FAQPage Schema

How do I generate a Kubernetes deployment manifest for a web application?▼

To generate a Kubernetes deployment manifest, define a Deployment resource in YAML specifying your container image, replicas, and ports. This Skill provides complete YAML examples for web applications, including Services and ConfigMaps, to establish foundational Kubernetes deployments.

What is the difference between Kubernetes ConfigMaps and Secrets?▼

Kubernetes ConfigMaps store non-sensitive configuration data like environment variables, while Secrets securely store sensitive information such as passwords and tokens. This Skill provides YAML examples demonstrating how to inject both into your application Pods.

How do I troubleshoot CrashLoopBackOff and ImagePullBackOff errors in kubectl?▼

Troubleshoot CrashLoopBackOff and ImagePullBackOff errors by using kubectl commands to describe Pods and check container logs. This Skill offers guidance on diagnosing common deployment issues like crashing containers and pending pods to resolve them.

When do I need a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler in Kubernetes?▼

You need a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) in Kubernetes when your application requires automated scaling based on CPU or memory usage. This Skill provides HPA YAML examples to help you configure automatic scaling for your Deployments.

Can I use kubectl to manage Kubernetes Services and Ingress together?▼

Yes, you can use kubectl to manage Kubernetes Services and Ingress together to expose applications externally. This Skill provides YAML manifests and commands for deploying Services and Ingress to route traffic to your Pods.
