# Kubernetes YAML Files This document provides explanations and details for various Kubernetes YAML configurations, describing how different Kubernetes objects such as Namespaces, Pods, and other specifications are defined and utilized. The examples cover creating namespaces, deploying pods, setting resource limits, and using node selectors. ## Namespace Definition ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Namespace metadata: name: my-ns ``` - **apiVersion**: Specifies the version of the Kubernetes API. - **kind**: Defines the type of Kubernetes object, here it's a `Namespace`. - **metadata**: Contains data that helps uniquely identify the object, including a `name`. This YAML file creates a namespace named `my-ns` which isolates a group of resources within Kubernetes. ## Pod Definitions ### Nginx Pod ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: namespace: my-ns name: nginx-pod labels: app: app1 zone: staging version: v1.0.1 app.kubernetes.io/product: nginx-pod spec: containers: - name: naginx-container image: nginx:latest ports: - containerPort: 80 ``` - **metadata.namespace**: Specifies the namespace the pod belongs to (`my-ns`). - **metadata.name**: The name of the pod (`nginx-pod`). - **metadata.labels**: Key-value pairs for organizing and selecting resources. - **spec.containers**: Specifies the containers within the pod. Each container has: - **name**: Container name. - **image**: The Docker image to run (`nginx:latest`). - **ports**: List of ports to expose from the container (`containerPort: 80`). This file defines a pod named `nginx-pod` running the latest Nginx container in the `my-ns` namespace. ### Test Pod 1 ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: namespace: my-ns name: testpod1 spec: containers: - name: c00 image: ubuntu command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "while true; do echo Hello-Coder; sleep 5 ; done"] - name: c01 image: ubuntu command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "while true; do echo Hello-Programmer; sleep 5 ; done"] ``` - **spec.containers.command**: Overrides the default command for the container, in this case, running a looped bash script that prints a message every 5 seconds. This defines a pod named `testpod1` with two Ubuntu containers in the `my-ns` namespace, each running a different command. ## Pod with Resource Requests and Limits ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: namespace: my-ns name: testpod1 spec: containers: - name: c00 image: ubuntu command: - /bin/bash - -c - while true; do echo Hello-Coder; sleep 5 ; done - name: c01 image: ubuntu command: - /bin/bash - -c - while true; do echo Hello-Programmer; sleep 5 ; done resources: limits: memory: "128Mi" cpu: "500m" requests: memory: "64Mi" cpu: "250m" ``` - **resources.limits**: Specifies the maximum amount of resources a container can use. - **resources.requests**: Specifies the amount of resources a container is guaranteed. This pod configuration defines resource limits and requests for the containers to ensure they do not exceed specific memory and CPU usage. ## Pod with NodeSelector ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: namespace: my-ns name: testpod3 spec: containers: - name: c00 image: ubuntu command: - /bin/bash - -c - while true; do echo Hello-Coder; sleep 5 ; done - name: c01 image: ubuntu command: - /bin/bash - -c - while true; do echo Hello-Programmer; sleep 5 ; done resources: limits: memory: "128Mi" cpu: "500m" requests: memory: "64Mi" cpu: "250m" nodeSelector: kubernetes.io/hostname: k8s2 kubernetes.io/disk: ssd ``` - **nodeSelector**: Ensures the pod is scheduled on nodes with the specified labels (`kubernetes.io/hostname: k8s2` and `kubernetes.io/disk: ssd`). This configuration places the pod on specific nodes that match the given labels. ## Simple Pod Templates ### Basic Pod ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: myapp labels: name: myapp spec: containers: - name: myapp image: resources: limits: memory: "128Mi" cpu: "500m" ports: - containerPort: ``` This is a template for a basic pod named `myapp` with configurable image and port settings. ### Nginx Pod ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: my-pod labels: app: MyApp spec: containers: - name: my-container image: nginx:latest ports: - containerPort: 80 ``` This defines a pod named `my-pod` running an Nginx container exposing port 80.
