time-printer

time-printer is a simple application that has two goals -

1. It shows a pod with more than one container in it
2. it illustrates how to use a shared volumes between containers

To run time-printer in our cluster -

$ kubectl create -f timeprinter.yaml

This loads te yaml manifest file to the APi server which validates it, stores it in etcd and starts the process of running the pod in the clsuter.

The get the state of the pod, we can again run

$ kubectl get pods

To see the logs of the pod, run

$ kubectl logs <pod-name> 

and use the -c flag to get the logs from a specific container in the pod
