====== Control Plane ======

The Control Plane is the **brain of Kubernetes**.

It manages the entire cluster.

---

===== What it does =====

  * Decides where pods run
  * Monitors cluster health
  * Ensures desired state is always maintained
  * Handles scaling and recovery

---

===== Example =====

You define:


Run 3 replicas of nginx


Control Plane:
  * Creates pods
  * Assigns them to nodes
  * Restarts them if they fail

---

===== Key idea =====

Control Plane does NOT run your apps.
It only manages them.
