  • Affinität

    In Kubernetes, ist Affinität ein Satz Regeln, die dem Scheduler Hinweise geben, wo er Pods platzieren soll.

    [+]

    Es gibt zwei Arten Affinität:

    Die Regeln werden mithilfe der in Pods angegebenen Label und Selektoren definiert, und sie können entweder erforderlich oder bevorzugt sein, je nachdem wie streng sie möchten, dass der Scheduler sie durchsetzen soll.

  • Aggregationsschicht

    Die Aggregationsschicht erlaubt Ihnen die Installation zusätzlicher Kubernetes-artiger APIs in Ihrem Cluster.

    [+]

    Wenn Sie den Kubernetes API Server konfiguriert haben um zusätzliche APIs zu unterstützen, können Sie APIService Objekte hinzufügen, um einen URL Pfad in der Kubernetes API zu "belegen".

    API-initiierte Räumung ist der Prozess, durch den Sie die Räumungs API verwenden, um ein Räumungsobjekt zu erstellen, dass eine geordnete Beendung des Pods auslöst.

    [+]

    Sie können Räumung anfragen, indem Sie direkt die Räumungs API verwenden, mithilfe eines Clients des kube-api-servers, wie der kubectl drain Befehl. Wenn ein Räumungs Objekt erstellt wird, beendet der API Server den Pod.

    API-initiierte Räumungen respektieren Ihre konfigurierte PodDisruptionBudgets und terminationGracePeriodSeconds.

    API-initiierte Räumung ist nicht das gleiche wie Knotendruck Räumung.

  • App Container

    Anwendungscontainer (oder App Container) sind die Container in einem Pod, die gestartet werden, nachdem jegliche Init Container abgeschlossen haben.

    [+]

    Ein Init Container erlaubt es Ihnen Initialisierungsdetails, die wichtig sind für die gesamte Arbeitslast, und die nicht mehr weiter laufen müssen, sobald der Anwendungscontainer startet, sauber abzutrennen. Wenn ein Pod keine Init Container konfiguriert hat, sind alle Container in diesem Pod App Container.

  • Approver

    Eine Person, die Kubernetes Code Beiträge überprüfen und zulassen kann.

    [+]

    Während Code Review sich auf Qualität und Korrektheit des Codes konzentriert, ist das Genehmigen auf die holistische Akzeptanz eines Beitrags fokussiert. Holistische Akzeptanz achtet unter anderem auf Rückwärts- und Vorwärtskompatibilität, beachten der API und Flag Konventionen, subtile Performance- und Korrektheitsprobleme, und Interaktionen mit anderen Teilendes Systems. Approver Status ist begrenzt auf einen Teil des gesamten Codes (Codebase). Approver wurden früher Maintainer genannt.

  • cAdvisor

    [+]

    Es ist ein laufender Daemon, der Informationen über laufende Container sammelt, aggregiert, verarbeitet, und exportiert. Genauer gesagt, speichert es für jeden Container die Ressourcenisolationsparameter, den historischen Ressourcenverbrauch, die Histogramme des kompletten historischen Ressourcenverbrauchs und die Netzwerkstatistiken. Diese Daten werden pro Container und maschinenweit exportiert.

  • cgroup (control group)

    Eine Gruppe Linux Prozesse mit optionaler Isolation, Erfassung und Begrenzung der Ressourcen.

    [+]

    cgroup ist eine Funktion des Linux Kernels, dass die Ressourcennutzung (CPU, Speicher, Platten I/O, Netzwerk) begrenzt, erfasst und isoliert, für eine Sammling Prozesse.

  • CIDR

    CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) ist eine Notation, um Blöcke von IP Adressen zu beschreiben und wird viel verwendet in verschiedenen Netzwerkkonfigurationen.

    [+]

    Im Kubernetes Kontext, erhält jeder Knoten eine Reihe von IP Adressen durch die Startadresse und eine Subnetzmaske unter Verwendung von CIDR. Dies erlaubt Knoten jedem Pod eine eigene IP Adresse zuzuweisen. Obwohl es ursprünglich ein Konzept für IPv4 ist, wurde CIDR erweitert um auch IPv6 einzubinden.

  • CLA (Contributor License Agreement)

    Bedingungen unter denen ein Mitwirkender eine Lizenz an ein Open Source Projekt erteilt für seine Mitwirkungen.

    [+]

    CLAs helfen dabei rechtliche Streitigkeiten rund um Mitwirkungen und geistigem Eigentum (IP) zu lösen.

  • Cloud Controller Manager

    Eine Kubernetes Control Plane Komponente, die Cloud spezifische Kontrolllogik einbettet. Der Cloud Controller Manager lässt Sie Ihr Cluster in die Cloud Provider API einbinden, und trennt die Komponenten die mit der Cloud Platform interagieren von Komponenten, die nur mit Ihrem Cluster interagieren.

    [+]

    Durch Entkopplung der Interoperabilitätslogik zwischen Kubernetes und der darunterliegenden Cloud Infrastruktur, ermöglicht der Cloud Controller Manager den Cloud Providern das Freigeben neuer Features in einem anderen Tempo als das Kubernetes Projekt.

  • Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)

    The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) builds sustainable ecosystems and fosters a community around projects that orchestrate containers as part of a microservices architecture.

    Kubernetes is a CNCF project.

    [+]

  • Cloud Provider
    Auch bekannt als: Cloud Service Provider

    A business or other organization that offers a cloud computing platform.

    [+]

    Cloud providers, sometimes called Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), offer cloud computing platforms or services.

    Many cloud providers offer managed infrastructure (also called Infrastructure as a Service or IaaS). With managed infrastructure the cloud provider is responsible for servers, storage, and networking while you manage layers on top of that such as running a Kubernetes cluster.

    You can also find Kubernetes as a managed service; sometimes called Platform as a Service, or PaaS. With managed Kubernetes, your cloud provider is responsible for the Kubernetes control plane as well as the nodes and the infrastructure they rely on: networking, storage, and possibly other elements such as load balancers.

  • Cluster

    Ein Satz Arbeitermaschinen, gennant Knoten, die containerisierte Anwendungen ausführen. Jedes Cluster hat mindestens einen Arbeiterknoten.

