  echo -e "\n=== Kubernetes Status ===\n" && \

  kubectl get --raw '/healthz?verbose' && \

  kubectl version --short && \

  kubectl cluster-info; 

} | grep -z 'Ready\| ok\|passed\|running'

==========================================================

  Inspect the control plane

 $ kubectl get pods,services --all-namespaces

==========================================================

   Create a multinode cluster with exposed ports

 $ less example-kind-cluster.yaml | tee

==========================================================

   Create cluster with configuration

 $ kind create cluster --config example-kind-cluster.yaml

 $ kind get clusters //get cluster info

 $ docker container ls --all --size --filter name=^kind | grep -z "kindest"

 $ kubectl get nodes -o wide  //getting nodes list

 ==========================================================

   Inspect the control plane

 $ kubectl get pods,services --all-namespaces

===========================================================

   Create a deployment

 $ kubectl create deployment my-nginx --image=nginx //nginx image with deployment

===========================================================

   Expose the deployment with a service

 $ kubectl expose deployment my-nginx --type=NodePort --port=80

----------------------------------------------------------

   Confirm that the application objects have been created and are running:

 $ kubectl get pods,services

============================================================

   The service my-nginx is exposed as NodePort:

 $ PORT=$(kubectl get service my-nginx  -o jsonpath="{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}") && echo $PORT

 However, if we try to expose nginx server at that port we do not get a response

 $ curl http://$(uname -n):$PORT

​

we added the mapping to kind 32001 so we'll expose the service name public-nginx

on port 32001 NodePort;

 $ kubectl apply -f public-nginx.yaml

 $ kubectl get pods,services | grep -z 32001

--------------------------------------------------------------

Now curl command to that port:

 $ curl http://$(uname -n):32001 | grep -C1 "successfully"

===================================================================

  Kubernetes dashboard:

Now that the kubernetes is kind, you can install other helpful application

such as kubernetes dashboard, A common way to install kubernetes dashboard

is through Helm chart.

 $ helm version --short

-------------------------------------------------------------------

   Add the chart to helm:

 $ helm repo add kubernetes-dashboard https://kubernetes.github.io/dashboard/ && helm repo list

​

Add an admin user service account to grant the dashboard roles to access the cluster

resources and objects:

 $ kubectl create namespace kubernetes-dashboard && kubectl apply -f dash-auth.yaml

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Install kubernetes dashboard using Public Helm chart:

 $ helm install kubernetes-dashboard kubernetes-dashboard/kubernetes-dashboard \

   --version=5.4.1 \

   --namespace kubernetes-dashboard \

   --create-namespace \

   --values dash-values.yaml

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Once the dashboard pods reports Running we can access it using:

 $ kubectl get services,pods -n kubernetes-dashboard -l app.kubernetes.io/name=kubernetes-dashboard

​

we can administer our cluster using kubectl or using kubernetes dashboard:

 $ kubectl get services,pods -n kubernetes-dashboard -l app.kubernetes.io/name=kubernetes-dashboard

​

it will prompt us to provide access token at ay time we can run the following script:

 $ k8s-dash-token.sh

and done....
