Multi-container Pods (10%)

Create a Pod with two containers, both with image busybox and command "echo hello; sleep 3600". Connect to the second container and run 'ls'

show

Easiest way to do it is create a pod with a single container and save its definition in a YAML file:

kubectl run busybox --image=busybox --restart=Never -o yaml --dry-run=client -- /bin/sh -c 'echo hello;sleep 3600' > pod.yaml
vi pod.yaml

Copy/paste the container related values, so your final YAML should contain the following two containers (make sure those containers have a different name):

containers:
  - args:
    - /bin/sh
    - -c
    - echo hello;sleep 3600
    image: busybox
    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
    name: busybox
    resources: {}
  - args:
    - /bin/sh
    - -c
    - echo hello;sleep 3600
    image: busybox
    name: busybox2
kubectl create -f pod.yaml
# Connect to the busybox2 container within the pod
kubectl exec -it busybox -c busybox2 -- /bin/sh
ls
exit

# or you can do the above with just an one-liner
kubectl exec -it busybox -c busybox2 -- ls

# you can do some cleanup
kubectl delete po busybox

Create pod with nginx container exposed at port 80. Add a busybox init container which downloads a page using "wget -O /work-dir/index.html http://neverssl.com/online". Make a volume of type emptyDir and mount it in both containers. For the nginx container, mount it on "/usr/share/nginx/html" and for the initcontainer, mount it on "/work-dir". When done, get the IP of the created pod and create a busybox pod and run "wget -O- IP"

Easiest way to do it is create a pod with a single container and save its definition in a YAML file:

kubectl run web --image=nginx --restart=Never --port=80 --dry-run=client -o yaml > pod-init.yaml

Copy/paste the container related values, so your final YAML should contain the volume and the initContainer:

Volume:

containers:
  - image: nginx
...
    volumeMounts:
    - name: vol
      mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html
  volumes:
  - name: vol
    emptyDir: {}

initContainer:

...
initContainers:
- args:
  - /bin/sh
  - -c
  - wget -O /work-dir/index.html http://neverssl.com/online
  image: busybox
  name: box
  volumeMounts:
  - name: vol
    mountPath: /work-dir

In total you get:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  labels:
    run: box
  name: box
spec:
  initContainers: #
  - args: #
    - /bin/sh #
    - -c #
    - wget -O /work-dir/index.html http://neverssl.com/online #
    image: busybox #
    name: box #
    volumeMounts: #
    - name: vol #
      mountPath: /work-dir #
  containers:
  - image: nginx
    name: nginx
    ports:
    - containerPort: 80
    volumeMounts: #
    - name: vol #
      mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html #
  volumes: #
  - name: vol #
    emptyDir: {} #
# Apply pod
kubectl apply -f pod-init.yaml

# Get IP
kubectl get po -o wide

# Execute wget
kubectl run box --image=busybox --restart=Never -it --rm -- /bin/sh -c "wget -O- IP"

# you can do some cleanup
kubectl delete po box
