What is Kubernetes and How Does it Work?
Simple Cluster Component Architecture
Kubernetes (or k8s) is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. The main components of Kubernetes include:
➡️ Master Node. Controls the cluster and manages the system’s state.
➡️ Worker Nodes. Execute workloads provided by the master node.
➡️ ETCD. A distributed data store used to store all cluster data.
➡️ API Server. Interacts with system components and external clients.
➡️ Controllers. Manage the state of nodes and containers.
➡️ Scheduler. Distributes tasks among worker nodes.
Kubernetes Capabilities
Kubernetes offers numerous capabilities for managing containerized applications:
☑️ Automatic Scaling. Kubernetes can automatically adjust the number of running containers based on the load.
☑️ Self-Healing. If a container fails, the system will automatically restart it.
☑️ Load Balancing. Kubernetes distributes network traffic among containers to ensure an even load.
☑️ Rolling Updates. Application updates are performed gradually without interrupting operation.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Kubernetes
Advantages:
☑️ Scalability. Easily manages a large number of containers.
☑️ Reliability. High level of fault tolerance and self-healing.
☑️ Flexibility. Supports various types of containers and network plugins.
Disadvantages:
☑️ Complexity. Setting up Kubernetes requires significant knowledge and skills.
☑️ Resource Intensity. Requires considerable computational resources to operate.
Features of Setting Up and Installing Kubernetes
Step 1: Installing Kubernetes
To start the installation of Kubernetes and launch containers, the infrastructure, including servers and network configuration, must be prepared.
Step 2: Initializing the Cluster
Run the command to initialize the cluster on the master node. The command to connect worker nodes must be manually executed on each agent.
Step 3: Configuring the Network Plugin
Installing the network plugin is essential for ensuring communication between containers and nodes within the cluster.
Step 4: Configuring the Configuration File
Manual configuration is also necessary to work with the cluster as a regular user.
When Do You Need Professional Help?
Setting up Kubernetes can be a challenging task, especially for beginners. Professional help may be needed in the following cases:
☑️ Lack of Experience. If you have no experience with Kubernetes, setting up clusters can be challenging.
☑️ Complex Requirements. When there are complex configuration and scaling requirements, an experienced Kubernetes user is necessary.
☑️ Support and Maintenance. Continuous monitoring and updates are required to ensure the smooth operation of the system.
☑️ Quality Results. Kubernetes setup has several nuances that can cause difficulties even for users familiar with the platform. Professional support is always needed to ensure smooth operation.
