Topic #: 2

Score:7%

Context

An existing Pod needs to be integrated into the Kubernetes built-in logging architecture (e. g. kubectl logs). Adding a streaming sidecar container is a good and common way to accomplish this requirement.

Task

Add a sidecar container named sidecar, using the busybox Image, to the existing Pod big-corp-app. The new sidecar container has to run the following command:

/bin/sh -c tail -n+1 -f /va r/log/big-corp-app.log

Use a Volume, mounted at /var/log, to make the log file big-corp-app.log available to the sidecar container.

AExplanation:
Solution:
#
kubectl get pod big-corp-app -o yaml
#
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: big-corp-app
spec:
containers:
- name: big-corp-app
image: busybox

while true;
do
echo '$(date) INFO $i' >> /var/log/big-corp-app.log;
i=$((i+1));
sleep 1;
done
volumeMounts:
- name: logs
mountPath: /var/log
- name: count-log-1
image: busybox

volumeMounts:

mountPath: /var/log

Haha, the pod name 'big-corp-app' makes me chuckle. I wonder if they have a 'small-startup-app' somewhere as well.

The sidecar container using the busybox image is a great way to integrate the existing pod with the Kubernetes logging architecture. The command to tail the log file and make it available to kubectl logs is spot on.
