Kubernetes : Deploy Metrics Server2025/01/27

Deploy Metrics Server to monitor CPU and Memory resources in Kubernetes Cluster.

This example is based on the environment like follows.

+----------------------+   +----------------------+
|  [ ctrl.srv.world ]  |   |   [ dlp.srv.world ]  |
|     Manager Node     |   |     Control Plane    |

[1]	Deploy Metrics Server.

[centos@ctrl ~]$

git clone https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/metrics-server

[centos@ctrl ~]$

vi ./metrics-server/manifests/base/deployment.yaml

.....
.....
      containers:

[2]	To display CPU and Memory resources, run like follows.

[centos@ctrl ~]$

kubectl top node
