Kuerbernetes (k8s) is an open source container cluster manager. Kubernetes' primary goal is to provide a platform for automating deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers across a luster of hosts. Kubernetes was released by Google on July 2015.

Design overview

Kubernetes is built through the definition of a set of components (building blocks or "primitives") which, when used collectively, provide a method for the deployment, maintenance, and scalability of container-based application clusters.

These "primitives" are designed to be loosely coupled (i.e., where little to no knowledge of the other component definitions is needed to use) as well as easily extensible through an API. Both the internal components of Kubernetes as well as the extensions and containers make use of this API.

Components

The building blocks of Kubernetes are the following:

Cluster 
A cluster is a set of machines (physical or virtual) on which your applications are managed and run. All machines are managed as a cluster (or set of clusters, depending on the topology used).
Nodes (minions) 
You can think of these as "container clients". These are the individual hosts (physical or virtual) that Docker is installed on and hosts the various containers within your managed cluster.
Each node will run etcd (a key-pair management and communication service, used by Kubernetes for exchanging messages and reporting on cluster status) as well as the Kubernetes Proxy.
Pods 
A pod consists of one or more containers. Those containers are guaranteed (by the cluster controller) to be located on the same host machine (aka "co-located") in order to facilitate sharing of resources. For an example, it makes sense to have database processes and data containers as close as possible. In fact, they really should be in the same pod.
Pods "work together", like in a multi-tiered application configuration. Each set of pods that define and implement a service (like MySQL or Apache) are defined by the label selector.
Pods are assigned unique IPs within each cluster. These allow an application to use ports without having to worry about conflicting port utilization.
Pods can contain definitions of disk volumes or shares, and then provide access from those to all the members (containers) within the pod.
Finally, pod management is done through the API or delegated to a controller.
Labels 
Clients can attach "key-value pairs" to any object in the system (like Pods or Nodes). These become the labels that identify them in the configuration and management of them. The key-value pairs can be used to filter, organize, and perform mass operations on a set of resources.
Selectors 
Label Selectors represent queries that are made against those labels. They resolve to the corresponding matching objects. A Selector expression matches labels to filter certain resources. For example, you may want to search for all pods that belong to a certain service, or find all containers that have a specific tier Label value as "database". Labels and Selectors are inherently two sides of the same coin. You can use Labels to classify resources and use Selectors to find them and use them for certain actions.
These two items are the primary way that grouping is done in Kubernetes and determine which components that a given operation applies to when indicated.
Controllers 
These are used in the management of your cluster. Controllers are the mechanism by which your desired configuration state is enforced.
Controllers manage a set of pods and, depending on the desired configuration state, may engage other controllers to handle replication and scaling (Replication Controller) of X number of containers and pods across the cluster. It is also responsible for replacing any container in a pod that fails (based on the desired state of the cluster).
Replication Controllers (RC) are a subset of Controllers and are an abstraction used to manage pod lifecycles. One of the key uses of RCs is to maintain a certain number of running Pods (e.g., for scaling or ensuring that at least one Pod is running at all times, etc.). It is considered a "best practice" to use RCs to define Pod lifecycles, rather than creating Pods directly.
Other controllers that can be engaged include a DaemonSet Controller (enforces a 1-to-1 ratio of pods to minions) and a Job Controller (that runs pods to "completion", such as in batch jobs).
Each set of pods any controller manages, is determined by the label selectors that are part of its definition.
Replica Sets
These define how many replicas of each Pod will be running. They also monitor and ensure the required number of Pods are running, replacing Pods that die. Replica Sets can act as replacements for Replication Controllers.
Services 
A Service is an abstraction on top of Pods, which provides a single IP address and DNS name by which the Pods can be accessed. This load balancing configuration is much easier to manage and helps scale Pods seamlessly.
Kubernetes can then provide service discovery and handle routing with the static IP for each pod as well as load balancing (round robin based) connections to that service among the pods that match the label selector indicated.
By default, although a service is only exposed inside a cluster, it can also be exposed outside a cluster, as needed.
Volumes 
A Volume is a directory with data, which is accessible to a container. The volume co-terminates with the Pods that encloses it.
Name 
A name by which a resource is identified.
Namespace 
A Namespace provides additional qualification to a resource name. This is especially helpful when multiple teams/projects are using the same cluster and there is a potential for name collision. You can think of a Namespace as a virtual wall between multiple clusters.
Annotations 
An Annotation is a Label, but with much larger data capacity. Typically, this data is not readable by humans and is not easy to filter through. Annotation is useful only for storing data that may not be searched, but is required by the resource (e.g., storing strong keys, etc.).

