1. Download the Vagrant [File](Vagrantfile).
1. Download Virtual box and install from [here](https://www.virtualbox.org/).
1. Download and install [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads).
1. In the terminal, run the two command to get the VM up and running, with out any configuration :smile:
```bash
# In the same directory where you have downloaded Vagrantfile, run
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
```
This will download the Ubuntu box image and do the entire setup for you with the help of virtual box. It just need virtual box installed.
1. The Vagrantfile comes preconfigured with **kubeadm**, **kubelet**, **kubectl**
1. Check if kubernetes cluster is perfectly installed.
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant# kubectl version -o json
{
"clientVersion": {
"major": "1",
"minor": "19",
"gitVersion": "v1.19.2",
"gitCommit": "f5743093fd1c663cb0cbc89748f730662345d44d",
"gitTreeState": "clean",
"buildDate": "2020-09-16T13:41:02Z",
"goVersion": "go1.15",
"compiler": "gc",
"platform": "linux/amd64"
},
"serverVersion": {
"major": "1",
"minor": "19",
"gitVersion": "v1.19.2",
"gitCommit": "f5743093fd1c663cb0cbc89748f730662345d44d",
"gitTreeState": "clean",
"buildDate": "2020-09-16T13:32:58Z",
"goVersion": "go1.15",
"compiler": "gc",
"platform": "linux/amd64"
}
}
```
1. Start the Kubernetes cluster master node.
```bash
# This will spin up Kubernetes cluster with CIDR: 10.244.0.0/16
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant# kubeadm init --pod-network-cidr=10.244.0.0/16
kubeadm join 10.0.2.15:6443 --token 3m5dsc.toup1iv7670ya7wc --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:73f4983d43f9618522eaccf014205f969e3bacd76c98dd0croot@vagrant:/home/vagrant# mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant# sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant# sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config
```
1. Conenct other VM to this cluster: Not required in case of single VM cluster. For this run perfectly, make sure:
- VM to VM connectivity is there.
- All there kube-* are installed in VM.
```bash
kubeadm join 10.0.2.15:6443 --token 3m5dsc.toup1iv7670ya7wc --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:73f4983d43f9618522eaccf014205f969e3bacd76c98dd0c
```
1. At this point, Kubernetes is installed and cluster master is up, but still we need a agent to provision and manager network for new nodes for us, This is where [Flannel](https://github.com/coreos/flannel#flannel) comes to rescue. Install Flannel to manager docker network for pods.
```bash
kubectl apply -f \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coreos/flannel/master/Documentation/kube-flannel.yml
```
1. This step applies, if we wish to use, **our master node as worker as well**. Which is yes in our case:
```
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant# kubectl taint nodes $(hostname) node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule-# If everything goes well, you will see something like this.
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant# kubectl get node
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
vagrant Ready master 3m40s v1.19.2
```> Run all the commands from root shell.
### What are kube*
Kubernetes runs in client server model, similar to the way the docker runs. Kubernetes server exposes kubernetes-api, and each of kubeadm, kubelet and kubectl connect with this kubernetes server api to get the task done. In the master slave model, there are two entities:
- Control Plane
- Worker Nodes**Control Plane** : Connects with Worker nodes for resource allocation.
**Worker nodes** : Cluster entitiy that actually allocates tasks and run Pods.1. **kubeadm**:
- Sets-up the cluster
- Connect various worker nodes togather.
2. **kubectl**:
- It is a client cli.
- Connects with control plane kubernetes api server and send execution requests to control plane.
3. **kubelet**:
- Receives request from control planes.
- Runs in Worker nodes.
- Runs task over worker nodes.
- Maintain Pod lifecycle. Not just for pods, but all Kubernetes resources lifecycle.## Kubernetes pods
- Pods run multiple containers.
- Pods abstract out multilpe containers into single unit.
- If two service in pods are both exposing service on same port, the other one wont spin up and it will fail.
