Kubernetes

What is Kubernetes?
Kubernetes is a portable, extensible, open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services, that facilitates both declarative configuration and automation. It has a large, rapidly growing ecosystem. 
The name Kubernetes originates from Greek, meaning helmsman or pilot. Google open-sourced the Kubernetes project in 2014. Kubernetes combines over 15 years of Google’s experience running production workloads at scale with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.

Why you need Kubernetes and what it can do?
Containers are a good way to bundle and run your applications. In a production environment, you need to manage the containers that run the applications and ensure that there is no downtime. For example, if a container goes down, another container needs to start. Wouldn’t it be easier if this behavior was handled by a system?

That’s how Kubernetes comes to the rescue! Kubernetes provides you with a framework to run distributed systems resiliently. It takes care of scaling and failover for your application, provides deployment patterns, and more. For example, Kubernetes can easily manage a canary deployment for your system.

Kubernetes provides you with: Service discovery and load balancing: Kubernetes can expose a container using the DNS name or using their own IP address. If traffic to a container is high, Kubernetes is able to load balance and distribute the network traffic so that the deployment is stable.

Storage orchestration : Kubernetes allows you to automatically mount a storage system of your choice, such as local storages, public cloud providers, and more.
Automated rollouts and rollbacks. You can describe the desired state for your deployed containers using Kubernetes, and it can change the actual state to the desired state at a controlled rate. For example, you can automate Kubernetes to create new containers for your deployment, remove existing containers and adopt all their resources to the new container.

Automatic bin packing: You provide Kubernetes with a cluster of nodes that it can use to run containerized tasks. You tell Kubernetes how much CPU and memory (RAM) each container needs. Kubernetes can fit containers onto your nodes to make the best use of your resources.

Self-healing: Kubernetes restarts containers that fail, replaces containers, kills containers that don’t respond to your user-defined health check, and doesn’t advertise them to clients until they are ready to serve.
Secret and configuration management : Kubernetes lets you store and manage sensitive information, such as passwords, OAuth tokens, and SSH keys. You can deploy and update secrets and application configuration without rebuilding your container images, and without exposing secrets in your stack configuration.

Question : Briefly describe the components of the kubernetes architecture.
Answer : In Nutshell entire architecture follows Master Node which aka Control Plane managing the Worker Node aka Data plane.
Master Node : - 
API Server: It will be used to

12 - HTML 5 and CSS

HTML 5 Question : If I do not put <! DOCTYPE html> will HTML 5 work? Answer : No, browser will not be able to identify that it’s a HTML document and HTML 5 tags will not function properly. Diff between HTML 5 Layout and HTML 4 or previous HTML? Answer : A typical web page has headers, footers, navigation, central area and side bars. Now if we want to represent the same in HTML 4 with proper names to the HTML section we would probably use a DIV tag. But in HTML 5 they have made it more clear by creating element names for those sections which makes your HTML more readable. Below are more details of the HTML 5 elements which form the page structure. <header> : Represents header data of HTML. <footer> : Footer section of the page. <nav> : Navigation elements in the page. <article> : Self-contained content. <section> : Used inside article to define sections or group content in to sections. <aside> : Represent side bar contents of a...

Collections JAVA

Collection Question:Comparable and Comparator? Comparable Comparator Comparable provides single sorting sequence. In other words, we can sort the collection on the basis of single element such as id or name or price etc. Comparator provides multiple sorting sequence. In other words, we can sort the collection on the basis of multiple elements such as id, name and price etc. Comparable affects the original class i.e. actual class is modified. Comparator doesn't affect the original class i.e. actual class is not modified. Comparable provides compareTo() method to sort elements. Comparator provides compare() method to sort elements. Comparable is found in java.lang package. Comparator is found in java.util package. We can sort the list elements of Comparable type byCollections.sort(List) method. We can sort the list elements of Comparator type   byCollections.sort(List,...

OOAP -Javascript

JAVASCRIPT Question : How to find the index of an element from the JavaScript Array? Answer : Arrayname.indexOf(value); Question : How to remove an element form the JavaScript Array? Answer : Arrayname.splice(indexOfElement,1); Question : How can you convert a String to an Object? Answer : provided the String is valid JSON String we can convert it using JSON.parse(VALID JSON TEXT) e.g. var validText = '{"name" : "vikash" , "success":true, "Address" : {"Building" : "Building_X", "Flat" : "12"}}'; var obj = JSON.parse(validText); Now we can access the data in this way obj . name or obj. success or obj. Address . Building or obj. Address . Flat What is Event Bubbling and Capturing? Answer :  On the Introduction to events page I asked a question that at first sight seems incomprehensible: “If an element and one of its ancestors have an event handler for the same event, which one sho...
