Introduction

We will be going over some higher-level abstractions available to us in Kubernetes. Make sure you have read the slides before going through this to have a general understanding.

Objectives

This guide will go over Workloads, the higher-level Kubernetes objects that manage pods, or other higher-level objects.

Make sure you have read the slides before going through this to have a general understanding.

Getting started:

1. Copy the starter code from here into a new, private repository in your personal GitHub account. When adding a collaborator, be sure to add the instructor ("CSCC-Instructor").

2. You need minikube up and running. See minikube start for installation instructions.

3. Start minikube using the command:

   $ minikube start
   

4. Please ensure your minikube namespace is completely clean. You can do it using the kubectl delete <resource> <name> command or go with the scorched earth method and run ...

   $ minikube stop
   $ minikube delete
   $ minikube start

Understanding the starter code

This repository contains five exercises/tasks. Do them in order.

1. replica_set
2. deployment
3. daemon_set
4. stateful_set
5. jobs

Within each directory, there is a readme with the exercise. Follow the directions and update (if required) the provided manifest in each task directory under manifests. There is also a worksheet in each directory that you will use to record information and answer questions while doing the exercise.
