Cloud Controller Manager cloud-controller-manager 2018-04-12 /docs/concepts/architecture/cloud-controller/ Control plane component that integrates Kubernetes with third-party cloud providers.

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 only 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.
