Running containers in podsΒΆ

When we installed kubectl and minikube, we ran a command minikube start. It created a new VM on our computer that is running as a Node.

It will be used by kubernetes to run different objects.

One of the most basic objects are known as a Pod for which we previously made a configuration file. It will group containers for the nginx image.

Pod must run 1 or more containers within it. Usually when there are multiple containers defined in the Pod, it is because they are tighlt coupled. Like a database backup service would most certaily need a database in order for it to run.

The metadata section is mostly used for logging purposes and object coupling.
