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
