Question 2 (10')
Create a Pod called redis-storage
with image: redis:alpine
with a Volume of type emptyDir
that lasts for the life of the Pod.
Specs on the below.
Details
- Pod named 'redis-storage' created
- Pod 'redis-storage' uses Volume type of emptyDir
- Pod 'redis-storage' uses volumeMount with mountPath = /data/redis
Solution
Use the command kubectl run
and create a pod definition file for redis-storage
pod and add volume.
Alternatively, run the command:
kubectl run redis-storage --image=redis:alpine --dry-run=client -oyaml > redis-storage.yaml
and add volume emptyDir
in it.
Solution manifest file to create a pod redis-storage
as follows:
---
apiVersion: v1

:
$ kubectl rollout history deployment nginx-deploy
Question 6 (15')
Create a new user called john
. Grant him access to the cluster. John should have permission to create, list, get, update and delete pods
in the development
namespace . The private key exists in the location: /root/CKA/john.key
and csr at /root/CKA/john.csr
.
Important Note
: As of kubernetes 1.19, the CertificateSigningRequest object expects a signerName
.
Please refer the documentation to see an example. The documentation tab is available at the top right of terminal.

usages:
- digital signature
- key encipherment
- client auth
To approve this certificate, run: kubectl certificate approve john-developer
Next, create a role developer
and rolebinding developer-role-binding
, run the command:
$ kubectl create role developer --resource=pods --verb=create,list,get,update,delete --namespace=development
$ kubectl create rolebinding developer-role-binding --role=developer --user=john --namespace=development
To verify the permission from kubectl utility tool:
$ kubectl auth can-i update pods --as=john --namespace=development
Question 7 (15')
Create a nginx pod called nginx-resolver
using image nginx
, expose it internally with a service called nginx-resolver-service
. Test that you are able to look up the service and pod names from within the cluster. Use the image: busybox:1.28
for dns lookup. Record results in /root/CKA/nginx.svc
and /root/CKA/nginx.pod
Details
- Pod: nginx-resolver created
- Service DNS Resolution recorded correctly
- Pod DNS resolution recorded correctly
Solution
Use the command kubectl run
and create a nginx pod and busybox pod. Resolve it, nginx service and its pod name from busybox
pod.
To create a pod nginx-resolver
and expose it internally:
kubectl run nginx-resolver --image=nginx
kubectl expose pod nginx-resolver --name=nginx-resolver-service --port=80 --target-port=80 --type=ClusterIP
To create a pod test-nslookup
. Test that you are able to look up the service and pod names from within the cluster:
kubectl run test-nslookup --image=busybox:1.28 --rm -it --restart=Never -- nslookup nginx-resolver-service
kubectl run test-nslookup --image=busybox:1.28 --rm -it --restart=Never -- nslookup nginx-resolver-service > /root/CKA/nginx.svc
Get the IP of the nginx-resolver
pod and replace the dots(.) with hyphon(-) which will be used below.
kubectl get pod nginx-resolver -o wide
kubectl run test-nslookup --image=busybox:1.28 --rm -it --restart=Never -- nslookup <P-O-D-I-P.default.pod> > /root/CKA/nginx.pod
Question 8
Create a static pod on node01
called nginx-critical
with image nginx
and make sure that it is recreated/restarted automatically in case of a failure.
Use /etc/kubernetes/manifests
as the Static Pod path for example.
Details
- static pod configured under /etc/kubernetes/manifests ?
- Pod nginx-critical-node01 is up and running
Solution
To create a static pod called nginx-critical
by using below command:
kubectl run nginx-critical --image=nginx --dry-run=client -o yaml > static.yaml
Copy the contents of this file or use scp
command to transfer this file from controlplane
to node01
node.
root@controlplane:~# scp static.yaml node01:/root/
To know the IP Address of the node01
node:
root@controlplane:~# kubectl get nodes -o wide
# Perform SSH
root@controlplane:~# ssh node01
OR
root@controlplane:~# ssh <IP of node01>
On node01
node:
Check if static pod directory is present which is /etc/kubernetes/manifests
, if it's not present then create it.
root@node01:~# mkdir -p /etc/kubernetes/manifests
Add that complete path to the staticPodPath
field in the kubelet config.yaml
file.
root@node01:~# vi /var/lib/kubelet/config.yaml
now, move/copy the static.yaml to path /etc/kubernetes/manifests/
.
root@node01:~# cp /root/static.yaml /etc/kubernetes/manifests/
Go back to the controlplane
node and check the status of static pod:
root@node01:~# exit
logout
root@controlplane:~# kubectl get pods