    [+]

    Die Arbeiterknoten bringen die Pods unter, die die Komponenten der Applikationslast sind. Die Control Plane verwaltet die Arbeiterknoten und Pods im Cluster. In Produktionsumgebungen läuft die Control Plane meistens über mehrere Computer, und ein Cluster hat meistens mehrere Knoten, um Fehlertoleranz und Hochverfügbarkeit zu ermöglichen.

  • Cluster Architect

    A person who designs infrastructure that involves one or more Kubernetes clusters.

    [+]

    Cluster architects are concerned with best practices for distributed systems, for example: high availability and security.

  • Cluster Infrastructure
    The infrastructure layer provides and maintains VMs, networking, security groups and others. [+]

    The infrastructure layer provides and maintains VMs, networking, security groups and others.

  • Cluster Operations

    The work involved in managing a Kubernetes cluster: managing day-to-day operations, and co-ordinating upgrades.

    [+]

    Examples of cluster operations work include: deploying new Nodes to scale the cluster; performing software upgrades; implementing security controls; adding or removing storage; configuring cluster networking; managing cluster-wide observability; and responding to events.

  • Cluster Operator

    A person who configures, controls, and monitors clusters.

    [+]

    Their primary responsibility is keeping a cluster up and running, which may involve periodic maintenance activities or upgrades.

  • Code Contributor

    [+]

    They are also an active community member who participates in one or more Special Interest Groups (SIGs).

  • ConfigMap

    An API object used to store non-confidential data in key-value pairs. Pods can consume ConfigMaps as environment variables, command-line arguments, or as configuration files in a volume.

    [+]

    A ConfigMap allows you to decouple environment-specific configuration from your container images, so that your applications are easily portable.

  • Container

    Ein kleines und portierbares ausführbares Image, dass eine Software und all seine Abhängigkeiten enthält.

    [+]

    Container entkuppeln Anwendungen von der darunterliegenden Rechner Infrastruktur, um den Einsatz in verschiedenen Cloud- oder Betriebssystemumgebungen zu vereinfachen. Die Anwendungen in Container nennt man Containerisierte Anwendungen. Der Prozess des Bündelns dieser Anwendungen und ihrer Abhängigkeiten in einem Container Image nennt man Containerisierung.

  • Container Environment Variables

    Container environment variables are name=value pairs that provide useful information into containers running in a pod

    [+]

    Container environment variables provide information that is required by the running containerized applications along with information about important resources to the containers. For example, file system details, information about the container itself, and other cluster resources such as service endpoints.

  • Container Lifecycle Hooks

    The lifecycle hooks expose events in the Container management lifecycle and let the user run code when the events occur.

    [+]

    Two hooks are exposed to Containers: PostStart which executes immediately after a container is created and PreStop which is blocking and is called immediately before a container is terminated.

  • Container network interface (CNI)

    Container network interface (CNI) plugins are a type of Network plugin that adheres to the appc/CNI specification.

    [+]
  • Container Runtime

    A fundamental component that empowers Kubernetes to run containers effectively. It is responsible for managing the execution and lifecycle of containers within the Kubernetes environment.

    [+]

    Kubernetes supports container runtimes such as containerd, CRI-O, and any other implementation of the Kubernetes CRI (Container Runtime Interface).

  • Container Runtime Interface

    The main protocol for the communication between the kubelet and Container Runtime.

    [+]

    The Kubernetes Container Runtime Interface (CRI) defines the main gRPC protocol for the communication between the node components kubelet and container runtime.

  • Container runtime interface (CRI)

    The container runtime interface (CRI) is an API for container runtimes to integrate with the kubelet on a node.

    [+]

    For more information, see the CRI API and specifications.

  • Container Storage Interface (CSI)

    The Container Storage Interface (CSI) defines a standard interface to expose storage systems to containers.

    [+]

    CSI allows vendors to create custom storage plugins for Kubernetes without adding them to the Kubernetes repository (out-of-tree plugins). To use a CSI driver from a storage provider, you must first deploy it to your cluster. You will then be able to create a Storage Class that uses that CSI driver.

  • containerd

    A container runtime with an emphasis on simplicity, robustness and portability

    [+]

    containerd is a container runtime that runs as a daemon on Linux or Windows. containerd takes care of fetching and storing container images, executing containers, providing network access, and more.

  • Contributor

    Someone who donates code, documentation, or their time to help the Kubernetes project or community.

    [+]

    Contributions include pull requests (PRs), issues, feedback, special interest groups (SIG) participation, or organizing community events.

  • Control Plane

    Die Container Orchestrierungsschicht, die die API und Schnittstellen exponiert, um den Lebenszyklus von Container zu definieren, bereitzustellen, und zu verwalten.

    [+]

    Diese Schicht besteht aus vielen verschiedenen Komponenten, zum Beispiel (aber nicht begranzt auf):

    Diese Komponenten können als traditionelle Betriebssystemdienste (daemons) oder als Container laufen. Die Hosts auf denen diese Komponenten laufen, hießen früher Master.

  • Controller

    In Kubernetes sind Controller Kontrollschleifen, die den Zustand des Clusters überwachen und bei Bedarf Änderungen ausführen oder anfordern. Jeder Controller versucht, den aktuellen Clusterzustand in Richtung des Wunschzustands zu bewegen.

    [+]

    Controller beobachten den geteilten Zustand des Clusters durch den API Server (Teil der Control Plane).

    Mache Controller, laufen auch im Control Plane, und stellen Kontrollschleifen zur Verfügung, die essentiell für die grundlegende Kubernetes Funktionalität sind. Zum Beispiel: der Deployment Controller, der Daemonset Controller, der Namespace Controller und der Persistent Volume Controller (unter anderem) laufen alle innerhalb des Kube Controller Managers.

  • CRI-O

    A tool that lets you use OCI container runtimes with Kubernetes CRI.

    [+]

    CRI-O is an implementation of the Container runtime interface (CRI) to enable using container runtimes that are compatible with the Open Container Initiative (OCI) runtime spec.

    Deploying CRI-O allows Kubernetes to use any OCI-compliant runtime as the container runtime for running Pods, and to fetch OCI container images from remote registries.

  • CronJob

    Manages a Job that runs on a periodic schedule.

    [+]

    Similar to a line in a crontab file, a CronJob object specifies a schedule using the cron format.

  • CustomResourceDefinition

    Custom code that defines a resource to add to your Kubernetes API server without building a complete custom server.

    [+]

    Custom Resource Definitions let you extend the Kubernetes API for your environment if the publicly supported API resources can't meet your needs.

