- Pods are the smallest deployable units of computing that you can create and manage in Kubernetes.
- A Pod (as in a pod of whales or pea pod) is a group of one or more containers.
- A pod with multiple container is not a good practice
- Pods can be created using yaml or json
- Pod has multiple states. Running, Pending and succeeded/failed
- Each pod connects to common pod network
- Each pod is an application
- Pods can only be instantiated not created
- Service serves as an internal load balancer for pod
- Each pod has an ip and port
- If more than one container are available in a pod. Each container will have a sperate port address
- Pod either runs or exits
