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.