  • DaemonSet

    Ensures a copy of a Pod is running across a set of nodes in a cluster.

    [+]

    Used to deploy system daemons such as log collectors and monitoring agents that typically must run on every Node.

  • Data Plane
    The layer that provides capacity such as CPU, memory, network, and storage so that the containers can run and connect to a network. [+]

    The layer that provides capacity such as CPU, memory, network, and storage so that the containers can run and connect to a network.

  • Deployment

    Ein API Object, das eine replizierte Anwendung verwaltet, typischerweise durch laufende Pods ohne lokalem Zustand.

    [+]

    Jedes Replikat wird durch ein Pod repräsentiert, und die Pods werden auf den Knoten eines Clusters verteilt. Für Arbeitslasten, die einen lokalen Zustand benötigen, sollten Sie einen StatefulSet verwenden.

  • Developer (disambiguation)

    May refer to: Application Developer, Code Contributor, or Platform Developer.

    [+]

    This overloaded term may have different meanings depending on the context

  • Device Plugin

    Device plugins run on worker Nodes and provide Pods with access to resources, such as local hardware, that require vendor-specific initialization or setup steps.

    [+]

    Device plugins advertise resources to the kubelet, so that workload Pods can access hardware features that relate to the Node where that Pod is running. You can deploy a device plugin as a DaemonSet, or install the device plugin software directly on each target Node.

    See Device Plugins for more information.

  • Disruption

    Disruptions are events that lead to one or more Pods going out of service. A disruption has consequences for workload resources, such as Deployment, that rely on the affected Pods.

    [+]

    If you, as cluster operator, destroy a Pod that belongs to an application, Kubernetes terms that a voluntary disruption. If a Pod goes offline because of a Node failure, or an outage affecting a wider failure zone, Kubernetes terms that an involuntary disruption.

    See Disruptions for more information.

  • Docker

    Docker (genauer gesagt, Docker Engine) ist eine Software Technologie, die Virtualisierung auf Betriebssystemebene (auch bekannt als Container) bereitstellt.

    [+]

    Docker verwendet die Ressourcenisolierungsfunktionen des Linux Kernels, wie cgroups und Kernel Namespaces, und ein Unionsfähiges Dateisystem wie OverlayFS (unter anderem), um unabhängige Container auf einer einzigen Linux Instanz auszuführen. Dies vermeidet den Mehraufwand des Starten und Verwalten virtueller Maschinen (VMs).

  • Dockershim

    The dockershim is a component of Kubernetes version 1.23 and earlier. It allows the kubelet to communicate with Docker Engine.

    [+]

    Starting with version 1.24, dockershim has been removed from Kubernetes. For more information, see Dockershim FAQ.

  • Downstream (disambiguation)

    May refer to: code in the Kubernetes ecosystem that depends upon the core Kubernetes codebase or a forked repo.

    [+]
    • In the Kubernetes Community: Conversations often use downstream to mean the ecosystem, code, or third-party tools that rely on the core Kubernetes codebase. For example, a new feature in Kubernetes may be adopted by applications downstream to improve their functionality.
    • In GitHub or git: The convention is to refer to a forked repo as downstream, whereas the source repo is considered upstream.
  • Downward API

    Kubernetes' mechanism to expose Pod and container field values to code running in a container.

    [+]

    It is sometimes useful for a container to have information about itself, without needing to make changes to the container code that directly couple it to Kubernetes.

    The Kubernetes downward API allows containers to consume information about themselves or their context in a Kubernetes cluster. Applications in containers can have access to that information, without the application needing to act as a client of the Kubernetes API.

    There are two ways to expose Pod and container fields to a running container:

    Together, these two ways of exposing Pod and container fields are called the downward API.

  • Dynamic Volume Provisioning

    Allows users to request automatic creation of storage Volumes.

    [+]

    Dynamic provisioning eliminates the need for cluster administrators to pre-provision storage. Instead, it automatically provisions storage by user request. Dynamic volume provisioning is based on an API object, StorageClass, referring to a Volume Plugin that provisions a Volume and the set of parameters to pass to the Volume Plugin.

  • Endpoints

    Endpoints track the IP addresses of Pods with matching selectors.

    [+]

    Endpoints can be configured manually for Services without selectors specified. The EndpointSlice resource provides a scalable and extensible alternative to Endpoints.

  • EndpointSlice

    A way to group network endpoints together with Kubernetes resources.

    [+]

    A scalable and extensible way to group network endpoints together. These can be used by kube-proxy to establish network routes on each node.

  • Ephemeral Container

    A Container type that you can temporarily run inside a Pod.

    [+]

    If you want to investigate a Pod that's running with problems, you can add an ephemeral container to that Pod and carry out diagnostics. Ephemeral containers have no resource or scheduling guarantees, and you should not use them to run any part of the workload itself.

    Ephemeral containers are not supported by static pods.

  • etcd

    Konsistenter und hochverfügbarer Key-Value Speicher, der als Backupspeicher von Kubernetes für alle Clusterdaten verwendet wird.

    [+]

    Halten Sie immer einen Sicherungsplan für etcds Daten für Ihren Kubernetes-Cluster bereit. Ausführliche Informationen zu etcd finden Sie in der etcd Dokumentation.

  • Event

    Event is a Kubernetes object that describes state change/notable occurrences in the system.

    [+]

    Events have a limited retention time and triggers and messages may evolve with time. Event consumers should not rely on the timing of an event with a given reason reflecting a consistent underlying trigger, or the continued existence of events with that reason.

    Events should be treated as informative, best-effort, supplemental data.

    In Kubernetes, auditing generates a different kind of Event record (API group audit.k8s.io).

  • Eviction

    Eviction is the process of terminating one or more Pods on Nodes.

    [+]

    There are two kinds of eviction:

  • Extensions

    Extensions are software components that extend and deeply integrate with Kubernetes to support new types of hardware.

    [+]

    Many cluster administrators use a hosted or distribution instance of Kubernetes. These clusters come with extensions pre-installed. As a result, most Kubernetes users will not need to install extensions and even fewer users will need to author new ones.

  • Feature gate

    Feature gates are a set of keys (opaque string values) that you can use to control which Kubernetes features are enabled in your cluster.

    [+]

    You can turn these features on or off using the --feature-gates command line flag on each Kubernetes component. Each Kubernetes component lets you enable or disable a set of feature gates that are relevant to that component. The Kubernetes documentation lists all current feature gates and what they control.

