Understanding 𝐊𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 (𝐊𝟖𝐬) 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞

I love reading blogs and documentation, so I wanted to share some knowledge I've gained. Today, I learned about 𝐊𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 (𝐊𝟖𝐬) 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞.
Kubernetes works like a team with a brain. The brain is called the 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞, and it manages a group of worker computers called 𝐍𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐬. Your applications run on these Nodes inside packages called 𝐏𝐨𝐝𝐬. The Control Plane watches everything. If an app in a Pod fails, the brain automatically tells a Node to restart it, which is called auto-healing. When your app gets a lot of users, the brain tells the Nodes to create more copies of it to handle the traffic, which is called auto-scaling. In short, Kubernetes uses its brain to manage the workers, making sure your apps are always healthy, running, and ready for any amount of traffic.
