Port Forwarding

  • Usage: kubectl port forward TYPE/NAME [LOCAL_PORT:]REMOTE_PORT 
  • LOCAL_PORT is the port on your local machine running kubectl
  • REMOTE_PORT is the port on the target pod or service in the Kubernetes cluster
# For a service
kubectl port forward svc/my-service 8080:80

# For a deployment
kubectl port forward deploy/my-deployment 8080:80

K8s Cluster Monitoring

Kube-Prometheus-Stack

A set of Kubernetes manifests, Grafana dashboards, and Prometheus rules for monitoring Kubernetes clusters

kubectl create ns monitoring
helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo list
helm repo update
helm install prometheus-stack prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack -n monitoring

Get Grafana 'admin' user password by running:

kubectl --namespace monitoring get secrets prometheus-stack-grafana -o jsonpath="{.data.admin-password}" | base64 -d ; echo

Access Grafana local instance:

export POD_NAME=$(kubectl --namespace monitoring get pod -l "app.kubernetes.io/name=grafana,app.kubernetes.io/instance=prometheus-stack" -oname)
kubectl --namespace monitoring port-forward $POD_NAME 3000

Get your grafana admin user password by running:

kubectl get secret --namespace monitoring -l app.kubernetes.io/component=admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.items[0].data.admin-password}" | base64 --decode ; echo

Uninstall

helm uninstall prometheus-stack -n monitoring

Install with the custom values

values.yaml:

prometheus:
  prometheusSpec:
    retention: 15d
    serviceMonitorSelector: {}
alertmanager:
  alertmanagerSpec:
    replicas: 2
grafana:
  adminPassword: my-secure-password
  service:
    type: LoadBalancer

Install with helm

helm install prometheus-stack prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack -n monitoring -f values.yaml

FAQ

[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: Missing Authority Key Identifier 

Solution:

    原因：這問題可能發生在特定的 Cluster Platform，例如 AKS, Microk8s。 修復：以 Microk8s 為例，在 node 端執行 
    mkdir cadir
openssl genrsa -out cadir/ca.key 2048
openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key ca.key -sha256 -days 360 -out cadir/ca.crt -addext "keyUsage=critical,digitalSignature,keyCertSign"
microk8s.refresh-certs cadir
    重啟 node 主機

     

    Rollout & Rollback

    # 將deployment管理的pod升級到特定image版本
kubectl set image deploy/<deployment-name> <pod-name>=<image-path>:<version>
kubectl set image deploy/hello-deployment my-pod=zxcvbnius/docker-demo:v2.0.0
# 指令結尾加上 --record, 歷史紀錄會有完整升級指令內容
kubectl set image deploy/hello-deployment my-pod=zxcvbnius/docker-demo --record

# 查詢目前某deployment升級狀況
kubectl rollout status deploy <deployment-name>
kubectl rollout status deploy hello-deployment

# 查詢目前某deployment升級的歷史紀錄
kubectl rollout history deploy <deployment-name>

# 回滾Pod到先前一個版本
kubectl rollout undo deploy <deployment-name>
kubectl rollout undo deployment hello-deployment

# 回滾Pod到某個特定版本
kubectl rollout undo deploy <deployment-name> --to-revision=n
kubectl rollout undo deploy hello-deployment --to-revision=3

    TroubleShooting

    Use alpine
    # Get the ClusterIP of the pod
kubectl describe pod <pod-name> -n <namespace>

# Enter the alpine
kubectl run -i --tty alpine --image=alpine --restart=Never -- sh
apk add --no-cache curl
curl http://<ClusterIP>:<port>
