How kubernetes works?
Kubernetes clusters are comprised of one master node(control plane) and a number of worker nodes. These nodes can either be physical computers or virtual machines, depending on the cluster. The master node controls the state of the cluster; for example, which applications are running and their corresponding container images.
Components of Master Node:
API Server – front end of the kubernetes
Control store etcd – stores the cluster data
Controller manager – controls node, endpoint and pods
Controller scheduler – watches the pods and assigns to node
Components of Worker Node:
Kubelet – Instantiates POD.
Kube proxy -kube-proxy maintains network rules on nodes/ Iptables
Controller runtime /Docker engine – POD – container creation
Components of Workstation
Kubectl – CLI to interact with APIserver
