💚 Objectives

1. Learn what a Kubernetes cluster is.

2. Learn what Minikube is.

3. Start a Kubernetes cluster on our computer.

💚 Control Plane

• Each cluster has its control plane.

• Control Planes manage the cluster and the nodes that are used to host the running applications.

💚 Kubelet

• Each node has a kubelet

  • A node is a VM or a physical computer

• Kubelet** manages the node and communicate with the kubernetes**

💛 Node-level Component

• Kubelet is Node-level Component

• It communicates with the control plane using the Kubernetes API

  • A control plane exposes Kubernetes API

  • And each kubelet uses these APIs to communicate its with control plane

  • We can interact with other clusters by Kubernetes API, through control plane
