K8s Intro

 Kubernetes (K8s) is a open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services, that facilitates both declarative configuration and automation. It has a large, rapidly growing ecosystem. Kubernetes services, support, and tools are widely available.

The name Kubernetes originates from Greek, meaning helmsman or pilot. K8s as an abbreviation results from counting the eight letters between the "K" and the "s". 

Google open-sourced the Kubernetes project in 2014.

K8s Architecture

Container runtime: Remember, Kubernetes is a container orchestration tool. Hence it requires some container runtime software for running the containers. Kubernetes supports several container runtimes: Docker, containerd, CRI-O, and any implementation of the Kubernetes CRI (Container Runtime Interface). Kubernetes Architecture vs Kubernetes Cluster: When you deploy Kubernetes, you get a cluster. Yes We can also say it as Kubernetes Architecture since it contains entire block of Kubernetes Architecture. A Kubernetes cluster consists of a set of worker machines, also called nodes, that run containerized applications. Every cluster has at least one worker node. The worker node(s) host the Pods that are the components of the application workload. The control plane manages the worker nodes and the Pods in the cluster.  In production environments, the control plane usually runs across multiple computers and a cluster usually runs multiple nodes, providing fault-tolerance and high availability
