Kubernetes at Public Cloud

1. Google Container Engine – Google Kubernetes Engine is a powerful cluster manager and orchestration system for running your Docker containers.
2. ECS – Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a highly scalable, fast, container management service that makes it easy to run, stop, and manage Docker containers on a cluster.
3. EKS – Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes on AWS.

Kubernetes cli tools

1. kubectl – Main CLI tool for running commands and managing Kubernetes clusters.
2. JSONPath – Syntax guide for using JSONPath expressions with kubectl.
3. kubeadm – CLI tool to easily provision a secure Kubernetes cluster.
4. kubefed – CLI tool to help you administrate your federated clusters.
5. Minikube – This is the simplest way to get a Kubernetes cluster on your Mac or Windows machine.
6. Kops – kops helps you create, destroy, upgrade and maintain production-grade, highly available, Kubernetes clusters from the command line. AWS (Amazon Web Services) is currently officially supported, with GCE in beta support , and VMware vSphere in alpha, and other platforms planned.

kubernetes config reference

1. kubelet – The primary node agent that runs on each node. The kubelet takes a set of PodSpecs and ensures that the described containers are running and healthy.
2. Container runtime – Container runtime is Docker engine which resides in each node
3. kube-proxy – Can do simple TCP/UDP stream forwarding or round-robin TCP/UDP forwarding across a set of back-ends.

Cluster control plane (AKA master)

1. kube-apiserver – REST API that validates and configures data for API objects such as pods, services, replication controllers.
2. Cluster state store – All persistent cluster state is stored in an instance of etcd. This provides a way to store configuration data reliably.
3. kube-controller-manager – Daemon that embeds the core control loops shipped with Kubernetes.
4. kube-scheduler – Scheduler that manages availability, performance, and capacity.
5. Federation – A single Kubernetes cluster may span multiple availability zones.
6. federation-apiserver – API server for federated clusters.
7. federation-controller-manager – Daemon that embeds the core control loops shipped with Kubernetes federation

Kubernetes Add ons

1. DNS
2. Ingress controller
3. Heapster (resource monitoring)
4. Dashboard (GUI)
