Learn KUBERNETES-YAML with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 27, 2025
Architecture
Control Plane - API Server, Scheduler, Controller Manager, etcd
Worker Nodes - kubelet, kube-proxy, container runtime
etcd - key-value store for cluster state
Services and Ingress - networking abstraction
Custom Resources and Operators - extend Kubernetes functionality
Rendering Model
YAML manifest -> kubectl/API -> Kubernetes API Server -> Scheduler -> kubelet -> Containers deployed and managed
Architectural Patterns
Control plane and worker node separation
Declarative resource management
Operator pattern for application-specific automation
Sidecar pattern for auxiliary containers
Namespace isolation for multi-tenancy
Real World Architectures
Microservices web application
CI/CD pipeline integration
Multi-cloud hybrid deployment
Edge computing cluster
Data processing pipeline with Kafka and Spark
Design Principles
Declarative configuration
