Summary

This was quite a big chapter, but at least you now have a list of all the Kubernetes components. Everything we will do later will be related to these components: they are the core of Kubernetes. This chapter was full of technical details too, but it was still relatively theoretical. Don’t worry if things are still not very clear to you. You will gain a better understanding through practice.

The good news is that you are now completely ready to install your first Kubernetes cluster locally, and things are going to be a lot more practical from now on. That is the next step, and that’s what we will do in the next chapter. After the next chapter, you’ll have a Kubernetes cluster running locally on your workstation, and you will be ready to run your first pods using Kubernetes!
