kubernetes running pods in serial

1
votes

In my kubernetes cluster I have several kind of pods. Some pods have to wait for other pods to start. To create a cluster I have to Run all the pods in a particular serial. This requires me to continuously check for states of previous pods. I want to reduce the time taken for creating cluster.

I want to explore 2 different solutions here:

  1. Is there a way I can add conditions like create pod 'a' if pod 'b' is in 'running' state?

  2. Is there a way I can pull all the images when creating pod and run them later in order. Since most of the time taken to create the pod is for pulling the image.

Kubernetes has introduced the concept of services , irrespective you are increasing your pod or defining new one , make service for that pod , and than do whatever you want to do with that pod. Services are three kinds : clusterIP , nodePort , LoadBalancer. - Aamir M Meman
