  Also, see: https://www.lightnetics.com/post/10058 The whole script is as follows: { "variables": { "aws_access_key": "", "aws_secret_key": "" }, "builders": [{ "type": "amazon-ebs", "access_key": "user `aws_access_key`", "secret_key": "user `aws_secret_key`", "region": "eu-west-1", "source_ami": "ami-ca0135b3", "instance_type": "t2.micro", "ssh_username": "ec2-user", "ami_name": "dev-prov timestamp | clean_ami_name" }], "provisioners": [ { "type": "file", "source": "uploaddir", "destination": "/var/tmp" }, { "type": "shell", "scripts": [ "install.sh", "post_install.sh" ] } ] } The following section refers to this article: { "type": "file", "source": "uploaddir", "destination": "/var/tmp" } We are using the file provisioner type, to copy a directory from the relative directory called uploaddir, to the destination /var/tmp on the packer image. The packer output shows this: ==> amazon-ebs: Uploading uploaddir => /var/tmp ==> amazon-ebs: Provisioning with shell script: install.sh Note: When copying files with packer the trailing slash follow rsync rules, if the source has a trailing slash and it a directory called mydir, with a 100 files, and your remote destination is /tmp, the 100 files will be copied to /tmp, and not the entire directory.

  Standard format ps -o format User-defined format. format is a single argument in the form of a blank separated or comma-separated list, which offers a way to specify individual output columns. The recognized keywords are described in the STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS section below. Headers may be renamed (ps -o pid,ruser=RealUser -o comm=Command) as desired. If all column headers are empty (ps -o pid= -o comm=) then the header line will not be output. Column width will increase as needed for wide headers; this may be used to widen up columns such as WCHAN (ps -o pid,wchan=WIDE-WCHAN-COLUMN -o comm). Explicit width control (ps opid,wchan:42,cmd) is offered too. The behavior of ps -o pid=X,comm=Y varies with personality; output may be one column named "X,comm=Y" or two columns named "X" and "Y". Use multiple -o options when in doubt. Use the PS_FORMAT environment variable to specify a default as desired; DefSysV and DefBSD are macros that may be used to choose the default UNIX or BSD columns. euser EUSER effective user name. This will be the textual user ID, if it can be obtained and the field width permits, or a decimal representation otherwise. The n option can be used to force the decimal representation. (alias uname, user). ruser RUSER real user ID. This will be the textual user ID, if it can be obtained and the field width permits, or a decimal representation otherwise. suser SUSER saved user name. This will be the textual user ID, if it can be obtained and the field width permits, or a decimal representation otherwise. (alias svuser). fuser FUSER filesystem access user ID. This will be the textual user ID, if it can be obtained and the field width permits, or a decimal representation otherwise. f F flags associated with the process, see the PROCESS FLAGS section. (alias flag, flags). comm COMMAND command name (only the executable name). Modifications to the command name will not be shown. A process marked <defunct> is partly dead, waiting to be fully destroyed by its parent. The output in this column may contain spaces. (alias ucmd, ucomm). See also the args format keyword, the -f option, and the c option. When specified last, this column will extend to the edge of the display. If ps can not determine display width, as when output is redirected (piped) into a file or another command, the output width is undefined (it may be 80, unlimited, determined by the TERM variable, and so on). The COLUMNS environment variable or --cols option may be used to exactly determine the width in this case. The w or -w option may be also be used to adjust width. label LABEL security label, most commonly used for SELinux context data. This is for the Mandatory Access Control ("MAC") found on high-security systems. $ ps -eo euser,ruser,suser,fuser,f,comm,label EUSER RUSER SUSER FUSER F COMMAND LABEL root root root root 4 systemd unconfined root root root root 1 kthreadd unconfined -M Add a column of security data. Identical to Z (for SELinux). $ ps -eM Z Add a column of security data. Identical to -M (for SELinux). BSD format ps $ ps axZ

  A liveness command to check the health of an application. It all very well having the container running in a pod but application checks need to be in place too. Let's break down the code below: create a container running the busybox image get it to execute command to create file wait 30 seconds remove the file (to trigger simulate a failure) wait 300 seconds. apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: labels: test: liveness name: liveness-exec spec: containers: - name: liveness image: k8s.gcr.io/busybox args: - /bin/sh - -c - touch /tmp/healthy; sleep 30; rm -rf /tmp/healthy; sleep 600 livenessProbe: exec: command: - cat - /tmp/healthy initialDelaySeconds: 3 periodSeconds: 5 Create the pod. $ kubectl create -f livenesscmd.yaml Looking at the events, you can see the pod being creating going into a unhealthy state, and then starting a new container. $ kubectl describe pod liveness Events: Type Reason Age From Message ---- ------ ---- ---- ------- Normal Scheduled 1m default-scheduler Successfully assigned liveness-exec to minikube Normal SuccessfulMountVolume 1m kubelet, minikube MountVolume.SetUp succeeded for volume "default-token-fpffp" Warning Unhealthy 33s (x3 over 43s) kubelet, minikube Liveness probe failed: cat: can't open '/tmp/healthy': No such file or directory Normal Pulling 2s (x2 over 1m) kubelet, minikube pulling image "k8s.gcr.io/busybox" Normal Pulled 2s (x2 over 1m) kubelet, minikube Successfully pulled image "k8s.gcr.io/busybox" Normal Created 2s (x2 over 1m) kubelet, minikube Created container Normal Killing 2s kubelet, minikube Killing container with id docker://liveness:Container failed liveness probe.. Container will be killed and recreated. Normal Started 1s (x2 over 1m) kubelet, minikube Started container As well as the Liveness command, there are two other types of Liveness checks, Liveness HTTP Request and TCP Liveness Probe.

  Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time A lot of us do not know what epoch means? In this context the definition is: A point of time distinguished by a particular event or state of affairs; a memorable date. It is the number of seconds passed since beginning of 00:00:00 UTC Thursday 1, January 1970 minus the number of leap seconds. This applies to all Unix-like systems.
