Kubernetes gives
containers their own IP addresses and a single DNS name for a set of containers, and can
load-balance across them. Services are responsible for communication between pods. ...
It consists DNS mapping with PodIP(iptables)
In other words, if you need to run a single container in Kubernetes, then you
need to create a Pod for that container. At the same time, a Pod can contain more
than one container, usually because these containers are relatively tightly coupled.
The kubelet is responsible for maintaining a set of pods, which are composed
of one or more containers, on a local system. Within a Kubernetes cluster,
thekubelet functions as a local agent that watches for pod specs via
the KubernetesAPI server.
Is a pod a container?
A pod (as in a pod of whales or pea pod) is a group of one or
more containers(such as Docker containers), with shared storage/network, and a
specification for how to run the containers
Consider a scenario where you have 5-6 microservices for an application. Now,
these microservices are put in individual containers, but won‘t be able to
communicate without container orchestration. So, as orchestration means the
amalgamation of all instruments playing together in harmony in music, similarly
container orchestration means all the services in individual containers working
together to fulfill the needs of a single server.
Consider you have 5-6 microservices for a single application performing various
tasks, and all these microservices are put inside containers. Now, to make sure that
these containers communicate with each other we need container orchestration.
What is Kubectl?
Kubectl is the platform using which you can pass commands to the cluster. So, it
basically provides the CLI to run commands against the Kubernetes cluster with
various ways to create and manage the Kubernetes component.
What is Kubelet?
This is an agent service which runs on each node and enables the slave to
communicate with the master. So, Kubelet works on the description of containers
provided to it in the PodSpec and makes sure that the containers described in the
PodSpec are healthy and running.
The Kubernetes Architecture has mainly 2 components – the master node and the
worker node. As you can see in the below diagram, the master and the worker nodes
have many inbuilt components within them. The master node has the kube-
controller-manager, kube-apiserver, kube-scheduler, etcd. Whereas the worker node
has kubelet and kube-proxy running on each node.
Kube-proxy can run on each and every node and can do simple TCP/UDP packet
forwarding across backend network service. So basically, it is a network proxy which
reflects the services as configured in Kubernetes API on each node. So, the Docker-
linkable compatible environment variables provide the cluster IPs and ports which
are opened by proxy.
Kubernetes master controls the nodes and inside the nodes the containers are
present. Now, these individual containers are contained inside pods and inside each
pod, you can have a various number of containers based upon the configuration and
requirements. So, if the pods have to be deployed, then they can either be deployed
using user interface or command line interface. Then, these pods are scheduled on
the nodes and based on the resource requirements, the pods are allocated to these
nodes. The kube-apiserver makes sure that there is communication established
between the Kubernetes node and the master components.
The kube – apiserver follows the scale-out architecture and, is the front-end of the
master node control panel. This exposes all the APIs of the Kubernetes Master node
components and is responsible for establishing communication between Kubernetes
Node and the Kubernetes master components.
Multiple controller processes run on the master node but are compiled together to
run as a single process which is the Kubernetes Controller Manager. So, Controller
Manager is a daemon that embeds controllers and does namespace creation and
garbage collection. It owns the responsibility and communicates with the API server
to manage the end-points.
So, the different types of controller manager running on the master node are :
What is ETCD?
A load balancer is one of the most common and standard ways of exposing service.
There are two types of load balancer used based on the working environment i.e.
either the Internal Load Balancer or the External Load Balancer. The Internal Load
Balancer automatically balances load and allocates the pods with the required
configuration whereas the External Load Balancer directs the traffic from the external
load to the backend pods.
What is Container resource monitoring?
Replica Set and Replication Controller do almost the same thing. Both of
them ensure that a specified number of pod replicas are running at any given time.
The difference comes with the usage of selectors to replicate pods. Replica Set use
Set-Based selectors while replication controllers use Equity-Based selectors.
Headless Service is similar to that of a ‗Normal‘ services but does not have a Cluster
IP. This service enables you to directly reach the pods without the need of accessing
it through a proxy.

d. All of the above[Ans]
You can refer the diagram shown below, as you can see that containers run on a
single machine share the same operating system kernel, they start instantly as only
apps need to start as the kernel is already running and uses less RAM.
Docker image is the source of Docker container. In other words, Docker images are
used to create containers. Images are created with the build command, and they‘ll
produce a container when started with run. Images are stored in a Docker registry
such as registry.hub.docker.com because they can become quite large, images are
designed to be composed of layers of other images, allowing a minimal amount of
data to be sent when transferring images over the network.
This is a very important question so just make sure you don‘t deviate from the topic
and I will advise you to follow the below mentioned format:
Docker containers include the application and all of its dependencies, but share the
kernel with other containers, running as isolated processes in user space on the host
operating system. Docker containers are not tied to any specific infrastructure: they
run on any computer, on any infrastructure, and in any cloud.
Now explain how to create a Docker container, Docker containers can be created by
either creating a Docker image and then running it or you can use Docker images
that are present on the Dockerhub.
Docker hub is a cloud-based registry service which allows you to link to code
repositories, build your images and test them, stores manually pushed images, and
links to Docker cloud so you can deploy images to your hosts. It provides a
centralized resource for container image discovery, distribution and change
management, user and team collaboration, and workflow automation throughout the
development pipeline.
Docker containers are easy to deploy in a cloud. It can get more applications running
on the same hardware than other technologies, it makes it easy for developers to
quickly create, ready-to-run containerized applications and it makes managing and
deploying applications much easier. You can even share containers with your
applications.
If you have some more points to add you can do that but make sure the above the
above explanation is there in your answer.
Docker Swarm is native clustering for Docker. It turns a pool of Docker hosts into a
single, virtual Docker host. Docker Swarm serves the standard Docker API, any tool
that already communicates with a Docker daemon can use Swarm to transparently
scale to multiple hosts.

Docker can build images automatically by reading the instructions from a Dockerfile.
You can use json instead of yaml for your compose file, to use json file with
compose, specify the filename to use for eg:
docker-compose -f docker-compose.json up
I will start this answer by saying Docker runs on only Linux and Cloud platforms and
then I will mention the below vendors of Linux:
Cloud:
Amazon EC2
Google Compute Engine
Microsoft Azure
Rackspace
