Best Practices

Security Best Practices

  • Secure inter-service communication (one way is to use Istio to provide mutual TLS)
  • Isolate different resources into separate namespaces based on some logical groups
  • Use supported container runtime (if you use Docker then drop it because it's deprecated. You might want to CRI-O as an engine and podman for CLI)
  • Test properly changes to the cluster (e.g. consider using Datree to prevent kubernetes misconfigurations)
  • Limit who can do what (by using for example OPA gatekeeper) in the cluster
  • Use NetworkPolicy to apply network security
  • Consider using tools (e.g. Falco) for monitoring threats

CheatSheet

Minikube

  • Minikube version: minikube version
  • Start cluster: minikube start
  • Delete cluster: minikube delete

Common Kubectl Operations

  • Create objects defined in a YAML: kubectl apply -f rs.yaml

Service Accounts

  • List service accounts: kubectl get serviceaccounts

Cluster

  • Cluster version: kubectl version
  • Cluster information: kubectl cluster-info
  • List nodes: kubectl get nodes

Pods

  • List of Pods in current namespace: kubectl get po

  • List of Pods in all amespaces: kubectl get po --all-namespaces

  • Get containers names: kubectl get po <POD_NAME> -o jsonpath="{.spec.containers[*].name}"

  • Create a Pod from file: kubectl create -f pod_definition.yaml

  • Delete a Pod using a YAML definition: kubectl delete -f pod_definition.yaml

  • Delete a Pod using the Pod name: kubectl delete <POD_NAME>

  • Delete a Pod instantly: kubectl delete <POD_NAME> --grace-period=0 --force

  • Execute commands inside a container: kubectl exec -it -c <CONTAINER_NAME> <POD_NAME> ls

  • Display logs of a Pod: kubectl logs <POD_NAME>

  • Display logs of a specific container in a Pod: kubectl logs <POD_NAME> -c <CONTAINER_NAME>

  • Get Pod name based on specific labels

POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pod \
--no-headers \
-o=custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name \
-l type=api,service=some-service \
| tail -1)

User

  • Creating a new user
openssl genrsa -out user.key 2048 # create key
openssl req key user.key user.csr -subj "/CN=user /O=sgroup" # create csr
openssl x509 -req -in user.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateseral -out user.crt -days 365
kubectl config set-credentials myuser --client-certificates=$PWD/user.crt --client-key=$PWD/user.key
kubectl config set-context myuser-context --cluster=k8s-cluster --user=user

Service

  • Expose a ReplicaSet: kubectl expose rs REPLICASET_NAME --name=SERVICE_NAME --target-port=PORT --type=NodePort/SOME_OTHER_SERVICE_TYPE

Deployment

  • Create and delete a deployment in one step:
$ kubectl create deployment demo --image=cloudnatived/demo:hello

$ kubectl get pods --selector app=demo

$ kubectl delete pods --selector app=demo

$ kubectl delete all --selector app=demo

Aliases

  • Use kubectl aliases to speed up and reduce typo errors, practice these alaises early at your work and study for the exam. some example aliases:
alias k='kubectl'
alias kg='kubectl get'
alias kgpo='kubectl get pod'
alias kcpyd='kubectl create pod -o yaml --dry-run=client'
alias ksysgpo='kubectl --namespace=kube-system get pod'

alias kd='kubectl delete'
alias kdf='kubectl delete -f'
## for quick deletes you can add --force --grace-period=0  **Not sure if it is a good idea if you are in a production cluster**
alias krmgf='kubectl delete --grace-period 0 --force'
alias kgsvcoyaml='kubectl get service -o=yaml'
alias kgsvcwn='watch kubectl get service --namespace'
alias kgsvcslwn='watch kubectl get service --show-labels --namespace'

#example usage of aliases
krmgf nginx-8jk71    # kill pod nginx-8jk71 using grace period 0 and force
