Kubernetes Access

Access to the cluster is controlled using SUSE Rancher. You can login with your NCSA credentials. You should see a list of all the clusters you have access, you want to download the config for k8s-class

export KUBECONFIG=~/k8s-class.yaml
kubectl version --short
Flag --short has been deprecated, and will be removed in the future. The --short output will become the default.
Client Version: v1.24.15
Kustomize Version: v4.5.4
Server Version: v1.24.9

...

We can see that we have access to the cluster (running kubernetes 1.24.9)

Lets also check what other commands we can do

kubectl

...

Nodes

Time to see how many nodes we have. How do we get the list of the nodes

> kubectl get nodes
NAME                        STATUS   ROLES               AGE    VERSION
k8s-class-controlplane-01   Ready    controlplane,etcd   128m   v1.24.9
k8s-class-controlplane-02   Ready    controlplane,etcd   89m    v1.24.9
k8s-class-controlplane-03   Ready    controlplane,etcd   86m    v1.24.9
k8s-class-worker-01         Ready    worker              126m   v1.24.9

## Namespace

List all namespaces

<details>
  <summary>kubectl .......</summary>
 kubectl get namespace
</details>

```

Create a namespace

<details>
  <summary>kubectl .......</summary>
 kubectl create namespace kooper
</details>

Show namespace file

<details>
  <summary>kubectl .......</summary>
 kubectl get ns kooper -o yaml 
</details>

```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  annotations:
    cattle.io/status: '{"Conditions":[{"Type":"ResourceQuotaInit","Status":"True","Message":"","LastUpdateTime":"2023-06-25T13:35:36Z"},{"Type":"InitialRolesPopulated","Status":"True","Message":"","LastUpdateTime":"2023-06-25T13:35:36Z"}]}'
    lifecycle.cattle.io/create.namespace-auth: "true"
  creationTimestamp: "2023-06-25T13:35:35Z"
  finalizers:
  - controller.cattle.io/namespace-auth
  labels:
    kubernetes.io/metadata.name: kooper
  name: kooper

spec:
  finalizers:

```

Lets make our life easier, and use this namespace by default

```bash
kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=kooper
```
