Kubernetes Flow
Learn how Kubernetes orchestrates containers through its control plane, pods, services, and ingress in this beginner-friendly introduction.
Flow step-by-step
1. Kubernetes Architecture Overview
Shows the high-level structure with the control plane (API Server, Controller Manager, Scheduler, etcd) and how it connects to worker nodes containing pods.
2. Request Flow: User to Application
Illustrates the complete path an external HTTP request takes from a user through the Ingress controller, to a Service, which then load balances across multiple pods.
3. Pod Communication via Service
Demonstrates how application pods communicate with a database pod using a Service as a stable intermediary, which maintains the same IP even when pods are recreated.
