# Kubernetes Architecture
The architecture of Kubernetes consists of two major components:
1. **Master Node**: The master node also known as control plane manages all activities across all nodes like scheduling pods onto nodes.
2. **Worker Nodes**: The worker node also known as mininodes host pods which contains containers.
## Master Node Components
### API Server
The API server acts as frontend for Kubernetes control plane.
### ETCD
ETCD is used as backing store for all cluster data.
### Controller Manager
The controller manager watches changes made through API server and make changes accordingly.
### Scheduler
The scheduler watches newly created pods which don't have any node assigned yet.
## Worker Node Components
### Kubelet
The kubelet ensures that containers are running in pods.
### Kube Proxy
The kube proxy maintains network rules on nodes.
### Container Runtime
The container runtime is responsible for running containers.<|repo_name|>dharishkumar96/Learning-Kubernetes<|file_sep|>/kubectl-kommandos/README.md

## Resources Management
bash
# Create resource from manifest file
$ cat <# Creating K8S Cluster using Kubeadm
To create Kubernetes cluster using Kubeadm follow these steps:
## Pre-Requisites
Create two machines using any cloud provider such as AWS EC2 instances with following configurations:
**Master Node**
bash
Instance Type: t2.medium(4GB RAM)
OS Image : Ubuntu Server LTS(20.04) AMI (HVM), SSD Volume Type - ami-0b69ea66ff7391e80(ami id might change depending upon region)
Security Group : Allow SSH(22) , Allow TCP(6443) , Allow TCP(2379-2380) , Allow TCP(10250) , Allow TCP(10251) , Allow TCP(10252) , Allow TCP(30000-32767)
**Worker Node**
bash
Instance Type : t2.micro(1GB RAM)
OS Image : Ubuntu Server LTS(20.04) AMI (HVM), SSD Volume Type - ami-0b69ea66ff7391e80(ami id might change depending upon region)
Security Group : Allow SSH(22)
SSH into both master node & worker node using SSH client such as Putty & perform following steps:
## Step 1 Install Docker Engine on both Master Node & Worker Node
**Master Node**
bash
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install docker.io -y && sudo systemctl enable docker && sudo systemctl start docker && sudo usermod -aG docker ubuntu
**Worker Node**
bash
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install docker.io -y && sudo systemctl enable docker && sudo systemctl start docker && sudo usermod -aG docker ubuntu
## Step 2 Install Kubeadm,Kubelet & Kube-proxy on both Master Node & Worker Node
**Master Node**
bash
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https curl && curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add - && echo "deb https://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y kubelet=1.19.7~ce~ubuntu-xenial kubelet-tools=1.19.7~ce~ubuntu-xenial && sudo apt-mark hold kubelet kubelet-tools
**Worker Node**
bash
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https curl && curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add - && echo "deb https://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y kubelet=1.19.7~ce~ubuntu-xenial
