Kubernetes resources are the various components that make up a Kubernetes cluster, such as Pods, Services, and Deployments. These resources are defined using declarative configuration files (e.g. .yaml objects) and are managed and coordinated by the Kubernetes control plane. A complete overview of Kubernetes resources can be found here.
Why are Kubernetes resources important?
Kubernetes resources are important because they form the building blocks for implementing and managing applications on a Kubernetes cluster. By defining the desired state of these resources in configuration files, you can easily deploy, scale, and manage applications on a Kubernetes cluster.
How are Kubernetes resources created and managed?
Kubernetes resources are created and managed using the Kubernetes API and the kubectl command line tool. Configuration files are used to define the desired state of the resources. An example of this is the use of Kubernetes objects. The Kubernetes control plane ensures that the actual state of the resources matches the desired state.
What are some common types of Kubernetes resources?
Some common types of Kubernetes resources include Pods, Services, Deployments, and PersistentVolumeClaims. Pods are the smallest deployable units in Kubernetes and contain one or more containers. Services are used to expose Pods to other parts of the cluster or to the outside world. Deployments are used to manage the deployment and scaling of Pods. PersistentVolumeClaims are used to request and manage storage resources for Pods.
