What are Kubernetes Static Pods
Static pods in Kubernetes are like manually starting a program on your computer. You create a configuration file with details about the program you want to run and place it in a specific folder (usually /etc/kubernetes/manifests
), and then your computer automatically starts running it without needing any extra commands. Similarly, in Kubernetes, you create a configuration file for a pod, place it in a designated folder on a node, and Kubernetes automatically starts running that pod on that node without needing to go through the usual Kubernetes control mechanisms.
Kubernetes Pods: How to Create and Manage Them
Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration system mainly used for automated software deployment, management, and scaling. Kubernetes is also known as K8s. Kubernetes was originally developed by Google, but it is now being maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. It was originally designed to be interfaced with only the Docker runtime, but it now works with containers and CRI-O as well. The main purpose of Kubernetes is to automate the operational tasks of container management. It is included with built-in commands for the deployment of applications and rolling out the required changes in the application. It is currently being used by companies like Google, Spotify, and Capital One.