- The unit of Kubernetes work load is called Pod.### How to create a pod
You can create a simple nginx pod with following yaml spec. Save this in file name : [pod.yml](files/pod.yml)
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: nginx
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx
```
|Key name| Key Description|
|---|---|
|`apiVersion`|Kubernetes server API|
|`kind`|Kubernetes Resource type: `Pod`|
|`metadata.name`|Name of Kubernetes Pod|
|`spec.container.name`|Name of Container which will run in a Pod|
|`spec.container.name`|Name of docker image to run|Run this Pod spec with. `kubectl apply -f pod.yml`
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl apply -f pod.yaml
pod/nginx created# If everything goes OK, you will se something like this.
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx 1/1 Running 0 43s
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata#
```
Use : ` kubectl get pods` to get the list of all Pods.1. Running command into container, running inside Pod. `kubectl exec -it -c -- `
```
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl exec -it nginx -c nginx -- whoami
rootroot@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl exec -it nginx -c nginx -- /bin/sh
# cat /etc/*-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"
```
1. Running multiple container in one pod.
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: nginx
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx
- name: curl
image: appropriate/curl
stdin: true
tty: true
command: ["/bin/sh"]
```
Save this into [pod-with-two-containers.yml](files/pod-with-two-containers.yml).
Run this : `kubectl apply -f pod-with-two-containers.yml`
1. Delete a running pod. `kubectl delete -f pod-with-two-containers.yml`. This will remove the pod mentioned in spec file.
1. Container in a Pod can connect to another container in same pod with `spec.containers.name`.
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl exec -it nginx -c curl -- /bin/sh
# curl nginx

#
```## Kubernetes Resources
### Pods
- Fundamental unit of k8s cluster.
- Abstraction for container/multiple-containers, running under single name.
- Discussed in detail : [here](#how-to-create-a-pod)### Deployments
- A Deployment provides declarative updates for Pods.
- The configuration state in `yml` file, defines how the pods will run in cluster. They can specify:
- Replicas
- Resource allocation
- Connection with Volumes etc.
- We will see example once we see [replicasets](#replicasets)### Replicasets
1. Run deployments in replicas.
2. Create [file](files/deployment-replica.yml) with following specification.
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: nginxspec:
replicas: 3
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginx-app
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: nginx-app
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx
```Notice the difference.
```diff
-- kind: Pod
++ kind: Deployment++ spec:
++ replicas: 3
++ selector:
++ matchLabels:
++ app: nginx-app
```
3. Remove existing pods(if any) `kubectl delete pods --all`, and create deployment.
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl apply -f deployment-replica.yml
deployment.apps/nginx createdroot@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl get deployments
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
nginx 0/3 3 0 7sroot@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl get deployments -w
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
nginx 1/3 3 1 14s
nginx 2/3 3 2 20s
```
4. Get the list of all `deployments`: `kubectl get deployments` or `kubectl get deploy`
4. Get the list of all `replicaset` : `kubectl get replicaset` or ` kubectl get rs`
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx-d6ff45774-f84l8 1/1 Running 0 4m59s
nginx-d6ff45774-gzxfz 1/1 Running 0 4m59s
nginx-d6ff45774-t69mw 1/1 Running 0 4m59sroot@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl get deploy
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
nginx 3/3 3 3 162mroot@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl get replicaset
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
nginx-d6ff45774 3 3 3 162mroot@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata#
```
5. Print a detailed description of the selected resources, including related resources such as events or controllers: `kubectl describe `
6. Get deployment configuration in `JSON` format: `kubectl get deployment nginx -o yaml`.### Services
- Logical abstraction of Pods and policies to access them.
- They enable loose coupling between dependent Pods. e.g
- Open Ports.
- Security Policies between Pod interaction etc.
- Can be created independent of Pod declaration, but usually services linked to one Pod are present in same spec file.
- Lets create a simple service to expose nginx service port to host machine. [File](files/nginx-service.yml)
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: nginx
spec:
replicas: 3
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginx-app
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: nginx-app
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: nginx
spec:
selector:
app: nginx-app
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 80
```
- Service declaration starts by augmenting exiting deployment/pod spec with `---`.
