Understanding the Core Components of a Kubernetes Cluster

In this chapter, we will be going through a 10,000-foot view of the main Kubernetes components, from what each controller is composed of to how a container in a pod is deployed and scheduled across each of the workers. It is crucial to understand the ins and outs of the Kubernetes cluster in order to be able to deploy and design a solution based on Kubernetes as an orchestrator for your containerized applications:

Control plane components
The Kubernetes workers' components
Pods as basic building blocks
Kubernetes services, load balancers, and Ingress controllers
Kubernetes deployments and DaemonSets
Persistent storage in Kubernetes

Flores

Esteban Flores has been meddling with computers since he was 8 years old. His life as an IT expert began when he lost a lot of important data belonging to his family by saying he was "fixing the computer." He's worked for top-tier companies, including Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, VMware, Akamai, and Microsoft. With 10 years' experience, his passion for cutting-edge technology has driven him to work on different roles during his professional career. Storage technologies have always been his forte, focusing mostly on performance tuning and optimization. A photographer during his free time, he's been doing Linux-related things since his first job, finding amazement in its flexibility to run from a small laptop all the way up to the world's fastest supercomputers.
