Specifying a Disruption Budget for your Application — Check the status of the PDB

Use kubectl to check that your PDB is created. Assuming you don't actually have pods matching app: zookeeper in your namespace, then you'll see something like this Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```shell kubectl get poddisruptionbudgets ``` Bounded code example (

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Use kubectl to check that your PDB is created. Assuming you don't actually have pods matching app: zookeeper in your namespace, then you'll see something like this Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```shell kubectl get poddisruptionbudgets ``` Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```text NAME MIN AVAILABLE MAX UNAVAILABLE ALLOWED DISRUPTIONS AGE zk-pdb 2 N/A 0 7s ``` If there are matching pods (say, 3), then you would see something like this Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```shell kubectl get poddisruptionbudgets ``` Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```text NAME MIN AVAILABLE MAX UNAVAILABLE ALLOWED DISRUPTIONS AGE zk-pdb 2 N/A 1 7s ``` The non-zero value for ALLOWED DISRUPTIONS means that the disruption controller has seen the pods, counted the matching pods, and updated the status of the PDB. You can get more information about the status of a PDB with this command Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```shell kubectl get poddisruptionbudgets zk-pdb -o yaml ``` Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```yaml apiVersion: policy/v1 kind: PodDisruptionBudget metadata: annotations: … creationTimestamp: "2020-03-04T04:22:56Z" generation: 1 name: zk-pdb … status: currentHealthy: 3 desiredHealthy: 2 disruptionsAllowed: 1 expectedPods: 3 observedGeneration: 1 ``` Attribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
