Open Web-browser and access webapge using

http://nodeip:nodeport/test.html

# Delete pod & svc

kubectl delete svc nginx-pod

kubectl delete pod nginx-pod

Terraform

Image
  Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that lets you build, change, and version cloud and on-prem resources safely and efficiently. HashiCorp Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that lets you define both cloud and on-prem resources in human-readable configuration files that you can version, reuse, and share. You can then use a consistent workflow to provision and manage all of your infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. Terraform can manage low-level components like compute, storage, and networking resources, as well as high-level components like DNS entries and SaaS features. How does Terraform work? Terraform creates and manages resources on cloud platforms and other services through their application programming interfaces (APIs). Providers enable Terraform to work with virtually any platform or service with an accessible API. HashiCorp and the Terraform community have already written  thousands of providers  to manage many different types of resources and services.

Understanding the MoSCoW prioritization | How to implement it into your project Projects, irrespective of their size or complexity, often juggle numerous tasks and requirements. In such a scenario,  MoSCoW prioritization  becomes essential to ensure the successful completion of the project.  Besides, it is also a very effective way to manage project priorities. With a straightforward and adaptable approach, the MoSCoW method helps manage stakeholder expectations and improve project outcomes. What is the MoSCoW prioritization technique?  The MoSCoW method is a prioritization matrix widely used in project management and software development. The term MoSCoW is an acronym that stands for  Must have ,  Should have ,  Could have , and  Won’t have , each denoting a level of priority. Here is the breakdown of the MoSCoW method:  Must have:  These are critical requirements that the project cannot be completed without them. If these are not fulfilled, the project is con

Kubernetes

  Using containers to host applications and other processes has gone mainstream. As more and more workload is moved into containers, management systems are needed to handle the demands of containerized applications at scale. One of the most popular options for managing  container-based workload is Kubernetes . Kubernetes combines container management automation with an extensible API to create a cloud-native application management powerhouse. At its core, Kubernetes manages the placement of pods, which can consist of one or more containers, on a Kubernetes cluster node. Additionally, if one of these pods crashes, Kubernetes can create a new instance of it. If a cluster node is removed, Kubernetes can move any affected workload to a different node in the cluster. On top of that, Kubernetes pods can be scaled to provide more or less throughput to meet scale demands and these scale operations can be triggered manually or automatically using Kuberentes horizontal pod auto-scaling. Finally,
