Kubernetes Node

A node is a worker machine in Kubernetes, responsible for running containers and other workloads. Nodes are part of a cluster and communicate with the master to receive instructions on deploying and managing containers.

There are 2 types of Node in Kubernetes:

Cumulatively these nodes make up a Kubernetes Cluster.

  • At a minimum, a cluster contains a control plane and one or more compute machines (nodes).

Node Pool

A node pool is a subset of nodes within a cluster that share the same configuration settings.

These settings include the machine type, disk type and size, and network settings.

Node pools provide a way to group nodes based on specific requirements.
