Kubernetes Pod in simple terms

In the world of computers and software, a Kubernetes pod is like a small, self-contained unit that holds one or more containers. Containers are like packages that include everything your software needs to run, such as the code, libraries, and settings.

Imagine a lunchbox with compartments. Each compartment can hold a different type of food – a sandwich, a fruit, and a snack. In this analogy:

• The lunchbox is the Kubernetes pod.

• The compartments inside the lunchbox are the containers

So, a Kubernetes pod helps keep your software organized and makes sure the different parts of your application can work together effectively, just like the lunchbox keeps your meal items together for a tasty lunch!

Now, Its time to write.

you can see it's pretty simple to write pod configuration.

Finally, we will deploy to the cluster

$ kubectl get all ### returns a list of pods, services, daemon sets, deployments, replica sets, jobs, cronjobs, and stateful sets ###

$ kubectl apply -f pod.yaml ### Pod is created ###
