Kubernetes - how to tear down cluster? - kubernetes

I've been trying to shut down kubernetes cluster , but I couldn't managed to do it.
When I type
kubectl cluster-info
I can see that my cluster is still running.
I tried commands like running script
kube-down.sh
but it didn't work.
I deleted all pods. How can I shut it down ?

The tear down section of the official documentation says:
To undo what kubeadm did, you should first drain the node and make sure that the node is empty before shutting it down.
Talking to the master with the appropriate credentials, run:
kubectl drain <node name> --delete-local-data --force --ignore-daemonsets
kubectl delete node <node name>
Then, on the node being removed, reset all kubeadm installed state:
kubeadm reset

You cannot use kubectl stop command as it has been deprecated. If you have created pods using a yaml file, I suggest you use
kubectl delete -f <filename>.yml to stop any running pod.
You can also delete service associated with running pods by using the following command:
# Delete pods and services with same names "baz" and "foo"
kubectl delete pod,service baz foo

When using kube-down.sh you've to make sure that all the environment variables which were adjusted for the kube-up.sh are also used during the shut down. See also

MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume "rook-ceph-crash-collector-keyring" : secret "rook-ceph-crash-collector-keyring" not found

I am trying to configure ceph on kubernetes cluster using rook, I have run the following commands:
kubectl apply -f common.yaml
kubectl apply -f operator.yaml
kubectl apply -f cluster.yaml
I have three worker nodes with atached volumes and on master, all the created pods are running except the rook-ceph-crashcollector pods for the three nodes, when I describe these pods I get this message
MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume "rook-ceph-crash-collector-keyring" : secret "rook-ceph-crash-collector-keyring" not found
However all the nodes are running and working
It is hard to exactly tell what might be the cause of this but there are few possibilities:
Cluster networking problem between nodes
Some possible leftover sockets in the /var/lib/kubelet directory related to rook ceph.
A bug when connecting to an external Ceph cluster.
In order to fix your issue you can:
Use Flannel and make sure it is using the right interface. Check the kube-flannel.yml file and see if it uses the --iface= option. Or alternatively try to use Calico.
Clear the ./var/lib/rook/, ./var/lib/kubelet/plugins/ and ./var/lib/kubelet/plugins_registry/ directories and reinstall the rook service.
Create the rook-ceph-crash-collector-keyring secret manually by executing: kubectl -n rook-ceph create secret generic rook-ceph-crash-collector-keyring.

Delete all the contents from a kubernetes node

How to delete all the contents from a kubernetes node? Contents include deployments, replica sets etc. I tried to delete deplyoments seperately. But kubernetes recreates all the pods again. Is there there any ways to delete all the replica sets present in a node?
If you are testing things, the easiest way would be
kubectl delete deployment --all
Althougth if you are using minikube, the easiest would probably be delete the machine and start again with a fresh node
minikube delete
minikube start
If we are talking about a production cluster, Kubernetes has a built-in feature to drain a node of the cluster, removing all the objects from that node safely.
You can use kubectl drain to safely evict all of your pods from a node before you perform maintenance on the node. Safe evictions allow the pod’s containers to gracefully terminate and will respect the PodDisruptionBudgets you have specified.
Note: By default kubectl drain will ignore certain system pods on the node that cannot be killed; see the kubectl drain documentation for more details.
When kubectl drain returns successfully, that indicates that all of the pods (except the ones excluded as described in the previous paragraph) have been safely evicted (respecting the desired graceful termination period, and without violating any application-level disruption SLOs). It is then safe to bring down the node by powering down its physical machine or, if running on a cloud platform, deleting its virtual machine.
First, identify the name of the node you wish to drain. You can list all of the nodes in your cluster with
kubectl get nodes
Next, tell Kubernetes to drain the node:
kubectl drain <node name>
Once it returns (without giving an error), you can power down the node (or equivalently, if on a cloud platform, delete the virtual machine backing the node). drain waits for graceful termination. You should not operate on the machine until the command completes.
If you leave the node in the cluster during the maintenance operation, you need to run
kubectl uncordon <node name>
afterwards to tell Kubernetes that it can resume scheduling new pods onto the node.
Please, note that if there are any pods that are not managed by ReplicationController, ReplicaSet, DaemonSet, StatefulSet or Job, then drain will not delete any pods unless you use --force, as mentioned in the docs.
kubectl drain <node name> --force
minikube delete --all
in case you are using minikube
it will let you start a new clean cluster.
in case you run on Kubernetes :
kubectl delete pods,deployments -A --all
it will remove it from all namespaces, you can add more objects in the same command .
Kubenertes provides namespaces object for isolation and separation of concern. Therefore, It is recommended to apply all of the k8s resources objects (Deployment, ReplicaSet, Pods, Services and other) in a custom namespace.
Now If you want to remove all of the relevant and related k8s resources, you just need to delete the namespace which will remove all of these resources.
kubectl create namespace custom-namespace
kubectl create -f deployment.yaml --namespace=custom-namespace
kubectl delete namespaces custom-namespace
I have attached a link for further research.
Namespaces
I tried so many variations to delete old pods from tutorials, including everything here.
What finally worked for me was:
kubectl delete replicaset --all
Deleting them one at a time didn't seem to work; it was only with the --all flag that all pods were deleted without being recreated.

