1 Setting up your shell and exam tips

This are some settings you can set.

vim settings

Create/edit file ~/.vimrc, add the following:

autocmd FileType yaml setlocal ts=2 sw=2 et ai

alias for kubectl

Set an alias for kubectl in ~/.bashrc

alias k='kubectl'
complete -F __start_kubectl k
alias kn="kubectl config set-context --current --namespace"

kubectl explain is your friend

If the doccumentation is not clear, use:

$ kubectl explain <name of resource>

2 Dnsmasq with networkmanager

If you use the dnsmasq plugin with NetworkManager, see https://fedoramagazine.org/using-the-networkmanagers-dnsmasq-plugin/ Make sure that /etc/nsswitch.conf is configure correctly, this must be set to hosts: dns files, and disable systemd-resolved with sudo systemctl is-disabled systemd-resolved and reboot you system.

Make sure dns entries are there, see the following example:

/etc/hosts:

10.0.0.10	lb.lab.local lb 
10.0.0.20	master1.lab.local master1
10.0.0.21	master2.lab.local master2
10.0.0.22	master3.lab.local master3
10.0.0.30	worker1.lab.local worker1
10.0.0.31	worker2.lab.local worker2
10.0.0.32	worker3.lab.local worker3

And the following for k8s api and wildcard ingress /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/02-lab.conf

# K8S api points to lb
address=/k8s.lab.local/10.0.0.10

# wildcard dns entry points to lb
address=/.apps.lab.local/10.0.0.10

Reload networkmanager sudo systemctl reload NetworkManager
