Accepted Answer

Kubernetes components are essential parts of the Kubernetes system that work together to manage containerized applications.

Kube-apiserver: Exposes the Kubernetes API and serves as the front-end for the Kubernetes control plane.
Kube-controller-manager: Runs controller processes that regulate the state of the cluster.
Kube-scheduler: Assigns workloads to nodes based on resource availability and other constraints.
Kubelet: An agent that runs on each node and ensures containers are running in a pod.
Kube-proxy: Maintains network rules and forwards traffic to the appropriate pods.
Etcd: Consistent and highly-available key-value store used as Kubernetes' backing store for all cluster data.
