Pod

What is a Kubernetes Pod?

Pods are the basic compute deployment unit in Kubernetes. Pods consist of one or more containers. All containers on the pod are managed together and share resources allocated to the pod. Pods represent a single application instance, so they can be easily scaled up or down. Kubernetes pods have a specific lifecycle that is managed by Kubernetes.
