K8s resource: Pod

What is a Pod?

A Pod in Kubernetes is a workload resource that represents a group of one or more containers and some shared resources for those containers such as volumes or networking.

A Pod typically contains one container. Multiple containers should only be placed together in a single Pod if they’re tightly coupled and need to share resources such as disk.

Each Pod gets its own ephemeral internal IP address and can communicate with other Pods using their IP addresses.
