Kubernetes hierarchy

Clusters
   Namespaces
Users

• Contexts - A context is a Cluster/Namespace/User triplet (I think)

In the same cluster create 2 namespaces:

• development
• production

{
  "apiVersion": "v1",
  "kind": "Namespace",
  "metadata": {
    "name": "development",
    "labels": {
      "name": "development"
    }
  }
}

{
  "apiVersion": "v1",
  "kind": "Namespace",
  "metadata": {
    "name": "production",
    "labels": {
      "name": "production"
    }
  }
}

kubectl apply -f development-namespace.yml
kubectl apply -f production-namespace.yml
kubectl get namespaces --show-labels

We still only have the main minikube context:

kubectl config get-contexts

List the available clusters, users and namespaces:

kubectl config get-clusters
kubectl config get-users
kubectl get namespaces --show-labels

Create context for each environment:

kubectl config set-context development --namespace=development --cluster=minikube --user=minikube
kubectl config set-context production --namespace=production --cluster=minikube --user=minikube

Switch to context:

kubectl config use-context development

Alternatively we could add --context development at the end of the individual commands.

get the current context

kubectl config current-context

kubectl apply -f development-config-map.yml --context development

Make sure the right configuration is used in each namespace

kubectl apply -k base
kubectl delete -k base

kubectl kustomize base/
