List the components of Kubernetes

The main components of Kubernetes are divided into two groups: control plane components and node components.

Control Plane Components:

• kube-apiserver — the API server that accepts and processes REST requests.
• etcd — a distributed data store for cluster configuration and state.
• kube-scheduler — responsible for scheduling pods onto nodes.
• kube-controller-manager — manages controllers that maintain the desired state of the cluster.

Node Components:

• kubelet — an agent that runs containers on the node and monitors their state.
• kube-proxy — handles network communication and load balancing.
• Container Runtime — the environment for running containers (e.g., Docker, containerd).

These components work together to operate and manage a Kubernetes cluster.
