You know Pods and Services. But to run K8s in production, you need to understand the Control Plane, Etcd consistency, and the Scheduler’s decision-making process. Control Plane Internals The Reconciliation Loop Kubernetes is basically a set of infinite loops checking `Current State == Desired State`. If not, it acts. Key Takeaways **Etcd** is the brain; […]
