Part 16: GCP/Kubernetes: Hands on with kubernetes Cluster.

In this post, we will see few kubernetes commands to start with.

It will help us to manage K8s/Kubernetes CLuster on any of the Cloud platforms like GCP, AWS, Azure, etc.

1. Get the list of all nodes.

saketalwar2@cloudshell:~ (second-abacus-334712)$ kubectl get nodes
NAME                                       STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION
gke-cluster-1-default-pool-1cdaa2b9-33g0   Ready       46m   v1.21.5-gke.1302
gke-cluster-1-default-pool-1cdaa2b9-65kf   Ready       46m   v1.21.5-gke.1302
gke-cluster-1-default-pool-1cdaa2b9-hhf4   Ready       46m   v1.21.5-gke.1302
saketalwar2@cloudshell:~ (second-abacus-334712)$

2. Get Cluster Server Information

saketalwar2@cloudshell:~ (second-abacus-334712)$ kubectl cluster-info
Kubernetes control plane is running at https://34.136.229.132
GLBCDefaultBackend is running at https://34.136.229.132/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/default-http-backend:http/proxy
KubeDNS is running at https://34.136.229.132/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy
Metrics-server is running at https://34.136.229.132/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:metrics-server:/proxy

3. Check our Kubernetes CLuster Information/Configuration.

aketalwar2@cloudshell:~ (second-abacus-334712)$ kubectl config view
apiVersion: v1
clusters:
- cluster:
    certificate-authority-data: DATA+OMITTED

4. Get the number of pods running.

saketalwar2@cloudshell:~ (second-abacus-334712)$ kubectl get pods
No resources found in default namespace.

5. Check out Kubectl version.

saketalwar2@cloudshell:~ (second-abacus-334712)$ kubectl version

saketalwar2@cloudshell:~ (second-abacus-334712)$

In the next post, we will see how to deploy pod on the GCP cluster nodes, and get this working.

Till now you have an idea of how to deploy K8s/Kubernetes on GCP and become familier with kubectl command