- Service and Pod can share same names.
- Each different resource must have unique amongst themselves.
- The above service, exposes port 80 on host specified by `spec.ports.port` to port 80 of target pod specified by `spec.ports.taregtPort````bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl apply -f nginx-service.yml
deployment.apps/nginx unchanged
service/nginx createdroot@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata#
```
- Once the service is created:
- Run : `kubectl get services` to get the list of services.
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl get services
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
kubernetes ClusterIP 10.96.0.1 443/TCP 2d5h
nginx ClusterIP 10.104.178.240 80/TCP 49s
```
Cluster IP is the IP interface of Pod anstraction on host. `curl` cluster IP will connect us to the Pod.
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# curl 10.104.178.240
Welcome to nginx!
body {
width: 35em;
margin: 0 auto;
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
}

```
- Run : `kubectl get endpoints` or `kubectl get ep` to get list of exposed endpoints.
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl get ep
NAME ENDPOINTS AGE
kubernetes 10.0.2.15:6443 2d5h
nginx 10.244.0.10:80,10.244.0.8:80,10.244.0.9:80 2m
```
Since I am running 3 different replicas, we are seeing 3 different Pod IPs.#### Loadbalancer Service
- Notice External IP in:
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl get services
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
kubernetes ClusterIP 10.96.0.1 443/TCP 2d5h
nginx ClusterIP 10.104.178.240 80/TCP 49s
```
- Since we are running this in local setup, we dont have any **CCM**(Cloud Config manager), which can provision external IP for us to connect to the service running inside the Pod.
- In case of Azure or AWS Cloud providers, the CCM provisions and links external IPs for us.
- So lets do a **hack** here.
- Update nginx service to LoadBalancer. [File](files/nginx-service-lb.yml)
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: nginx
spec:
type: LoadBalancer
selector:
app: nginx-app
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 80
```
Notice:
```diff
spec:
++ type: LoadBalancer
```
- Apply the config: `kubectl apply -f nginx-service-lb.yml`
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl get svc
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
kubernetes ClusterIP 10.96.0.1 443/TCP 2d5h
nginx LoadBalancer 10.104.178.240 80:32643/TCP 17m
```
Now the state is pending :)
- Run `netstat -nltp`, and notice the `kube-proxy`
```diff
++ tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:32643 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 13095/kube-proxy
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10248 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7024/kubelet
++ tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10249 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 13095/kube-proxy
```
See the magic.
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# curl 0.0.0.0:32643
Welcome to nginx!
body {
width: 35em;
margin: 0 auto;
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
}

```
- The `LoadBalancer` exposed the service endpoints out of Kubernetes cluster IP interface and in our vagrant host we can access it now directly :)
- The next challenge to to expose this `kube-proxy` interface to host machine. And hack is done, then we can access the service running in Pod(replica set deployment) from our host interface directly.
- This is how the network now looks like. The port `32643` is not exposed through kube-proxy over host/control-plane node.
```bash

+---------------------------------------------+
```## Stateless workloads
- Deployments and Replicasets that we had deployed so far are stateless workloads.
- There is no state related information stored at Pods/Service, so request from kube-proxy via serivce resource can be routed to any of the Pod in the cluster.
- This constitutes stateless workload.
- Next section is to create a Stateful workload.## Stateful workloads
- Preserve the state of data present on Pods.
- Two situations can be possible:
- Multi pod stateful workload
- If multiple pods are connecting to stateful workload, there should be worker based synchronization
- Else, stateful data may go out of sync.
- Single pod stateful workload
- Create persitant volumes
- Create persitant volume claims to access persitant volumes in a synchronized way, just to prevent ensure data atomicity.### Persistent Volumes
- PV are like volumes in Docker, just that their lifecycle is independent of Pods.
- This is an API object. Captures details about storage implementation.
- Provised by Kubernetes administrator.