  • Finalizer

    Finalizers are namespaced keys that tell Kubernetes to wait until specific conditions are met before it fully deletes resources marked for deletion. Finalizers alert controllers to clean up resources the deleted object owned.

    [+]

    When you tell Kubernetes to delete an object that has finalizers specified for it, the Kubernetes API marks the object for deletion by populating .metadata.deletionTimestamp, and returns a 202 status code (HTTP "Accepted"). The target object remains in a terminating state while the control plane, or other components, take the actions defined by the finalizers. After these actions are complete, the controller removes the relevant finalizers from the target object. When the metadata.finalizers field is empty, Kubernetes considers the deletion complete and deletes the object.

    You can use finalizers to control garbage collection of resources. For example, you can define a finalizer to clean up related resources or infrastructure before the controller deletes the target resource.

  • FlexVolume

    FlexVolume is a deprecated interface for creating out-of-tree volume plugins. The Container Storage Interface is a newer interface that addresses several problems with FlexVolume.

    [+]

    FlexVolumes enable users to write their own drivers and add support for their volumes in Kubernetes. FlexVolume driver binaries and dependencies must be installed on host machines. This requires root access. The Storage SIG suggests implementing a CSI driver if possible since it addresses the limitations with FlexVolumes.

  • Garbage Collection

    Garbage collection is a collective term for the various mechanisms Kubernetes uses to clean up cluster resources.

    [+]

    Kubernetes uses garbage collection to clean up resources like unused containers and images, failed Pods, objects owned by the targeted resource, completed Jobs, and resources that have expired or failed.

  • Gateway API

    A family of API kinds for modeling service networking in Kubernetes.

    [+]

    Gateway API provides a family of extensible, role-oriented, protocol-aware API kinds for modeling service networking in Kubernetes.

  • Group Version Resource
    Auch bekannt als: GVR

    Means of representing unique Kubernetes API resource.

    [+]

    Group Version Resources (GVRs) specify the API group, API version, and resource (name for the object kind as it appears in the URI) associated with accessing a particular id of object in Kubernetes. GVRs let you define and distinguish different Kubernetes objects, and to specify a way of accessing objects that is stable even as APIs change.

  • Helm Chart

    A package of pre-configured Kubernetes resources that can be managed with the Helm tool.

    [+]

    Charts provide a reproducible way of creating and sharing Kubernetes applications. A single chart can be used to deploy something simple, like a memcached Pod, or something complex, like a full web app stack with HTTP servers, databases, caches, and so on.

  • Horizontal Pod Autoscaler
    Auch bekannt als: HPA

    An API resource that automatically scales the number of Pod replicas based on targeted CPU utilization or custom metric targets.

    [+]

    HPA is typically used with ReplicationControllers, Deployments, or ReplicaSets. It cannot be applied to objects that cannot be scaled, for example DaemonSets.

  • HostAliases

    A HostAliases is a mapping between the IP address and hostname to be injected into a Pod's hosts file.

    [+]

    HostAliases is an optional list of hostnames and IP addresses that will be injected into the Pod's hosts file if specified. This is only valid for non-hostNetwork Pods.

  • Image

    Stored instance of a Container that holds a set of software needed to run an application.

    [+]

    A way of packaging software that allows it to be stored in a container registry, pulled to a local system, and run as an application. Meta data is included in the image that can indicate what executable to run, who built it, and other information.

  • Immutable Infrastructure

    Immutable Infrastructure refers to computer infrastructure (virtual machines, containers, network appliances) that cannot be changed once deployed.

    [+]

    Immutability can be enforced by an automated process that overwrites unauthorized changes or through a system that won’t allow changes in the first place. Containers are a good example of immutable infrastructure because persistent changes to containers can only be made by creating a new version of the container or recreating the existing container from its image.

    By preventing or identifying unauthorized changes, immutable infrastructures make it easier to identify and mitigate security risks. Operating such a system becomes a lot more straightforward because administrators can make assumptions about it. After all, they know no one made mistakes or changes they forgot to communicate. Immutable infrastructure goes hand-in-hand with infrastructure as code where all automation needed to create infrastructure is stored in version control (such as Git). This combination of immutability and version control means that there is a durable audit log of every authorized change to a system.

  • Ingress

    An API object that manages external access to the services in a cluster, typically HTTP.

    [+]

    Ingress may provide load balancing, SSL termination and name-based virtual hosting.

  • Init Container

    One or more initialization containers that must run to completion before any app containers run.

    [+]

    Initialization (init) containers are like regular app containers, with one difference: init containers must run to completion before any app containers can start. Init containers run in series: each init container must run to completion before the next init container begins.

    Unlike sidecar containers, init containers do not remain running after Pod startup.

    For more information, read init containers.

  • Istio

    An open platform (not Kubernetes-specific) that provides a uniform way to integrate microservices, manage traffic flow, enforce policies, and aggregate telemetry data.

    [+]

    Adding Istio does not require changing application code. It is a layer of infrastructure between a service and the network, which when combined with service deployments, is commonly referred to as a service mesh. Istio's control plane abstracts away the underlying cluster management platform, which may be Kubernetes, Mesosphere, etc.

  • Job

    A finite or batch task that runs to completion.

    [+]

    Creates one or more Pod objects and ensures that a specified number of them successfully terminate. As Pods successfully complete, the Job tracks the successful completions.

  • JSON Web Token (JWT)

    A means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties.

    [+]

    JWTs can be digitally signed and encrypted. Kubernetes uses JWTs as authentication tokens to verify the identity of entities that want to perform actions in a cluster.

  • Knoten

    Ein Knoten ist eine Arbietermaschine in Kubernetes.

    [+]

    Ein Arbeiterknoten kann eine virtuelle Maschine oder physische Maschine sein, abhängig vom Cluster. Es hat lokale Daemons und Dienste, die nötig sind um Pods auszuführen, und wird von der Control Plane administriert. Die Daemonen auf einem Knoten beinhalten auch das kubelet, kube-proxy, und eine Container Runtime, die ein CRI, wie zum Beispiel Docker. implementieren.

    In älteren Kubernetes Versionen wurden Knoten "Minions" genannt.

  • kOps (Kubernetes Operations)

    kOps will not only help you create, destroy, upgrade and maintain production-grade, highly available, Kubernetes cluster, but it will also provision the necessary cloud infrastructure.

