In this lab you will complete a series of tasks to ensure your Kubernetes cluster is functioning correctly.
In this section you will verify the ability to encrypt secret data at rest.
Create a generic secret:
kubectl create secret generic kubernetes-the-hard-way \
--from-literal="mykey=mydata"
Print a hexdump of the kubernetes-the-hard-way
secret stored in etcd:
CONTROLLER="controller-0"
PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS=$(az network public-ip show -g kubernetes \
-n ${CONTROLLER}-pip --query "ipAddress" -otsv)
ssh kuberoot@${PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS} \
"ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl get /registry/secrets/default/kubernetes-the-hard-way | hexdump -C"
output

The etcd key should be prefixed with k8s:enc:aescbc:v1:key1
, which indicates the aescbc
provider was used to encrypt the data with the key1
encryption key.
In this section you will verify the ability to create and manage Deployments.
Create a deployment for the nginx web server:
kubectl run --generator=run-pod/v1 nginx --image=nginx
List the pod created by the nginx
deployment:
kubectl get pods -l run=nginx
output
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx 1/1 Running 0 19s
In this section you will verify the ability to access applications remotely using port forwarding.
Retrieve the full name of the nginx
pod:
POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods -l run=nginx -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
Forward port 8080
on your local machine to port 80
of the nginx
pod:
kubectl port-forward $POD_NAME 8080:80
output
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8080 -> 80
Forwarding from [::1]:8080 -> 80
In a new terminal make an HTTP request using the forwarding address:
curl --head http://127.0.0.1:8080
output
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/1.17.8
Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2020 12:15:34 GMT

Last-Modified: Tue, 21 Jan 2020 13:36:08 GMT
Connection: keep-alive
ETag: "5e26fe48-264"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Switch back to the previous terminal and stop the port forwarding to the nginx
pod:
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8080 -> 80
Forwarding from [::1]:8080 -> 80
Handling connection for 8080
^C
In this section you will verify the ability to retrieve container logs.
Print the nginx
pod logs:
kubectl logs $POD_NAME
output
127.0.0.1 - - [23/Feb/2020:12:15:34 +0000] "HEAD / HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "curl/7.68.0" "-"
In this section you will verify the ability to execute commands in a container.
Print the nginx version by executing the nginx -v
command in the nginx
container:
kubectl exec -ti $POD_NAME -- nginx -v
output
nginx version: nginx/1.17.8
In this section you will verify the ability to expose applications using a Service.
Expose the nginx
deployment using a NodePort service:
kubectl expose pod nginx --port 80 --type NodePort
The LoadBalancer service type can not be used because your cluster is not configured with cloud provider integration. Setting up cloud provider integration is out of scope for this tutorial.
Retrieve the node port assigned to the nginx
service:
NODE_PORT=$(kubectl get svc nginx \
--output=jsonpath='{range .spec.ports[0]}{.nodePort}')
Create a firewall rule that allows remote access to the nginx
node port:
az network nsg rule create -g kubernetes \
-n kubernetes-allow-nginx \
--access allow \
--destination-address-prefix '*' \
--destination-port-range ${NODE_PORT} \
--direction inbound \
--nsg-name kubernetes-nsg \
--protocol tcp \
--source-address-prefix '*' \
--source-port-range '*' \
--priority 1002
Retrieve the external IP address of a worker instance:
EXTERNAL_IP=$(az network public-ip show -g kubernetes \
-n worker-0-pip --query "ipAddress" -otsv)
Make an HTTP request using the external IP address and the nginx
node port:
curl -I http://$EXTERNAL_IP:$NODE_PORT
output
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/1.17.8
