Kubernetes basics

Control plane vs worker nodes

Control Plane:

  • The control plane is installed on your master node
  • Can be both a control plane node and a worker node
  • It houses the API server, scheduler, and controller manager settings

Worker Nodes:

  • This is where the kubelet and kube-proxy are installed
  • You can use the kubeadm join command to join workers to the master node to form the cluster
