# Kubernetes User Guide
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The user guide is intended for anyone who wants to run programs and services
 | 
						|
on an existing Kubernetes cluster.  Setup and administration of a
 | 
						|
Kubernetes cluster is described in the [Cluster Admin Guide](cluster-admin-guide.md).
 | 
						|
The developer guide describes is for anyone wanting to either write code which directly accesses the
 | 
						|
kubernetes API, or to contribute directly to the kubernetes project.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Primary concepts
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Overview** ([overview.md](overview.md)): A brief overview
 | 
						|
  of Kubernetes concepts. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Nodes** ([node.md](node.md)): A node is a worker machine in Kubernetes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Pods** ([pods.md](pods.md)): A pod is a tightly-coupled group of containers
 | 
						|
  with shared volumes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **The Life of a Pod** ([pod-states.md](pod-states.md)):
 | 
						|
  Covers the intersection of pod states, the PodStatus type, the life-cycle
 | 
						|
  of a pod, events, restart policies, and replication controllers.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Replication Controllers** ([replication-controller.md](replication-controller.md)):
 | 
						|
  A replication controller ensures that a specified number of pod "replicas" are 
 | 
						|
  running at any one time.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Services** ([services.md](services.md)): A Kubernetes service is an abstraction 
 | 
						|
  which defines a logical set of pods and a policy by which to access them.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Volumes** ([volumes.md](volumes.md)): A Volume is a directory, possibly with some 
 | 
						|
  data in it, which is accessible to a Container.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Labels** ([labels.md](labels.md)): Labels are key/value pairs that are 
 | 
						|
  attached to objects, such as pods. Labels can be used to organize and to 
 | 
						|
  select subsets of objects. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Secrets** ([secrets.md](secrets.md)): A Secret stores sensitive data
 | 
						|
  (e.g. ssh keys, passwords) separately from the Pods that use them, protecting
 | 
						|
  the sensitive data from proliferation by tools that process pods.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **API Overview** ([api.md](api.md)): Pointers to API documentation on various topics
 | 
						|
  and explanation of Kubernetes's approaches to API changes and API versioning.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Accessing the API** ([accessing_the_api.md](accessing_the_api.md)):
 | 
						|
  Ports, IPs, proxies, and firewall rules.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Kubernetes Web Interface** ([ui.md](ui.md)): Accessing the Kubernetes
 | 
						|
  web user interface.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Kubectl Command Line Interface** ([kubectl.md](kubectl.md)):
 | 
						|
  The `kubectl` command line reference.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Sharing Cluster Access** ([sharing-clusters.md](sharing-clusters.md)):
 | 
						|
  How to share client credentials for a kubernetes cluster.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Roadmap** ([roadmap.md](roadmap.md)): The set of supported use cases, features,
 | 
						|
  docs, and patterns that are required before Kubernetes 1.0.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Glossary** ([glossary.md](glossary.md)): Terms and concepts.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Further reading
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Annotations** ([annotations.md](annotations.md)): Attaching
 | 
						|
  arbitrary non-identifying metadata.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Kubernetes Container Environment** ([container-environment.md](container-environment.md)):
 | 
						|
  Describes the environment for Kubelet managed containers on a Kubernetes
 | 
						|
  node.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **DNS Integration with SkyDNS** ([dns.md](dns.md)):
 | 
						|
  Resolving a DNS name directly to a Kubernetes service.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Identifiers** ([identifiers.md](identifiers.md)): Names and UIDs
 | 
						|
  explained.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Images** ([images.md](images.md)): Information about container images
 | 
						|
  and private registries.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Logging** ([logging.md](logging.md)): Pointers to logging info.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Namespaces** ([namespaces.md](namespaces.md)): Namespaces help different
 | 
						|
  projects, teams, or customers to share a kubernetes cluster.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Networking** ([networking.md](networking.md)): Pod networking overview.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **The Kubernetes Resource Model** ([resources.md](resources.md)):
 | 
						|
  Provides resource information such as size, type, and quantity to assist in
 | 
						|
  assigning Kubernetes resources appropriately.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **Accessing cluster services via a Proxy** [accessing-the-cluster.md](../docs/accessing-the-cluster.md)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* The [API object documentation](http://kubernetes.io/third_party/swagger-ui/).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Frequently asked questions are answered on this project's [wiki](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/wiki).