- Way to abstract storage resource.
- Create a persistent volume for MySQL server. [File](files/pv.yml)
```yaml
kind: PersistentVolume
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: pv
labels:
type: local
spec:
storageClassName: manual
capacity:
storage: 5Gi
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
hostPath:
path: "/data"
```
This spec specifies the volume is at `/data` on cluster's node.
Apply it : `kubectl apply -f pv.yml`
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl get pv
NAME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES RECLAIM POLICY STATUS CLAIM STORAGECLASS REASON AGE
pv 5Gi RWO Retain Available manual 62s
```### Persistent Volume Claims
- Storage requeest by a user.
- PVCs consume PV resources.
- Way to access abstract storage.
- PVC can request specific size and access mode: `ReadWriteOnce`, `ReadOnlyMany`, `ReadWriteMany`|Access Mode| Meaning|
|---|---|
|ReadWriteOnce | volume can be mounted as read-write by a single node|
|ReadOnlyMany | volume can be mounted read-only by many nodes|
|ReadWriteMany | volume can be mounted as read-write by many nodes|- Create a PVC spec. [File](files/pvc.yml)
```yaml
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: pv-claim
spec:
storageClassName: manual
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi
```
Apply it.
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl apply -f pv-claim.yml
persistentvolumeclaim/pv-claim createdroot@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl get pvc
NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE

root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata#
```
- Pods use PersistentVolumeClaims to request physical storage
- After creating the PersistentVolumeClaim, the Kubernetes control plane looks for a PersistentVolume that satisfies the claim's requirements. If the control plane finds a suitable PersistentVolume with the same StorageClass, it binds the claim to the volume.- Lets create a POD which will use PV as Volume using PVC. [File](files/nginx-pod-with-pv.yml)
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: nginx-pod-with-pvc
spec:
volumes:
- name: nginx-pv-storage
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: pv-claim
containers:
- name: nginx-with-pv
image: nginx
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: "/usr/share/nginx/html"
name: nginx-pv-storage
```
```bash

Hi PV```
- The file we just created in storage is made accessible to Nginx POD.### Summary

```
- PV to PVC bind is automatic, based on storage class.
- Pod/Deployment/K8s-Resource link to PVC has to has to be done manually in spec file.## Sample Application Example
1. This End to End setup will include:
1. MySQL setup through PV and PVC.
2. Building Custom Dockerfile for sprinboot application.
3. Creating Deployment for SpringBoot application.
1. Setup the environment for application to connect to DB.
2. Setting up PVC setup in deployment.
3. Creating Serivce for springboot application access outside pod.
1. Service setup through LBOnce we create spec.yml in bits, we will create a big spec to show our Infrastructure as a Code and deploy that :smile:.
### MySQL Resource
#### Step 1: Create PV for MYSQL DB
```yaml
kind: PersistentVolume
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: mysql-pv
labels:
type: local
spec:
storageClassName: manual
capacity:
storage: 5Gi
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
hostPath:
path: "/data/mysql"
```#### Step 2: Create PVC for PV
```yaml
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: mysql-pvc
spec:
storageClassName: manual
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi
```#### Step 3: Create MySQL deployment Spec
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: dbserver
labels:
app: dbserver
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: dbserver
template:

mountPath: /var/lib/mysql
volumes:
- name: mysql-persistent-storage
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: mysql-pvc
```
- Once the DB server is up, please go adhead and login to MySQL and create `peopledb` for sprinboot application to access.
- `mysql -- mysql -u root -pmysecretpassword` & `create database peopledb`#### Step 4: Expose MySQL server via Service
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: dbservice
spec:
selector:
app: dbserver
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 3306
targetPort: 3306
```
- This will expose this service over/inside cluster for other services to access.### Springboot Application
#### Step 1: Build and Deploy AppServer
- Build the Docker image with name `appserver` from this [File](files/Dockerfile).
```bash
docker build -t appserver .
```
- Create Deployment spec for appserver.
