Kubernetes for the most part feels like a magical black box that knows how to fix your problems for you. However as Indradhanush himself found out one day while hacking on Kubernetes that understanding what goes on behind the scenes not only helps to debug tricky scenarios but design better solutions for the Kubernetes ecosystem. In this talk, he will help shed the mystery behind the “kubectl” command that appears to magically manage our services. He will take the audience on a tour of the Kubernetes architecture describing the role of each component and look at how authentication and authorization checks are done on a command before accepting and persisting the state into Kubernetes. Indradhanush will also talk about the role of the kubelet and the container runtime in managing pods and finally about networking in Kubernetes for communication across nodes.
