Kubernetes: 7. Manual Scheduling

  • As new pod definition files are created, Kubernetes goes through them and looks for the property nodeName
  • If this property does not exist, then Kubernetes has the job of scheduling this pod
  • It then looks for the nodes that can host this pod and schedules it there
  • And the pod definition is updated with the nodeName where it is running
  • The property nodeName in the below definition file is optional.
  • If the property is specified then kubernetes automatically schedules the pod on the selected node. This is called manual scheduling.
  • Once the Kubernetes identifies the node on which to run, it creates a binding object that binds the pod with the node on which the pod will run

pod-definition.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
    name: myapp-pod
    labels:
        app: myapp
        location: IN

spec:
    nodeName: node01
    containers:
    - name: nginx-container
      image: nginx
    - name: backed-db
      image: redis

Manual Scheduling
  • If the scheduler is not running or there is no scheduler in kubernetes, then pods will remain in Pending state
  • To run the pods, the definition file has to be updated to add the node on which the pod can run
  • Remember that Kubernetes does not allow a nodeName to be specified once the pod is created
  • So for manual scheduling, nodeName has to be added to the yaml file before creating the pod  
  • So if the pod is already created with no scheduler, then a bind object has to be created
  • This has to be converted to a JSON format and sent to Kubernetes as a POST API request, mimicking what Kubernetes actually does. 

pod-binding-definition.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Binding
metadata:
    name: myapp-pod

target:
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Node
    name: node01

-----------------
{
"apiVersion": "v1",
"kind": "Binding",
"metadata": {
    "name": "nginx"
},
"target": {
"apiVersion": "v1",
"kind": "Node",
"name": "node01"
    }
}
----------------------

curl --header "Content-Type:application/json" --request POST --data '{ "apiVersion": "v1", "kind": "Binding", "metadata": { "name": "nginx" }, "target": { "apiVersion": "v1", "kind": "Node", "name": "node01" }}' http://$SERVER/api/v1/namespaces/default/pods/$PODNAME/binding/

How to know if scheduler is running ?
Check the pods running in the kube-system namespace
Here there is no scheduler running, so Pods will not be scheduled in this kubernetes

Azure Active Directory

Azure Active directory (AAD) is a Identity as a Service. This is a smaller subset of Active directory. This is not a replacement to active directory at all. Azure active directory provides the identity services to the mobile apps and web apps in Private cloud. These apps may be connected to on-premise applications. So an SSO is enabled for these apps. So Azure active directory has very simple functionality. Create Users, Groups. Map groups to network security groups and provide the authentication to the resources. When you login to Azure portal, right upper corner of the screen has username along with the domain. Domain or tenant or organization are used interchangeably. Management of Users and Groups: Cloud identity (create users manually)  Directory synchronized identifiers (users are synchronized)  Add users Adding a cloud identity users makes the user as Guest When you do directory synchronization on Premise AD Groups are synched up wi...

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...

underscore.js extend

underscore.js is a javascript utility library. Let us understand the extend method of this very useful library. _.extend is for extending a given object with all the properties of the passed-in object(s) Here is an example, we have three objects aObj, bObj, cObj and we want to combine them into single object. Using _.extend is a simple way of combining these objects. And before trying out the example don't forget to import the underscore.js library Now access the source code of underscore.js and look for the extend method. This is how it looks like This uses functional programming style.  createAssigner takes two inputs and returns a function. The two inputs are (1) keysFunc  (2) defaults Since it is returning a function, so a closure is formed, and the returned function remembers the two inputs Looking at the source code from the line (keys = keysFunc(source)) it is evident that keysFunc is a function itself. ...
