Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “To check a list of available and installed add-ons, use the status command.”

A block of code is set as follows:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: metallb-load-balancer
spec:
  selector:
    app: whoami
  ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 80
      targetPort: 80
  type: LoadBalancer

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

kubectl apply -f loadbalancer.yaml

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Navigate to Monitoring under Namespaces on the Kubernetes dashboard, and then click Services.”
