Kubernetes Tutorial

Welcome to the Kubernetes tutorial! 🚀 This guide will walk you through the basics of setting up and managing a Kubernetes cluster.

What is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes, often abbreviated as K8s, is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers into logical units called pods, which can be managed collectively.

Getting Started

Here's how to begin with Kubernetes:

1. Install Kubernetes

   • Use Docker Desktop for quick setup
   • Install via Kubeadm on bare metal
   • Cloud Provider Options like AWS EKS or GCP GKE

2. Basic Commands

   kubectl get pods          # List all running pods
   kubectl apply -f config.yaml  # Deploy application
   kubectl delete service    # Remove a service
   

3. Cluster Architecture

   • Master Node: Manages the cluster (API server, etcd, controller manager)
   • Worker Node: Runs application containers (kubelet, kube-proxy)
   • Learn more about cluster components

Best Practices

• Use Helm for package management: Helm Documentation
• Monitor your cluster with Prometheus or Grafana
• Explore advanced networking concepts
