Kubernetes Architecture

Understand the main components of a Kubernetes cluster: master nodes, worker nodes, and their interactions.

Welcome to K8s Architecture

Welcome to Kubernetes! It's a powerful system for managing containerized applications across many machines.

Before we dive into running apps, it's essential to understand its core structure. Think of it as learning the parts of a car before driving it!

The Kubernetes Cluster

At its heart, Kubernetes operates as a cluster. A cluster is a group of machines, called nodes, that work together.

These nodes are divided into two main types:

  • Control Plane (Master Node): The brain of the cluster.
  • Worker Nodes: The workhorses that run your applications.
