The Kubernetes Control Plane for Busy People Who Like Pictures
summary
A rapid 201-level tour of the Kubernetes control plane enumerates each real controller, the exact resources they read and write, and the implementation patterns that make them correct and scalable: do only one thing, use informers and status fields, rely on finalizers and garbage collector for safe teardown, and design to anticipate your own effects. Covers replica sets, deployments, HPA, cluster autoscaler, endpoints, PV binder, CSR approver, scheduler, kubelet interactions, and the operator pattern, and notes controllers are toggled via controller-manager flags.
