Birds-eye view of Kubernetes objects

By df

 Kuberenetes has given a 'Software view' for the 'hardware' world. That too all resources consumed via modern definitions using json/yaml and via API. 

Kuberentes segments the compute resources into Worker nodes & Master Node(s) and contain persistent entities called 'Kubernetes Objects' including

  • Containerised applications
  • Cluster and Associated nodes
  • Resources to these nodes
  • The policies and tolerances on how the applications interact and behave

Below is a good diagram of the various components



Each component can be defined by software/code and scalable which makes kubernetes the de-facto building framework for modern micro-service applications. 

In most of the scenarios the components can be tiered into 

  • Host/Virtual machines
  • Kuberentes Platform
  • Containers
  • Microservices

It is hence very important to understand the difference between traditional 2 tier model and kuberentes 4 tier model for all your Operational, Security and Observability needs for a successful implementation.
