Clusters

Overview

A Kubernetes Cluster comprises of two components:

  • Control Plane
  • Worker Nodes

The diagram in this web page illustrates the high level architecture of a Kubernetes Cluster.

When you create a Cluster through Quark, both the Control Plane and the Worker Nodes are created. Quark creates the Control Plane using the managed Kubernetes services of Cloud Providers (such as Amazon EKS). The managed service takes care of all the responsibilities such as Availability, Scaling, Backup, Security of the Control Plane. Worker Nodes are created using Virtual Machines provided by respective Cloud Provider.
