Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. The main components include: Master Node Components:
API Server: Central management component that exposes the Kubernetes API
etcd: Distributed key-value store that stores cluster state and configuration
Controller Manager: Runs controllers that regulate cluster state
Scheduler: Assigns pods to nodes based on resource requirements Worker Node Components:
kubelet: Agent that communicates with the API server and manages pods
kube-proxy: Network proxy that maintains network rules
Container Runtime: Software that runs containers (Docker, containerd, CRI-O)
