Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Kubernetes Architecture

The video tutorial provides an overview of Kubernetes, focusing on its architecture and components. It explains the role of clusters, nodes, and containers, and details the control plane and worker nodes. The control plane includes components like etcd, API server, scheduler, and controller manager, while worker nodes run containerized applications using kubelet, container runtime, and network proxy. Kubernetes is designed to manage microservices at scale, ensuring the desired state of applications and resources.

What is the primary function of a Kubernetes cluster?

• To provide cloud storage

• To manage databases

• To secure network traffic

• To host and manage containers

Which component of the control plane is responsible for storing the cluster's configuration data?

• etcd

• API server

• Controller manager

• Scheduler

What role does the API server play in the Kubernetes control plane?

• It manages network traffic

• It schedules containers on nodes

• It stores configuration data

• It serves as the communication hub

Which component on the worker node is responsible for running containers?

• API server

• Scheduler

• Kubelet

• Controller manager

What is the function of kube-proxy on a worker node?

• To manage container images

• To route network traffic to containers

• To store configuration data

• To schedule containers
