Replace `master` with `control-plane` in the context of K8s because `master` is a legacy term and haven't been used any more.

# Kubernetes support
|
|
|
|
[Kubernetes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/), or K8s, is a popular open source
|
|
container orchestration engine. In Kubernetes, a set of containers sharing resources
|
|
such as networking, storage, mount, PID, etc. is called a
|
|
[pod](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/).
|
|
|
|
A node can have multiple pods, but at a minimum, a node within a Kubernetes cluster
|
|
only needs to run a container runtime and a container agent (called a
|
|
[Kubelet](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/components/#kubelet)).
|
|
|
|
Kata Containers represents a Kubelet pod as a VM.
|
|
|
|
A Kubernetes cluster runs a control plane where a scheduler (typically
|
|
running on a dedicated control-plane node) calls into a compute Kubelet. This
|
|
Kubelet instance is responsible for managing the lifecycle of pods
|
|
within the nodes and eventually relies on a container runtime to
|
|
handle execution. The Kubelet architecture decouples lifecycle
|
|
management from container execution through a dedicated gRPC based
|
|
[Container Runtime Interface (CRI)](https://github.com/kubernetes/design-proposals-archive/blob/main/node/container-runtime-interface-v1.md).
|
|
|
|
In other words, a Kubelet is a CRI client and expects a CRI
|
|
implementation to handle the server side of the interface.
|
|
[CRI-O](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-o) and
|
|
[containerd](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/) are CRI
|
|
implementations that rely on
|
|
[OCI](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec) compatible
|
|
runtimes for managing container instances.
|
|
|
|
Kata Containers is an officially supported CRI-O and containerd
|
|
runtime. Refer to the following guides on how to set up Kata
|
|
Containers with Kubernetes:
