Kubernetes is one of the services offered by the Deka GPU Service Portal, which is used to automate the deployment, management, scaling, and operation of containerized applications. Containers are a virtualization technology that allows applications to run in isolated environments while remaining resource-efficient. Kubernetes ensures container applications operate stably, scale effectively, and recover from failures. On the Kubernetes platform provided by the Deka GPU Service Portal, several advantages include:
Self-Healing
Kubernetes can automatically restart failed containers, replace them, shut down and reschedule unresponsive pods, and terminate containers that fail health checks.
Load Balancing and Service Discovery
Kubernetes provides automatic service discovery and load balancing for applications. This ensures network traffic is evenly distributed across all healthy pods, maintaining application availability.
Rollout and Rollback Management
Kubernetes simplifies application updates with rolling updates and rollbacks. It allows updates to be performed without significant downtime and ensures that rollback processes can be executed quickly in case of issues to restore the application's previous state.
On the Kubernetes page, there are four menus available in the Kubernetes module:
Dashboard Menu, this menu displays a summary of the overall status of the Kubernetes cluster. You can view general information such as the number of Pods, Deployments, Daemon Sets, and Stateful Sets that are ready to use.
Workloads Menu, this menu is used to manage and monitor the availability and scalability of applications running within the Kubernetes cluster. The Workloads page includes Pods, Deployments, DaemonSets, and StatefulSets.
Services Menu, to make it easier for you to monitor, manage, and configure services within a Kubernetes cluster.
Storages Menu, is used to manage datastores on pods. There are two types of storage available: Persistent Volumes (PV) and Persistent Volume Claims (PVC).
