Pod

A Pod is the smallest unit in Kubernetes.

It represents one running instance of your application.

What a Pod contains

  • One or more containers
  • Shared network (same IP)
  • Shared storage (optional)

Example

A simple web app:

Pod:

nginx container

Real-world analogy

Pod = “one running app instance”

Like:

  • One Docker container running your service
  • But managed by Kubernetes

Key idea

Pods are temporary:

  • They can be created
  • They can be destroyed
  • They are NOT stable (IP changes)
