Pods

Pod is a process that runs on your Kubernetes cluster. Pod encapsulates a granular unit known as a container. A pod can contain one or multiple containers.

Kubernetes deploys one or multiple pods on a single node which can be a physical or virtual machine. Each pod has a discrete identity with an internal IP address and port space. However, the containers within a pod can share the storage and network resources.

The following table lists the pod names and the hosts on which they are deployed depending on the labels that you assign. For information on how to assign the labels, see Associating Pods to the Nodes.