API

Component services

The component services running on a standard master/node(s) Kubernetes setup are as follows:

  • Kubernetes Master
    kube-apiserver 
    Exposes Kubernetes APIs
    kube-controller-manager 
    Runs controllers to handle nodes, endpoints, etc.
    kube-scheduler 
    Watches for new pods and assigns them nodes
    etcd 
    Distributed key-value store
    DNS 
    [optional] DNS for Kubernetes services
  • Nodes
    kubelet 
    Manages pods on node, volumes, secrets, creating new containers, health checks, etc.
    kube-proxy 
    Maintains network rules, port forwarding, etc.

Setup a Kubernetes cluster

In this section, I will show you how to setup a Kubernetes cluster with etcd and Docker. The cluster will consist of 1 master host and 3 minions (aka nodes).

Setup VMs

For this demo, I will be creating 4 VMs via Vagrant (with VirtualBox).

  • Create Vagrant demo environment:
$ mkdir $HOME/dev/kubernetes && cd $_
  • Create Vagrantfile with the following contents:
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

require 'yaml'
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

$common_script = <<COMMON_SCRIPT
# Set verbose
set -v
# Set exit on error
set -e
echo -e "$(date) [INFO] Starting modified Vagrant..."
sudo yum update -y
# Timestamp provision
date > /etc/vagrant_provisioned_at
COMMON_SCRIPT

unless defined? CONFIG
  configuration_file = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'vagrant_config.yml')
  CONFIG = YAML.load(File.open(configuration_file, File::RDONLY).read)
end

CONFIG['box'] = {} unless CONFIG.key?('box')

def modifyvm_network(node)
  node.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vbox|
    vbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--nicpromisc1", "allow-all"]
    #vbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--natdnshostresolver1", "on"]
    vbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--nicpromisc2", "allow-all"]
  end
end

def modifyvm_resources(node, memory, cpus)
  node.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vbox|
    vbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", memory]
    vbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cpus", cpus]
  end
end

## START: Actual Vagrant process
Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|

  config.vm.box = CONFIG['box']['name']

  # Uncomment the following line if you wish to be able to pass files from
  # your local filesystem directly into the vagrant VM:
  #config.vm.synced_folder "data", "/vagrant"

## VM: k8s master #############################################################
  config.vm.define "master" do |node|
    node.vm.hostname = "k8s.master.dev"
    node.vm.provision "shell", inline: $common_script
    #node.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080
    node.vm.network "private_network", ip: CONFIG['host_groups']['master']

    # Uncomment the following if you wish to define CPU/memory:
    #node.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vbox|
    #  vbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "4096"]
    #  vbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cpus", "2"]
    #end
    #modifyvm_resources(node, "4096", "2")
  end
## VM: k8s minion1 ############################################################
  config.vm.define "minion1" do |node|
    node.vm.hostname = "k8s.minion1.dev"
    node.vm.provision "shell", inline: $common_script
    node.vm.network "private_network", ip: CONFIG['host_groups']['minion1']
  end
## VM: k8s minion2 ############################################################
  config.vm.define "minion2" do |node|
    node.vm.hostname = "k8s.minion2.dev"
    node.vm.provision "shell", inline: $common_script
    node.vm.network "private_network", ip: CONFIG['host_groups']['minion2']
  end
## VM: k8s minion3 ############################################################
  config.vm.define "minion3" do |node|
    node.vm.hostname = "k8s.minion3.dev"
    node.vm.provision "shell", inline: $common_script
    node.vm.network "private_network", ip: CONFIG['host_groups']['minion3']
  end
###############################################################################

end

The above Vagrantfile uses the following configuration file: 

$ cat vagrant_config.yml

  • Describe nodes with kubectl:
$ kubectl get nodes -o jsonpath='{.items[*].status.addresses[?(@.type=="ExternalIP")].address}'
$ kubectl get nodes -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{@.metadata.name}:{range @.status.conditions[*]}{@.type}={@.status};{end}{end}' | tr ';' "\n"

k8s.minion1.dev:OutOfDisk=False
Ready=True
k8s.minion2.dev:OutOfDisk=False
Ready=True

Working with our Kubernetes cluster

Note: The following section will be working from within the Kubernetes cluster we created above.

