How to Restart All Pods in a Kubernetes Namespace

How To Restart All Pods in a Kubernetes Namespace

The post How to Restart All Pods in a Kubernetes Namespace first appeared on Qvault.

Where I work we use a repo-per-namespace setup and so it is often the case that I want to restart all the pods and deployments in a single Kubernetes namespace. Maybe I want to see the startup logs, maybe I want to take down production for a few seconds, don’t question my motivations.

Anyhow, what does matter is that bouncing all the deployments one-by-one is really obnoxious and I don’t like typing. In true developer laziness fashion I wrote a little script that will do it for me:

deploys=`kubectl -n $1 get deployments | tail -n +2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
for deploy in $deploys; do
  kubectl -n $1 rollout restart deployments/$deploy
done

The usage is fairly simple, assuming we named the file kubebounce.sh

./kubebounce.sh {NAMESPACE}

I made a little open-source repo with installation instructions if you want to add it to your $PATH. Be sure to star the repo if you find it useful.

How It Works

Bash isn’t exactly the easiest language to read. Let’s go over each portion of the script.

deploys=`kubectl -n $1 get deployments | tail -n +2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1`

In bash, $1 refers to the first command-line argument, the namespace in our case. In essence, this line gets all the deployments in the target namespaces and saves them into a deploys variable. We pipe the output of the kubectl get deployments command into a tail -n +2 command, which just strips of the first line of the output. Then we run that output through a cut command which leaves us with a nice list of all the deployment names.

That’s actually the trickier part, next we just loop over all the deployments and restart them one-by-one:

for deploy in $deploys; do
  kubectl -n $1 rollout restart deployments/$deploy
done

Why is Exclusive Or (XOR) Important in Cryptography?

Image
If you are getting into cryptography, or just trying to understand the fundamentals, you may have noticed that the exclusive-or operation is used quite often, especially in ciphers. What is XOR ( ⊕ )? XOR, or “exclusive or” operates on binary data. It returns true if both of its inputs are opposites (one false and one true), otherwise, it returns false. An example in go code would be something like: func exclusiveOr(a bool, b bool) bool { return a != b } XOR Cipher – The Perfect Cipher The XOR operation can be used as a simple cipher for encrypting and decrypting messages with a single key. This is known as symmetric encryption. It is interesting to note that if: The key is the same size as the message The key is kept secret and generated truly randomly Then the cipher is impossible to crack. This is known as a one time pad . However, a simple XOR shouldn’t be used in production due to the key length needing to be too long to be practical. Cipher Example A...

Base64 vs Base58 Encoding

Image
By Lane Wagner –  @wagslane  on Twitter Base64 is one of the most popular encoding formats for representing data. Have some binary data? Base64 encode it for convenient readability and parsing. Base58 is just another encoding format (with 58 characters instead of 64, and has gained popularity largely due to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. When it comes to data encoding, there is typically a trade-off made between: Human Readability: Do humans have a good idea of what is being represented at a glance? Efficient data compression: How many bytes are used to represent the same data? Let’s rank Base58, Base64, and ASCII encoding against each other using these metrics! First: A Note on Binary All data is stored in a raw binary format on computers. These encoding formats (Base64, Base58, and ASCII) are just different ways of reading and writing binary data. For example, in Base64 the binary code 000000 represents the letter A , but in ASCII the binary 00000000 repres...

(Very) Basic Intro to Hash Functions (SHA-256, MD-5, etc)

Image
This is going to be a basic introduction to hash functions. I will assume most of my audience is here to gain an understanding of why hash functions are used and the basic idea of why they work. My goal is to explain it in a general sense, I will be omitting proofs and implementation details and instead focusing on the high-level principles. Why Use A Hash Function? Hash functions are used all over the internet in order to securely store passwords, find duplicate records, quickly store and retrieve data, and more. For example,  Qvault  uses hashes to extend master passwords into private encryption keys. A longer list of uses here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function#Uses I want to focus on several important features of hash functions, arguably the most important features. Hash functions scramble data deterministically No matter the input, the output of a hash function always has the same size The original data can not be retrieved from the scrambled d...
