In robotics and automation, a control loop is a non-terminating loop that regulates the state of a system. Here is one example of a control loop: a thermostat in a room. When you set the temperature, that's telling the thermostat about your desired state. The actual room temperature is the current state. The thermostat acts to bring the current state closer to the desired state, by turning equipment on or off.| Kubernetes
Kubernetes objects are persistent entities in the Kubernetes system. Kubernetes uses these entities to represent the state of your cluster. Learn about the Kubernetes object model and how to work with these objects.| Kubernetes
In Kubernetes, some objects are owners of other objects. For example, a ReplicaSet is the owner of a set of Pods. These owned objects are dependents of their owner. Ownership is different from the labels and selectors mechanism that some resources also use. For example, consider a Service that creates EndpointSlice objects. The Service uses labels to allow the control plane to determine which EndpointSlice objects are used for that Service.| Kubernetes
Garbage collection is a collective term for the various mechanisms Kubernetes uses to clean up cluster resources. This allows the clean up of resources like the following: Terminated pods Completed Jobs Objects without owner references Unused containers and container images Dynamically provisioned PersistentVolumes with a StorageClass reclaim policy of Delete Stale or expired CertificateSigningRequests (CSRs) Nodes deleted in the following scenarios: On a cloud when the cluster uses a cloud c...| Kubernetes
Jobs represent one-off tasks that run to completion and then stop.| Kubernetes
