CloudFoundry命令行和Kubernetes命令行的Restful API消费方式

先说CloudFoundry的命令行工具CLI。我们在CloudFoundry环境下工作，第一个使用的命令就是cf login。

如果在环境变量里维护CF_TRACE的值为true：

则我们能发现，诸如cf login这种命令，实际上也是通过消费Restful API来完成的。

下图是cf login这个命令的api endpoint请求细节，供大家参考：

再看Kubernetes。我们用的很多的命令：

kubectl get pods，返回pods列表。

而用命令行

kubectl --v=8 get pods

则发现，get pods这个命令实际上也是发请求发往Kubernetes的API server：

https://:6443/api/v1/namespaces/default/pods?limit=500

API请求明细如下：

API server是Kubernetes最重要的核心组件之一：

1. 提供集群管理的REST API接口，包括认证授权、数据校验以及集群状态变更等

2. 提供其他模块之间的数据交互和通信的枢纽（其他模块通过API Server查询或修改

数据，只有API Server才直接操作etcd）

kube-apiserver支持同时提供https（默认监听在6443端口）和http API（默认监听在

127.0.0.1的8080端口），其中http API是非安全接口，不做任何认证授权机制，不建议

生产环境启用。两个接口提供的REST API格式相同，参考Kubernetes API Reference查

看所有API的调用格式。

在实际使用中，通常通过kubectl来访问apiserver，也可以通过Kubernetes各个语言的

client库来访问apiserver。

比如上面get pods命令对应的API的文档：
