Kubernetes in ConnectSoft Templates

Purpose & Overview

Kubernetes in ConnectSoft Templates provides container orchestration capabilities for deploying, scaling, and managing applications in production environments. Kubernetes enables automated deployment, scaling, load balancing, self-healing, and service discovery for containerized applications across all ConnectSoft templates and solutions.

Kubernetes provides:

  • Container Orchestration: Automatic container lifecycle management
  • Scaling: Horizontal and vertical scaling based on demand
  • Service Discovery: Built-in DNS-based service discovery
  • Load Balancing: Automatic load distribution across pods
  • High Availability: Pod replication and failover
  • Self-Healing: Automatic restart of failed containers
  • Rolling Updates: Zero-downtime deployments
  • Resource Management: CPU and memory limits and requests
  • Configuration Management: ConfigMaps and Secrets for configuration
  • Network Policies: Security and network isolation

Kubernetes Philosophy

Kubernetes treats containers as first-class citizens, providing a robust platform for deploying and managing applications at scale. ConnectSoft Templates provide production-ready Kubernetes manifests that follow best practices for security, reliability, and observability.

Key Deployment Components

Metadata:

  • name: Deployment name (must be unique in namespace)
  • labels: Labels for resource selection and organization

Spec:

  • replicas: Number of pod replicas (default: 1)
  • selector: Labels to match pods managed by this deployment
  • template: Pod template specification

Pod Template:

  • securityContext: Security settings (run as non-root user)
  • containers: Container specifications
  • volumes: Volumes to mount in pods

Container Configuration

Image: 

image: "myregistry.azurecr.io/application:1.0.0"
imagePullPolicy: Always

Image Pull Policies:

  • Always: Always pull image (latest)
  • IfNotPresent: Pull only if not present locally
  • Never: Never pull (use local only)

Environment Variables: 

env:
  - name: ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT
    value: "Production"
  - name: ASPNETCORE_URLS
    value: "http://+:8081;https://+:7279"
  - name: ConnectionStrings__DefaultConnection
    valueFrom:
      secretKeyRef:
        name: microservice-secrets
        key: ConnectionStrings__DefaultConnection

Ports: 

ports:
  - name: http
    containerPort: 8081
    protocol: TCP
  - name: https
    containerPort: 7279
    protocol: TCP

Health Checks

Liveness Probe

Purpose: Determines if container is running. If probe fails, Kubernetes restarts the container.

livenessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /live
    port: 8081
    scheme: HTTP
  initialDelaySeconds: 30  # Wait 30s before first probe
  periodSeconds: 10        # Check every 10s
  timeoutSeconds: 5        # Timeout after 5s
  failureThreshold: 3      # Restart after 3 failures
  successThreshold: 1      # 1 success = healthy

Configuration Guidelines:

  • initialDelaySeconds: Should be greater than application startup time
  • periodSeconds: Frequency of checks (10-30 seconds typical)
  • failureThreshold: Number of failures before restart (3-5 typical)

Readiness Probe

Purpose: Determines if container is ready to serve traffic. If probe fails, Kubernetes removes pod from service endpoints.

readinessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /ready
    port: 8081
    scheme: HTTP
  initialDelaySeconds: 10  # Wait 10s before first probe
  periodSeconds: 5         # Check every 5s
  timeoutSeconds: 3        # Timeout after 3s
  failureThreshold: 3      # Mark unready after 3 failures
  successThreshold: 1      # 1 success = ready

Difference from Liveness:

  • Liveness: Restarts container if unhealthy
  • Readiness: Removes from load balancer if not ready

Startup Probe

Purpose: Indicates that container has started. Useful for slow-starting applications.

startupProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /health
    port: 8081
  initialDelaySeconds: 0
  periodSeconds: 5
  timeoutSeconds: 3
  failureThreshold: 30  # Allow up to 150s for startup (30 * 5s)
  successThreshold: 1

When to Use:

  • Applications with long startup times
  • Prevents premature liveness probe failures
  • Allows graceful initialization

See Startup and Warmup for detailed startup warmup patterns and mechanisms.

