  • The application key is a random, 32-character string stored in the APP_KEY key in your .env file.
  • Once your app is running, there's one place it uses the APP_KEY: cookies.
  • Laravel uses the key for all encrypted cookies, including the session cookie, before handing them off to the user's browser, and it uses it to decrypt cookies read from the browser.
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • Encrypted cookies are an important security feature in Laravel.
  • All of this encryption and decryption is handled in Laravel by the Encrypter using PHP's built-in security tools, including OpenSSL.
  • Passwords are not encrypted, they are hashed.
  • Laravel's passwords are hashed using Hash::make() or bcrypt(), neither of which use APP_KEY.
  • Crypt (symmetric encryption) and Hash (one-way cryptographic hashing).
  • Laravel uses this same method for cookies, both the sender and receiver, using APP_KEY as the encryption key.
  • something like user passwords, you should never have a way to decrypt them. Ever.
  • Unique: The collision rate (different inputs hashing to the same output) should be very small
  • Laravel hashing implements the native PHP password_hash() function, defaulting to a hashing algorithm called bcrypt.
  • a one-way hash, we cannot decrypt it. All that we can do is test against it.
  • When the user with this password attempts to log in, Laravel hashes their password input and uses PHP’s password_verify() function to compare the new hash with the database hash
  • User password storage should never be reversible, and therefore doesn’t need APP_KEY at all.
  • Any good credential management strategy should include rotation: changing keys and passwords on a regular basis
  • update the key on each server.
  • their sessions invalidated as soon as you change your APP_KEY.
  • make and test a plan to decrypt that data with your old key and re-encrypt it with the new key.

  • Make sure you use full disk encryption and never stand up from your machine without locking it, and make sure you keep your local machine patched.
  • I'm more focused on just stealing your keys from you regardless of length
  • attacks that aren't after your keys specifically, e.g. your home directory gets stolen.
  • ...19 more annotations...
  • ED25519 is more vulnerable to quantum computation than is RSA
  • best practice to be using a hardware token
  • to use a yubikey via gpg: with this method you use your gpg subkey as an ssh key
  • sit down and spend an hour thinking about your backup and recovery strategy first
  • never share a private keys between physical devices
  • allows you to revoke a single credential if you lose (control over) that device
  • If a private key ever turns up on the wrong machine, you *know* the key and both source and destination machines have been compromised.
  • centralized management of authentication/authorization
  • I have setup a VPS, disabled passwords, and setup a key with a passphrase to gain access. At this point my greatest worry is losing this private key, as that means I can't access the server.What is a reasonable way to backup my private key?
  • a mountable disk image that's encrypted
  • a system that can update/rotate your keys across all of your servers on the fly in case one is compromised or assumed to be compromised.
  • different keys for different purposes per client device
  • fall back to password plus OTP
  • relying completely on the security of your disk, against either physical or cyber.
  • It is better to use a different passphrase for each key but it is also less convenient unless you're using a password manager (personally, I'm using KeePass)
  • - RSA is pretty standard, and generally speaking is fairly secure for key lengths >=2048. RSA-2048 is the default for ssh-keygen, and is compatible with just about everything.
  • public-key authentication has somewhat unexpected side effect of preventing MITM per this security consulting firm
  • Disable passwords and only allow keys even for root with PermitRootLogin without-password
  • You should definitely use a different passphrase for keys stored on separate computers,

  • --from-file
  • You can also create a Secret in a file first, in json or yaml format, and then create that object.
  • The Secret contains two maps: data and stringData.
  • The data field is used to store arbitrary data, encoded using base64.
  • Kubernetes automatically creates secrets which contain credentials for accessing the API and it automatically modifies your pods to use this type of secret.

  • The keys of data and stringData must consist of alphanumeric characters, ‘-’, ‘_’ or ‘.’.
  • Newlines are not valid within these strings and must be omitted.
  • When using the base64 utility on Darwin/macOS users should avoid using the -b option to split long lines.

  • Secrets can be mounted as data volumes or be exposed as environment variablesContainer environment variables are name=value pairs that provide useful information into containers running in a Pod. to be used by a container in a pod.
  • Multiple pods can reference the same secret.
  • Each key in the secret data map becomes the filename under mountPath
  • each container needs its own volumeMounts block, but only one .spec.volumes is needed per secret
  • use .spec.volumes[].secret.items field to change target path of each key:
  • If .spec.volumes[].secret.items is used, only keys specified in items are projected. To consume all keys from the secret, all of them must be listed in the items field.
  • You can also specify the permission mode bits files part of a secret will have. If you don’t specify any, 0644 is used by default.
  • JSON spec doesn’t support octal notation, so use the value 256 for 0400 permissions.
  • Inside the container that mounts a secret volume, the secret keys appear as files and the secret values are base-64 decoded and stored inside these files.

