Kubernetes API Interaction

Understanding how the library interacts with the Kubernetes API, including methods for creating, reading, updating, and deleting resources.

Reason

This is the core functionality of the library, allowing users to interact with Kubernetes clusters programmatically.

Authentication and Authorization

Exploring different authentication mechanisms like kubeconfig files, service accounts, and in-cluster configuration.

Reason

Understanding how the library authenticates with Kubernetes clusters is crucial for secure access and authorization.

Resource Models

Familiarizing yourself with the C# models representing Kubernetes resources like Pods, Deployments, Services, etc.

Reason

These models are the building blocks for interacting with Kubernetes resources, and understanding their structure is essential for manipulating and querying them.

Client Configuration and Initialization

Learning how to configure the Kubernetes client with different settings, like API server URL, authentication methods, and connection parameters.

Reason

Proper configuration ensures the client can connect to the target Kubernetes cluster and operate correctly.

API Version Management

Understanding how the library handles different versions of the Kubernetes API and ensures compatibility.

Reason

Kubernetes evolves over time, with new versions and features. The library needs to manage compatibility with different versions of the API.

Error Handling and Exceptions

Understanding how the library handles errors and throws exceptions during communication with the Kubernetes API.

Reason

Proper error handling is crucial for identifying and addressing problems when interacting with the API.

Asynchronous Operations

Learning how to perform asynchronous operations with the Kubernetes API, allowing for more efficient and responsive applications.

Reason

Asynchronous operations improve performance by allowing the application to continue processing while waiting for responses from the API.

Testing and Debugging

Exploring the provided unit tests and how to effectively debug code related to the library.

Reason

Understanding the test suite helps identify and fix potential issues. Debugging tools are vital for diagnosing problems during development.

Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD)

Learning about the library’s CI/CD pipeline, including how to build, test, and deploy the library.

Reason

Understanding the CI/CD pipeline ensures a smooth and automated workflow for development, testing, and release.

Security

Analyzing the library’s security measures and best practices for securing applications that use the library.

Reason

Security is paramount for applications interacting with Kubernetes. This topic covers measures to protect against attacks and vulnerabilities.

Monitoring and Logging

Understanding how the library can be integrated with monitoring and logging tools to track performance and identify issues.
