Automatic merge from submit-queue (batch tested with PRs 41814, 41922, 41957, 41406, 41077) add kubectl can-i to see if you can perform an action Adds `kubectl auth can-i <verb> <resource> [<name>]` so that a user can see if they are allowed to perform an action. @kubernetes/sig-cli-pr-reviews @fabianofranz This particular command satisfies the immediate need of knowing if you can perform an action without trying that action. When using RBAC in a script that is adding permissions, there is a lag between adding the permission and the permission being realized in the RBAC cache. As a user on the CLI, you almost never see it, but as a script adding a binding and then using that new power, you hit it quite often. There are natural follow-ons to the same area (hence the `auth` subcommand) to figure out if someone else can perform an action, what actions you can perform in total, and who can perform a given action. Someone else is an API we have already, what-can-i-do was a proposed API a while back and a very useful one for interfaces, and who-can is common question if someone is administering a namespace. |

Kubernetes

Introduction
Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts, providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications. Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).
Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running production workloads at scale using a system called Borg, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
Are you ...
- Interested in learning more about using Kubernetes?
- See our documentation on kubernetes.io.
- Try our interactive tutorial.
- Take a free course on Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes.
- Interested in developing the core Kubernetes code base, developing tools using the Kubernetes API or helping in anyway possible? Keep reading!
Code of Conduct
The Kubernetes community abides by the CNCF code of conduct. Here is an excerpt:
As contributors and maintainers of this project, and in the interest of fostering an open and welcoming community, we pledge to respect all people who contribute through reporting issues, posting feature requests, updating documentation, submitting pull requests or patches, and other activities.
Community
Do you want to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented?. If you are a company, you should consider joining the CNCF. For details about who's involved in CNCF and how Kubernetes plays a role, read the announcement. For general information about our community, see the website community page.
- Join us on social media (Twitter, Google+) and read our blog.
- Ask questions and help answer them on Slack or Stack Overflow.
- Attend our key events (kubecon, cloudnativecon, weekly community meeting).
- Join a Special Interest Group (SIG).
Contribute
If you're interested in being a contributor and want to get involved in developing Kubernetes, get started with this reading:
- The community expectations
- The contributor guidelines
- The Kubernetes Developer Guide
You will then most certainly gain a lot from joining a SIG, attending the regular hangouts as well as the community meeting.
If you have an idea for a new feature, see the Kubernetes Features repository for a list of features that are coming in new releases as well as details on how to propose one.
Building Kubernetes for the impatient
If you want to build Kubernetes right away there are two options:
- You have a working Go environment.
$ go get -d k8s.io/kubernetes
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
$ make
- You have a working Docker environment.
$ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
$ cd kubernetes
$ make quick-release
If you are less impatient, head over to the developer's documentation.
Support
While there are many different channels that you can use to get hold of us (Slack, Stack Overflow, Issues, Forums/Mailing lists), you can help make sure that we are efficient in getting you the help that you need.
If you need support, start with the troubleshooting guide and work your way through the process that we've outlined.
That said, if you have questions, reach out to us one way or another. We don't bite!
