Lesson 7: Kubernetes Objects

In Kubernetes, objects are the basic units of deployment and management. An object in Kubernetes represents a single entity or resource that a user wants to manage. Examples of objects include pods, services, deployments, and config maps. Each object has a unique name and a set of properties that define its behavior.

Objects are defined in YAML or JSON format and can be created, updated, and deleted using the kubectl command-line tool or the Kubernetes API.

One important concept to understand when working with Kubernetes objects is the concept of labels. Labels are key-value pairs that can be attached to objects to help categorize and organize them. For example, a user could attach a label to a set of pods indicating that they are part of a particular application or service.

When creating Kubernetes objects, it is important to follow best practices to ensure that they are reliable, scalable, and maintainable. Some best practices include:

• Defining objects in a declarative way using YAML or JSON files
• Using labels to organize and manage objects
• Using rolling updates to deploy changes to objects
• Using readiness and liveness probes to ensure that objects are healthy and available
