Points to remember

The following are some important points to remember:

• A node in a Kubernetes cluster is categorized as a master or worker node. The master node runs the control plane components.
• The key components of the Kubernetes control plane are kube-apiserver, etcd, kube-scheduler, kube-controller-manager, and cloud-controller-manager.
• It is recommended to run the control plane components on the same node and avoid any user-specific containers on that node.
• A highly available cluster can have multiple control planes.
• kube-apiserver handles any queries or changes to the cluster and can be horizontally scaled.
• etcd is a distributed key-value store used by Kubernetes to store cluster configuration data.
• kube-scheduler chooses a suitable node where an application can be deployed.
• kube-controller-manager runs several controller functions to ensure that the current state of the cluster matches the desired state.
• cloud-controller-manager includes...
