Kubernetes: 18. Rollout and Rollback

Deployment

  • When a deployment is created, it triggers a rollout
  • Rollout creates a new revision (version)
  • In the future when new deployment is created,  a new rollout is created
  • The new rollout creates one more "new" version
  • These versions help to keep track of the changes and rollback if necessary
Deployment Strategy
  • First strategy is delete and recreate strategy. 
  • Delete all the existing pods and deploy the new updated pods
  • But this comes with application downtime
  • Second strategy and default strategy is Rolling update strategy
  • Kubernetes deletes one pod at a time in the older version and in its place creates a one pod at a time in the newer version
Update Strategy
  • Updates can be many things like updating the labels, docker image, replicas etc
  • These are directly updated into the deployment file and the changes are applied
  • When the changes are applied using kubectl apply command, a new rollout and a new revision is created
  • Another way to update the image name is to use the kubectl set image command. This will update the image name in the deployment. [CHECK THIS]
  • Using kubectl describe deployment on the recreate and rollout upgrade strategy gives insight about the deployment strategy
  • For recreate we can see that kubernetes creates the new replicaset, sets the old replicaset to zero
  • For rollout upgrade we can see that kubernetes decrements one replica at a time in old replicaset and increments one replica at a time in the new replicaset
  • At the end of the rollout the first replicaset will have 0 pods and the new replicaset have the desired pods
  • Now when we undo a rollback of deployment kubernetes sets replicas to 0 in the new replicaset and the desired number in the older replica set
  • At the end of the undo rollout the first replicaset will have desired pods and the new replicaset have the 0 pods

kubectl create -f <deployment-file>.yaml
-> Create a new deployment

kubectl get -f <deployment-file>.yaml
-> Get the status of the deployment

kubectl apply -f <deployment-definition>.yaml
-> Apply the new changes in the deployment file

kubectl rollout status deployment/<deployment-name> -n <namespace>
-> Get the rollout status of the deployment

kubectl rollout history deployment/<deployment-name> -n <namespace>
-> Get the rollout history of the deployment

kubectl set image deployment/<deployment-name> <container-name>=<new-image> -n <namespace>
-> Update the image name in the deployment file

kubectl get replicaset -n <namespace>
-> Gets the replicaset for the old and new deployments

kubectl rollout undo deployment/<deployment-name> -n <namespace>
-> Rollback the latest deployment

Kubernetes: 15. Multiple Schedulers

Custom Scheduler Kubernetes allows to create custom schedulers There can be multiple schedulers running at a same time apart from the default scheduler or A custom scheduler can replace the default kube-scheduler to become the default one So a few pods that requires additional checks apart from taints and toleration, node affinity can go through the custom scheduler before getting scheduled on the node Whereas the rest of the pods can go through the default kube-scheduler Create Custom Scheduler We can either download the kube-scheduler and run it as a service or alternatively create it using a static pod Below here we are downloading the binaries to run it The property scheduler-name is used to define the name of the scheduler, if not set then it will be defaulted to default-scheduler For your custom schedulers, update this property name to set a custom name for your scheduler For Static pods, the name can be updated directly in the pod-definition file Use kubectl create -f <pod-de...

Kubernetes: 19. Configure Application

Configuring application consists of Configuring commands and arguments on applications Configuring environment variables Configuring secrets Docker Commands docker run ubuntu  -> Runs ubuntu container and exit, container CMD is set to [bash], so the container quitely exits docker run ubuntu echo "Hello World" -> Runs ubuntu container, prints "Hello World" exits quitely. To update the default settings, create your own image from the base image lets call this ubuntu-sleeper image FROM ubuntu CMD sleep 5 CMD can also be mentioned in the JSON format like CMD ["sleep", "5"] Note that with JSON format the first element should always be the command to execute,  for eg, it CANNOT be ["sleep 5"] Run build the new ubuntu-sleeper image and run the new image docker build -t ubuntu-sleeper .  -> Build the image docker run ubuntu-sleeper -> Run the new image So the new image will launch ubuntu container, sleep for 5 seconds and quitely ex...

Kubernetes: 8. Labels & Selectors

Labels Labels are a way of grouping the objects While Kubernetes understands the objects it create, it is easier to identify the objects by using custom labels With labels you group the objects by types (Pods, Services, ReplicaSet etc) or by Applications For a pod, labels are defined under the metadata section Selectors Selectors are used to filter the objects using labels defined on them Using kubectl and selector pods can be listed by filtering on the labels attached to them If a Selector has multiple labels, they are understood as logical AND, which means pods must match all labels. pod-definition.yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata:      name: myapp-pod      labels:           app: myapp           location: IN spec:      containers:      - name: nginx-container        image: nginx kubectl get pods ...
