Kubernetes Architecture

The document outlines the architecture of Kubernetes, detailing its high-level components, master components, and worker components. Key master components include the Kube-apiserver, etcd, Kube-controller-manager, and Kube-scheduler, while worker components consist of Kubelet, kube-proxy, and container runtime. Each component plays a crucial role in managing the cluster's state, workload distribution, and network rules.

High Level Components

3
Kubernetes Architecture

4
Master Components
• Kube-apiserver
• Etcd

• Kube-controller-manager

• Kube-scheduler

• Cloud-controller-manager

5
kube-apiserver
• Exposes REST interface into the
kubernetes control plane and Data
Store.
• All clients, including Nodes, Users
and other applications interact with
kubernetes strictly through the API
Server.
• Acting as the gatekeeper to the
cluster by handling:
• Authentication and Authorization
• Request validation
• Mutation and Admission control

6
etcd
• Etcd acts as the Cluster Data Store
• Provides a strong, consistent and
highly available key-value store
used for Persisting Cluster State.

7
kube-controller-manager
• Primary daemon that manages all
core component control loops
• Monitors the cluster state via the
apiserver and steers the cluster
towards the desired state

8
kube-scheduler
• Evaluates workload requirements
and attempts to find matching
resource.

• These requirements can include:


• Hardware requirements
• Affinity/Anti-affinity
• Any other custom resource
requirements.

9
cloud-controller-manager
• Provides cloud-provider specific
knowledge and integration
capability into the core control loop
of Kubernetes.

10
Node Components
• Kubelet

• Kube-proxy

• Container Runtime Interface

11
kubelet
• Acts as the node agent
responsible for managing pod
lifecycle on its host.
• Kubelet understands YAML/JSON
container manifests that it can
read from several sources:
• File path
• HTTP Endpoint
• Etcd watch acting on any changes

12
kube-proxy
• Manages the network rules on each
node and performs connection
forwarding or load balancing for
Kubernetes cluster services.

• Available proxy modes:


• Userspaces

• Iptables

• ipvs

13
Container Runtime
• With respect to Kubernetes, a
container runtime is a CRI
(Container Runtime Interface)
compatible application that
executes and manages containers.
• Containerd (Docker)

• Cri-o

• Rkt

14
