fundamental

The container orchestration layer that exposes the API and interfaces to define, deploy, and manage the lifecycle of containers.

This layer is composed by many different components, such as (but not restricted to):

  • {{< glossary_tooltip text="etcd" term_id="etcd" >}}
  • {{< glossary_tooltip text="API Server" term_id="kube-apiserver" >}}
  • {{< glossary_tooltip text="Scheduler" term_id="kube-scheduler" >}}
  • {{< glossary_tooltip text="Controller Manager" term_id="kube-controller-manager" >}}
  • {{< glossary_tooltip text="Cloud Controller Manager" term_id="cloud-controller-manager" >}}

These components can be run as traditional operating system services (daemons) or as containers. The hosts running these components were historically called {{< glossary_tooltip text="masters" term_id="master" >}}.
