List of few minikube commands 

Minikube is a popular tool for local Kubernetes cluster setup. It allows developers to experiment and test their applications on a small Kubernetes cluster on their local machine before deploying to a production environment. Minikube provides a simple command-line interface for managing the lifecycle of the Kubernetes cluster. In this blog, we will discuss some of the commonly used Minikube commands, their usage, and output with examples.

  1. minikube start:

The "minikube start" command is used to start a new Minikube cluster. It creates a virtual machine (VM) on the local machine and installs Kubernetes on it. Here's an example of how to start a new Minikube cluster:

$ minikube start

😄  minikube v1.23.2 on Darwin 11.6.2

✨  Automatically selected the hyperkit driver. Other choices: docker, virtualbox

👍  Starting control plane node minikube in cluster minikube

💾  Downloading Kubernetes v1.23.2 preload ...

    > preloaded-images-k8s-v11-v1...: 542.32 MiB / 542.32 MiB  100.00% 1.14 MiB

🔥  Creating hyperkit VM (CPUs=2, Memory=6000MB, Disk=20000MB) ...

🐳  Preparing Kubernetes v1.23.2 on Docker 20.10.12 ...

🔎  Verifying Kubernetes components...

🌟  Enabled addons: storage-provisioner, default-storageclass

🏄  Done! kubectl is now configured to use "minikube" cluster and "default" namespace by default

 

The output shows that Minikube has started a new cluster with Kubernetes version 1.23.2, using the hyperkit driver.

  1. minikube stop:

The "minikube stop" command is used to stop the currently running Minikube cluster. It shuts down the VM running Kubernetes. Here's an example of how to stop a running Minikube cluster:

$ minikube stop

✋  Stopping node "minikube"  ...

🛑  1 nodes stopped.

 The output shows that Minikube has stopped the running cluster.


  1. minikube delete:

The "minikube delete" command is used to delete the currently running Minikube cluster. It removes the VM running Kubernetes and all associated resources. Here's an example of how to delete a running Minikube cluster:


$ minikube delete

🔥  Deleting "minikube" in hyperkit ...

💔  The "minikube" cluster has been deleted.

The output shows that Minikube has deleted the running cluster.

  1. minikube dashboard:

The "minikube dashboard" command is used to open the Kubernetes dashboard for the Minikube cluster in the default web browser. Here's an example of how to open the Kubernetes dashboard:


$ minikube dashboard

🤔  Verifying dashboard health ...

🚀  Launching proxy ...

🤔  Verifying proxy health ...

🎉  Opening http://127.0.0.1:62039/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/http:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/ in your default browser...

The output shows that Minikube has launched a proxy and opened the Kubernetes dashboard in the default web browser. 

5. minikube addons list

- storage-provisioner: enabled

- storage-provisioner-gluster: disabled

- volumesnapshots: disabled

- windows: disabled

 6. minikube addons enable <addon-name>

This command enables the specified addon in the Minikube cluster. To execute this command, replace <addon-name> with the name of the addon that you want to enable. For example, minikube addons enable dashboard will enable the Kubernetes dashboard addon in the Minikube cluster.

$ minikube addons enable dashboard

🌟  The 'dashboard' addon is enabled

 7. minikube addons disable <addon-name>

This command disables the specified addon in the Minikube cluster. To execute this command, replace <addon-name> with the name of the addon that you want to disable. For example, minikube addons disable dashboard will disable the Kubernetes dashboard addon in the Minikube cluster

$ minikube addons disable dashboard

✨  The 'dashboard' addon is disabled

 

 8. minikube service <service-name>

This command opens the specified service in the default web browser. To execute this command, replace <service-name> with the name of the service that you want to open in the web browser. For example, minikube service my-service will open the service named my-service in the default web browser.

$ minikube service my-service

|-----------|-----------------------|-------------|---------------------------|

| NAMESPACE |         NAME          | TARGET PORT |            URL            |

|-----------|-----------------------|-------------|---------------------------|

| default   | my-service            |        80   | http://192.168.49.2:30000 |

🎉  Opening service default/my-service in default browser...

 9. minikube status

This command displays the status of the currently running Minikube cluster.

$ minikube status

host: Running

kubelet: Running

apiserver: Running

 

These are just a few examples of the many commands available in Minikube. You can find more information about Minikube commands by running minikube --help or by checking the Minikube documentation.

Data Science Essentials: Mastering Basic Statistics for Effective Analysis

-
  In the field of data science, statistical metrics play a crucial role in analyzing and interpreting data. These metrics provide valuable insights into the characteristics and patterns of the data, enabling data scientists to make informed decisions. This article will explore some commonly used statistical metrics and demonstrate how to calculate them using the popular Python library, Pandas and R.   Mean: The mean, or average, is a fundamental statistical metric representing a dataset's central tendency. It is calculated by summing all the values in the dataset and dividing by the number of observations. In Pandas, we can compute the mean using the mean() function. import pandas as pd   data = pd . Series ([ 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 ])   mean_value = data . mean () print (" Mean: ", mean_value )   To calculate the mean of a dataset in R, you can use the mean() function: data <- c ( 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 ) mean_value <- mean ( ...

Explain Docker run with options

-
The docker run command is used to create and start a new container based on a Docker image. It has several options that can be used to customize the behavior of the container. Here's an example of how to use the docker run command with multiple options: docker run -d --name mycontainer -p 8080:80 -v /my/local/folder:/container/folder myima ge:tag Let's break down each option: -d option: This option runs the container in detached mode, which means the container runs in the background and does not hold your terminal window open. --name option: This option sets a custom name for the container. In this case, the container will be named mycontainer . -p option: This option maps a network port on the host to a container port. In this case, port 8080 on the host is mapped to port 80 in the container. -v option: This option mounts a local folder on the host to a folder in the container. In this case, the folder /my/local/fol...
