[[Kubernetes Workload Resources#Overview|Workload resource]] controllers create pods from [[#Pod_Template|pod templates]].
=Pod Template=
Pod templates are '''specifications''' for creating pods, and they are included in the manifests of the [[#Kubernetes_Workload_Resources|workload resources]]. Modifying the pod template or switching to a new pod template is detected by the workload resource controller, which usually shuts down the current running pods and replaces them with new pods built based on the new template. Each workload resource has its own rules for handling changes in the pod template.

Overview

Workload resource controllers create pods from pod templates.

Pod Template

Pod templates are specifications for creating pods, and they are included in the manifests of the workload resources. Modifying the pod template or switching to a new pod template is detected by the workload resource controller, which usually shuts down the current running pods and replaces them with new pods built based on the new template. Each workload resource has its own rules for handling changes in the pod template.

.metadata Elements

labels

A pod can be tagged with labels. This section contains labels applied to the pod created based on this template. If the template is part of a deployment manifest, the section contains the labels applied to pods created by the deployment, and they must match the deployment's spec.selector values.

Also see:

Kubernetes Manifest Metadata | labels

generateName

"generateName" can be used to append random characters at the end of the base name, thus generating a unique pod name.

.spec Elements

https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/v1.14/#podspec-v1-core

hostname

Optional field. If not specified, the hostname exposed to the processes running inside the pod will be the name of the pod.

restartPolicy

Optional field. See:

Container Restart Policy

serviceAccountName

The name of this pod's service account. Note that "serviceAccount" configuration element also exists, but it is deprecated. If not specified, defaults to the pod's namespace default service account.

ports

Contains an array specifying the ports exposed by the containers in this pod.

containerPort

protocol

name

An optional name given to the container port. If declared, it must be a IANA_SVC_NAME and unique within the pod. It can be used in the manifest of the associated service to designate the service's target port.

hostPort

Binds the container port to a host port.

env

Contains a list of name/value pairs representing the list of the environment variables to set in the container. In case of boolean variables, declare the boolean values as Strings ("true"/"false"), otherwise the template won't be processed correctly.

command

https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/inject-data-application/define-command-argument-container/#running-a-command-in-a-shell

Optional field. If not present, the docker image's ENTRYPOINT is used. If present, represents the entrypoint array of the container. Not executed within a shell, so if a shell is required, must be specified as below. Variable references $(VAR_NAME) are expanded using the container's environment. If a variable cannot be resolved, the reference in the input string will be unchanged. The $(VAR_NAME) syntax can be escaped with a double $$, ie: $$(VAR_NAME). Escaped references will never be expanded, regardless of whether the variable exists or not.

Example:

  ...
  command: ['sh', '-c', 'while true; do echo .; sleep 1; done']

Each array element is a string, and in the above case, the array element that follows the '-c' element is passed as one string to the shell to be executed.

Alternative syntax:

  ...
  command:
  - /bin/sh
  - -c
  - 'i=0; echo $i'

The single quotes are optional, the content that follows "-" will be interpreted as a single string:

volumes

List of volumes that can be mounted by containers belonging to the pod. Volumes can be of several types: persistent volume claim, host path, etc.
