Introduction To Kubernetes (K8) : Tomislav Mikulin Devops

Kubernetes (k8s) is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers into pods that can be deployed across a cluster of machines. Key features include horizontal scaling, self-healing, service discovery, and load balancing. The basic objects in k8s are pods, services, volumes, and nodes. Deployments drive apps to their desired state, and services provide a stable IP for pods. Kubernetes abstracts the hardware layer and provides portability across clouds.

Introduction to Kubernetes (k8)

Tomislav Mikulin
DevOps
Word of caution
What is kubernetes?
Formal definition:

“Kubernetes is an open source system for


automating deployment, scaling and management
of containerized applications”

Kubernetes documentation
What is kubernetes?
Unformal definition:

“Kubernetes is like having a little devops in a


cluster that takes care of you’re applications and
makes sure that everything is up and running.”

Kelsey Hightower (Google)


Packaging applications
Containers (Docker)

Two main benefits:

• They make shipping and deploying apps a lot easier!

• They bundle all the apps dependencies in a single image


Packaging applications
Docker - like mobile apps on a smartphone, but for
servers
Docker deployment
Now what?
Why do we need k8?
• Real issues are:

• Application configuration

• Service discovery

• Managing updates

• Monitoring

• Deployment…
Why is k8 special?
• Github (37,578 )

• 1693 contributors

Backed up by :

• Google, RedHat, CoreOS, Cloud Native Computing


Foundation

• Cloud providers AWS, GCLOUD, AZURE

• 10/15 years of R&D in Google (Borg, Omega)


k8 features
• Horizontal scaling

• Automated rollouts and rollbacks

• Self healing

• Service discovery and load balancing

• Secret and configuration management

• Better server utilization (less money goes to aws)

k8 basic objects
• Everything in k8 is a declarative configuration object
(RESTfull API object)

k8 uses them to represent the state of a cluster:

• Pod - a group of one or more containers

• Service - gives your pods a stable IP

• Volume - storage and configuration for the pods

• Nodes - VM or physical machine


k8 high-level objects
controllers

• ReplicaSet

• Deployment (important)

• StatefulState (PetSets)

• DaemonSet

• Job
Whats a pod anyway?
Pod is group of containers

Containers run under the same Network and UTS


namespace (same hostname and net. interface)

Run under the same IPC namespace

Containers in a pod share the same IP address


(localhost) and port space

Pods can be seen as very very light VM-s


Basic objects for an app
• Deployment object

generate the pods with a label, and keeps them alive

• Service object

Grouping object that gives you a stable IP (virtual IP)


for the pods that have a certain LABEL

• (Config map - app configuration file)
