Daily “tips and tricks” — S01 E01 — Kubernetes
Today, I decided to help you by giving you some “tips and tricks”. Because the technologies and passions must be shared the most possible!
Use many aliases to play with your K8S cluster
It’s very important to be more efficient when you work with a (new) tool.
This is my term aliases and shortcuts:
Use “watch” to always have “up-to-date data”
Watch is a small bin that’s execute a program periodically.
As you can see above at the line 14. “Watch” is interesting because you have an up-to-date pod list.
Note:
You can increase or decrease the refresh interval (in seconds) with the “-n” argument.
Never forget the power of UI
K8S allows you to use a local proxy to view a beautiful user interface.
To access it, it’s very easy, you just have to execute the following line in your term:
kubectl proxy
Finally, you must go to this address: http://127.0.0.1:8001/ui/
Never neglect the power of this amazing tool! This UI is frequently updated.
