Kubernetes components

Kubernetes follows a client-server architecture. In Kubernetes, multiple master nodes control multiple worker nodes. Each master and worker has a set of components that are required for the cluster to work correctly. A master node generally has kube-apiserver, etcd storage, kube-controller-manager, cloud-controller-manager, and kube-scheduler. The worker nodes have kubelet, kube-proxy, a Container Runtime Interface (CRI) component, a Container Storage Interface (CRI) component, and so on. We will go through each of them in detail now:

• kube-apiserver: The Kubernetes API server (kube-apiserver) is a control-plane component that validates and configures data for objects such as pods, services, and controllers. It interacts with objects using REST requests.
• etcd: etcd is a high-availability key-value store used to store data such as configuration, state, and metadata. The watch functionality of etcd provides Kubernetes with the ability to listen for updates...
