Kubernetes Objects by Patrik

Kubernetes Pods

  • The smallest unit that Kubernetes manages
  • A Pod is made up of one or more containers and information associated with those containers
  • Querying a pod returns a data structure that contains information about containers and it's metadata
  • Characteristics of a Pod
  • All the containers for a Pod will be run on the same node
  • Any container running within a Pod will share the Node's network with any other container in the same Pod
  • Containers within a Pod can share files through volumes, attached to the containers
  • A Pod has an explicit life cycle, and will always remain on the Node in which it was started