  • Individual secrets are limited to 1MiB in size.
  • Kubelet only supports use of secrets for Pods it gets from the API server.
  • Secrets must be created before they are consumed in pods as environment variables unless they are marked as optional.
  • References to Secrets that do not exist will prevent the pod from starting.
  • References via secretKeyRef to keys that do not exist in a named Secret will prevent the pod from starting.
  • Once a pod is scheduled, the kubelet will try to fetch the secret value.

    "The YubiKey 4 is the strong authentication bullseye the industry has been aiming at for years, enabling one single key to secure an unlimited number of applications. Yubico's 4th generation YubiKey is built on high-performance secure elements. It includes the same range of one-time password and public key authentication protocols as in the YubiKey NEO, excluding NFC, but with stronger public/private keys, faster crypto operations and the world's first touch-to-sign feature. With the YubiKey 4 platform, we have further improved our manufacturing and ordering process, enabling customers to order exactly what functions they want in 500+ unit volumes, with no secrets stored at Yubico or shared with a third-party organization. The best part? An organization can securely customize 1,000 YubiKeys in less than 10 minutes. For customers who require NFC, the YubiKey NEO is our full-featured key with both contact (USB) and contactless (NFC, MIFARE) communications."

  • Services are assumed to have virtual IPs only routable within the cluster network.
  • Ingress exposes HTTP and HTTPS routes from outside the cluster to services within the cluster.
  • Traffic routing is controlled by rules defined on the Ingress resource.
  • An Ingress can be configured to give Services externally-reachable URLs, load balance traffic, terminate SSL / TLS, and offer name based virtual hosting.

  • An emptyDir volume is first created when a Pod is assigned to a Node, and exists as long as that Pod is running on that node.
  • When a Pod is removed from a node for any reason, the data in the emptyDir is deleted forever.
  • By default, emptyDir volumes are stored on whatever medium is backing the node - that might be disk or SSD or network storage, depending on your environment.
  • you can set the emptyDir.medium field to "Memory" to tell Kubernetes to mount a tmpfs (RAM-backed filesystem)
  • volumeMounts: - mountPath: /cache name: cache-volume volumes: - name: cache-volume emptyDir: {}
  • An fc volume allows an existing fibre channel volume to be mounted in a Pod.
  • configure FC SAN Zoning to allocate and mask those LUNs (volumes) to the target WWNs beforehand so that Kubernetes hosts can access them.
  • Flocker is an open-source clustered Container data volume manager. It provides management and orchestration of data volumes backed by a variety of storage backends.

  • A gcePersistentDisk volume mounts a Google Compute Engine (GCE) Persistent Disk into your Pod.
  • Using a PD on a Pod controlled by a ReplicationController will fail unless the PD is read-only or the replica count is 0 or 1
  • A glusterfs volume allows a Glusterfs (an open source networked filesystem) volume to be mounted into your Pod.
  • have your own GlusterFS installation running
  • A hostPath volume mounts a file or directory from the host node’s filesystem into your Pod.

