In the Cluster, we have master and worker nodes.
Master node
- Kube API Server that is responsible for orchestrating all operations within the cluster.
- ETCD stores information about the cluster.
- Kube Scheduler that is responsible for scheduling applications or containers on Nodes.
- Kube Controller Manager that takes care of different functions like node controller, replication controller, etc.
Worker nodes
- Kubelet that listens for instructions from the Kube API Server and manages containers
- Kube-proxy is used to enable connectivity between pods and services across different nodes in the cluster.
- Container Runtime is the underlying software that is used to run containers in one of the examples is Docker. There are other options as well.
