The document provides an overview of the key building blocks that make up Kubernetes, including:
- Deployments to manage replicated applications and roll out updates.
- Services for load balancing and exposing applications using labels.
- Jobs and CronJobs for running periodic or one-time tasks.
- Volumes for persistent storage and sharing data between containers.
- StatefulSets for managing stateful applications.
- Ingresses for external access to applications via an load balancer.
The document outlines the purpose and usage of each building block at a high level through diagrams and YAML examples. It aims to explain the fundamental components that can be composed to build and run applications on Kubernetes.