Create and deploy pod definitions

  • Turn off nodes 1 and 2:
minion{1,2}$ systemctl stop kubelet kube-proxy

master$ kubectl get nodes

  • Attempt to delete one of the three pods:
master$ kubectl get pods

nginx-www-ax41w   1/1       Running   0          11m

A new pod (nginx-www-3cck4) automatically started up. This is because the expected state, as defined in our YAML file, is for there to be 3 pods running at all times. Thus, if one or more of the pods were to go down, a new pod (or pods) will automatically start up to bring the state back to the expected state.

  • To force-delete all pods:
master$ kubectl delete replicationcontroller nginx-www
master$ kubectl get pods  # nothing

Create and deploy service definitions

Creating temporary Pods at the CLI

  • Make sure we have no Pods running:
master$ kubectl get pods
  • Create temporary deployment pod:
master$ kubectl run mysample --image=foobar/apache
master$ kubectl get pods

NAME                        READY     STATUS              RESTARTS   AGE
mysample-1424711890-fhtxb   0/1       ContainerCreating   0          1s

master$ kubectl get deployment 

NAME       DESIRED   CURRENT   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
mysample   1         1         1            0           7s
  • Create a temporary deployment pod (where we know it will fail):
master$ kubectl run myexample --image=christophchamp/ubuntu_sysadmin
master$ kubectl -o wide get pods

NAME                         READY     STATUS             RESTARTS   AGE       NODE
myexample-3534121234-mpr35   0/1       CrashLoopBackOff   12         39m       k8s.minion3.dev

  • Check on why the "myexample" pod is in status "CrashLoopBackOff":
master$ kubectl describe pods/myexample-3534121234-mpr35
master$ kubectl describe deployments/mysample
master$ kubectl describe pods/mysample-2812764540-74c5h | awk '/^Node/{print $2}'
k8s.minion2.dev/192.168.200.102

master$ kubectl delete deployment mysample
  • Run multiple replicas of the same pod:
master$ kubectl run myreplicas --image=latest123/apache --replicas=2 --labels=app=myapache,version=1.0.0
master$ kubectl describe deployment myreplicas 

Name:           myreplicas

master$ kubectl describe pods -l version=1.0.0
  • Cleanup:
master$ kubectl delete deployment myreplicas

Interacting with Pod containers

  • Create example Apache pod definition file:
master$ cat << EOF > apache.yml
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: apache
spec:
  containers:
  - name: apache
    image: latest123/apache
    ports:
    - containerPort: 80
EOF

master$ kubectl create -f apache.yml
master$ kubectl get pods -o wide

NAME                          READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE       NODE
apache                        1/1       Running   0          12m       k8s.minion3.dev
  • Test pod and make some basic configuration changes:
master$ kubectl exec apache date
master$ kubectl exec mypod -i -t -- cat /var/www/html/index.html  # default apache HTML
master$ kubectl exec apache -i -t -- /bin/bash
container$ export TERM=xterm
container$ echo "xtof test" > /var/www/html/index.html
minion3$ curl 172.17.0.2
xtof test
container$ exit

master$ kubectl get pods -o wide

NAME                          READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE       NODE
apache                        1/1       Running   0          12m       k8s.minion3.dev

Pod/container is still running even after we exited (as expected).

