Kubernetes Creating Multiple Container in a Pod (original) (raw)

Last Updated : 30 Mar, 2023

Kubernetes is a container management tool and it automates container deployment, load balancing, and container scaling. It is open-source and developed by Google in 2014 and written in Golang. All cloud providers adopt Kubernetes. It is scheduled runs and manages isolated containers that are running on virtual, physical, and cloud machine

Kubernetes Architecture

Kube API- Server -API - Server directly interacts with the user as per instruction written in the YAML file or JSON file and it is the front-end of the control plane

ETCD - It is a Consistent, highly available store and open-source distributed system. It stores the status of the cluster and metadata of all configurations as well as manages the critical data. The key feature of etcd:

Secure
Fully replicated
Fast
High Available

Controller Manager - The controller manager makes sure that the actual states of the cluster match to desired states

Kube - Scheduler - When the users make requests for the Creation and Management of pods, Kube-scheduler is going to take action on these requests. Kube-scheduler assigns any node to create and run pods

Pod - A pod is like a group of one or more containers deployed together on the same pod. IP address assignment with the pod, not the container that's why the good practice is to create one container in one pod. If a person has required then create multiple containers in the same pod.

Container - A running stage of the image with all required dependencies or software is called a container. It is lightweight and deployed within a minute. It does not require pre-allocation of RAM.

Kube-Proxy - Kube-Proxy assigns the unique IP address to each pod. In Kubernetes, the pod gets the address, not the container that's why it is a good practice to create one container in one pod.

Kubelet - Kubelet is running in the node and it is an agent. It manages and deployment the pods and nodes interact with the master with the help of Kubelet. It receives the instruction from the API server.

Create Multiple Containers in a Pod.

Step 1. Open your machine with successfully installed Kubernetes

Step 2. First of all, create a Manifest file. If a person wants to do anything in Kubernetes first required to create a Manifest. Manifest is a file using the YAML(Yet Another Markup Language)

$ vi multicontainer_._yml

manifest file

Press enter button then the editor will open
Then press the "i" button to type the YAML code in the editor

YAML Code for Creating Multiple Containers in a Pod:

kind: Pod apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: testpod1 spec: containers: - name: c00 image: ubuntu command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "while true; do echo Hello-Coder; sleep 5 ; done"] - name : c01 image: ubuntu command: ["/bin/bash', "-c" , "while true; do echo Hello-Programmer; sleep 5 ; done"]
