Kubelet creates and manages node leases This extends the Kubelet to create and periodically update leases in a new kube-node-lease namespace. Based on [KEP-0009](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/keps/sig-node/0009-node-heartbeat.md), these leases can be used as a node health signal, and will allow us to reduce the load caused by over-frequent node status reporting. - add NodeLease feature gate - add kube-node-lease system namespace for node leases - add Kubelet option for lease duration - add Kubelet-internal lease controller to create and update lease - add e2e test for NodeLease feature I would like to determine a standard policy for lease renewal frequency, based on the configured lease duration, so that we don't need to expose frequency as an additional knob. The renew interval is currently calculated as 1/3 of the lease duration. ```release-note kubelet: Users can now enable the alpha NodeLease feature gate to have the Kubelet create and periodically renew a Lease in the kube-node-lease namespace. The lease duration defaults to 40s, and can be configured via the kubelet.config.k8s.io/v1beta1.KubeletConfiguration's NodeLeaseDurationSeconds field. ``` /cc @wojtek-t @liggitt
Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts; providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.
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.
Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). If you are a company that wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF. For details about who's involved and how Kubernetes plays a role, read the CNCF announcement.
To start using Kubernetes
See our documentation on kubernetes.io.
Try our interactive tutorial.
Take a free course on Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes.
To start developing Kubernetes
The community repository hosts all information about building Kubernetes from source, how to contribute code and documentation, who to contact about what, etc.
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
For the full story, head over to the developer's documentation.
