Basic Working Style on Kubernetes

• Create manifests (Specifications) with minimal information which will be desired state.
• This manifest will be written in YAML.

Kubernetes Architecture (First View)

• User connects with Kubernetes Master and Master gets the work done (desired state == actual state) on nodes (minions).
• Kubernetes has two popular ways of communication to master from user
  • Command line:
    • kubectl is the command line tool
    • kubectl works in declarative and imperative way
      • for declarative way we use YAML
  • Rest API
    • JSON based Rest API is exposed