    [+]

    kOps is an automated provisioning system:

  • kube-proxy

    kube-proxy is a network proxy that runs on each node in your cluster, implementing part of the Kubernetes Service concept.

    [+]

    kube-proxy maintains network rules on nodes. These network rules allow network communication to your Pods from network sessions inside or outside of your cluster.

    kube-proxy uses the operating system packet filtering layer if there is one and it's available. Otherwise, kube-proxy forwards the traffic itself.

  • kube-scheduler

    Komponente auf der Control Plane, die neu erstellte Pods überwacht, denen kein Knoten zugewiesen ist. Sie wählt den Knoten aus, auf dem sie ausgeführt werden sollen.

    [+]

    Das Kubelet verwendet eine Reihe von PodSpecs, die über verschiedene Mechanismen bereitgestellt werden, und stellt sicher, dass die in diesen PodSpecs beschriebenen Container ordnungsgemäß ausgeführt werden. Das kubelet verwaltet keine Container, die nicht von Kubernetes erstellt wurden.

  • Kubernetes API

    The application that serves Kubernetes functionality through a RESTful interface and stores the state of the cluster.

    [+]

    Kubernetes resources and "records of intent" are all stored as API objects, and modified via RESTful calls to the API. The API allows configuration to be managed in a declarative way. Users can interact with the Kubernetes API directly, or via tools like kubectl. The core Kubernetes API is flexible and can also be extended to support custom resources.

  • Label

    Kennzeichnet Objekte mit identifizierenden Attributen, die sinnvoll und relevant für die Nutzer sind.

    [+]

    Labels sind Key-Value Paare, die an Objekte gebunden sind, zum Beispiel Pods. Sie werden verwendet, um eine Untermenge Objekte zu organisieren und auszuwählen.

  • LimitRange

    Provides constraints to limit resource consumption per Containers or Pods in a namespace.

    [+]

    LimitRange limits the quantity of objects that can be created by type, as well as the amount of compute resources that may be requested/consumed by individual Containers or Pods in a namespace.

  • Logging

    Logs are the list of events that are logged by cluster or application.

    [+]

    Application and systems logs can help you understand what is happening inside your cluster. The logs are particularly useful for debugging problems and monitoring cluster activity.

  • Managed Service

    A software offering maintained by a third-party provider.

    [+]

    Some examples of Managed Services are AWS EC2, Azure SQL Database, and GCP Pub/Sub, but they can be any software offering that can be used by an application.

  • Manifest

    Specification of a Kubernetes API object in JSON or YAML format.

    [+]

    A manifest specifies the desired state of an object that Kubernetes will maintain when you apply the manifest. Each configuration file can contain multiple manifests.

  • Master

    Veralteter Begriff, verwendet als Synonym für die Knoten auf denen die Control Plane läuft.

    [+]

    Dieser Begriff wird noch durch einige Provisionierungswerkzeuge verwendet, wie zum Beispiel kubeadm, und gemanagte Dienste, um Knoten mit dem kubernetes.io/role Label zu kennzeichnen, und Pods auf der Control Plane zu platzieren.

  • Member

    A continuously active contributor in the K8s community.

    [+]

    Members can have issues and PRs assigned to them and participate in special interest groups (SIGs) through GitHub teams. Pre-submit tests are automatically run for members' PRs. A member is expected to remain an active contributor to the community.

  • Minikube

    A tool for running Kubernetes locally.

    [+]

    Minikube runs a single-node cluster inside a VM on your computer. You can use Minikube to try Kubernetes in a learning environment.

  • Mirror Pod

    A pod object that a kubelet uses to represent a static pod

    [+]

    When the kubelet finds a static pod in its configuration, it automatically tries to create a Pod object on the Kubernetes API server for it. This means that the pod will be visible on the API server, but cannot be controlled from there.

    (For example, removing a mirror pod will not stop the kubelet daemon from running it).

  • Mixed Version Proxy (MVP)
    Auch bekannt als: MVP

    Feature to let a kube-apiserver proxy a resource request to a different peer API server.

    [+]

    When a cluster has multiple API servers running different versions of Kubernetes, this feature enables resource requests to be served by the correct API server.

    MVP is disabled by default and can be activated by enabling the feature gate named UnknownVersionInteroperabilityProxy when the API Server is started.

  • Name

    A client-provided string that refers to an object in a resource URL, such as /api/v1/pods/some-name.

    [+]

    Only one object of a given kind can have a given name at a time. However, if you delete the object, you can make a new object with the same name.

  • Namespace

    An abstraction used by Kubernetes to support isolation of groups of resources within a single cluster.

    [+]

    Namespaces are used to organize objects in a cluster and provide a way to divide cluster resources. Names of resources need to be unique within a namespace, but not across namespaces. Namespace-based scoping is applicable only for namespaced objects (e.g. Deployments, Services, etc) and not for cluster-wide objects (e.g. StorageClass, Nodes, PersistentVolumes, etc).

  • Network Policy

    A specification of how groups of Pods are allowed to communicate with each other and with other network endpoints.

    [+]

    Network Policies help you declaratively configure which Pods are allowed to connect to each other, which namespaces are allowed to communicate, and more specifically which port numbers to enforce each policy on. NetworkPolicy resources use labels to select Pods and define rules which specify what traffic is allowed to the selected Pods. Network Policies are implemented by a supported network plugin provided by a network provider. Be aware that creating a network resource without a controller to implement it will have no effect.

  • Node-pressure eviction
    Auch bekannt als: kubelet eviction

    Node-pressure eviction is the process by which the kubelet proactively terminates pods to reclaim resources on nodes.

    [+]

    The kubelet monitors resources like CPU, memory, disk space, and filesystem inodes on your cluster's nodes. When one or more of these resources reach specific consumption levels, the kubelet can proactively fail one or more pods on the node to reclaim resources and prevent starvation.

    Node-pressure eviction is not the same as API-initiated eviction.

  • Objekt

    Eine Einheit im Kubernetessystem. Die Kubernetes API verwendet diese Einheiten um den Zustand Ihres Clusters darzustellen.

    [+]

    Ein Kubernetes Objekt ist typischerweise ein "Datenstatz der Absicht"—sobald Sie das Objekt erstellen, arbeitet die Kubernetes Control Plane ständig, um zu versichern, dass das Element, welches es darstellt, auch existiert. Durch erstellen eines Objekts, erzählen Sie grundsätzlich dem Kubernetessystem wie dieser Teil der Arbeitslast Ihres Clusters aussehen soll; das ist der Wunschzustand Ihres Clusters.

