Pod & Workload Management

Different types of applications and processes that are run and managed on a Kubernetes cluster — from single Pods to complex stateful and scheduled workloads.

  • Pods

    The smallest deployable unit in Kubernetes, hosting one or more containers that share network and storage.

  • Replica Sets

    Ensures a specified number of identical Pod replicas are running at all times.

  • Workloads

    Overview of the objects that manage and run containers on the cluster.

  • Deployment Files

    YAML configuration files that define and manage Kubernetes resource deployments declaratively.

  • Helm Charts

    Package manager for Kubernetes — define, install, and upgrade complex applications using charts.

  • StatefulSets

    Manages stateful applications requiring stable network identities and persistent storage.

  • DaemonSets

    Ensures a copy of a Pod runs on every (or selected) node — used for log collectors, monitoring agents, and node utilities.

  • Jobs

    Runs one or more Pods to completion for batch processing tasks.

  • Cron Jobs

    Schedules Jobs to run at defined intervals, like a cron task in Kubernetes.
