🧪 Experiment: Installing Kubectl and Deploying Your

First Kubernetes Application

✅ Objective:
 To install and configure kubectl, the Kubernetes command-line tool.
 To use kubectl to interact with the cluster.
 To deploy a sample Kubernetes application (nginx).
 To validate its deployment using Kubernetes services.

🧰 Tools Required:
 A working Kubernetes cluster (local using Minikube/kubeadm, or on cloud)
 Ubuntu/Linux system or terminal (Windows WSL also works)
 Internet access
 User permissions to run kubectl

📚 Theory:
🔷 What is kubectl?
 kubectl is a command-line tool that allows you to communicate with the Kubernetes
API server.
 It helps in deploying, inspecting, and managing Kubernetes applications.

🔧 Part A: Install kubectl on Ubuntu/Linux


Step 1: Download the Latest kubectl Binary
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s
https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"

Step 2: Make Binary Executable


chmod +x kubectl
sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin/

🔽 Screenshot Placeholder: Kubectl Installed Successfully

Step 3: Verify Installation


kubectl version --client

🔽 Expected Output: Shows kubectl version details


🔧 Part B: Configure kubectl (If Not Done
Automatically)
mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config

🔽 Screenshot Placeholder: Config Setup for kubectl

🔧 Part C: Run kubectl Cluster Management


Commands
🔹 Check Cluster Nodes:
kubectl get nodes

🔹 Check Namespaces:
kubectl get namespaces

🔹 Get System Pods:


kubectl get pods -n kube-system

🔽 Screenshot Placeholder: kubectl get nodes and get pods output

Part D: Deploy Your First Kubernetes Application


Step 1: Run Nginx Application
kubectl create deployment my-nginx --image=nginx

Step 2: Verify Deployment


kubectl get deployments
kubectl get pods

Step 3: Expose Deployment as a Service


kubectl expose deployment my-nginx --type=NodePort --port=80

Step 4: Get Service Details


kubectl get svc

🔽 Expected Output: Shows service my-nginx with assigned NodePort


✅ Output:
 A fully running nginx pod in Kubernetes.
 Exposed to outside via NodePort.
 Validated using kubectl get commands.

🌐 (Optional) Step: Access the Application


If using Minikube:
minikube service my-nginx

If on EC2 or kubeadm, use:


http://<Node-IP>:<NodePort>

📌 Conclusion:
 You’ve successfully installed kubectl and used it to interact with your Kubernetes
cluster.
 Deployed a sample nginx application and exposed it as a service.
 Learned to inspect deployments, services, and pods using kubectl.