  • Operator pattern

    The operator pattern is a system design that links a Controller to one or more custom resources.

    [+]

    You can extend Kubernetes by adding controllers to your cluster, beyond the built-in controllers that come as part of Kubernetes itself.

    If a running application acts as a controller and has API access to carry out tasks against a custom resource that's defined in the control plane, that's an example of the Operator pattern.

  • Persistent Volume

    An API object that represents a piece of storage in the cluster. Available as a general, pluggable resource that persists beyond the lifecycle of any individual Pod.

    [+]

    PersistentVolumes (PVs) provide an API that abstracts details of how storage is provided from how it is consumed. PVs are used directly in scenarios where storage can be created ahead of time (static provisioning). For scenarios that require on-demand storage (dynamic provisioning), PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs) are used instead.

  • Persistent Volume Claim

    Claims storage resources defined in a PersistentVolume so that it can be mounted as a volume in a container.

    [+]

    Specifies the amount of storage, how the storage will be accessed (read-only, read-write and/or exclusive) and how it is reclaimed (retained, recycled or deleted). Details of the storage itself are described in the PersistentVolume object.

  • Platform Developer

    A person who customizes the Kubernetes platform to fit the needs of their project.

    [+]

    A platform developer may, for example, use Custom Resources or Extend the Kubernetes API with the aggregation layer to add functionality to their instance of Kubernetes, specifically for their application. Some Platform Developers are also contributors and develop extensions which are contributed to the Kubernetes community. Others develop closed-source commercial or site-specific extensions.

  • Pod

    Das kleinste und einfachste Kubernetesobjekt. Ein Pod stellt ein Satz laufender Container in Ihrem Cluster dar.

    [+]

    Ein Pod wird typischerweise verwendet, um einen einzelnen primären Container laufen zu lassen. Es kann optional auch "sidecar" Container laufen lassen, die zusätzliche Features, wie logging, hinzufügen. Pods werden normalerweise durch ein Deployment verwaltet.

  • Pod Disruption

    Pod disruption is the process by which Pods on Nodes are terminated either voluntarily or involuntarily.

    [+]

    Voluntary disruptions are started intentionally by application owners or cluster administrators. Involuntary disruptions are unintentional and can be triggered by unavoidable issues like Nodes running out of resources, or by accidental deletions.

  • Pod Disruption Budget
    Auch bekannt als: PDB

    A Pod Disruption Budget allows an application owner to create an object for a replicated application, that ensures a certain number or percentage of Pods with an assigned label will not be voluntarily evicted at any point in time.

    [+]

    Involuntary disruptions cannot be prevented by PDBs; however they do count against the budget.

  • Pod Lifecycle

    The sequence of states through which a Pod passes during its lifetime.

    [+]

    The Pod Lifecycle is defined by the states or phases of a Pod. There are five possible Pod phases: Pending, Running, Succeeded, Failed, and Unknown. A high-level description of the Pod state is summarized in the PodStatus phase field.

  • Pod Priority

    Pod Priority indicates the importance of a Pod relative to other Pods.

    [+]

    Pod Priority gives the ability to set scheduling priority of a Pod to be higher and lower than other Pods — an important feature for production clusters workload.

  • Pod Security Policy

    Enables fine-grained authorization of Pod creation and updates.

    [+]

    A cluster-level resource that controls security sensitive aspects of the Pod specification. The PodSecurityPolicy objects define a set of conditions that a Pod must run with in order to be accepted into the system, as well as defaults for the related fields. Pod Security Policy control is implemented as an optional admission controller.

    PodSecurityPolicy was deprecated as of Kubernetes v1.21, and removed in v1.25. As an alternative, use Pod Security Admission or a 3rd party admission plugin.

  • Preemption

    Preemption logic in Kubernetes helps a pending Pod to find a suitable Node by evicting low priority Pods existing on that Node.

    [+]

    If a Pod cannot be scheduled, the scheduler tries to preempt lower priority Pods to make scheduling of the pending Pod possible.

  • PriorityClass

    A PriorityClass is a named class for the scheduling priority that should be assigned to a Pod in that class.

    [+]

    A PriorityClass is a non-namespaced object mapping a name to an integer priority, used for a Pod. The name is specified in the metadata.name field, and the priority value in the value field. Priorities range from -2147483648 to 1000000000 inclusive. Higher values indicate higher priority.

  • Probe

    A check that the kubelet periodically performs against a container that is running in a pod, that will define container's state and health and informing container's lifecycle.

    [+]

    To learn more, read container probes.

  • Proxy

    In computing, a proxy is a server that acts as an intermediary for a remote service.

    [+]

    A client interacts with the proxy; the proxy copies the client's data to the actual server; the actual server replies to the proxy; the proxy sends the actual server's reply to the client.

    kube-proxy is a network proxy that runs on each node in your cluster, implementing part of the Kubernetes Service concept.

    You can run kube-proxy as a plain userland proxy service. If your operating system supports it, you can instead run kube-proxy in a hybrid mode that achieves the same overall effect using less system resources.

  • QoS Class

    QoS Class (Quality of Service Class) provides a way for Kubernetes to classify Pods within the cluster into several classes and make decisions about scheduling and eviction.

    [+]

    QoS Class of a Pod is set at creation time based on its compute resources requests and limits settings. QoS classes are used to make decisions about Pods scheduling and eviction. Kubernetes can assign one of the following QoS classes to a Pod: Guaranteed, Burstable or BestEffort.

  • Quantity

    A whole-number representation of small or large numbers using SI suffixes.

    [+]

    Quantities are representations of small or large numbers using a compact, whole-number notation with SI suffixes. Fractional numbers are represented using milli units, while large numbers can be represented using kilo, mega, or giga units.

    For instance, the number 1.5 is represented as 1500m, while the number 1000 can be represented as 1k, and 1000000 as 1M. You can also specify binary-notation suffixes; the number 2048 can be written as 2Ki.

    The accepted decimal (power-of-10) units are m (milli), k (kilo, intentionally lowercase), M (mega), G (giga), T (tera), P (peta), E (exa).

    The accepted binary (power-of-2) units are Ki (kibi), Mi (mebi), Gi (gibi), Ti (tebi), Pi (pebi), Ei (exbi).

