1)What is kubernetes?

Kubernetes is a portable, extensible, 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.

Control Plane:

The control plane’s components make global decisions about the cluster (for example, scheduling), as well as detecting and responding to cluster events (for example, starting up a new pod when a deployment’s replicas field is unsatisfied).

• apiserver: As its name suggests the API server exposes the Kubernetes API, which is communications central. External communications via command line interface (CLI) or other user interface (UI) pass to the kube-apiserver, and all control plane to node communications also goes through the API server.
• etcd: The key value store where all data relating to the cluster is stored. etcd is highly available and consistent since all access to etcd is through the API server. Information in etcd is generally formatted in human-readable YAML (YAML Ain’t Markup Language).
• scheduler: When a new Pod is created, this component assigns it to a node for execution based on resource requirements, policies, and ‘affinity’ specifications regarding geolocation and interference with other workloads.
• controller-manager: Although a Kubernetes cluster has several controller functions, they are all compiled into a single binary.