How to kill pods on Kubernetes local setup

I am starting exploring runnign docker containers with Kubernetes. I did the following
Docker run etcd
docker run master
docker run service proxy
kubectl run web --image=nginx
To cleanup the state, I first stopped all the containers and cleared the downloaded images. However I still see pods running.
$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
web-3476088249-w66jr 1/1 Running 0 16m
How can I remove this?
To delete the pod:
kubectl delete pods web-3476088249-w66jr
If this pod is started via some replicaSet or deployment or anything that is creating replicas then find that and delete that first.
kubectl get all
This will list all the resources that have been created in your k8s cluster. To get information with respect to resources created in your namespace kubectl get all --namespace=<your_namespace>
To get info about the resource that is controlling this pod, you can do
kubectl describe web-3476088249-w66jr
There will be a field "Controlled By", or some owner field using which you can identify which resource created it.
When you do kubectl run ..., that's a deployment you create, not a pod directly. You can check this with kubectl get deploy. If you want to delete the pod, you need to delete the deployment with kubectl delete deploy DEPLOYMENT.
I would recommend you to create a namespace for testing when doing this kind of things. You just do kubectl create ns test, then you do all your tests in this namespace (by adding -n test). Once you have finished, you just do kubectl delete ns test, and you are done.
If you defined your object as Pod then
kubectl delete pod <--all | pod name>
will remove all of the generated Pod. But, If wrapped your Pod to Deployment object then running the command above only will trigger a re-creation of them.
In that case, you need to run
kubectl delete deployment <--all | deployment name>
That will also remove the Service object that is related to the deleted Deployment

How to list Kubernetes recently deleted pods?

Is there a way to get some details about Kubernetes pod that was deleted (stopped, replaced by new version).
I am investigating bug. I have logs with my pod name. That pod does not exist anymore, it was replaced by another one (with different configuration). New pod resides in same namespace, replication controller and service as old one.
Commands like
kubectl get pods
kubectl get pod <pod-name>
work only with current pods (live or stopped).
How I could get more details about old pods? I would like to see
when they were created
which environment variables they had when created
why and when they were stopped
As of today, kubectl get pods -a is deprecated, and as a result you cannot get deleted pods.
What you can do though, is to get a list of recently deleted pod names - up to 1 hour in the past unless you changed the ttl for kubernetes events - by running:
kubectl get event -o custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name | cut -d "." -f1
You can then investigate further issues within your logging pipeline if you have one in place.
As far as I know you cannot get the Pod details once the Pod is deleted. Can I know what is the usecase?
Example:
if a Pod is created using kubectl run busybox-test-pod-status --image=busybox --restart=Never -- /bin/false
you will have a Pod with status terminated:error
if a Pod is created using kubectl run busybox-test-pod-status --image=busybox --restart=Never -- /bin/true
you will have a Pod with status terminated:Completed
if a container in a Pod restarts: the Pod will be alive and you can get the logs of previous container (only the previous container) using
kubectl logs --container <container name> --previous=true <pod name>
if you doing an upgrade of you app and you are creating Pods using Deployments. If the update deployment "say a new image", the Pod will be terminated and new Pod will be created. You can get the Pod details from the Deployment's YAML. if you want to get details of previous Pod you have see "spec" section of previous Deployment's YAML
You can try kubectl logs --previous to list the logs of a previously stopped pod
http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/kubectl/kubectl_logs/
You may also want to check out these debugging tips
http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/debugging-pods-and-replication-controllers/
There is a way to find out why pods were deleted and who deleted them.
The only way to find out something is to set the ttl for k8s to be greater than the default 1h and search through the events:
kubectl get event -o custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name | cut -d "." -f1
If your container has previously crashed, you can access the previous container’s crash log with:
kubectl logs --previous ${POD_NAME} ${CONTAINER_NAME}
There is this flag:
-a, --show-all=false: When printing, show all resources (default hide terminated pods.)
But this may not help in all cases of old pods.
kubectl get pods -a
you will get the list of running pods and the terminated pods in case you are searching for this
If you want to see all the previously deleted pods and you are trying to fetch the previous pods.
Command line:
kubectl get pods
in which you will get all the pod details, because every service has one or more pods and they have unique ip address
Here you can check the lifecycle of pods and what phases of pod has.
https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-lifecycle
and you can see the previous pod logs by typing a command:
kubectl logs --previous

How to restart kube-proxy in Kubernetes 1.2 (GKE)

As of Kubernetes 1.2, kube-proxy is now a pod running in the kube-system namespace.
The old init script /etc/init.d/kube-proxy has been removed.
Aside from simply resetting the GCE instance, is there a good way to restart kube-proxy?
I just added an annotation to change the proxy mode, and I need to restart kube-proxy for my change to take effect.
The kube-proxy is run as an addon pod, meaning the Kubelet will automatically restart it if it goes away. This means you can restart the kube-proxy pod by simply deleting it:
$ kubectl delete pod --namespace=kube-system kube-proxy-${NODE_NAME}
Where $NODE_NAME is the node you want to restart the proxy on (this is assuming a default configuration, otherwise kubectl get pods --kube-system should include the list of kube-proxy pods).
If the restarted kube-proxy is missing your annotation change, you may need to update the manifest file, usually found in /etc/kubernetes/manifests on the node.
