A Kubernetes {{< glossary_tooltip text="control plane" term_id="control-plane" >}} component
|
|
|
|
|
that embeds cloud-specific control logic. The cloud controller manager lets you link your
|
|
|
|
|
cluster into your cloud provider's API, and separates out the components that interact
|
|
|
|
|
with that cloud platform from components that just interact with your cluster.

|
|
By decoupling the interoperability logic between Kubernetes and the underlying cloud
|
|
|
|
|
infrastructure, the cloud-controller-manager component enables cloud providers to release
|
|
|
|
|
features at a different pace compared to the main Kubernetes project.
