Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) provides a managed Kubernetes environment on Google Cloud. In this hands-on class, I created a GKE Standard cluster, explored its nodes and underlying Compute Engine VMs, deployed an NGINX Pod, created a ReplicationController, tested self-healing, and finally simulated node removal. This practical exercise helped me understand an important Kubernetes principle: Kubernetes continuously works to maintain the desired state of our applications. 1. What is a Kubernetes
Tag: ReplicationController
In this blog, I will demonstrate: What is ReplicationController? A ReplicationController (RC) ensures that a specified number of Pod replicas are always running. If a Pod crashes or is deleted accidentally, Kubernetes automatically creates another Pod. Responsibilities Lab-1: Create a Single Pod Create an nginx Pod. Output Check the Pod. Output Delete the Pod Output Check again. Output Notice that Kubernetes does not recreate the Pod because it is an
