Now that you know what the control plane and containers are, you must be wondering where they run on a k8s cluster.
Your workload on K8s, runs on nodes. K8s places your containers into something called a pod and then that Pod runs on Nodes. Consider a node as a virtual or physical machine in your cluster, based on the type of cluster you manage.
In a cluster, you generally have multiple nodes and each node may have 1 or more pods running on them. This is entirely up to the configuration of the containers. There may be cases where it is best for a couple of containers to run on the same pod, whereas in other circumstance, there maybe pods that must never run on the same node. We’ll look at the terminology of the configuration behind that later.
