Usage: apt-mark [options] {auto|manual} pkg1 [pkg2 ...]

apt-mark is a simple command line interface for marking packages
as manually or automatically installed. It can also be used to
manipulate the dpkg(1) selection states of packages, and to list
all packages with or without a certain marking.

Your Kubernetes control-plane has initialized successfully!

To start using your cluster, you need to run the following as a regular user:

  mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
  sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
  sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config

You should now deploy a pod network to the cluster.
Run "kubectl apply -f [podnetwork].yaml" with one of the options listed at:
  https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/addons/

Then you can join any number of worker nodes by running the following on each as root:

kubeadm join 10.0.1.101:6443 --token xtpkvj.e81gaeg0v18shctg \
    --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:6c79fda4db86da060f083b35def6c39790c47f6533ab8f7ebb6ea30c2c2af6a3

Metric Server

·4 mins
For my local K8S cluster of 4 nodes I wanted to get the resource usage metrics. From the official documentation of kubernetes.io These metrics can be accessed either directly by the user with the kubectl top command, or by a controller in the cluster, for example Horizontal Pod Autoscaler, to make decisions. https://kubernetes.io

Writing Helm Charts

Helm is a dedicated package manager for Kubernetes. Although the Kubernetes objects are deployed in YAML’s there was a need to package and club them together and customise the deployment (not the K8S deployment).

Helm Charts: Packaging

Every software cycle includes packaging; which essentially describes how the software written is packaged and shared. For the software built for Containers Helm is a popular choice of packaging the scripts.