Resource Management

Resource Requests and Limits

Requests: Minimum resources guaranteed to container

resources:

Best Practices

Do's

  1. Use Resource Limits 

    # ✅ GOOD
resources:
  requests:
    memory: "128Mi"
    cpu: "250m"
  limits:
    memory: "256Mi"
    cpu: "500m"

  2. Implement Health Checks 

    # ✅ GOOD
livenessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /live
    port: 8081
readinessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /ready
    port: 8081

  3. Use Non-Root User 

    # ✅ GOOD
securityContext:
  runAsNonRoot: true
  runAsUser: 1000

  4. Version Images 

    # ✅ GOOD
image: "registry.example.com/app:1.0.0"
# ❌ BAD
image: "registry.example.com/app:latest"

  5. Use Secrets for Sensitive Data 

    # ✅ GOOD
env:
  - name: ConnectionString
    valueFrom:
      secretKeyRef:
        name: secrets
        key: connection-string

Don'ts

  1. Don't Use Latest Tag 

    # ❌ BAD
image: "app:latest"
# ✅ GOOD
image: "app:1.0.0"

  2. Don't Store Secrets in ConfigMap 

    # ❌ BAD
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
data:
  password: "secret123"

# ✅ GOOD
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
stringData:
  password: "secret123"

  3. Don't Run as Root 

    # ❌ BAD
securityContext:
  runAsUser: 0

# ✅ GOOD
securityContext:
  runAsNonRoot: true
  runAsUser: 1000

  4. Don't Skip Resource Limits 

    # ❌ BAD
# No resources specified

# ✅ GOOD
resources:
  requests:
    memory: "128Mi"
    cpu: "250m"
  limits:
    memory: "256Mi"
    cpu: "500m"

Troubleshooting

Pod Not Starting

Check Pod Status: 

kubectl get pods
kubectl describe pod <pod-name>
kubectl logs <pod-name>

Common Issues:

  • Image pull errors: Check image name and registry credentials
  • CrashLoopBackOff: Check application logs and startup probes
  • Pending: Check resource requests vs available resources

Service Not Accessible

Check Service: 

kubectl get svc
kubectl describe svc <service-name>
kubectl get endpoints <service-name>

Common Issues:

  • No endpoints: Pods not matching service selector
  • Port mismatch: Service port doesn't match container port
  • Network policy: Network policy blocking traffic

Configuration Issues

Check ConfigMap/Secret: 

kubectl get configmap <configmap-name> -o yaml
kubectl get secret <secret-name> -o yaml
kubectl exec <pod-name> -- env | grep <env-var>

Summary

Kubernetes in ConnectSoft Templates provides:

  • ✅ Deployment Management: Automated container deployment and lifecycle
  • ✅ Scaling: Horizontal and vertical scaling with HPA/VPA
  • ✅ Service Discovery: DNS-based service discovery
  • ✅ Load Balancing: Automatic load distribution
  • ✅ Health Checks: Liveness, readiness, and startup probes
  • ✅ Configuration: ConfigMaps and Secrets for configuration management
  • ✅ Security: Pod security contexts, network policies, service accounts
  • ✅ Rolling Updates: Zero-downtime deployments
  • ✅ Observability: Logging, metrics, and tracing integration
  • ✅ CI/CD Integration: Automated deployment pipelines

By following these patterns, teams can:

  • Deploy Reliably: Automated deployments with health checks and rollbacks
  • Scale Automatically: Respond to demand with autoscaling
  • Maintain Security: Follow security best practices and standards
  • Monitor Effectively: Integrate with observability tools
  • Operate Efficiently: Use Kubernetes features for operational excellence

Kubernetes provides a robust, production-ready platform for deploying and managing applications at scale, enabling teams to build reliable, scalable, and maintainable distributed systems across all ConnectSoft templates and solutions.
