Unit of Software That Packages Up Code and All Its Dependencies

Container is a unit of software that packages code and dependencies into an isolated environment with its own processes and networking but shares the operating system kernel. Kubernetes is a tool for automatically deploying and managing containers at scale across a cluster of machines. It handles tasks like maintaining connections between containers, automatically scaling containers based on load, and restarting failed containers. Key components in Kubernetes include Pods which group containers, Nodes which are machines in the cluster, an API Server for communication, Etcd for storing cluster data, a Scheduler for assigning Pods to Nodes, and Controllers for monitoring and recovery.

Kubernetes 101:

Container: Unit of software that packages up code and all its dependencies
(Applications jar file, Lib, tools, etc.) into isolated environments (own processes or services,
their own networking interface) with access to an operating system kernel that it shares
with other containers and little or no access between them.

Kubernetes is a container orchestration tool.

Container orchestration:
The process of automatically deploying and managing containers is known as container
orchestration.
a) Managing means maintaining a connection between containers such as DB, messaging
services or any backend services.
b) Automatically scale up or down based on the load (number of users or any other
processes).
c) Restart failed containers and many more.

keywords in Kubernetes:

A Node is a machine in Kubernetes. It might be a laptop, for instance running on a cloud.


The collection of Nodes is nothing but a Cluster. Each cluster consists of at least one cluster
master node.

A Node can have multiple Pods(Pods are nothing but a set of containers)

Above image is Kubernetes cluster architecture.

Components of Kubernetes:-

1) API Server: Acts as a front end to the service. Users talk to the API server.
via CLI, UI.

2) Etcd: Key-value store to save all the data needed for managing clusters.

3) Scheduler: It is responsible for distributing work, such as it looks for newly


created containers and assign them to nodes.

4) Controller Manager: They are responsible for noticing and responding when a
node or container goes down. This controller makes decisions on whether to
bring up a node back again or not.

5) Container runtime: Underlying software that runs container software (Docker,


rkt).
6) kublet: It is the agent that runs in each node in the cluster. It is responsible for
making sure that the containers are running on the node as expected or not.
