Kubernetes Architecture Explained in Brief
Kubernetes has become the most sought after orchestration platform because of its overwhelming features, including scaling, auto-deployment, and resource management across multiple clusters of hosts. The enterprises are adopting Microservice-architecture for their application development, hence modern applications are increasingly built using containers.
Containerization packages the application with all the necessary dependencies such as libraries, configurations etc., together into a container that can easy to deploy and managed.
When a containerized application is deployed, there is always a need for the application to scale and manage and communicate to the other applications across multiple containers. This is where Kubernetes comes into play.
Kubernetes has all the required capabilities to manage the communication between the containers, along with scaling, scheduling and rollback capabilities. Due to these factors, Kubernetes have become one of the most important platforms for developers around the world.
The Architecture and Components
A Kubernetes cluster consists of a set of worker machines, called nodes, that run containerized applications. Every cluster has at least one worker node.