  • access to Docker internals; use a hostPath of /var/lib/docker
  • allowing a Pod to specify whether a given hostPath should exist prior to the Pod running, whether it should be created, and what it should exist as
  • specify a type for a hostPath volume
  • the files or directories created on the underlying hosts are only writable by root.
  • hostPath: # directory location on host path: /data # this field is optional type: Directory
  • An iscsi volume allows an existing iSCSI (SCSI over IP) volume to be mounted into your Pod.
  • have your own iSCSI server running
  • A feature of iSCSI is that it can be mounted as read-only by multiple consumers simultaneously.
  • A local volume represents a mounted local storage device such as a disk, partition or directory.
  • Local volumes can only be used as a statically created PersistentVolume.
  • Compared to hostPath volumes, local volumes can be used in a durable and portable manner without manually scheduling Pods to nodes, as the system is aware of the volume’s node constraints by looking at the node affinity on the PersistentVolume.
  • If a node becomes unhealthy, then the local volume will also become inaccessible, and a Pod using it will not be able to run.
  • PersistentVolume spec using a local volume and nodeAffinity
  • PersistentVolume nodeAffinity is required when using local volumes. It enables the Kubernetes scheduler to correctly schedule Pods using local volumes to the correct node.
  • PersistentVolume volumeMode can now be set to “Block” (instead of the default value “Filesystem”) to expose the local volume as a raw block device.
  • When using local volumes, it is recommended to create a StorageClass with volumeBindingMode set to WaitForFirstConsumer
  • An nfs volume allows an existing NFS (Network File System) share to be mounted into your Pod.
  • NFS can be mounted by multiple writers simultaneously.
  • have your own NFS server running with the share exported
  • A persistentVolumeClaim volume is used to mount a PersistentVolume into a Pod.
  • PersistentVolumes are a way for users to “claim” durable storage (such as a GCE PersistentDisk or an iSCSI volume) without knowing the details of the particular cloud environment.
  • A projected volume maps several existing volume sources into the same directory.
  • All sources are required to be in the same namespace as the Pod. For more details, see the all-in-one volume design document.
  • Each projected volume source is listed in the spec under sources
  • A Container using a projected volume source as a subPath volume mount will not receive updates for those volume sources.
  • RBD volumes can only be mounted by a single consumer in read-write mode - no simultaneous writers allowed
  • A secret volume is used to pass sensitive information, such as passwords, to Pods
  • store secrets in the Kubernetes API and mount them as files for use by Pods
  • secret volumes are backed by tmpfs (a RAM-backed filesystem) so they are never written to non-volatile storage.
  • create a secret in the Kubernetes API before you can use it
  • A Container using a Secret as a subPath volume mount will not receive Secret updates.
  • StorageOS runs as a Container within your Kubernetes environment, making local or attached storage accessible from any node within the Kubernetes cluster.
  • Data can be replicated to protect against node failure. Thin provisioning and compression can improve utilization and reduce cost.
  • StorageOS provides block storage to Containers, accessible via a file system.
  • A vsphereVolume is used to mount a vSphere VMDK Volume into your Pod.
  • supports both VMFS and VSAN datastore.
  • create VMDK using one of the following methods before using with Pod.
  • share one volume for multiple uses in a single Pod.
  • The volumeMounts.subPath property can be used to specify a sub-path inside the referenced volume instead of its root.

  • env: - name: POD_NAME valueFrom: fieldRef: apiVersion: v1 fieldPath: metadata.name
  • Use the subPathExpr field to construct subPath directory names from Downward API environment variables
  • enable the VolumeSubpathEnvExpansion feature gate
  • The subPath and subPathExpr properties are mutually exclusive.
  • There is no limit on how much space an emptyDir or hostPath volume can consume, and no isolation between Containers or between Pods.
  • emptyDir and hostPath volumes will be able to request a certain amount of space using a resource specification, and to select the type of media to use, for clusters that have several media types.
  • the Container Storage Interface (CSI) and Flexvolume. They enable storage vendors to create custom storage plugins without adding them to the Kubernetes repository.
  • all volume plugins (like volume types listed above) were “in-tree” meaning they were built, linked, compiled, and shipped with the core Kubernetes binaries and extend the core Kubernetes API.
  • Container Storage Interface (CSI) defines a standard interface for container orchestration systems (like Kubernetes) to expose arbitrary storage systems to their container workloads.
  • Once a CSI compatible volume driver is deployed on a Kubernetes cluster, users may use the csi volume type to attach, mount, etc. the volumes exposed by the CSI driver.
  • The csi volume type does not support direct reference from Pod and may only be referenced in a Pod via a PersistentVolumeClaim object.
  • This feature requires CSIInlineVolume feature gate to be enabled:--feature-gates=CSIInlineVolume=true
  • In-tree plugins that support CSI Migration and have a corresponding CSI driver implemented are listed in the “Types of Volumes” section above.
  • Mount propagation allows for sharing volumes mounted by a Container to other Containers in the same Pod, or even to other Pods on the same node.
  • Mount propagation of a volume is controlled by mountPropagation field in Container.volumeMounts.
  • HostToContainer - This volume mount will receive all subsequent mounts that are mounted to this volume or any of its subdirectories.
  • Bidirectional - This volume mount behaves the same the HostToContainer mount. In addition, all volume mounts created by the Container will be propagated back to the host and to all Containers of all Pods that use the same volume.
  • Edit your Docker’s systemd service file. Set MountFlags as follows:MountFlags=shared

