kubectl_usage.md

Use kubectl in the devops-toolkit

Kubernetes document

Some document to help you start with kubernetes (k8s)

• https://kubernetes.io/docs/home/
• https://github.com/tungbq/devops-basic/tree/main/topics/k8s

Run with devops-toolkit-cli

Start the container

Navigate to your workspace folder, then run:

devops-toolkit-cli init demo_kubectl01
devops-toolkit-cli run demo_kubectl01

# You now in the container terminal. Execute the kubectl command normally
kubectl --version

It will mount the workspace code to container and you then can execute desired scripts inside the devops-toolkit container.

Run with Docker command

Note

To use the existing container instead of creating one, use docker exec command instead of docker run

docker exec -it my_devops_toolkit /bin/bash

Common Run Modes

For instructions on common run modes, visit DevOps Toolkit Common Run Mode.

Use case 1: Use kube config from the host

Mount the .kube/config file from the host to container

docker run --rm --network host -it -v ~/.dtc:/dtc tungbq/devops-toolkit:latest
