This is the functionality that is usually enabled by default in the managed Kubernetes services on each public cloud – but they can be integrated with any cluster running on that specific cloud platform, managed or not.

In this section, we will review a few of the more common cloud extensions to Kubernetes, both in cloud-controller-manager (CCM) and functionality that requires...