  • RBAC (Role-Based Access Control)

    Manages authorization decisions, allowing admins to dynamically configure access policies through the Kubernetes API.

    [+]

    RBAC utilizes roles, which contain permission rules, and role bindings, which grant the permissions defined in a role to a set of users.

  • Replica

    A copy or duplicate of a Pod or a set of pods. Replicas ensure high availability, scalability, and fault tolerance by maintaining multiple identical instances of a pod.

    [+]

    Replicas are commonly used in Kubernetes to achieve the desired application state and reliability. They enable workload scaling and distribution across multiple nodes in a cluster.

    By defining the number of replicas in a Deployment or ReplicaSet, Kubernetes ensures that the specified number of instances are running, automatically adjusting the count as needed.

    Replica management allows for efficient load balancing, rolling updates, and self-healing capabilities in a Kubernetes cluster.

  • ReplicaSet

    A ReplicaSet (aims to) maintain a set of replica Pods running at any given time.

    [+]

    Workload objects such as Deployment make use of ReplicaSets to ensure that the configured number of Pods are running in your cluster, based on the spec of that ReplicaSet.

  • ReplicationController

    A workload resource that manages a replicated application, ensuring that a specific number of instances of a Pod are running.

    [+]

    The control plane ensures that the defined number of Pods are running, even if some Pods fail, if you delete Pods manually, or if too many are started by mistake.

  • Resource Quotas

    Provides constraints that limit aggregate resource consumption per Namespace.

    [+]

    Limits the quantity of objects that can be created in a namespace by type, as well as the total amount of compute resources that may be consumed by resources in that project.

  • Reviewer

    A person who reviews code for quality and correctness on some part of the project.

    [+]

    Reviewers are knowledgeable about both the codebase and software engineering principles. Reviewer status is scoped to a part of the codebase.

  • Secret

    Stores sensitive information, such as passwords, OAuth tokens, and SSH keys.

    [+]

    Secrets give you more control over how sensitive information is used and reduces the risk of accidental exposure. Secret values are encoded as base64 strings and are stored unencrypted by default, but can be configured to be encrypted at rest.

    A Pod can reference the Secret in a variety of ways, such as in a volume mount or as an environment variable. Secrets are designed for confidential data and ConfigMaps are designed for non-confidential data.

  • Security Context

    The securityContext field defines privilege and access control settings for a Pod or container.

    [+]

    In a securityContext, you can define: the user that processes run as, the group that processes run as, and privilege settings. You can also configure security policies (for example: SELinux, AppArmor or seccomp).

    The PodSpec.securityContext setting applies to all containers in a Pod.

  • Selector

    Erlaubt Benutzer das Filtern einer Liste Ressourcen basierend auf Label.

    [+]

    Selektoren werden verwendet beim Abfragen einer Liste Ressourcen, um Sie nach Label zu filtern.

  • Service

    Eine Methode um Netwzwerkanwendungen freizugeben, die als einen oder mehrere Pods in Ihrem Cluster laufen.

    [+]

    Der Satz Pods, der von einem Servie anvisiert ist, wird durch einen Selector bestimmt. Wenn mehrere Pods hinzugefügt oder entfernt werden, ändert sich der Satz Pods die zum Selector passen. Der Service versichert, dass Netzwerkverkehr an den aktuellen Satz Pods für die Arbeitslast gelenkt werden kann.

    Kubernetes Services verwenden entweder IP Netzwerke (IPv4, IPv6, oder beide), oder referenzieren einen externen Namen im Domain Name System (DNS).

    Die Service Abstraktion ermöglicht andere Mechanismen, wie Ingress und Gateway.

  • Service Catalog

    A former extension API that enabled applications running in Kubernetes clusters to easily use external managed software offerings, such as a datastore service offered by a cloud provider.

    [+]

    It provided a way to list, provision, and bind with external Managed Services without needing detailed knowledge about how those services would be created or managed.

  • ServiceAccount

    Provides an identity for processes that run in a Pod.

    [+]

    When processes inside Pods access the cluster, they are authenticated by the API server as a particular service account, for example, default. When you create a Pod, if you do not specify a service account, it is automatically assigned the default service account in the same Namespace.

  • Shuffle-sharding

    A technique for assigning requests to queues that provides better isolation than hashing modulo the number of queues.

    [+]

    We are often concerned with insulating different flows of requests from each other, so that a high-intensity flow does not crowd out low-intensity flows. A simple way to put requests into queues is to hash some characteristics of the request, modulo the number of queues, to get the index of the queue to use. The hash function uses as input characteristics of the request that align with flows. For example, in the Internet this is often the 5-tuple of source and destination address, protocol, and source and destination port.

    That simple hash-based scheme has the property that any high-intensity flow will crowd out all the low-intensity flows that hash to the same queue. Providing good insulation for a large number of flows requires a large number of queues, which is problematic. Shuffle-sharding is a more nimble technique that can do a better job of insulating the low-intensity flows from the high-intensity flows. The terminology of shuffle-sharding uses the metaphor of dealing a hand from a deck of cards; each queue is a metaphorical card. The shuffle-sharding technique starts with hashing the flow-identifying characteristics of the request, to produce a hash value with dozens or more of bits. Then the hash value is used as a source of entropy to shuffle the deck and deal a hand of cards (queues). All the dealt queues are examined, and the request is put into one of the examined queues with the shortest length. With a modest hand size, it does not cost much to examine all the dealt cards and a given low-intensity flow has a good chance to dodge the effects of a given high-intensity flow. With a large hand size it is expensive to examine the dealt queues and more difficult for the low-intensity flows to dodge the collective effects of a set of high-intensity flows. Thus, the hand size should be chosen judiciously.

  • Sidecar Container

    One or more containers that are typically started before any app containers run.

    [+]

    Sidecar containers are like regular app containers, but with a different purpose: the sidecar provides a Pod-local service to the main app container. Unlike init containers, sidecar containers continue running after Pod startup.

    Read Sidecar containers for more information.

  • SIG (special interest group)

    Community members who collectively manage an ongoing piece or aspect of the larger Kubernetes open source project.

    [+]

    Members within a SIG have a shared interest in advancing a specific area, such as architecture, API machinery, or documentation. SIGs must follow the SIG governance guidelines, but can have their own contribution policy and channels of communication.

    For more information, see the kubernetes/community repo and the current list of SIGs and Working Groups.

