Kubernetes Foundation Operations

When to Use

• Checking cluster health before deployments
• Applying Helm charts to cluster
• Managing namespaces and resources
• Verifying cluster connectivity

Instructions

Check Cluster Health

1. Run health check: python scripts/health_check.py
2. Review cluster status output
3. Address any issues before proceeding

Apply Helm Chart

1. Add repo: python scripts/helm_ops.py add-repo <repo-name> <repo-url>
2. Update repos: python scripts/helm_ops.py update
3. Install chart: python scripts/helm_ops.py install <chart> <name> --namespace <ns>
4. Verify: python scripts/verify_installation.py <name> <namespace>

Manage Namespaces

1. Create: python scripts/namespace_manager.py create <name>
2. List: python scripts/namespace_manager.py list
3. Delete: python scripts/namespace_manager.py delete <name>

Validation

• Cluster is healthy (all nodes Ready)
• Helm is configured
• Target namespace exists

Troubleshooting

If cluster health fails:

1. Check Minikube status: minikube status
2. Check nodes: kubectl get nodes
3. Restart if needed: minikube restart

See REFERENCE.md for Helm chart configurations.
