Most applications contain settings which differ from environment to environment, or just need to be able to have behavior changed without making changes to the code. Configuration allows applications to do this. Thankfully, Kubernetes provides a simple way to store configuration values in a cluster and reference them in a Pod specification.
In my previous posts regarding Kubernetes, I've written primarily about running containers in Pods on Kubernetes. Pods provide a basic building block in kubernetes that allows to execute containers within a Kubernetes cluster. In future posts, I'm going to move on to other concepts that can be built off of Pods within Kubernetes.
In my previous post on Pods, I gave a simple example running a container in Kubernetes. In this post, I will be discussing how to check pod health and keep them running with probes. Even the best software fails from time to time.
I've been working on gaining a deeper understanding of Kubernetes and refreshing my knowledge on the topic. I'll be writing several posts over the remainder of the year on Kubernetes. In my first post I'm going to talk about the basics of running a container in Kubernetes with Docker Desktop.
In a previous post, I talked in brief about containers, and their benefits. In this post I want to talk in brief about container orchestration before I get into more in depth technical topics on Kubernetes. Container orchestration is a way to manage running containers and the resources necessary for the containers.
I've been a fan of Docker Desktop for years. Docker compose was my go to for developing multi-container applications locally. However, while it was polished there was always a gap between building docker compose files and then running it in Kubernetes.
