Kubernetes Architecture
Like most distributed computing platforms, a Kubernetes cluster consists
of at least one master and multiple compute nodes. The master is
responsible for exposing the application program interface (API),
scheduling the deployments and managing the overall cluster.
Each node runs a container runtime, such as Docker or rkt, along with an
agent that communicates with the master. The node also runs additional
components for logging, monitoring, service discovery and optional
add-ons. Nodes are the workhorses of a Kubernetes cluster. They expose
