Table: Important terms
Term | Description |
|---|---|
Pod | A Pod is a group of one or more containers, with shared storage and network resources, and a specification for how to run the containers. For more information on Pods, see Kubernetes Documentation. |
StatefulSet | StatefulSet is the workload API object used to manage stateful applications and it represents a set of Pods with unique, persistent identities, and stable hostnames. For more information on StatefulSets, see Kubernetes Documentation. |
Job | Kubernetes jobs ensure that one or more pods execute their commands and exit successfully. For more information on Jobs, see Kubernetes Documentation. |
ConfigMap | A ConfigMap is an API object used to store non-confidential data in key-value pairs. For more information on ConfigMaps, see Kubernetes Documentation. |
Service | A Service enables network access to a set of Pods in Kubernetes. For more information on Service, see Kubernetes Documentation. |
Persistent Volume Claim | A PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) is a request for storage by a user. For more information on Persistent Volumes, see Kubernetes Documentation. |
Persistent Volume | A PersistentVolume (PV) is a piece of storage in the cluster that has been provisioned by an administrator or dynamically provisioned using storage classes. For more information on Persistent Volumes, see Kubernetes Documentation. |
Custom Resource | A Custom Resource (CR) is an extension of the Kubernetes API that is not necessarily available in a default Kubernetes installation. For more information on Custom Resources, see Kubernetes Documentation. |
Custom Resource Definition | The CustomResourceDefinition (CRD) API resource lets you define custom resources. For more information on CustomResourceDefinitions, see Kubernetes Documentation. |
Secret | A Secret is an object that contains a small amount of sensitive data such as a password, a token, or a key. Such information might otherwise be put in a Pod specification or in a container image. For more information on Secrets, see Kubernetes Documentation. |
ServiceAccount | A service account provides an identity for processes that run in a Pod. For more information on configuring the service accounts for Pods, see Kubernetes Documentation. |
ClusterRole | An RBAC Role or ClusterRole contains rules that represent a set of permissions. Permissions are purely additive (there are no "deny" rules). For more information on ClusterRole, see Kubernetes Documentation. |
ClusterRoleBinding | A role binding grants the cluster-wide permissions defined in a role to a user or set of users. For more information on ClusterRoleBinding, see Kubernetes Documentation. |
Namespace | Kubernetes supports multiple virtual clusters backed by the same physical cluster. These virtual clusters are called namespaces. For more information on Namespaces, see Kubernetes Documentation. |
