Applying Kubernetes resources to common application patterns
The Kubernetes container orchestrator is based on resources that are managed by different controllers. By default, our applications can use one of the following to run our processes as containers:
- Pods
- ReplicaSets

- StatefulSets
- DaemonSets
- Jobs
- CronJobs

Pods are the minimal unit for deploying workloads on a Kubernetes cluster. A Pod can contain multiple containers, and we have different mechanisms for doing this.
The following applies to all the containers running inside a Pod by default:
