Commands

The following commands are used in the Introduction to Kubernetes course, organized by lesson.

Pods

kubectl get pods
cd src
kubectl create -f 1.1-basic_pod.yaml
kubectl get pods
kubectl describe pod mypod | more
kubectl delete pod mypod
kubectl create -f 1.2-port_pod.yaml
kubectl describe pod mypod | more
curl 192.168.###.###:80

# Replace ###.### with the IP address octets from the describe output)
# This command will time out (see the next lesson to understand why)

kubectl describe pod mypod | more
kubectl delete pod mypod
kubectl create -f 1.4-resources_pod.yaml
kubectl describe pod mypod | more

# Note: kubectl will accept the singular or plural form of resource kinds. For example kubectl get pods and kubectl get pod are equivalent.

Services

kubectl create -f 2.1-web_service.yaml
kubectl get services
kubectl describe service webserver
kubectl describe nodes | grep -i addresses -A 1
curl 10.0.0.100:3####

# replace #### with the actual port digits

kubectl describe pod -n probes app-tier...

# Use tab completion to display the possible values to replace ...

kubectl logs -n probes app-tier-... await-redis

Volumes

kubectl -n deployments logs support-tier-... poller --tail 1

# Use tab completion to display the possible values to replace ...

kubectl exec -n deployments data-tier-... -it -- /bin/bash

# Use tab completion to display the possible values to replace ...

kill 1 # to halt process

kubectl -n deployments get pods
kubectl -n deployments logs support-tier-... poller --tail 1

# Use tab completion to display the possible values to replace ...

#Note: It takes around a couple of minutes for the effects of the restart to settle. The poller will stop updating and report the last value before restarting until it can reach the new data tier value. Try again after a minute if you don't see a relatively small value

kubectl create -f 9.1-namespace.yaml
aws ec2 describe-volumes --region=us-west-2 --filters="Name=tag:Type,Values=PV" --query="Volumes[0].VolumeId" --output=text

# Use tab completion to display the possible values to replace ...

kubectl logs -n volumes support-tier-... poller --tail 1

# Use tab completion to display the possible values to replace ...

# Note: It takes a few minutes for all of the readiness checks to pass and for the counter to start incrementing. If you don't see a counter value output then try again after a minute or two.

kubectl delete -n volumes deployments data-tier