  • Spec

    Defines how each object, like Pods or Services, should be configured and its desired state.

    [+]

    Almost every Kubernetes object includes two nested object fields that govern the object's configuration: the object spec and the object status. For objects that have a spec, you have to set this when you create the object, providing a description of the characteristics you want the resource to have: its desired state.

    It varies for different objects like Pods, StatefulSets, and Services, detailing settings such as containers, volumes, replicas, ports,
    and other specifications unique to each object type. This field encapsulates what state Kubernetes should maintain for the defined
    object.

  • StatefulSet

    Verwaltet die Bereitstellung und Skalierung eines Satzes Pods, und stellt Garantieen zur Reihenfolge und Einzigartigkeit bereit für diese Pods.

    [+]

    Wie ein Deployment, verwaltet ein StatefulSet Pods basierend auf eine identische Container Spezifikation. Anders als ein Deployment, verwaltet ein StatefulSet eine persistente Identität für jeden seiner Pods. Diese Pods werden anhand der gleichen Spezifikation erstellt, sind aber nicht austauschbar: Jeder hat eine persistente Identifizierung, die über jede Verschiebung erhalten bleibt.

    Wenn Sie Speichervolumen verwenden wollen, um Persistenz der Arbeitslast zu ermöglichen, können Sie einen StatefulSet as Teil der Lösung verwenden. Obwohl einzelne Pods in einem StatefulSet anfälling für Fehler sind, machen die persistente Podidentifizierungen es einfacher, existierende Volumen mit neuen Pods, die die fehlerhaften ersetzen, zu verbinden.

  • Static Pod

    A pod managed directly by the kubelet daemon on a specific node,

    [+]

    without the API server observing it.

    Static Pods do not support ephemeral containers.

  • Storage Class

    A StorageClass provides a way for administrators to describe different available storage types.

    [+]

    StorageClasses can map to quality-of-service levels, backup policies, or to arbitrary policies determined by cluster administrators. Each StorageClass contains the fields provisioner, parameters, and reclaimPolicy, which are used when a Persistent Volume belonging to the class needs to be dynamically provisioned. Users can request a particular class using the name of a StorageClass object.

  • sysctl

    sysctl is a semi-standardized interface for reading or changing the attributes of the running Unix kernel.

    [+]

    On Unix-like systems, sysctl is both the name of the tool that administrators use to view and modify these settings, and also the system call that the tool uses.

    Container runtimes and network plugins may rely on sysctl values being set a certain way.

  • Taint

    A core object consisting of three required properties: key, value, and effect. Taints prevent the scheduling of Pods on nodes or node groups.

    [+]

    Taints and tolerations work together to ensure that pods are not scheduled onto inappropriate nodes. One or more taints are applied to a node. A node should only schedule a Pod with the matching tolerations for the configured taints.

  • Toleration

    A core object consisting of three required properties: key, value, and effect. Tolerations enable the scheduling of pods on nodes or node groups that have matching taints.

    [+]

    Tolerations and taints work together to ensure that pods are not scheduled onto inappropriate nodes. One or more tolerations are applied to a pod. A toleration indicates that the pod is allowed (but not required) to be scheduled on nodes or node groups with matching taints.

  • UID

    A Kubernetes systems-generated string to uniquely identify objects.

    [+]

    Every object created over the whole lifetime of a Kubernetes cluster has a distinct UID. It is intended to distinguish between historical occurrences of similar entities.

  • Upstream (disambiguation)

    May refer to: core Kubernetes or the source repo from which a repo was forked.

    [+]
    • In the Kubernetes Community: Conversations often use upstream to mean the core Kubernetes codebase, which the general ecosystem, other code, or third-party tools rely upon. For example, community members may suggest that a feature is moved upstream so that it is in the core codebase instead of in a plugin or third-party tool.
    • In GitHub or git: The convention is to refer to a source repo as upstream, whereas the forked repo is considered downstream.
  • user namespace

    A kernel feature to emulate root. Used for "rootless containers".

    [+]

    User namespaces are a Linux kernel feature that allows a non-root user to emulate superuser ("root") privileges, for example in order to run containers without being a superuser outside the container.

    User namespace is effective for mitigating damage of potential container break-out attacks.

    In the context of user namespaces, the namespace is a Linux kernel feature, and not a namespace in the Kubernetes sense of the term.

  • Volume

    A directory containing data, accessible to the containers in a Pod.

    [+]

    A Kubernetes volume lives as long as the Pod that encloses it. Consequently, a volume outlives any containers that run within the Pod, and data in the volume is preserved across container restarts.

    See storage for more information.

  • Volume Plugin

    A Volume Plugin enables integration of storage within a Pod.

    [+]

    A Volume Plugin lets you attach and mount storage volumes for use by a Pod. Volume plugins can be in tree or out of tree. In tree plugins are part of the Kubernetes code repository and follow its release cycle. Out of tree plugins are developed independently.

  • WG (working group)

    Facilitates the discussion and/or implementation of a short-lived, narrow, or decoupled project for a committee, SIG, or cross-SIG effort.

    [+]

    Working groups are a way of organizing people to accomplish a discrete task.

    For more information, see the kubernetes/community repo and the current list of SIGs and working groups.

  • Workload

    A workload is an application running on Kubernetes.

    [+]

    Various core objects that represent different types or parts of a workload include the DaemonSet, Deployment, Job, ReplicaSet, and StatefulSet objects.

    For example, a workload that has a web server and a database might run the database in one StatefulSet and the web server in a Deployment.

  • Zertifikat

    Eine kryptographisch sichere Datei, die verwendet wird um den Zugriff auf das Kubernetes Cluster zu bestätigen.

    [+]

    Zertfikate ermöglichen es Anwendungen in einem Kubernetes Cluster sicher auf die Kubernetes API zuzugreifen. Zertfikate bestätigen, dass Clients die Erlaubnis haben auf die API zuzugreifen.

  • Zugangscontroller

    Ein Teil Code, das Anfragen an den Kubernetes API Server abfängt, vor der Persistenz eines Objekts.

    [+]

    Zugangscontroller für den Kubernetes API Server sind konfigurierbar, und können "validierend", "verändernd", oder beides sein. Jeder Zugangscontroller kann die Anfrage ablehnen. Verändernde Controller können die Objekte ändern, die sie zulassen; validierende Controller dürfen das nicht.
