Configuring and Implementing Kubernetes Admission Controllers

Kubernetes provide plugins called admission controllers that govern and enforce how the cluster is used. In this hands-on lab, you will be tasked with configuring an admission controller and deploying to a namespace in order to set default memory limits and requests.

Challenge

Enable the LimitRanger Admission Controller
- Use a text editor to modify the kube-apiserver.yaml and ensure that the LimitRanger admission controller is enabled.
- Validate that the kube-apiserver pod redeploys successfully by issuing a simple kubectl command (the pod can take several seconds to redeploy).
Challenge

Create a LimitRange Resource in the dev Namespace
- Create a manifest file called mem-limit.yaml with the following specifications:
  
  Note: performing a copy paste directly from the objective will result in additional spaces being added. To remove additional spaces, either copy to a text editor on your computer before copying to the file on the host or manually remove the spaces once you have copied the file.
```
apiVersion: v1
kind: LimitRange
metadata:
  name: mem-limit-range
  namespace: dev
spec:
  limits:
  - default:
      memory: 512Mi
    defaultRequest:
      memory: 256Mi
    type: Container
```
- Use the kubectl command to deploy the manifest file.
Challenge

Create Two Pods in the dev Namespace
- View the contents of the nginx-pod.yaml file in the /home/cloud_user directory (take note of any memory requests or limits, if they appear):
  - Use the kubectl command to deploy the manifest.
  - Use the kubectl command to print information about the pod in YAML format (pay attention to the memory request and limit).
- View the contents of the test-pod.yaml file in the /home/cloud_user directory (take note of any memory requests or limits, if they appear):
  - Use the kubectl command to deploy the manifest.
  - Use the kubectl command to print information about the pod in YAML format (pay attention to the memory request and limit).
