Kubernetes Key Concepts

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It features a master-worker architecture with key components like the API server, etcd, and kubelet, and supports essential concepts such as pods, services, and deployments. Kubernetes is widely used for microservices, CI/CD pipelines, and big data applications, offering benefits like scalability, high availability, and resource efficiency.

### Key Concepts of Kubernetes

#### 1. Architecture

Kubernetes follows a master-worker architecture, consisting of a control plane (master) and worker

- **Control Plane Components:**


- **API Server:** The API server is the central management point for the Kubernetes control plane
- **etcd:** etcd is a distributed key-value store that stores the cluster's configuration data and state
- **Controller Manager:** The controller manager is responsible for running various controllers tha
- **Scheduler:** The scheduler is responsible for assigning newly created pods to worker nodes ba

- **Worker Node Components:**


- **Kubelet:** The kubelet is an agent that runs on each worker node. It ensures that containers ar
- **Kube-proxy:** Kube-proxy is a network proxy that runs on each worker node. It manages netwo
- **Container Runtime:** The container runtime is responsible for running containers on the worke

#### 2. Pods

A pod is the smallest and simplest unit in the Kubernetes object model. It represents a single instan

#### 3. Services

Services in Kubernetes provide a stable endpoint for accessing a group of pods. They abstract the

#### 4. Deployments

Deployments are used to manage the lifecycle of applications. They define the desired state of an a

#### 5. ConfigMaps and Secrets

ConfigMaps and Secrets are used to manage configuration data and sensitive information, respecti

#### 6. Persistent Volumes and Persistent Volume Claims

Persistent Volumes (PVs) and Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) provide a way to manage storage

#### 7. Ingress

Ingress is an API object that manages external access to services within a cluster. It provides HTTP
