Explain the Kubernetes architecture.

Question

Accepted Answer

Kubernetes architecture is a container orchestration platform that manages containerized applications across a cluster of nodes.

Kubernetes follows a master-slave architecture with a master node and multiple worker nodes.
Master node components include API server, scheduler, controller manager, and etcd.
Worker node components include kubelet, kube-proxy, and container runtime (e.g. Docker).
Nodes communicate with each other using the Kubernetes API.
Kubernetes uses labels and selectors to group and manage resources.
Pods are the smallest deployable units in Kubernetes, consisting of one or more containers.
Services provide networking and load balancing for pods.
Kubernetes also supports features like deployments, stateful sets, and namespaces.
