to authenticate in gcp

1gcloud container clusters get-credentials cluster-1 --zone=us-central1-c

you can create an object declaratively for example when you have a yaml that looks like this

1apiVersion: v1
2kind: Pod
3metadata: 
4  name: nginx
5spec:
6  containers:
7    - name: nginx
8      image: nginx
9      ports:
10      - name: web
11        containerPort: 80

you can do when the name of the file is nginx.yaml

1kubectl apply -f nginx.yaml

creates a tunel for the port exposed from our pod to our shell so we can access it locally

1kubectl port-forward

eg nginx exposes port 80 and we map it to our local shell on 8080 so we can preview it.

1kubectl port-forward nginx 8080:80

you can delete object we created declaratively

1kubectl delete -f nginx.yaml

a yaml example of running multiple containers in the same pod

1apiVersion: v1
2kind: Pod
3metadata: 
4  name: multi
5spec:
6  volumes:
7    - name: shared-data
8      emptyDir: {}
9  containers:
10    - name: web-container
11      image: nginx
12      volumeMounts:
13        - mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html
14          name: shared-data
15      ports:
16      - name: web
17        containerPort: 80
18    - name: ftp-container
19      image: fauria/vsftpd
20      volumeMounts:
21        - mountPath: /pod-data
22          name: shared-data

here you can connect to the container using the command

1kubectl exec -it multi -c ftp-container -- /bin/bash

see details of a deployment

1kubectl describe deploymemt {nameofdeployment}

update an existing deployment

1kubectl apply -f {nameOfTheDeployent.yaml} --record

to see the status of our deployment. Note: nameOfDeployment is not the yaml file. Each deployment has a specific name

1kubectl rollout status {nameOfDeployment}

to undo a deployment. Note: nameOfDeployment is not the yaml file. Each deployment has a specific name

1kubectl rollout undo {{nameOfDeployment} }
