Kubernetes offers two distinct ways for clients that run within your cluster, or that otherwise have a relationship to your cluster's control plane to authenticate to the API server. A service account provides an identity for processes that run in a Pod, and maps to a ServiceAccount object. When you authenticate to the API server, you identify yourself as a particular user. Kubernetes recognises the concept of a user, however, Kubernetes itself does not have a User API.| Kubernetes
Kubernetes volumes provide a way for containers in a pod to access and share data via the filesystem. There are different kinds of volume that you can use for different purposes, such as: populating a configuration file based on a ConfigMap or a Secret providing some temporary scratch space for a pod sharing a filesystem between two different containers in the same pod sharing a filesystem between two different pods (even if those Pods run on different nodes) durably storing data so that it s...| Kubernetes
Pod is a collection of containers that can run on a host.| Kubernetes
Kubernetes runs your workload by placing containers into Pods to run on Nodes. A node may be a virtual or physical machine, depending on the cluster. Each node is managed by the control plane and contains the services necessary to run Pods. Typically you have several nodes in a cluster; in a learning or resource-limited environment, you might have only one node. The components on a node include the kubelet, a container runtime, and the kube-proxy.| Kubernetes
Kubernetes nodes can be scheduled to Capacity. Pods can consume all the available capacity on a node by default. This is an issue because nodes typically run quite a few system daemons that power the OS and Kubernetes itself. Unless resources are set aside for these system daemons, pods and system daemons compete for resources and lead to resource starvation issues on the node. The kubelet exposes a feature named 'Node Allocatable' that helps to reserve compute resources for system daemons.| Kubernetes
When you specify a Pod, you can optionally specify how much of each resource a container needs. The most common resources to specify are CPU and memory (RAM); there are others. When you specify the resource request for containers in a Pod, the kube-scheduler uses this information to decide which node to place the Pod on. When you specify a resource limit for a container, the kubelet enforces those limits so that the running container is not allowed to use more of that resource than the limit ...| Kubernetes
