This document introduces Kubernetes, a platform for hosting Docker containers in a clustered environment, detailing its architecture, components, and features such as load balancing and auto-healing. It explains the role of Linux containers, Docker, and provides insights into Kubernetes' key concepts like pods, labels, and the API server. Additionally, it includes references and links for further exploration of virtualization and container technology.
Linux Containers
An operatingsystem–level virtualization
method for running multiple isolated Linux
systems (containers) on a single control host.

Linux Kernel Featuresused by Linux
Containers
● Namespaces
(mnt, pid, net, ipc, uts/hostname, user ids)
● cgroups
(cpu, memory, disk, i/o - resource management)
● AppArmor, SELinux
(security/access control)
● seccomp
(computation isolation)
● chroot
(file system isolation)

Docker
● A platformfor managing Linux Containers
● Began as an open-source implementation of
the deployment engine which powers
dotCloud
● Started in March, 2013
● Provided an easy to use API and powerful
container image management features
● Attracted the community very fast

Docker is builton
● cgroup and namespacing capabilities of
the Linux kernel
● Go programming language
(written in Go)
● Docker Image Specification
(for container image management)
● Libcontainer Specification
(namespaces, filesystem, resources, security, etc)
https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/README.md
Docker - HelloWorld
# Get one base Docker image
>docker pull ubuntu
# List Docker images available
>docker images
# Run hello world
>docker run ubuntu:14.04 echo "hello world"

Detached mode
# Runhello world in detached mode (-d)
>docker run -d ubuntu sh -c "while true; do echo
hello world; sleep 1; done"
# Get container’s ID
>docker ps
# Attach to the container
>docker attach <container-id>
# Stop/start/restart the container
>docker stop <container-id>

Problems with standaloneDocker
Load Balancer
Docker Containers
Docker Host
● Running a server cluster on a set of Docker containers,
on a single Docker host is vulnerable to single point of
failure!
Kubernetes
● Kubernetes isa platform for hosting Docker
containers in a clustered environment with
multiple Docker hosts
● Provides container grouping, load
balancing, auto-healing, scaling features
● Project was started by Google
● Contributors == Google, CodeOS, Redhat,
Mesosphere, Microsoft, HP, IBM, VMWare,
Pivotal, SaltStack, etc

Key Concepts ofKubernetes
● Pod - A group of Containers
● Labels - Labels for identifying pods
● Kubelet - Container Agent
● Proxy - A load balancer for Pods
● etcd - A metadata service
● cAdvisor - Container Advisor provides resource
usage/performance statistics
● Replication Controller - Manages replication
of pods
● Scheduler - Schedules pods in worker nodes
● API Server - Kubernetes API server
