Summary
In this chapter, we covered a lot of ground. You learned about the organization, design, and architecture of Kubernetes. Kubernetes is an orchestration platform for microservice-based applications running as containers. Kubernetes clusters have a control plane and worker nodes. Containers run within pods. Each pod runs on a single physical or virtual machine. Kubernetes directly supports many concepts, such as services, labels, and persistent storage. You can implement various distributed systems design patterns on Kubernetes. Container runtimes just need to implement the CRI. Docker, containerd, CRI-O, and more are supported.
In Chapter 2, Creating Kubernetes Clusters, we will explore the various ways to create Kubernetes clusters, discuss when to use different options, and build a local multi-node cluster.
