    kubernetes role clusterrole rule search kubectl

    Sometimes might be difficult to tell how some subject (User, ServiceAccount, ...) is able to perform a certain task: What's the Role or ClusterRole granting some permission?

    For this we can use the searchrule plugin.

  • Monitoring APIRequestCount in OpenShift

    OpenShift APIRequestCount monitoring API usage

    Openshift provides an object that tracks the number of requests made to the Kubernetes API server. It provides insights into the load on the cluster, the performance of applications, and helps in capacity planning. By monitoring APIRequestCount, you can identify potential bottlenecks, detect unusual spikes in traffic, and optimize resource allocation.

    $ kubectl get apirequestcounts

  • OpenShift 3.11 - custom default route certificate failing with certificate has expired or is not yet valid

    2 min read

    OpenShift Route certificate has expired or is not yet valid default router-certs

    After trying to set a custom default certificate for the OpenShift routes we might see how it's Pods starts crashing:

    $ kubectl get pods
NAME                          READY   STATUS             RESTARTS   AGE
router-10-rh8vf               1/1     Running            0          32m
router-10-f2dt2               0/1     CrashLoopBackOff   6          7m
router-10-m45b7               1/1     Running            0          31m

    Checking it's logs we'll get a quite misleading message:

    $ kubectl logs router-10-f2dt2 -n default
Error from server: Get https://some.openshift.cluster:10250/containerLogs/default/router-10-f2dt2/router: x509: certificate has expired or is not yet valid

  • ExternalSecret: Partially load a secret

    2 min read

    Kubernetes ExternalSecret

    Sometimes we might have a secret stored in the AWS Secrets Manager with multiple properties but we don't really need all the data stored in the secret. We can tell External Secrets Operator to use just a specific key instead of using the whole secret.