helm kubernetes chart development devops package

shared by 張 旭 on 05 Aug 19 - No Cached
  • A chart is a collection of files that describe a related set of Kubernetes resources.
  • A single chart might be used to deploy something simple, like a memcached pod, or something complex, like a full web app stack with HTTP servers, databases, caches, and so on.
  • Charts are created as files laid out in a particular directory tree, then they can be packaged into versioned archives to be deployed.
  • ...170 more annotations...
  • A chart is organized as a collection of files inside of a directory.
  • values.yaml # The default configuration values for this chart
  • charts/ # A directory containing any charts upon which this chart depends.
  • templates/ # A directory of templates that, when combined with values, # will generate valid Kubernetes manifest files.
  • version: A SemVer 2 version (required)
  • apiVersion: The chart API version, always "v1" (required)
  • Every chart must have a version number. A version must follow the SemVer 2 standard.
  • non-SemVer names are explicitly disallowed by the system.
  • When generating a package, the helm package command will use the version that it finds in the Chart.yaml as a token in the package name.
  • the appVersion field is not related to the version field. It is a way of specifying the version of the application.
  • appVersion: The version of the app that this contains (optional). This needn't be SemVer.
  • If the latest version of a chart in the repository is marked as deprecated, then the chart as a whole is considered to be deprecated.
  • deprecated: Whether this chart is deprecated (optional, boolean)
  • one chart may depend on any number of other charts.
  • dependencies can be dynamically linked through the requirements.yaml file or brought in to the charts/ directory and managed manually.
  • the preferred method of declaring dependencies is by using a requirements.yaml file inside of your chart.
  • A requirements.yaml file is a simple file for listing your dependencies.
  • The repository field is the full URL to the chart repository.
  • you must also use helm repo add to add that repo locally.
  • helm dependency update and it will use your dependency file to download all the specified charts into your charts/ directory for you.
  • When helm dependency update retrieves charts, it will store them as chart archives in the charts/ directory.
  • Managing charts with requirements.yaml is a good way to easily keep charts updated, and also share requirements information throughout a team.
  • All charts are loaded by default.
  • The condition field holds one or more YAML paths (delimited by commas). If this path exists in the top parent’s values and resolves to a boolean value, the chart will be enabled or disabled based on that boolean value.
  • The tags field is a YAML list of labels to associate with this chart.
  • all charts with tags can be enabled or disabled by specifying the tag and a boolean value.
  • The --set parameter can be used as usual to alter tag and condition values.
  • Conditions (when set in values) always override tags.
  • The first condition path that exists wins and subsequent ones for that chart are ignored.
  • The keys containing the values to be imported can be specified in the parent chart’s requirements.yaml file using a YAML list. Each item in the list is a key which is imported from the child chart’s exports field.
  • specifying the key data in our import list, Helm looks in the exports field of the child chart for data key and imports its contents.
  • the parent key data is not contained in the parent’s final values. If you need to specify the parent key, use the ‘child-parent’ format.
  • To access values that are not contained in the exports key of the child chart’s values, you will need to specify the source key of the values to be imported (child) and the destination path in the parent chart’s values (parent).
  • To drop a dependency into your charts/ directory, use the helm fetch command
  • A dependency can be either a chart archive (foo-1.2.3.tgz) or an unpacked chart directory.
  • name cannot start with _ or .. Such files are ignored by the chart loader.
  • a single release is created with all the objects for the chart and its dependencies.
  • Helm Chart templates are written in the Go template language, with the addition of 50 or so add-on template functions from the Sprig library and a few other specialized functions
  • When Helm renders the charts, it will pass every file in that directory through the template engine.
  • Chart developers may supply a file called values.yaml inside of a chart. This file can contain default values.
  • Chart users may supply a YAML file that contains values. This can be provided on the command line with helm install.
  • When a user supplies custom values, these values will override the values in the chart’s values.yaml file.
  • Template files follow the standard conventions for writing Go templates
  • {{default "minio" .Values.storage}}
  • Values that are supplied via a values.yaml file (or via the --set flag) are accessible from the .Values object in a template.
  • pre-defined, are available to every template, and cannot be overridden
  • the names are case sensitive
  • Release.Name: The name of the release (not the chart)
  • Release.IsUpgrade: This is set to true if the current operation is an upgrade or rollback.
  • Release.Revision: The revision number. It begins at 1, and increments with each helm upgrade
  • Chart: The contents of the Chart.yaml
  • Files: A map-like object containing all non-special files in the chart.
  • Files can be accessed using {{index .Files "file.name"}} or using the {{.Files.Get name}} or {{.Files.GetString name}} functions.
