Kubernetes Core Basics

Kubernetes API Server Explained

The kube-apiserver is the core component of a Kubernetes cluster, serving as the central hub that exposes the Kubernetes API.

It is designed to be highly scalable, capable of handling a large number of concurrent requests efficiently.

End users, and other cluster components, talk to the cluster via the API server. Very rarely monitoring systems and third-party services may talk to API servers to interact with the cluster.
