So far on our journey into the world of Kubernetes we have been using the default Namespace. What is a Namespace? We can use Kubernetes Namespaces to group our Kubernetes objects into logical compartments. In this article we learn how to work with Namespaces!

So far in our Kubernetes journey we have not been able to talk to our applications in a convenient way. The time has come to expose our applications to the outside world through the use of a Kubernetes Service.

We continue our journey into Deployments and will perform an update, a rolling deployment, of an existing Deployment and see what is going on under the hood.

Now it is time to look at the Deployment object in Kubernetes. The Deployment is an abstraction on top of something called a ReplicaSet, and ultimately on top of our Pods. We’ll see how we can build redundancy and resiliency into our Pods by utilizing the Deployment object.

Time to learn a few more details about Kubernetes pods! We’ll look at port-forwarding, executing commands inside a container in our pod, specifying environment variables, and defining resource requests and limits!

Pods are the basic building blocks in Kubernetes. Learn what they are, why they are important, and how to work with them.