  • Cleanup:
master$ kubectl delete pod apache

Logs

  • Start our example Apache pod to use for checking Kubernetes logging features:
master$ kubectl create -f apache.yml 
master$ kubectl get pods

NAME      READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
apache    1/1       Running   0          9s

master$ kubectl logs apache

AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 172.17.0.2. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message

master$ kubectl logs --tail=10 apache
master$ kubectl logs --since=24h apache  # or 10s, 2m, etc.
master$ kubectl logs -f apache  # follow the logs
master$ kubectl logs -f -c apache apache  # where -c is the container ID
  • Cleanup:
master$ kubectl delete pod apache

Autoscaling and scaling Pods

master$ kubectl run myautoscale --image=latest123/apache --port=80 --labels=app=myautoscale

master$ kubectl get pods -o wide

NAME                           READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE       NODE
myautoscale-3243017378-kq4z7   1/1       Running   0          47s       k8s.minion3.dev
  • Create an autoscale definition:
master$ kubectl autoscale deployment myautoscale --min=2 --max=6 --cpu-percent=80

master$ kubectl get deployments

NAME          DESIRED   CURRENT   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
myautoscale   2         2         2            2           4m

master$ kubectl get pods -o wide

NAME                           READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE       NODE
myautoscale-3243017378-kq4z7   1/1       Running   0          3m        k8s.minion3.dev
myautoscale-3243017378-r2f3d   1/1       Running   0          4s        k8s.minion2.dev
  • Scale up an already autoscaled deployment:
master$ kubectl scale --current-replicas=2 --replicas=4 deployment/myautoscale

master$ kubectl get deployments

NAME          DESIRED   CURRENT   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
myautoscale   4         4         4            4           8m

master$ kubectl get pods -o wide

NAME                           READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE       NODE
myautoscale-3243017378-2rxhp   1/1       Running   0          8s        k8s.minion1.dev
myautoscale-3243017378-kq4z7   1/1       Running   0          7m        k8s.minion3.dev
myautoscale-3243017378-ozxs8   1/1       Running   0          8s        k8s.minion3.dev
myautoscale-3243017378-r2f3d   1/1       Running   0          4m        k8s.minion2.dev
  • Scale down:
master$ kubectl scale --current-replicas=4 --replicas=2 deployment/myautoscale

Note: You can not scale down past the original minimum number of pods/containers specified in the original autoscale deployment (i.e., min=2 in our example).

  • Cleanup:
master$ kubectl delete deployment myautoscale

Failure and recovery

master$ kubectl run myrecovery --image=latest123/apache --port=80 --replicas=2 --labels=app=myrecovery
master$ kubectl get deployments

NAME         DESIRED   CURRENT   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
myrecovery   2         2         2            2           6s

master$ kubectl get pods -o wide

NAME                         READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE       NODE
myrecovery-563119102-5xu8f   1/1       Running   0          12s       k8s.minion1.dev
myrecovery-563119102-zw6wp   1/1       Running   0          12s       k8s.minion2.dev
  • Now stop Kubernetes- and Docker-related services on one of the minions/nodes (so we have a total of 2 nodes online):
minion1$ systemctl stop docker kubelet kube-proxy

master$ kubectl get pods -o wide

NAME                         READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE       NODE
myrecovery-563119102-qyi04   1/1       Running   0          7m        k8s.minion3.dev
myrecovery-563119102-zw6wp   1/1       Running   0          14m       k8s.minion2.dev

Pod switch from minion1 to minion3.

  • Now stop Kubernetes- and Docker-related services on one of the remaining online minions/nodes (so we have a total of 1 node online):
minion2$ systemctl stop docker kubelet kube-proxy
master$ kubectl get pods -o wide

NAME                         READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE       NODE
myrecovery-563119102-b5tim   1/1       Running   0          2m        k8s.minion3.dev
myrecovery-563119102-qyi04   1/1       Running   0          17m       k8s.minion3.dev

Both Pods are now running on minion3, the only available node.

  • Start up Kubernetes- and Docker-related services again on minion1 and delete on of the Pods:
minion1$ systemctl start docker kubelet kube-proxy
master$ kubectl delete pod myrecovery-563119102-b5tim
master$ kubectl get pods -o wide

NAME                         READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE       NODE
myrecovery-563119102-8unzg   1/1       Running   0          1m        k8s.minion1.dev
myrecovery-563119102-qyi04   1/1       Running   0          20m       k8s.minion3.dev

Pods are now running on separate nodes.

  • Cleanup:
master$ kubectl delete deployments/myrecovery