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: appserver
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: appserver
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: appserver
spec:
containers:
- name: appserver
image: appserver
imagePullPolicy: Never
env:
- name: DB_HOST
value: dbservice
```#### Step 2: Expose AppServer service via Service type LB to host.
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: contacts
spec:
type: LoadBalancer
selector:
app: appserver
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 8080
```### Infrastructure as a Code

Quickly apply it with `kubectl apply -f appserver-spec.yml`## Understanding Advance Kubernetes Resources
### Namespace
Namespace are software level cluster virtualization over same physical k8s cluster.
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant# kubectl get ns
NAME STATUS AGE
default Active 19d
kube-node-lease Active 19d
kube-public Active 19d
kube-system Active 19d
```Kubernetes starts with 4 namespaces:
1. **default**: The default namespace for objects with no other namespace.
2. **kube-system**: The namespace for objects created by the Kubernetes system.
3. **kube-public**: This namespace is created automatically and is readable by all users (including those not **authenticated**). This namespace is mostly reserved for cluster usage, in case that some resources should be visible and readable publicly throughout the whole cluster. The public aspect of this namespace is only a convention, not a requirement.
4. **kube-node-lease**: This namespace for the lease objects associated with each node which improves the performance of the node heartbeats as the cluster scales.Get Pods from specific namespace
``kubectl get pods --namespace=default`` OR `kubectl get pods -n default`
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant# kubectl get pods --namespace=kube-system
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
coredns-f9fd979d6-g9wxg 1/1 Running 5 19d
coredns-f9fd979d6-zrdvs 1/1 Running 5 19d
etcd-vagrant 1/1 Running 5 19d
kube-apiserver-vagrant 1/1 Running 5 19d
kube-controller-manager-vagrant 1/1 Running 7 19d
kube-flannel-ds-64l2p 1/1 Running 6 19d
kube-proxy-4j4kw 1/1 Running 5 19d
kube-scheduler-vagrant 1/1 Running 7 19d
```#### Creating Namespace & Adding resource
- Create namespace : `kubectl create namespace qa`
- Once the namespace is created, just add the metadata field : `namespace: qa`, [File](files/pod-qa.yml)
```diff
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: nginx
++ namespace: qa
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx
```
- Most Kubernetes resources (e.g. pods, services, replication controllers, and others) are in some namespaces. However namespace resources are not themselves in a namespace. And low-level resources, such as nodes and persistentVolumes, are not in any namespace.
- To see the list of resource not in namespace : `kubectl api-resources --namespaced=false`### Context
- Is a tuple of **cluster**, **user**, **namespace**. This is useful when you connect to multiple clusters from one control plane.
- Get the current context: `kubectl config get-contexts`
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl config get-contexts
CURRENT NAME CLUSTER AUTHINFO NAMESPACE
* kubernetes-admin@kubernetes kubernetes kubernetes-admin
```
- You can create kubernetes context using config file or using commands.
- Create a qa-config: `kubectl config set-context dev-env --cluster=kubernetes --user=new-admin --namespace=dev-env`
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl config set-context dev-env --cluster=kubernetes --user=new-admin --namespace=dev-env
Context "dev-env" created.
```
```bash
root@vagrant:/home/vagrant/kubedata# kubectl config get-contexts
CURRENT NAME CLUSTER AUTHINFO NAMESPACE
dev-env kubernetes new-admin dev-env
* kubernetes-admin@kubernetes kubernetes kubernetes-admin
```
- Now use the created context using : `kubectl config use-context dev-env`
- All your k8s resource will now be in DEV name space under kubernetes cluster :smile:
- But to create resource you will need user `new-admin` authentication. This is the user created during context creation.
- Create username & password for user `new-admin` to use the resource in context and create a role binding: **Run this before switching context**
`kubectl config set-credentials new-admin --username=adm --password=changeme`
```bash
cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
name: new-admin
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: ClusterRole
name: cluster-admin
subjects:
- apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: User
name: [email protected]EOF
