Question:- Define a new Pod named web-server with the image nginx in yaml manifast.
expose the container port 80
To define a new Pod named "web-server" with the image "nginx" in a Kubernetes manifest file, you can use the following YAML code:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: web-server
spec:
containers:
- name: web-server
image: nginx
To expose the container port 80, you can use the "ports" field in the container specification. For example:
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: web-server
spec:
containers:
- name: web-server
image: nginx
ports:
- containerPort: 80
This will define a Pod named "web-server" with a single container based on the "nginx" image.
The container will expose port 80, which can be accessed from outside the Pod.
In the context of a Kubernetes Pod, "exposing a container port" means making the port available for communication with external entities. When a container port is exposed, it can be accessed from outside the Pod through the Pod's IP address.
In the YAML code provided in the previous response, the container is exposing port 80. This means that the container is listening on port 80 and will accept incoming traffic on that port.
Exposing a container port can be useful when you want to make a service or application running in the container available to other entities, such as other pods or external clients. For example, if the container is running a web server, exposing port 80 will allow clients to access the web server over the network by connecting to the Pod's IP address on port 80.
It's worth noting that exposing a container port does not automatically make the port accessible from outside the cluster. To allow external entities to access the port, you may need to use additional networking resources, such as Services or Ingress resources, to expose the port to the external network.
It's worth noting that this YAML code will only define the Pod and its container. To actually create the Pod and deploy it to a Kubernetes cluster, you will need to use the kubectl command-line tool or the Kubernetes API to submit the manifest file to the cluster.
For example, you can use the following command to create the Pod:
kubectl apply -f pod.yaml
Replace "pod.yaml" with the name of your manifest file. This will create the Pod and deploy it to the cluster.
Question:-
For the container, declare a startup probe of type httpGet. verify that the root context endpoint can be called. use the default configuration for the probe
Answer:-
To declare a startup probe for a container in a Kubernetes Pod, you can use the "livenessProbe" field in the container specification. A startup probe, also known as a liveness probe, is a Kubernetes feature that allows you to check the health of a container and determine whether it is ready to accept traffic.
To declare a startup probe of type "httpGet" that verifies that the root context endpoint can be called, you can use the following YAML code:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: web-server-liveness
spec:
containers:
- name: web-server-liveness
image: nginx
ports:
- containerPort: 80
livenessProbe:
httpGet:
path: /
port: 80
This will define a startup probe that sends an HTTP GET request to the root context endpoint (/) on port 80. If the request succeeds, the container is considered healthy and ready to accept traffic. If the request fails, the container is considered unhealthy and may be restarted or evicted from the Pod.
Another example of liveness Probe:-
By using the default configuration for the probe, you are using the default values for the probe's parameters. These default values include a initial delay of 0 seconds, a timeout of 1 second, and a period of 10 seconds between probes. These values can be customized by setting the "initialDelaySeconds", "timeoutSeconds", and "periodSeconds" fields in the probe specification.

The YAML file provided above is a configuration file for a Kubernetes pod.
It specifies the properties and settings for the pod, including the container image to use, the container port to expose, and the liveness probe configuration.
The liveness probe is a Kubernetes feature that is used to determine whether a container is healthy and should continue running.
It periodically executes a command in the container to check its status,
and if the command returns an error, the container is restarted.
The liveness probe in this configuration file is defined using the livenessProbe field. It specifies the command to execute (cat /usr/share/nginx/html/index.html) and the various parameters for the probe, such as the initialDelaySeconds, periodSeconds, timeoutSeconds, successThreshold, and failureThreshold.
These parameters control the frequency and behavior of the probe.
Overall, this YAML file defines a Kubernetes pod with a liveness probe that is configured to periodically execute a command in the container to check its status and ensure that it is healthy.
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: liveness-pod
spec:
containers:
- image: busybox
name: app
args:
- /bin/sh
- -c
- 'while true; do touch /tmp/heartbeat.txt; sleep 5; done;'
livenessProbe:
exec:
command:
- test `find /tmp/heartbeat.txt -mmin -1`
initialDelaySeconds: 5
periodSeconds: 30
The YAML file you provided is a configuration file for a Kubernetes pod. It specifies the properties and settings for the pod, including the container image to use and the liveness probe configuration.
The liveness probe is a Kubernetes feature that is used to determine whether a container is healthy and should continue running. It periodically executes a command in the container to check its status, and if the command returns an error, the container is restarted.
The liveness probe in this configuration file is defined using the livenessProbe field. It specifies the command to execute (test find /tmp/heartbeat.txt -mmin -1) and the various parameters for the probe, such as the initialDelaySeconds and periodSeconds. These parameters control the frequency and behavior of the probe.
The command specified in the liveness probe will execute the test command with the find /tmp/heartbeat.txt -mmin -1 argument, which will check for the presence of the /tmp/heartbeat.txt file in the container's filesystem. If the file is present and was modified within the last minute, the command will return a success status. Otherwise, it will return an error status.
The container in this pod is configured to run the while true; do touch /tmp/heartbeat.txt; sleep 5; done; command, which will create the /tmp/heartbeat.txt file and update its modification time every 5 seconds.
This will ensure that the liveness probe always finds the /tmp/heartbeat.txt file and returns a success status, indicating that the container is healthy.
Overall, this YAML file defines a Kubernetes pod with a liveness probe that is configured to periodically execute a command in the container to check for the presence of the /tmp/heartbeat.txt file and ensure that the container is healthy.
