Kubernetes Training Notes (Complete, Clean & Structured)

End-to-End Kubernetes Basics → Cluster Setup → Workloads → Services → Debugging → RC → Deployment → Scaling → Rollout

1. Introduction to Kubernetes

What is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source container orchestration platform used to automate:

Deployment
Scaling
Management
Healing (self-healing)
Updating (rollouts/rollbacks)

It ensures containerized applications run reliably on distributed systems.

Why Kubernetes?

Kubernetes solves real-world production problems:

Automated Scaling (Horizontal & Vertical)
Self-Healing (restarts failed pods)
Load Balancing
Zero-downtime Deployments
Automated Rollbacks
Service Discovery & Networking
Declarative configuration
Multi-cloud / Hybrid support

Kubernetes abstracts the infrastructure and lets developers focus on application logic.

How Kubernetes Works

A Kubernetes cluster has:

Control Plane (Master Node)
Worker Nodes

You interact using kubectl → API Server → Kubelet → Pod.

Workflow

Workstation (kubectl) → API Server → Scheduler → Kubelet (Worker) → Pod

Architecture of Kubernetes

Control Plane Components

API Server – central communication layer
etcd – distributed key-value store
Controller Manager – manages controllers (node, job, rc)
Scheduler – decides placement of pods
Cloud Controller Manager – optional cloud integrations

Worker Node Components

kubelet – node agent
kube-proxy – networking and iptables rules
Container Runtime – Docker, containerd, CRI-O

2. Kubernetes Cluster Setup (Step-by-Step)

Refer:

Master Node Setup

kubeadm init

Worker Node Setup

Join using:

kubeadm join 172.31.14.2:6443 --token ms44wg.80pd5dalimgmb7xe \
--discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:f1df7bb1cf8b8afcce7ffce4f9819ee7f3f9423228102b497cca877ab15c4c3e
Code language: CSS (css)

kubectl Architecture

Workstation (kubectl)  →   API Server  →  kubelet  →  Pod

3. Basic Kubernetes Workflow

Step 2 – Create Namespace

kubectl create ns dev
kubectl create ns qa
kubectl get ns
kubectl describe ns dev
kubectl delete ns dev
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

Step 3 – Create Pod

Example pod YAML:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: rajesh
  labels:
    app: helloworld
spec:
  containers:
  - name: devopsschool1
    image: scmgalaxy/nginx-devopsschoolv1
    ports:
    - name: nginx-port
      containerPort: 80

Commands:

kubectl create -f pod.yaml
kubectl get pods
kubectl describe pod rajesh
kubectl logs rajesh
kubectl exec -it rajesh -- /bin/bash
kubectl delete -f pod.yaml
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

Port-forward:

kubectl port-forward --address 0.0.0.0 pod/rajesh 8888:80

Step 4 – Create ReplicationController

RC = Ensures fixed number of Pod replicas

Example:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ReplicationController
metadata:
  name: rajeshrc
spec:
  replicas: 5
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: scmgalaxy/nginx-devopsschoolv1

Commands:

kubectl apply -f rc.yaml
kubectl get rc
kubectl get pods
kubectl edit rc rajeshrc
kubectl delete rc rajeshrc
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

Step 5 – Create Deployment

Deployment = RC + Versioning + Rollout + Rollback

Quick creation:

kubectl create deployment my-dep --image=scmgalaxy/nginx-devopsschoolv1 --replicas=3

Scaling:

kubectl scale --replicas=5 deployment/my-dep
kubectl scale --replicas=15 deployment/my-dep
kubectl scale --replicas=2 deployment/my-dep

Rollout History:

kubectl rollout history deployment/my-dep
kubectl edit deployment/my-dep
kubectl rollout undo deployment/my-dep --to-revision=1

Step 6 – Create Service

Expose deployment:

kubectl expose deploy my-dep --port=80 --target-port=80

List service:

kubectl get svc
kubectl describe svc my-dep
curl http://<ClusterIP>
Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Service types:

ClusterIP
NodePort
LoadBalancer

4. Kubernetes API Resources and CRUD

Kubernetes CRUD:

Action	Command	YAML
Create	`kubectl create`	`kubectl create -f file.yaml`
Read	`kubectl get`, `kubectl describe`	`kubectl get -f file.yaml`
Update	`kubectl edit`	`kubectl apply -f file.yaml`
Delete	`kubectl delete`	`kubectl delete -f file.yaml`

View all API resources:

kubectl api-resources

5. Kubernetes Troubleshooting & Debugging

Important Commands

Purpose	Command
Describe details	`kubectl describe`
Logs	`kubectl logs <pod>`
Shell into Pod	`kubectl exec -it <pod> -- bash`
Attach	`kubectl attach <pod>`
Port Forward	`kubectl port-forward pod/podname 8888:80`
Copy files	`kubectl cp file.yaml pod:/tmp`
Authorization test	`kubectl auth can-i create pod`
Events	`kubectl events`

6. Detailed Command History (Captured from your session)

All relevant commands have been consolidated, cleaned, and categorized:

Cluster & config

kubectl cluster-info
kubectl get nodes
kubectl config view
kubectl version
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

Pods

kubectl get pods
kubectl get pods -o wide
kubectl describe pod rajesh
kubectl logs rajesh
kubectl exec -it rajesh -- bash
kubectl delete pod <pod>
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

Namespace

kubectl create ns dev
kubectl delete ns dev
kubectl describe ns dev
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

Replication Controller

kubectl apply -f rc.yaml
kubectl get rc
kubectl edit rc rajeshrc
kubectl delete rc rajeshrc
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

Deployment

kubectl create deployment my-dep --image=scmgalaxy/nginx-devopsschoolv1 --replicas=3
kubectl scale --replicas=20 deployment/my-dep
kubectl rollout history deploy/my-dep
kubectl rollout undo deploy/my-dep --to-revision=1

Service

kubectl expose deploy my-dep --port=80 --target-port=80
kubectl get svc
curl http://<ClusterIP>
Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

7. Kubernetes Concepts Summary

8. Security View
