Kubernetes

Containerization has revolutionized the way applications are deployed, offering increased portability and scalability. At the forefront of container management, Kubernetes has emerged as a dominant open-source platform.

Derived from the Greek word for helmsman or pilot, Kubernetes aptly serves as a pilot, skillfully managing workloads while you set the course for your applications.

In kubernetes series article, we will explore Kubernetes' essential features, its role in managing containerized workloads, and its extensibility options, empowering developers to harness its full potential.

In this section, will introduction about environment preparation in linux and Mac.

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It was originally developed by Google and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Kubernetes provides a robust and scalable infrastructure to manage and deploy containerized applications in a consistent and efficient manner.

A Kubernetes cluster is a set of physical or virtual machines (nodes) that are connected together to form a cluster. The cluster is managed by the Kubernetes control plane, which includes several components responsible for maintaining the desired state of the cluster. These components ensure that applications are running as intended and handle tasks such as scaling, load balancing, and monitoring.

Node with following components:

Kubernetes has become the standard for container orchestration, enabling developers and DevOps teams to manage containerized applications efficiently and securely. It has a vibrant ecosystem and a vast community that continues to drive innovation and adoption of cloud-native technologies.

When developing an APP in ECS, We need to pass the environment variables to the tasks container.

Because we have sensitive and non-sensitive environment variables, so we need to take care in choosing the policy.

This is part II to illustrate how to setting secret to kubernetes pod local file.

(Aobut the setting secret to environment variables can reference : How to setting kubernetes secret to environment variables )

In Kubernetes, some sensitive information needs to be managed in Pods, which can be managed by Kubernetes secret.

Here we will demonstrate how to manage secrets and save to pod local file.

In Kubernetes, some sensitive information needs to be managed in Pods, which can be managed by Kubernetes secret.

Here we will demonstrate how to manage secrets.

This article will illustrate how to run a Kubernetes in mac M1 local, and learn how to use kubectl command to deploy a service. More detailed concept can reference Kubernetes documents

Kubernetes (K8S) - Mac 本地執行練習上手 如何用 K8S 快速佈建一個 Go Server

如何在 Mac 本地快速透過 K8S 啟用一個服務，這裡以一個簡易的 go server 為例子，一步步來說明如何啟動。

K8S 在指派 Node 節點後，查看 Node 會發現 ROLES 除了master ，其他節點都顯示為 none

> kubectl get node

NAME                  STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION
k8s-node1             Ready    <none>   74m   v1.18.8
k8s-master            Ready    master   45h   v1.18.6

這時發現 Node 節點的 ROLES 顯示為 none，

可以透過手動方式設定 ROLES

在 CentOS7 環境，K8S 的 Master 透過 kubeadm join 啟動後，先查看 pods 處於 Pending 狀態

在 Kubernetes 由於 kubeadm 產生的 token 有效時間為 24 小時，若過期則需要重新產生

重新建立 token 可執行以下指令重建：

kubeadm token create

查看 kubeadm token

K8s 簡介 K8s 是以 Google 的內部使用十多年的容器編排管理平台 Borg 為基礎原形所實現 萬個機器節點，以及幾千個到幾十萬個 pod (容器組），每週都會部署20多個容器 容器編排管理 部署微服務架構 雲平台可移植的層 容器編排管理 單一個 container 並不能提供開發者太多的好處，因為開發及生產場景往往需要複雜的交互，需要多個容器同時並行協同工作，以及跨組織的管理 因此，K8s 就作為 container 編排，可跨主機管理的最佳利器 K8s 以 Pod 為基本容器組，每個 Pod 只做一件事，可以將 Pod 進行編排調度，以及聲明他的物件配置模型（Controller, configmap, secret…)

Kubernets dashboard Kubernets (k8s) 是一個開源的系統，可以用於自動部署，彈性拓展，以及管理容器應用程式。 可以將 containers 統整成 group，並且統一放到一個 Node 的邏輯單元進行管理，及直接用在各種正式的 server 環境。而 Google 就是以這樣的管理模式，每週管理超過數十億個容器，並且在不增加負擔的情況下，輕鬆地完成擴大規模。 在 Docker for mac 預設就提供了 k8s 的安裝 只要開啟 preferences 介面，就會看到 k8s 選項 在這裡我們將它直接啟動，並且同時勾選 Show system containers(advanced) ，就能看到自動安裝 Kubernetes 相關的 containers