  • .helmignore
  • access the contents of the file as []byte using {{.Files.GetBytes}}
  • Any unknown Chart.yaml fields will be dropped
  • Chart.yaml cannot be used to pass arbitrarily structured data into the template.
  • A values file is formatted in YAML.
  • A chart may include a default values.yaml file
  • be merged into the default values file.
  • The default values file included inside of a chart must be named values.yaml
  • accessible inside of templates using the .Values object
  • Values files can declare values for the top-level chart, as well as for any of the charts that are included in that chart’s charts/ directory.
  • Charts at a higher level have access to all of the variables defined beneath.
  • lower level charts cannot access things in parent charts
  • Values are namespaced, but namespaces are pruned.
  • the scope of the values has been reduced and the namespace prefix removed
  • Helm supports special “global” value.
  • a way of sharing one top-level variable with all subcharts, which is useful for things like setting metadata properties like labels.
  • If a subchart declares a global variable, that global will be passed downward (to the subchart’s subcharts), but not upward to the parent chart.
  • global variables of parent charts take precedence over the global variables from subcharts.
  • helm lint
  • A chart repository is an HTTP server that houses one or more packaged charts
  • Any HTTP server that can serve YAML files and tar files and can answer GET requests can be used as a repository server.
  • Helm does not provide tools for uploading charts to remote repository servers.
  • the only way to add a chart to $HELM_HOME/starters is to manually copy it there.
  • Helm provides a hook mechanism to allow chart developers to intervene at certain points in a release’s life cycle.
  • Execute a Job to back up a database before installing a new chart, and then execute a second job after the upgrade in order to restore data.
  • Hooks are declared as an annotation in the metadata section of a manifest
  • Hooks work like regular templates, but they have special annotations
  • pre-install
  • post-install: Executes after all resources are loaded into Kubernetes
  • pre-delete
  • post-delete: Executes on a deletion request after all of the release’s resources have been deleted.
  • pre-upgrade
  • post-upgrade
  • pre-rollback
  • post-rollback: Executes on a rollback request after all resources have been modified.
  • crd-install
  • test-success: Executes when running helm test and expects the pod to return successfully (return code == 0).
  • test-failure: Executes when running helm test and expects the pod to fail (return code != 0).
  • Hooks allow you, the chart developer, an opportunity to perform operations at strategic points in a release lifecycle
  • Tiller then loads the hook with the lowest weight first (negative to positive)
  • Tiller returns the release name (and other data) to the client
  • If the resources is a Job kind, Tiller will wait until the job successfully runs to completion.
  • if the job fails, the release will fail. This is a blocking operation, so the Helm client will pause while the Job is run.
  • If they have hook weights (see below), they are executed in weighted order. Otherwise, ordering is not guaranteed.
  • good practice to add a hook weight, and set it to 0 if weight is not important.
  • The resources that a hook creates are not tracked or managed as part of the release.
  • leave the hook resource alone.
  • To destroy such resources, you need to either write code to perform this operation in a pre-delete or post-delete hook or add "helm.sh/hook-delete-policy" annotation to the hook template file.
  • Hooks are just Kubernetes manifest files with special annotations in the metadata section
  • One resource can implement multiple hooks
  • no limit to the number of different resources that may implement a given hook.
  • When subcharts declare hooks, those are also evaluated. There is no way for a top-level chart to disable the hooks declared by subcharts.
  • Hook weights can be positive or negative numbers but must be represented as strings.
  • sort those hooks in ascending order.
  • Hook deletion policies
  • "before-hook-creation" specifies Tiller should delete the previous hook before the new hook is launched.
  • By default Tiller will wait for 60 seconds for a deleted hook to no longer exist in the API server before timing out.
  • Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) are a special kind in Kubernetes.
  • The crd-install hook is executed very early during an installation, before the rest of the manifests are verified.
  • A common reason why the hook resource might already exist is that it was not deleted following use on a previous install/upgrade.
  • Helm uses Go templates for templating your resource files.
  • two special template functions: include and required
  • include function allows you to bring in another template, and then pass the results to other template functions.
  • The required function allows you to declare a particular values entry as required for template rendering.
  • If the value is empty, the template rendering will fail with a user submitted error message.
  • When you are working with string data, you are always safer quoting the strings than leaving them as bare words
  • Quote Strings, Don’t Quote Integers
  • when working with integers do not quote the values
  • env variables values which are expected to be string
  • to include a template, and then perform an operation on that template’s output, Helm has a special include function
