What components are in the Kubernetes architecture?

The architecture of Kubernetes consists of several key components:

• Master Node:

  • API Server: Provides the interface for interacting with the cluster.
  • Scheduler: Distributes tasks (Pods) across worker nodes.
  • Controller Manager: Responsible for controlling the cluster's state.
  • etcd: A distributed configuration and state storage.

• Worker Nodes:

  • Kubelet: An agent that runs and manages containers.
  • Kube-proxy: Ensures network communication and load balancing.
  • Container Runtime: The environment for running containers (e.g., Docker, containerd).

These components together provide management, orchestration, and scaling of containerized applications.
