This bundle contains a compact rephrased version of several Kubernetes documentation pages. It is static and does not query any live APIs.
What is Kubernetes?
Kubernetes is a platform for running containerized workloads across a cluster of machines. It provides an API where you describe desired state and controllers keep reality in sync with that description.
Key building blocks
- Control plane — API server, scheduler, controllers, and etcd.
- Nodes — worker machines that run your Pods.
- Pods — smallest deployable unit, usually one application container plus sidecars.
