In this Kubernetes Tutorial video, we dive deep into Kubernetes Architecture, breaking down its core components, control plane, and worker nodes to help you understand how Kubernetes manages containerized applications at scale.

We will be covering following topics in detail:
✅ Kubernetes Overview – What is Kubernetes, and why is it essential for modern application deployment?
✅ Control Plane Components:
* API Server (kube-apiserver) – The entry point for all Kubernetes commands and cluster management.
* etcd – The highly available key-value store that maintains the desired and actual state of the cluster.
* Scheduler (kube-scheduler) – Responsible for assigning pods to worker nodes based on resource availability.
* Controller Manager (kube-controller-manager) – Ensures the cluster state matches the desired configuration by managing controllers like ReplicaSet, Node, Endpoint controllers, and more.
✅ Worker Node Components:
* Kubelet – The node agent that communicates with the API Server and ensures pods are running.
* Container Runtime (Docker, containerd, CRI-O) – The software responsible for running containers inside pods.
* Kube Proxy – Handles networking, service discovery, and load balancing within Kubernetes.
✅ How These Components Work Together – Understanding the workflow of pod deployment, scheduling, scaling, and self-healing in Kubernetes.
