Kubernetes Components

When you deploy Kubernetes, you get a cluster. The cluster is composed of many components. Here are brief details on some of them.

Kubernetes Components

Kubeadm

Kubeadm is a component of Kubernetes.

Kubeadm is a tool built to provide best-practice "fast paths" for creating Kubernetes clusters. It performs the actions necessary to get a minimum viable, secure cluster up and running in a user friendly way. Kubeadm's scope is limited to the local node filesystem and the Kubernetes API, and it is intended to be a composable building block of higher level tools.
