How the control plane and nodes work together

- In this video, we will use a time sequence diagram to visualize how the Kubernetes control plane and a node work together to create a pod. A time sequence diagram shows the sequential order of actions as they occur. The first action is at the top of the diagram, and the last is at the bottom. Software processes are often complex, and things can occur at the same time, so this time sequence diagram is a simplification of how Kubernetes works, but it will show us the basic order of how a pod gets scheduled onto a node. There are three different parts of this diagram. On the left is an icon of a person that represents you running a cube control command from your computer. In the middle, there's a representation of the Kubernetes control plane with all its components, and on the right side of the diagram is a representation of a single Kubernetes worker node with the kubelet and container runtime. The first action we see is…
