What is this?
Kubernetes schedules containers across nodes with control plane (API, scheduler, controllers) and kubelets.
Why should you care?
CloudVerse runs APIs on managed K8s so scheduling, healing, and rollout are declarative.
See it live — copy this example
Use AWS/Azure/GCP free tier or local Docker/Kind. Sketches and YAML are meant to be typed and adapted.
# control plane: apiserver etcd scheduler controller-manager
# worker: kubelet + runtime + kube-proxy
kubectl get nodes
kubectl cluster-infoWhat happened?
- You declare desired state; controllers reconcile.
- etcd holds cluster state — protect it (managed helps).
Practice next
- Draw control vs worker.
- kubectl get nodes.
- Explain reconcile loop.
- List pods -A.
- Note managed control plane benefits.
Remember
API desired state. Controllers reconcile. Protect etcd.
CloudVerse K8s map
Team learns control vs data plane.
Outcome: Debugging starts at kubectl, not SSH.
