Understanding Kubernetes Architecture

Kubernetes is a powerful container orchestration system that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. To fully understand how Kubernetes operates, we must first explore its architecture and components.

High-Level Overview

A Kubernetes cluster consists of two main components:

• Control Plane (Master Node): Manages the cluster and ensures the desired state of applications.
• Worker Nodes: Execute containerized applications and respond to instructions from the control plane.
