Slides Kubernetes Architecture and Install

The document outlines basic terms and components of Kubernetes, including its orchestration system, command-line interface (kubectl), and key elements like nodes and control planes. It discusses various installation methods for Kubernetes, such as using Docker Desktop, Rancher Desktop, or MicroK8s, and provides resources for trying Kubernetes in a browser. Additionally, it explains Kubernetes container abstractions like pods, controllers, services, and namespaces.

Basic Terms: System Parts

• Kubernetes: The whole orchestration system, aka "cluster"


• Short names: Written K8s. Sounds like "k-eights" or "kates"
• Kubectl: CLI to configure Kubernetes and manage apps
• Sounds, like "cube control" or "cube cuttle"
• Node: Single server in the Kubernetes cluster
• Kubelet: Kubernetes agent running on nodes
• Control Plane: The management nodes
• Includes services that manage the cluster
• Includes API server, scheduler, controller
manager, etcd, and more
Install Kubernetes Locally
• Kubernetes is a series of containers, CLI's, and configurations
• Many ways to install. Let's focus on easiest for learning
• Docker Desktop: Enable in settings
• Sets up everything inside Docker's existing Linux VM
• Rancher Desktop: In case you can't use Docker Desktop
• Your Own Linux Host or VM: MicroK8s or K3s
• Installs Kubernetes right on the OS
Kubernetes In A Browser
• Try http://play-with-k8s.com or katacoda.com in browser
• Easy to get started
• Doesn't keep your environment
Docker Desktop
• Configures Kubernetes Control Plane on top of Docker runtime
• Manages kubectl install and certs for connecting to K8s API
• Easily install, disable, and remove from Docker GUI
Rancher Desktop
• Similar feature set to Docker Desktop
• Usually chosen when you can't run Docker Desktop
• Be sure to enable dockerd (moby) and Kubernetes in settings
MicroK8s
• Installs Kubernetes (without Docker Engine) directly on Linux
• Uses snap (rather then apt or yum) for install
• Control the MicroK8s service via microk8s commands
• kubectl accessible via microk8s kubectl
• Add CoreDNS for services to work
• microk8s enable dns
• Add an alias to your shell (.bash_profile)
• alias kubectl="microk8s kubectl"
Kubernetes Container Abstractions
• Pod: one or more containers running together on one Node
• Basic unit of deployment. Containers are always in pods
• Controller: For creating/updating pods and other objects
• Many types of Controllers inc. Deployment, ReplicaSet,
StatefulSet, DaemonSet, Job, CronJob, etc.
• Service: network endpoint to connect to a pod
• Namespace: Filtered group of objects in cluster
• Secrets, ConfigMaps, and more