  • The above includes a template called toYaml, passes it $value, and then passes the output of that template to the nindent function.
  • Go provides a way for setting template options to control behavior when a map is indexed with a key that’s not present in the map
  • The required function gives developers the ability to declare a value entry as required for template rendering.
  • The tpl function allows developers to evaluate strings as templates inside a template.
  • Rendering a external configuration file
  • (.Files.Get "conf/app.conf")
  • Image pull secrets are essentially a combination of registry, username, and password.
  • Automatically Roll Deployments When ConfigMaps or Secrets change
  • configmaps or secrets are injected as configuration files in containers
  • a restart may be required should those be updated with a subsequent helm upgrade
  • The sha256sum function can be used to ensure a deployment’s annotation section is updated if another file changes
  • checksum/config: {{ include (print $.Template.BasePath "/configmap.yaml") . | sha256sum }}
  • helm upgrade --recreate-pods
  • "helm.sh/resource-policy": keep
  • resources that should not be deleted when Helm runs a helm delete
  • this resource becomes orphaned. Helm will no longer manage it in any way.
  • create some reusable parts in your chart
  • In the templates/ directory, any file that begins with an underscore(_) is not expected to output a Kubernetes manifest file.
  • by convention, helper templates and partials are placed in a _helpers.tpl file.
  • The current best practice for composing a complex application from discrete parts is to create a top-level umbrella chart that exposes the global configurations, and then use the charts/ subdirectory to embed each of the components.
  • SAP’s Converged charts: These charts install SAP Converged Cloud a full OpenStack IaaS on Kubernetes. All of the charts are collected together in one GitHub repository, except for a few submodules.
  • Deis’s Workflow: This chart exposes the entire Deis PaaS system with one chart. But it’s different from the SAP chart in that this umbrella chart is built from each component, and each component is tracked in a different Git repository.
  • YAML is a superset of JSON
  • any valid JSON structure ought to be valid in YAML.
  • As a best practice, templates should follow a YAML-like syntax unless the JSON syntax substantially reduces the risk of a formatting issue.
  • There are functions in Helm that allow you to generate random data, cryptographic keys, and so on.
  • a chart repository is a location where packaged charts can be stored and shared.
  • A chart repository is an HTTP server that houses an index.yaml file and optionally some packaged charts.
  • Because a chart repository can be any HTTP server that can serve YAML and tar files and can answer GET requests, you have a plethora of options when it comes down to hosting your own chart repository.
  • It is not required that a chart package be located on the same server as the index.yaml file.
  • A valid chart repository must have an index file. The index file contains information about each chart in the chart repository.
  • The Helm project provides an open-source Helm repository server called ChartMuseum that you can host yourself.
  • $ helm repo index fantastic-charts --url https://fantastic-charts.storage.googleapis.com
  • A repository will not be added if it does not contain a valid index.yaml
  • add the repository to their helm client via the helm repo add [NAME] [URL] command with any name they would like to use to reference the repository.
  • Helm has provenance tools which help chart users verify the integrity and origin of a package.
  • Integrity is established by comparing a chart to a provenance record
  • The provenance file contains a chart’s YAML file plus several pieces of verification information
  • Chart repositories serve as a centralized collection of Helm charts.
  • Chart repositories must make it possible to serve provenance files over HTTP via a specific request, and must make them available at the same URI path as the chart.
  • We don’t want to be “the certificate authority” for all chart signers. Instead, we strongly favor a decentralized model, which is part of the reason we chose OpenPGP as our foundational technology.
  • The Keybase platform provides a public centralized repository for trust information.
  • A chart contains a number of Kubernetes resources and components that work together.
  • A test in a helm chart lives under the templates/ directory and is a pod definition that specifies a container with a given command to run.
  • The pod definition must contain one of the helm test hook annotations: helm.sh/hook: test-success or helm.sh/hook: test-failure
  • helm test
  • nest your test suite under a tests/ directory like <chart-name>/templates/tests/

kubernetes pod namespace

shared by 張 旭 on 19 Aug 22 - No Cached
  • When process namespace sharing is enabled, processes in a container are visible to all other containers in the same pod.
  • It's even possible to access the file system of another container using the /proc/$pid/root link.
  • Pods share many resources so it makes sense they would also share a process namespace.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Processes are visible to other containers in the pod. This includes all information visible in /proc, such as passwords that were passed as arguments or environment variables. These are protected only by regular Unix permissions.
  • Container filesystems are visible to other containers in the pod through the /proc/$pid/root link. This makes debugging easier, but it also means that filesystem secrets are protected only by filesystem permissions.
