Azure Kubernetes Service Flashcards
What is a Container constructed of?
A set of file system Layers constructed using the following:
1, Base layer: A container image starts with a base layer, which is usually a minimal root filesystem.
2, Additional layers: Each subsequent layer represents a set of changes to the filesystem, such as adding, modifying, or deleting files and directories.
- Read-only layers: These layers are stacked on each other in a read-only manner. Each layer only contains the changes from the previous layer.
- Union filesystem: When a container runs, these layers are combined using a union filesystem to create a single, coherent filesystem view.
- Copy-on-write: When a running container needs to modify a file, it uses a copy-on-write mechanism to create a new, writable layer on top of the read-only layers.
Where do we store container images?
Azure Image Registry
What is the name of the system responsible for:
- Deployment
- Autoscaling
- Update
- Storage
- Network integration
- Load Balancer
Orchestrator
How are updates handled in a containerized environment?
A new container is created using the use image, and the old container is deleted.
What are the critical parts that make Azure Kubernetes System?
- API Server
- Scheduler
- ECD
- Controllers
- Nodes (Workers)
I want to use Windows and Linux Containers. Can I use a single cluster?
Yes, But you need two separate pools, one Windows and the other Linux
What is the component of Kubernetes running on each Node?
Kublet
What cost tier is required for Acure Container Registry to have container geo-replication?
Premium tier, standard, and basic tiers do not support this feature.
I have multiple regions with Azure Kubernetes Service and wnat centralized management for the container images; what are my options?
You cna use a premium Azure container registry in multiple regions, which will have central management.
Can Azure Kubernetes Service be deployed across regions?
No, it is a regional service. You can, however, deploy an Azure traffic manager to manage traffic to a tow independent clusters deployed in two regions.
What are the types of network options for Kubernetes?
- Kubernetes networking
- Azure CNI
What is the primary function of the Azure Ingress Controller in an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster?
It manages external HTTP/S traffic to applications running in an AKS cluster by routing traffic based on defined ingress rules.
How does the Azure Ingress Controller improve performance and reliability in AKS?
By distributing incoming traffic across multiple backend pods or services through load balancing.
What type of routing does the Azure Ingress Controller support that allows directing traffic to specific services based on URL paths?
Path-based routing.
What feature of the Azure Ingress Controller offloads SSL/TLS encryption and decryption from backend services?
TLS termination.
