00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,440
In this video, you'll learn how to run a container in Kubernetes.

2
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:17,480
Easy access to Kubernetes is provided by different cloud providers, or by using Minikube.

3
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,240
To get to know Kubernetes, you can deploy a Getting Started Kubernetes cluster in Google

4
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:24,000
Cloud as well.

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,879
And after deploying the Kubernetes cluster, you'll use the kubectl command to manage Kubernetes

6
00:00:29,879 --> 00:00:31,000
containers.

7
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,560
No matter how you run Kubernetes, kubectl is always the way.

8
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,439
Now it's not the purpose of Linux Plus to make you a Kubernetes guru.

9
00:00:40,439 --> 00:00:44,520
Kubernetes is complex and really requires additional training.

10
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:51,040
But I do want to show you how to run an orchestrated container in Minikube, which is a nice Kubernetes

11
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,619
platform which you can use for testing purposes.

12
00:00:54,619 --> 00:00:58,040
So on this virtual machine, I have Minikube available.

13
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,340
The only thing I need to do is Minikube start.

14
00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:05,860
And my first test is kubectl get all.

15
00:01:05,860 --> 00:01:10,180
kubectl is normally used to make connection to a Kubernetes cluster.

16
00:01:10,180 --> 00:01:14,940
And oh my goodness, here we can see that many resources have been created in this Kubernetes

17
00:01:14,940 --> 00:01:15,940
cluster.

18
00:01:15,940 --> 00:01:19,139
Yes, I've used this cluster before for other demos.

19
00:01:19,139 --> 00:01:25,580
Now I'm going to use kubectl run myapp, which is going to run a container image with the

20
00:01:25,580 --> 00:01:26,580
name myapp.

21
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,080
But I need to specify which image.

22
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,599
Well, that's easy.

23
00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:32,959
Minus minus image is nginx.

24
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,480
And that is creating the pod myapp.

25
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,080
Now I can use kubectl get pod myapp.

26
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,139
And what do we see?

27
00:01:40,139 --> 00:01:42,559
We see that the pod myapp is running.

28
00:01:42,559 --> 00:01:48,839
Ready 1 slash 1 means that there is one container running in this pod and the application is

29
00:01:48,839 --> 00:01:49,839
available.

30
00:01:49,839 --> 00:01:55,199
Now that's enough for the minimal introduction to Kubernetes that I wanted to provide here.
